I love how Lemmy was absolutely sick of playing "Ace of Spades" but always played it and always gave it his all because that's what the audience wants.
He was never sick of that song, who said that? In fact it was always a closer because of it’s ease for him to play. I had the honor of meeting him at The Rainbow Room way back when. Autographed an ‘Ace of Spades’ poker card for me.
Maybe he was, but i dont think so cause he played what he wanted to play, even if it weren't the fav songs of most motorhead fans, and like even in this song like he did allot later in life/career, alltering the text. But yeah funny thing even for a die hard motorhead fan like me, ace of spades was not by far my fav song from them
Neil Fallon from Clutch told a story from a tour with Motörhead. Lemmy asked him why they weren’t playing Regulator and Neil told him they were sick of playing it. Lemmy told him it doesn’t matter how tired of it you are, there are fans that want to hear it because it’s many of their’s favorite song.
Lemmy was never sick of playing Ace Of Spades but Brian Robertson was (as well as other classics) which made Lemmy remind him "you play them, those songs pay the wages".
I think every band is somewhat sick of playing their biggest hits after a while. Take a chef for example once you went michelin star levels, you're not too excited about peeling potatoes anymore. They probably had songs closer to their heart, something they were especially proud of but had to play the same song for decades over and over again. But it's those well known songs that made them famous in the first place, so an artist is SOL there
That’s coz with 2 guitarists, you half to half the sound, then lower the bass to compensate for the low end from each guitar, then raise the drums volume so they can be heard at an even level to everything else. 1 guitar + 1 bass + 1 drums + 1 singer is the best design for a band, but doesn’t always work for specific genres. Keep in mind how great slipknot are with the seemingly ‘bad’ setup, but then how great bands like nirvana are, with the minimalistic design. Also, Motörhead had their amps turned to 11, which also helps.
I wondered the same thing, then I started playing guitar I realised what Lemmy was doing. He played the bass the same as a rhythm guitar, and with a lot of distortion. Most of the rhythm stuff I thought Eddie was doing, was Lemmy.
Never forget the moment when I was 15 in 1980 when my dad burst into my bedroom with a look of fright and anger on his face while I was cranking this song on my 8-D-Cell boombox, screaming "what the hell is this shit?!?!" An experience shared by countless others of my generation. RIP Lemmy!
Man my Dad R.I.P would stomp on the floor and yell Turn that God-damned shit off it's like three in the morning lol I'm like 16 In 1980 good Ole daze stoned 😝🤘
1984 I was 14 had ST I saw your mommy blasting in comes dad and he throws the turn table at the window but the window was closed. It took him about 5 times to get it out the window
I was thinking exactly the same thing! Very, very few bands can pull that off when they desperately need a rhythm guitar but are too cheap to add one on tour. They add a rhythm track on their recordings, but never add a rhythm guitar player in concert. So the whole sound seems shallow, especially when the inevitable guitar solo comes up... Motley Crue comes to mind immediately; they just turn up the amps and hope the wall of sound drowns the lack of a rhythm guitar line: you can barely hear Nikki Sixx's bass....Or Ozzy, who just has his guitarists go to that God awful pinched harmonic sound to add an extra note of noise where the rhythm line should be....But Lemmy...man he could play that bass! Reminds me of the late, great Felix Pappalardi, the original bass player for Mountain. Listen to Missisippi Queen live....its Pappalardi's fuzz bass that drives the whole sound-you'd never know they didn't have a rhythm guitar player!
@@djm4457 Well said. There’s nothing worse than when the bottom falls out of three-piece band’s rhythm section during a solo because the bassist’s tone isn’t meaty enough to fill in the sound.
That's as may be, but give it 30 years of that and you'll have a neck and upper back as fucked up as mine. Headbanging wrecked my shit, but I wouldn't change any of it 🤘
Lemmy was the epitome of a rocker. Lived in a small apartment a hop-skip away from his favorite bar, and his prized possession was a Billy Bass. He had a net worth of merely $1M at the time of his death. He didn't live in the lap of luxury. He was FAR from extravagant. He lived a relatively simple life, and did what he loved......drugs, women, and music.
to be fair i would also prefer a live like lemmy and die with 1M net worth instead of an boring life and 1B as net worth. What do you have from the money if you dead ?
@@Grandizer8989 He got a lot of hate for that but I don't why. Like people thought he was a nazi for some reason even though it was clear he was the complete opposite of a nazi and he was just collecting that stuff cause its fucking interesting seeing stuff like that.
R.I.P. LEMMY KILMISTER, PHIL PHILTHY ANIMAL TAYLOR AND FAST EDDIE CLARK, THE LEGENDS WILL LIVE ON FOREVER, SO THANK YOU GUYS FOR BEING BADASSES FOR ALMOST 50 YEARS WORTH OF MOTÖRHEAD!!!!!
