YES! Not only was Lemmy a rock legend, he captured the fans hearts because he was such a nice guy, like his friend Ronnie Dio. (And neither is in the alleged Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!😮) Thanks Aileen!
Imagine a "rock and roll hall of fame" that features pop, hip hop, and country artists, but no Lemmy or Dio. Inconceivable. And yet this is the timeline we live in.
As an englishman im incredibly proud our small nation has produced some of, if not most of, all, the most influential rock and heavy metal bands of all time.
This is by far their most famous song, and incredibly popular even outside the metal genre. While there have been several members over the years, the three guys in this video are what most would consider the classic line up. All three of them have sadly passed away. Phil passed away first, with Lemmy passing away only a month later. Eddie left us just over two years after Lemmy.
Lemmy 100 % real . He was the same on stage and off . Just a nice guy . Once a fan told him “you are god …..”. Lemmy replied “ you have really low standards don’t you “ with a big smile . “;
The band that shaped me growing up. RIP Lemmy, the guitarist has his own band with his son, and the drummer is now in Scorpions. They are no longer around but thier music will live on forever.
Great, iconic song that influenced punk, metal, hard rock and alternative, Lemmy & Co. Really blew it out when I saw them. First they opened for Ozzy Osbourne when he still had Randy Rhodes on killer lead, both bands were a nuclear weapon going off, that whole show was one of the best for extreme rock sensibilities I ever saw. Then I saw Motorhead headline in a large bar, as soon as they turned on the amps we knew we were in for it! Tremendous dose of Lemmy at point blank range, he was sweating and working hard, the man does not mail it in. More Motorhead, do the official and then the live video of Overkill, tremendous bulldozer of a song. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶
Orgasmatron, definitely. Best track they've ever done. It never actually got officially released, so there's no official video, but there's a really great half-animated fan-made one on here that's just PERFECT.
I was on crowd control at Sheffield City Hall when Motorhead were touring and promoting this album. When they came on stage, the crowd surge flattened the front three rows of seats. Fun pulling people outta that I can tell you.
I own sooo many motorhead t shirts.....lol... and was the first album i ever bought, been there since the birth of this loud ,greasy baby and love it...Lemmy has pride of place over my mantlepiece..
This song was the song that made me realise as a kid that faster rock/metal songs are also amazing, i was stuck with some radio friendly rock/pop songs for many years, until this song. This song by the way i feel and it hasn’t changed my view to this day after listening to soooo many rock/metal songs in all kind of subgenres, this song to this day according to me has THE BEST OUTRO of all time!
Only it wasn't Rock n' Roll as the old rockers like Jerry Lee Lewis or Eddie Cochran fans knew it. This was heavy metal rock music, the difference was as clear as night and day. Lemmy was an old rocker with his hair grown long, but his music was another generation on from original R n' R. I knew many Teddy Boys and rockers back in the 70's and early 80's and not one of them considered Motorhead as rock n' roll. to them they were just a long haired rock band who made a racket and they had nothing good to say about them.
@@fezhat7096people like to put AC/DC in all sorts of genres also and they are another self proclaimed rock n roll band. It’s in the songs and several Interviews, in one Malcolm explains in detail. To me the difference is that swing in the rhythm. Metal doesn’t tend to have that, neither does most rock/hard rock. That’s how I see it.
Love the reaction. So refreshing to watch a video where you just enjoy the song first & then say what you've gotta say afterwards. Motorhead were great, and being a Jack Daniel's swilling, rock loving, bloke called Ian from Stoke-on-Trent, I always had a great connection with Lemmy... If you want more Motorhead you could always try something like "We are the road crew" (Especially if you can find a good live version) or if you want to hear a different side of Motorhead then something like an acoustic version of "I ain't no nice guy" is worth a listen.
