No frills, no BS - they were the real deal - the pure essence of it. They made other bands look like a bunch of girls on their prom night. RIP Motorhead.
Even as an old Punk I have to say that for me this has always been the purest distillation of all things Rock and Roll. Lemmy and the boys are everything this music is supposed to be. Glad you got it and glad too that it got you.
Another old punk here, Motörhead was the ONLY rock not looked down upon when punks started to be elitist about music. Nobody had an argument against them 😂
Next song ? It has to be 'Overkill', their most self-defining song from their greatest ever album of the same name. There'll be no turning back concerning Motorhead from there on in.
Overkill, Bomber, Ace of spades. Those three studio albums are flawless. And then for dessert No sleep till Hammersmith, their live album, up there with the best live albums ever
When Lemmy passed a blues player ( guitarist ) that has turned a shovel into a three strings electric, played with a slide. Payed a tribute to this song on a spade that was phenomenal, the guys name Justin Johnson. You might be surprised Lee.
"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL" is what Lemmy said at the start of every show then would say "WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND THAT WAS ROCK N ROLL" at the end of every show that's all he would say no chit chat between songs no fucking around
This was the classic line up that I saw live three times in 1979 and 1980 leaning over the edge of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London. I was so close my eyebrows were singed as the smokebombs went off. Although they are miming here to the studio track this is exactly how they sounded, looked and acted on stage at live gigs.
Lemmy was such a sweet guy, the documentary made on him is a must see. Dave Grohl at his eulogy told a story about bringing a signed Little Richard photo he knew Lemmy would treasure.
UK, Young One, Broadcasts on the Beeb, this hit like a freight truck. I think only the Damned hit so hard from a Young Ones appearance and that was with a song they wrote special for the show. Also check out "Headgirl", a colab Motörhead did with Girlschool, a UK all female rock band. The lead track was a cover of "please don't touch", it made number 5 in the charts! The national POP charts. In the 80's weird stuff like that could happen
Yep, this is 1980, but Lemmy formed the band in mid 1975 and this line-up was together from early 1976. They always sounded like this, just got better at it. During their heyday, Motorhead was the only heavy rock band that punks were permitted to admire. Denise Dufort was the drummer from Girlschool (all-female rock band), who had collaborated with Motorhead before.
You've just discovered the greatest band ever! 1980 was the first of many times that I saw these guys, on the Ace up your Sleeve tour in Bristol UK. RIP Lem, Fast Eddie & Philthy - Motorhead for life 🤘🤘🤘
"Just 'Cos You Got The Power" is my favorite Motorhead tune. The live version from the "No Sleep At All" album may be the best performance, but others certainly have their virtues.
Denise Dufort was drummer with all girl band "Girlschool"who were on the same label in the U.K. as "Motorhead". They did a duet E.P. together called "the saint valentines day massacre" which included the hit "Please Don't Touch" you really need to check it out.
So many great Motörhead albums in my collection, First choice , Overkill, 2nd Another perfect day , 3rd orgasmatron Also check the song Ramones by Motörhead & also the band Disrupt with Wurzel from Motörhead
Gday Lee,first time i heard motorhead,old mate had them on tape(yes tape)in 79,in a datsun 1600 had it up to 11 driving down the freeway on the way to the coast at 6AM,surfboards on roof,smoking a joint,loving life.Have a listen to hellraiser or march or die.
Look up Compressorhead’s version of The Ace of Spades…..someone loved this enough to go through a lot of cash and trouble to make a robot tribute band to Lemmy
Early 90s, end of term when my wife was teaching, her class got the chance to pick some music to listen to and they voted for some boy band. She said something like "you're not making me listen to that - how about _Ace_ _of_ _Spades?"_ - so they played that instead. 😂
Lemmy is awesome slamming it out with that Rickenbacker bass. Yeah play it again- love it! Also dig Motorhead's Civil War and Them Not Me. Wicked nasty rock.
Phil "filthy animal" Taylor 😊 great drummer Friend of mine was singing along with full conviction... The aids from space... 😂😂 And everibody has been touched by Motörhead indirectly. The amount of musicians stating they were a huge influence.. including Metallica.. Overkill... Overkill... Go
Just listen to their first live album ‘No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith’. Every song is killer. It gives you energy for days. I know there were a lot of great bands at the time, but when it comes to metal there was metal before No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith and there’s metal after No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith. What I mean is…. after this album metal changed and just like every rock guitarist is indebted to Eddie van Halen, every metal band after this was indebted to Motörhead. Hell, you could even make the claim that the whole grunge scene could’ve never existed without Motörhead, because they were the only band that were able to unite metalheads and punks. Long story. I was there when it happened. In fact, the first ‘famous’ band I ever went to was Motörhead. Unfortunately, this was just after fast Eddie left the band. Still a great concert though. With Thin Lizzy’s Brian Robertson (or, as introduced by Lemmy, “the man with the fuckin’ haircut - he just cut his hair and painted it in all colours of the rainbow). 🧡😅