Seeing them live was an experience. I only saw them once, when they were touring with "special guests" Sepultura. Well, Sepultura were absolutely brutal. No nonsense, no faff, just straight-up Brazilian thrash metal. They were so good that I had a bit of difficulty getting into the Motörhead set when Lemmy and his friends came on stage. At the time, I was more familiar with Sepultura than with Motörhead. However, Lemmy turned it around in short order. Lemmy famously had no tolerance for faff or bullshit. They just came on stage and did their thing. From time to time, Lemmy would ask the audience if it was loud enough. And, whatever noises we made he got his sound guy to turn it up anyway. At the end of their set, Lemmy said "This is the bit where we pretend to go away, then you make lots of noise and we come back and do another song." Since Ace of Spades had not happened yet, I had a suspicion that it would be their encore song. It's their most widely-known song, after all. (Yes, they came back on and played Ace of Spades. ) "Everything louder than everything else." Yup. My ears were ringing for three days after that.
Such a good reaction! This is one of their greatest hits. In my opinion, now the natural choice would be reating to "Overkill". And he had such an amazing voice, one of the greatest frontmen in rock history! R.I.P., Lemmy!
Fun fact: This song was also used as an Easter Egg song in the Zombies map, Gorod Krovi (City of Blood) in COD Black Ops 3. Treyarch did a good job on paying tribute to Lemmy and the rest of the band.
Motorhead is usually a great mix of metal and punk. Check out some more of their stuff I recommend.” I Got Mine, I’m so bad(baby I don’t care), Overkill, and bomber” All killers.
@@geerttaelemans657 I think you meant 1916. Yeah missed that one. I could have also added “Damage Case, Shine, Sacrifice, and almost all of the rest of the Ace of Spades album. I didn’t want the comment to turn into a book. Lol
I think , now you know why the guitarist is called ' fast' Eddie and Phil , the drummer is 'Animal'...I saw these guys first time in 1984, it was the loudest concert, I have ever seen!!
Yes! Motörhead! When Lemmy introduced the band he would say”we’re Motörhead and we play rock n’ roll. My favorite quote from him was “if we moved in the house beside you, we play so loud your grass would die”.
I’ve been to A LOT of shows. Motörhead was the LOUDEST band I have ever heard live. Lemmy (RIP) said “these m f*ers can’t hear, let’s turn it up to 11! It was at the Warfield in San Francisco.
Seeing you upload again is such a fresh breath of air into my sub box. Glad you're back now and back with this song?? What a song to return with! Onwards to 200k subs
Metallica was heavily influenced by Motorhead. Motorhead even did a cover of "Enter Sandman" that they uploaded onto their RUclips channel. Lemmy (the bass player and lead singer for Motorhead) even got to play with Metallica back on September 14th of 2009 as Metallica covered two of Motorhead's songs, "Damage Case" and "Too Late Too Late". There were also two more Motorhead songs that Metallica covered back in December of 1995 while Metallica was rehearsing for Lemmy's 50th birthday party, "Overkill" and "Stone Dead Forever".
Lemmy, the iconic frontman of Motorhead, left an indelible mark on the world of rock and roll. He epitomized the rockstar stereotype, embodying rebellion, excess, and unapologetic attitude. Motorhead's significance lies not only in their thunderous sound but also in their influence on shaping heavy metal and hard rock. Their anthems like "Ace of Spades" and "Overkill" became anthems of defiance, capturing the essence of their live-fast, no-holds-barred ethos. Albums like "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" and "Bomber" are etched into rock history, showcasing Lemmy's gritty vocals and the band's relentless energy. His legacy persists through his music and the impact he had on generations of fans and fellow musicians.
I remember when it came out, I was a kid, and was probably doing an impression of someone having a seizure , it came out in 1980 I think, so I wasn't very old. I have loved that song ever since..
the saddest thing is, every single one of this lineup ist passed away in a time of 3 years 😢 My contact ro Motörhead was 1981 and it hurts when the memories come
There was no speed metal until Motorhead. Their albums and songs were so full of symbolism they put you right in the story. Check out the track Serial Killer I think you will like it.
"It's so short..." ... yeah... so you can listen to it again... and again... and again... so you can enjoy three times the awesomeness in the same amount of time !
They broke the mold when they made Lemmy, he was rock 'n roll. He saw The Beatles at the cavern club, was a roadie with Hendrix, played a gig at Stonehenge, the list goes on and on. Henry Rollins has some really great and really sweet stories about him.
There is a short 21-second video on RUclips titled "Lemmy says" that sums up Lemmy perfectly. It is Lemmys son sharing some wisdom his father gave him.
Lemy was one of very few rock stars that looks the way he sounds. You could hear motor head and not know what he looks like then you see him and he’s exactly how you envisioned him
Lemmy was in Hawkwind before he started Motörhead, naming the band after the last song he wrote for Hawkwind. Well before that he was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix. Another must see Motörhead track is Overkill.
A great party song😍👍🏻🤘🏻💪🏻. Please check out ”Imperiet- var är vargen ”. A Swedish song from the early-80s. Another great party song. I think you can get it with English suptitels, but I might be wrong.
I would suggest checking out a live performance of their track Overkill. It's a far more energetic and more encapsulating of Motörhead then this track (Yes, this track is a classic, but they made better songs. Yes i know that's an unpopular opinion) Trivia: There is common misconception about the album this song was on. People think this was their biggest hit, but it never broke the top 3 on the charts. Their highest charting album was the album after this one, called No Sleep 'til Hammersmith (a live album) and went in at number 1 the week of release Adding other suggestions: Don't let daddy kiss me, We are Motörhead, Keys to the Kingdom, Eat the Rich, In the Name of Tragedy, Orgasmatron, 1916, I'm so Bad Baby I Don't Care, Killed by Death. Just to name a few :)
You make a good point. Ace of Spades is a classic, but for me Bomber is their best track and my favourite song of all time. That riff just never gets old. I saw them a few times and they blew the roof off the place!
I never forget ... When Motörhead played in The Netherlands. They stood there, and Lemmy screamed: "we're Motörhead, and we play rock n roll! Let's go!' And then they played Overkill! I love that song! It doesn't stop...it just doesn't stop. 😊
Great words and insights at the end of their action. I truly enjoyed that. I absolutely love "Philthy" Animal from this classic lineup of Mötorhead. I never get tired of watching him. They have another banger called Whiplash, which is from a few years later than this but not a whole lot later.
If I remember correctly … Motorhead was the first band to do “double bass” in the drums … basically the grandfathers of metal .. a genre they never claimed to play..
One of my favorite reactions to this band is from Anthrax's Scott Ian. He listened to this album and looked at the photo of the band on the back and thought, "Who are these mexicans and how do they play so fast?" Makes me laugh everytime I think of it.
a motorhead is someone who uses speed. lemmy once said he didnt get kicked out of hawkwind for doing drugs, he got kicked out for doing the wrong drugs. the rest of them were on psychedelics lemmy was on amphetamines.
We saw them as part of the "Operation Rock 'n' Roll" that toured the eastern US. The lineup was Metal Church, Dangerous Toys, Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Alice Cooper. Motorhead's performance looked exactly like this video. I don't think they ever had any pretense.
I've heard someone describe lemmys signature sounding voice compared to a bottle of jack Daniel's that's been smoking Marlboro reds for years. It's got that gravely depth to it.
It oh are right in the statement that all they cared about was the music. In the 40 years I've hey were active, Lemmy started every show with "WE ARE MOTORHEAD... AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL!" Which is exactly what they did. And when Lemmy diee, you he band died.