Saw this lineup in the summer of 1980 outdoors in Minnesota. They finished their opening piece and Lemmy said "now for a love song." Then the opening riffs of this tune happened. Yep, pure love for this version of Motorhead! I will never forget that quote.
Saw them at Manchester Apollo and they were as loud as usual… after, we all piled into pub up the road, so everyone is getting drinks, jukebox playing, ears buzzing. Then the jukebox suddenly switched off and for about 5 seconds there was a deadly silence as we all stared at each other in panic, thinking our eardrums had been destroyed! The relief when the jukebox came back on! 😂
The Motörhead concert with Ramones as closing act in May 1994 in Buenos Aires was the loudest concert i ever attended in my life,i was deaf 4 days after that. I really don't understand how they could play at that volume for 40 years and not go deaf. For more Motörhead i recommend you: -Iron Fist -I'm So Bad Baby(I Don't Care) -Hellraiser -Burner -Liar -Overnight Sensation -Broken -We Are Motörhead -Killed By Death -Overkill -Going To Brazil -No Class -Bomber
Denise Dufort is from the band Girlschool who supported Moterhead many times in the early days. For me Girlschool are the most underrated band ever. Cmon let's go, Race the devil, Emergency are absolute bangers. As well Lead guitarist Kelly Johnson I would put alltime best guitarist
The ultimate non-posers. Motorhead's a genre to themselves. The only band the punks and metal heads both liked. Lemmy always said we play rock n roll, just faster and louder than everybody else. Great lyricist. Check out the documentary "Lemmy". ps Too big of Motorhead fan to recommend songs, but try Overkill and Ace of Spades for best early albums, Sacrifice and Bastards for mid period, Inferno and Motorizer for late period. But you'll be missing a lot if you only hear those. Sentimental favorite: The Birthday Party, a blazing live set when they were banned from releasing albums due to to legal stuff.
RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, They kept their amps set to 11, and you had to feel that wall of sound that hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer to experience that raw power
"...gonna play it again". The only possible reaction.
😂😂😂 how can you not? 👍
Legally I think you have to
Exactly
Total respect for that but it should be," gonna play that again, but louder this time" 😁
@@LS-uw5onput it above 11 for sure 😂😂
Lemmy said in an interview, "We wanted to be the band, if we moved next door to you, your lawn would die!".
No frills, no BS - they were the real deal - the pure essence of it. They made other bands look like a bunch of girls on their prom night. RIP Motorhead.
Even as an old Punk I have to say that for me this has always been the purest distillation of all things Rock and Roll. Lemmy and the boys are everything this music is supposed to be. Glad you got it and glad too that it got you.
Lemmy spent some time playing with The Damned
@@Kevvinm Somewhere in the depths of my music collection i have a copy of the MotorDam sessions , the Damned are criminally underrated .
Another old punk here, Motörhead was the ONLY rock not looked down upon when punks started to be elitist about music. Nobody had an argument against them 😂
Don't put this on your driving playlist unless you're OK with getting a bunch of speeding tickets!
1980, number 1 in the UK charts, metal ruled then, loved lemmy in hawkwind
Saw them in 78 and 80, my ears are still ringing 👀
Next song ? It has to be 'Overkill', their most self-defining song from their greatest ever album of the same name. There'll be no turning back concerning Motorhead from there on in.
"We are Motörhead" would be my pick. Fabulous lyrics, delivered in a voice that sounds like Lemmy is speaking from down in a mine shaft.
Lemmy ; the only rock star i missed ,when we left us.
Overkill, Bomber, Ace of spades.
Those three studio albums are flawless. And then for dessert No sleep till Hammersmith, their live album, up there with the best live albums ever
Best reaction ever hahaha! Absolutely play it again
When Lemmy passed a blues player ( guitarist ) that has turned a shovel into a three strings electric, played with a slide. Payed a tribute to this song on a spade that was phenomenal, the guys name Justin Johnson. You might be surprised Lee.
You got a like, just for playing it twice!
"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL" is what Lemmy said at the start of every show then would say "WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND THAT WAS ROCK N ROLL" at the end of every show that's all he would say no chit chat between songs no fucking around
"We are the future, Baby, used to be the past.
We are the first to come and just might be the last
We are Motörhead and we don't have no class!"
😄
In its way one of the most perfect pieces of music ever recorded.
Philthy killing it, RIP
"Play it again" Yes!!!
Hell yeah, loved the double play!
Motörhead with the classic line up here are the most pure rock n roll you can listen to…just at ear bleeding volumes. Magnificent.
This was the classic line up that I saw live three times in 1979 and 1980 leaning over the edge of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London. I was so close my eyebrows were singed as the smokebombs went off. Although they are miming here to the studio track this is exactly how they sounded, looked and acted on stage at live gigs.