You've got to check out British glam rock band slade. They were so big in the UK in the 70's and went right through from 1966 - 1992. Songs to check our are - Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Cum On Feel the Noize, Merry Xmas Everybody, Everyday, How Does It Feel, Lock Up Your Daughters, My Oh My, Still the Same, Ooh La La in L.A, We Won't Give In, Universe, "Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I'm on Fire), Wheels Ain't Coming Down
Aileen, you captured it. These guys were not just rockers. They were involved in their music. They were part of the music body and soul. That is why Lemmy (bass), Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor (drums), and 'Fast' Eddie Clarke (lead guitar) sounded so good. After Eddie left the band it never sounded the same again, as he brought something to Motorhead that made the sound so special. These guys invented heavy metal. They came before all the other heavy metal bands that set out to replicate and better their sound. Motorhead was a sort of combination between a rock and a punk band, and was applauded by both genres. Lemmy called himself a guitarist that plays bass, and not a bass guitarist. And if you listen closely, he plays the bass almost like a lead guitar. A totally approachable and very down to earth and sensible person. Phil was the original thrash metal drummer, before anyone else could claim that title which belonged solely to him. He was a little wild at times, but still an exceptional drummer who devised the use of two bass drums in the music. Eddie was lovely bloke, and a guitarist of superlative technique with an exquisite sound. Lemmy and Phil were the cake, and Eddie was the icing and cherries on top! What more could anyone ask for? Next one to try is The Hammer with the same line up. This song was Phil's song. Unfortunately all three are now deceased, but their legend lives on. Incidentally, Lemmy was a roadie for The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
I saw this line up in about 1982, probably when No Sleep 'til Hammersmith came out. No Class and Bomber were my favourites. Easily the loudest gig I'd been to until I heard the Instruments of Jah reggae sound system play!
The lead singer Lemmy is considered the grandfather of metal. Started as a roadie for Jimmy Hendrix and started a band of his own playing the bass and singing. Eventually making moatorhead that every metal band to metalica worships and had some kind of a friendship with being there inspiration. Was even mine for getting my bass so I wasn't only doing vocals.
Thank you for finally doing Motorhead, and in particular Ace of Spades. It went exactly like I knew it would, you went from the biggest smile to absolute stink-face and back to the biggest smile! Love your reactions Aileen!
We were late to a concert and we literally only caught this song live at an outdoor venue here called Pine Knob. You should check it out, it was voted the best outdoor venue in the country. We may have missed their whole set but, we caught this and it was completely worth it. "Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?" "It's a trick question, Lemmy IS GOD!" -Airheads a movie you should see
Triple H who is a wrestling legend in WWE loved and was friends with Motorhead and Lemmy the lead singer. And he used The game as his entrance and King of Kings also. The game is a good song by Motorhead.
One of very few bands that has zero to no haters. Pretty much every metalhead loves motorhead
Motörhead is the one band both metalheads and Punks loved.
I think people have a great deal of respect for them because of lemmy he was truly an icon
If they DONT... THEY ARE NOT METALHEADS...!
@@Sabretooth13 I always described myself as a Metalpunk(!), since I love both genres
Rock and Rollers and PsychoBillies also love Motorhead
It’s a minor miracle Lemmy lived to the ripe old age of 70. That’s like 500 in Lemmy years.
YES! Not only was Lemmy a rock legend, he captured the fans hearts because he was such a nice guy, like his friend Ronnie Dio. (And neither is in the alleged Rock and Roll Hall of Fame!😮) Thanks Aileen!
RRHOF is a joke. Fuck em. RIP Lemmy.
Imagine a "rock and roll hall of fame" that features pop, hip hop, and country artists, but no Lemmy or Dio.
Inconceivable. And yet this is the timeline we live in.
Lemmy also had a metric ton of s3xual partners and not One sting or allegation of misconduct.
Talk about a classy playboy lol.
As an englishman im incredibly proud our small nation has produced some of, if not most of, all, the most influential rock and heavy metal bands of all time.
Ace of Spades is the very first Motorhead album I’ve bought, I’ve been a fan of them ever since
R.I.P. Lemmy
R.I.P Phil Taylor
R.I.P. Eddie Clarke
Lemmy didn't die. He just had to go back up and rule Heaven again!
They were Motörhead and the played rock 'n' roll music. That's it.
This is by far their most famous song, and incredibly popular even outside the metal genre.
While there have been several members over the years, the three guys in this video are what most would consider the classic line up.

Lemmy replied “ you have really low standards don’t you “ with a big smile .

This is such an iconic song I play this every-time something fun and exciting happens just gives you that energy to go crazy 😂 RIP the almighty Lemmy
👍🤘
Ah, good old Moles-in-head. The absolute best, loudest concert I’ve ever been to live. I still feel it in my bones from over 20 years ago.
The best Motörhead line up ever. Was fortunate enough to see them on their Ace of Spades tour in 1981.
Pure perfection - RIP Lem, Eddie & Philthy 🤘🤘🤘
The band that shaped me growing up. RIP Lemmy, the guitarist has his own band with his son, and the drummer is now in Scorpions. They are no longer around but thier music will live on forever.

I think the Sepultura version is excellent
Motörhead was their own genre. Hard to define. Quicksilver in motion.
I think this is the first video I’ve seen where your pulse went above 92! Motörhead and especially Lemmy were amazing! Lemmy is GOD!

Adding other suggestions: Don't let daddy kiss me, We are Motörhead, Keys to the Kingdom, Eat the Rich, In the Name of Tragedy, Orgasmatron, 1916, I'm so Bad Baby I Don't Care, Killed by Death.
Just to name a few :)
No voices in the sky.... that... that is a song..
You make a good point. Ace of Spades is a classic, but for me Bomber is their best track and my favourite song of all time. That riff just never gets old. I saw them a few times and they blew the roof off the place!
We are the road crew, Smiling like a Killer, Eat the Ritch, riding with the driver. Cover of Hero’s
'God was never on your side', and, 'One more fu**ing time', are good Motorhead songs that spring to mind. Particularly the second one.😁🤘
1:07 The moment Aileen realized she was in love with Lemmy. He had that special charm women couldn't resist.
Dave grohl gave an amazingly powerful eulogy for Lemmy.. captured who the god we call Lemmy was
Lemmy only needs 2 minutes to rock your socks off.
True fucking legend. Unique and irrepeteable.
One of the few bands that Punks, rockers and heavy metallers loved.
I never forget ... When Motörhead played in The Netherlands.
They stood there, and Lemmy screamed: "we're Motörhead, and we play rock n roll! Let's go!'
And then they played Overkill! I love that song! It doesn't stop...it just doesn't stop. 😊
Great words and insights at the end of their action. I truly enjoyed that.
I absolutely love "Philthy" Animal from this classic lineup of Mötorhead. I never get tired of watching him.
They have another banger called Whiplash, which is from a few years later than this but not a whole lot later.
If I remember correctly … Motorhead was the first band to do “double bass” in the drums … basically the grandfathers of metal .. a genre they never claimed to play..
One of my favorite reactions to this band is from Anthrax's Scott Ian. He listened to this album and looked at the photo of the band on the back and thought, "Who are these mexicans and how do they play so fast?" Makes me laugh everytime I think of it.
Seen them in concert 5th of November 1980 Carlisle, Cumbria England.
RIP Lemmy. Nothing to say but he really was rock n roll incarnate. He didn't want to be anything else.
"Always at a 10" sums up Motörhead pretty well.
No....Motorhead was the band that turn it up to 11 😊
a motorhead is someone who uses speed. lemmy once said he didnt get kicked out of hawkwind for doing drugs, he got kicked out for doing the wrong drugs. the rest of them were on psychedelics lemmy was on amphetamines.
welcome to the MotorHead part of your Journey 🤘 there is no wrong path
We saw them as part of the "Operation Rock 'n' Roll" that toured the eastern US. The lineup was Metal Church, Dangerous Toys, Motorhead, Judas Priest, and Alice Cooper. Motorhead's performance looked exactly like this video. I don't think they ever had any pretense.