That will now be with you for life. 🖤
Absolutely maximum rock and roll

The 80's were the entirety of my teens. I am always instantly transported back in time to the salad days of my youth
"We're a Rock and Roll band, just everything louder than everything else"
Saw them on the Ace Of Spades Tour at Glasgow Apollo .
The best .
Now we're talking!!!Godfathers of grunge!!! Biker rock.....love it...R.I.P Lemmy and Phil.....truly underrated 3 piece.
The real deal, right bro? This shit was AWESOME
@L33Reacts yeah...Britain was rocking in 1980.... check out Saxon......anything off their "Wheels of steel" album🤟
Lemmy was a massive Beatles fan!
We are the road crew, Bomber, loads of hits from this tour/album
Yes! Play it again. 🤘♠️🤘
Well done, sir.
I had to! That was NUTS

Classic lineup, Lemmy Kilmimster Vocals and bass; Fast Eddy Clarke. Lead Guitar; Philthy Animal Taylor. Drums.
h, yeah!
"Just 'Cos You Got The Power" is my favorite Motorhead tune. The live version from the "No Sleep At All" album may be the best performance, but others certainly have their virtues.
"Rock and Roll Till I Die", they certainly did.
No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith is one of the greatest live albums ever.
Denise Dufort was drummer with all girl band "Girlschool"who were on the same label in the U.K. as "Motorhead".
They did a duet E.P. together called "the saint valentines day massacre" which included the hit "Please Don't Touch" you really need to check it out.
There are NO fans on this film set. Their badass-ness made their hair do that.
Don't shy away from some of their covers....Brilliant.
Their cover of Metalica's 'Whiplash' is better than the original!
In Louie Louie, you hear all the words.
So many great Motörhead albums in my collection, First choice , Overkill, 2nd Another perfect day , 3rd orgasmatron
Also check the song Ramones by Motörhead & also the band Disrupt with Wurzel from Motörhead
I think they appeared on The Young Ones .

Overkill, Bomber, Shine, plenty of great Motorhead tracks
seen Motörhead live a couple of time, it is relentless hard rock, I mean it is just great! ^
Look up Compressorhead’s version of The Ace of Spades…..someone loved this enough to go through a lot of cash and trouble to make a robot tribute band to Lemmy

Fastway, Fast Edies band is worth checking out too!
If you’re interested in very early punk/metal check out the MC5.
Gotta play it again, haha, correct response! Subbed :)
Best reaction ever. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha thank you bro. I had to play it twice it was so good 😀😂😂
@@L33Reacts I'm 48 and heard this all my life. Has to be a top five best ever heavy rock track. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Lemmy is awesome slamming it out with that Rickenbacker bass. Yeah play it again- love it! Also dig Motorhead's Civil War and Them Not Me. Wicked nasty rock.
Live, they were always an event.... You don't know what loud is unless you saw them 👍
Djs at 95ynf in Tampa would sometimes play this twice in a row.
My intro to this song was a performance on the British tv comedy series The Young Ones. Epic!!
"Runaround Man" is a nice one, if ya looking for other Motörhead songs
Great reaction, loved the fact you played it twice and the fact that you still love great hard rock music, despite your prog leanings. Nice one 👍
Lemmy! ♥ The "L" stands for "Legend" :)
seriously, you could get the best his and just listen to it all day
Lemmy is a God!!!!
Overkill - Official Video (live). Thank you and goodnight!
This was such a bop. I bought it on release. Love the energy. Feels a long, long time ago now.
44 years is a long time, my friend. And also not, at the same time. Strange. lol 😂
Phil "filthy animal" Taylor 😊 great drummer
Friend of mine was singing along with full conviction... The aids from space... 😂😂
And everibody has been touched by Motörhead indirectly. The amount of musicians stating they were a huge influence.. including Metallica..
Overkill... Overkill... Go
For some great Lemmy bass playing, Hawkwind - Lord of Light live Space Ritual version is a must.
Superb Rock anthem.
The Rockin Vicars, Sam Gopal, The Boz, Llandudno. Ah.....memories!
I was not expecting a mention of Sam Gopal anywhere at all, let alone here. Blimey!
@@thescrewfly Tis a strange...and wonderful....world!
Lemmy.. lead singer... look him up he is a massive Beatles fan
As a Drummer. You need to do Motörhead Overkill 😏
‘Motörhead’ (live, No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith) by Motörhead reaction next?
Just listen to their first live album ‘No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith’. Every song is killer. It gives you energy for days. I know there were a lot of great bands at the time, but when it comes to metal there was metal before No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith and there’s metal after No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith.

With Thin Lizzy’s Brian Robertson (or, as introduced by Lemmy, “the man with the fuckin’ haircut - he just cut his hair and painted it in all colours of the rainbow). 🧡😅
OVERKILL is the drummer goto for MOTORHEAD-popularized double kick drumming in rock music
Anything off the NO REMORSE album. Overkill, Steal Your Face, Like a Nightmare, Motorhead, Louie, Louie(yep) and Bomber, for a small selection.
' I don't want to live forever' and don't forget the Joker!
Perfect Rock n Roll.
A "Wake and Bake" Masterpiece
👏🎸🎵✌️😎
We Are Motorhead And We Play Rock and Roll
FUN! Vocals remind me of Killing Joke. Never heard MH before either. Will have to check out more.
Play it again. Solid support.
Fun fact... the band's name was 70s American slang for Speed freak. Lemmy liked his uppers 🤷♂️ also, booze.
Saw this lineup in the summer of 1980 outdoors in Minnesota. They finished their opening piece and Lemmy said "now for a love song." Then the opening riffs of this tune happened. Yep, pure love for this version of Motorhead! I will never forget that quote.
Lemmy got kicked out of Hawkwind, coz of his love of speed
Rock & Roll on 11 !
Overkill next, it's the law
It sounds like a mix of punk and metal
One band that both communities loved in the early 80s, Motörhead.
Motorhead & Ozzy: I Ain't No Nice Guy.
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Saw them at Manchester Apollo and they were as loud as usual… after, we all piled into pub up the road, so everyone is getting drinks, jukebox playing, ears buzzing. Then the jukebox suddenly switched off and for about 5 seconds there was a deadly silence as we all stared at each other in panic, thinking our eardrums had been destroyed! The relief when the jukebox came back on! 😂
"Ace of Spades" by Motörhead ... They came, they played .... they kicked its Ass.
First saw them August 1981 , Port Vale , so loud and so good 👍
I got into Motorhead after hearing Metallica's covers of Motorhead songs, although i always loved this song, which i first saw on The Young Ones.
I travelled over to Brussels to see them in 1982.. excellent gig 👍⚒️
Watch the Lemmy documentary movie. It's amazing.
The Motörhead concert with Ramones as closing act in May 1994 in Buenos Aires was the loudest concert i ever attended in my life,i was deaf 4 days after that. I really don't understand how they could play at that volume for 40 years and not go deaf. For more Motörhead i recommend you:
-Iron Fist
-I'm So Bad Baby(I Don't Care)
-Hellraiser
-Burner
-Liar
-Overnight Sensation
-Broken
-We Are Motörhead
-Killed By Death
-Overkill
-Going To Brazil
-No Class
-Bomber

“I am The One… ORGASMATRON” !!!!
Quite a THRILL RIDE, eh?
RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, They kept their amps set to 11, and you had to feel that wall of sound that hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer to experience that raw power