I've heard someone describe lemmys signature sounding voice compared to a bottle of jack Daniel's that's been smoking Marlboro reds for years. It's got that gravely depth to it.
It oh are right in the statement that all they cared about was the music. In the 40 years I've hey were active, Lemmy started every show with "WE ARE MOTORHEAD... AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL!" Which is exactly what they did. And when Lemmy diee, you he band died.
Classic tune great reaction
incredibly nice reaction, the main thing is to have fun with it
You've got to check out British glam rock band slade. They were so big in the UK in the 70's and went right through from 1966 - 1992. Songs to check our are - Mama Weer All Crazee Now, Cum On Feel the Noize, Merry Xmas Everybody, Everyday, How Does It Feel, Lock Up Your Daughters, My Oh My, Still the Same, Ooh La La in L.A, We Won't Give In, Universe, "Rock and Roll Preacher (Hallelujah I'm on Fire), Wheels Ain't Coming Down
This is probably the best reaction i'v ever seen to any song. And you had pure joy hearing that song.
Aileen, you captured it. These guys were not just rockers. They were involved in their music. They were part of the music body and soul. That is why Lemmy (bass), Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor (drums), and 'Fast' Eddie Clarke (lead guitar) sounded so good. After Eddie left the band it never sounded the same again, as he brought something to Motorhead that made the sound so special.
These guys invented heavy metal. They came before all the other heavy metal bands that set out to replicate and better their sound. Motorhead was a sort of combination between a rock and a punk band, and was applauded by both genres. Lemmy called himself a guitarist that plays bass, and not a bass guitarist. And if you listen closely, he plays the bass almost like a lead guitar. A totally approachable and very down to earth and sensible person. Phil was the original thrash metal drummer, before anyone else could claim that title which belonged solely to him. He was a little wild at times, but still an exceptional drummer who devised the use of two bass drums in the music. Eddie was lovely bloke, and a guitarist of superlative technique with an exquisite sound. Lemmy and Phil were the cake, and Eddie was the icing and cherries on top! What more could anyone ask for?
Next one to try is The Hammer with the same line up. This song was Phil's song. Unfortunately all three are now deceased, but their legend lives on. Incidentally, Lemmy was a roadie for The Jimi Hendrix Experience.
A true gentleman , evryone who met him fell in love with him , a wonderful group of guys .
I saw this line up in about 1982, probably when No Sleep 'til Hammersmith came out. No Class and Bomber were my favourites. Easily the loudest gig I'd been to until I heard the Instruments of Jah reggae sound system play!
Motorhead and Ozzie duet "I Ain't No Nice Guy" (Video) is one of the coolest duets I ever heard. Check it out if you haven't yet.
We’re Motörhead!! And we play rock n roll !!
The lead singer Lemmy is considered the grandfather of metal. Started as a roadie for Jimmy Hendrix and started a band of his own playing the bass and singing. Eventually making moatorhead that every metal band to metalica worships and had some kind of a friendship with being there inspiration.
Was even mine for getting my bass so I wasn't only doing vocals.
One of the best group in game they were on a tv show from England young ones they would have groups a week great music
Great reaction, love this song !!!
PS: I like your top. Looks awesome
Thank you for finally doing Motorhead, and in particular Ace of Spades. It went exactly like I knew it would, you went from the biggest smile to absolute stink-face and back to the biggest smile! Love your reactions Aileen!
1980. No one sang like Lemmy back then. Legend.
We were late to a concert and we literally only caught this song live at an outdoor venue here called Pine Knob. You should check it out, it was voted the best outdoor venue in the country. We may have missed their whole set but, we caught this and it was completely worth it. "Who would win in a fight, Lemmy or God?" "It's a trick question, Lemmy IS GOD!" -Airheads a movie you should see
Triple H who is a wrestling legend in WWE loved and was friends with Motorhead and Lemmy the lead singer. And he used The game as his entrance and King of Kings also. The game is a good song by Motorhead.