@@rabfallon4507 Thanks... I got into Motörhead 1979 I knew of Larry and Lucas only from listening to On Parole only a short while ago Yes you are right..they were past members and deserve recognition too..👍
These popular American late night shows suck these days... I am from Germany and I ve never seen something more inauthentic that this shit... well the Americans also like this wrestling sport
I saw Alice Cooper back in the 80’s and Motörhead was supposed to open. They announced that they had trouble getting Visas and would not be performing. Emptied out half the venue.
So blessed to have a Dad who played guitar although I feel bad for throwing his pick inside of it.... (It's a pain to shake and pull it out!) Glad he didn't do that with my Mama! Never forget that we are all Children of God. Playing chords on bass is a move many do not make but I am not like them.... I will stand alone. With no pick and blisters Short nails on a B.
Worked at a Club in Long Beach CA. Called Fenders Grand Ballroom...Motor Head (opening acts: St. Vitus, Crow Mags) played there...They Had Amps and Speakers .. that covered both sides of the stage end to end had to squeeze by them .. on one end .. to get into the restroom...It was the Loudest thing I ever herd..across the street .. was a Holiday Inn .. they had noise complaints .. as well as houses and other businesses three blocks around...Awesome memories!!!!
I had to privilege of seeing Motorhead play live and i can promise you it was loud enough that my beer was vibrating on the bar and three days later my ears we're still ringing. Great times
i envy you. im 16 and it still feels like im the only guy in my whole generation who listens to motorhead and likes speed metal generally. fuck the mumble rap bullshit
I saw Motorhead live only once but damn, that was a killer show - one of those concerts where I was actually intimidated and a bit scared to mosh because there were nothing but bikers in the pit.
My first concert was Alice Cooper with Motorhead opening in 1987 at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto. It was in February in the middle of a snow storm but we were not deterred. Great show.
Saw at an open air middle of fucking nowhere in Spain in summer. The stage acted as a receiver and a local radio station started coming through the speakers. Lemmy just turned the sound up. It was nasty.
I saw them three times, once in the Aftershock tour and twice in the 40th anniversary tour. My mom hates metal and I remember she walked in with headphones and had some pop she was listening to, while I was just rocking out. I was only about 8 at the time so she didn't let me go into the mosh pit, but it was still great. Then after Lemmy died some friends and I watched the funeral service on RUclips. Great memories 🤘
I saw them live in 1991 and had a similar experience. Everyone was patted down on entry for weapons with not even belts being allowed, which was very out of the ordinary for Australia at the time.
Tonight Show stagehand: Can I get you a pre-show drink for your singing voice? Tea with honey, maybe? Lemmy: Nope-make it a whiskey with Ajax and broken glass.
Lemmy WAS A ROCK ICON.PERIOD. He was an excellent bassist, if one delves further than motorhead he was bassist for Hawkwind. That unique sound coupled with excellent drumming from Simon King gave them heavier and superb music. Just listen to tracks like orgone accumulator or lost johnny to appreciate Lemmy's bass playing.
I saw motorhead around 2005. I was sitting top right of the stage looking down on the band. during a drum solo Lemmy walked off stage but I could still see him standing behind some speaker cabinets because of where I was sitting. no word of a lie the man cracked a bottle of jack and drank the entire bottle within 5 minutes while casually chatting to a roadie. then proceeded to walk back on stage and hit his cue perfectly and deliver an awesome show. RIP legend of legends
Motorhead vastly lived up to their reputation. They have literally been one of the loudest metal bands I have ever heard in my life. It was an unforgettable experience!
He was born just up the road from where i was born in Stoke on trent England, was a member of a band called Hawkwind in 1971 from Ladbroke Grove , London who now have a connection with Devon as Brock from Hawkwind has a farm there ...
It was about this time you can really see Lemmys struggles with his lungs. I had the pleasure of seeing in concert six months before he died. No one knew he was dying but Lemmy and his doctor until the last few days. RIP Lemmy.
Not quite entirely true. In August 2015, I talked to Nazi Scott and he told me that Lemmy had some major health issues going on wasn't doing well. What Lemmy was told in the last days is that it was terminal and nothing left could be done. Nazi Scott knew him very personally. He basically was Lemmy's gofer when he was at home in West Hollywood. Scott's a legend in his own right. Dude had his snakes in the seventies show for Alice Cooper and we always snuck at least one or two boas into the Rainbow for shock value. The owner, Mario Maglieri, was rather tolerant of Scott's hobby as long as there was no complaints, and in the Rainbow, you rarely saw anyone complain. It was all part of the vibe.
An old work colleague of mine once met Lemmy in his favorite bar in Hollywood. He introduced himself, and Lemmy asked where he was from? Five days later, he walked into the same bar with his wife, and Lemmy yelled out "Hey Chris from Tprpmtp Camada" Chris was shocked he even remembered him, as Lemmy must have met a thousand people over the last five days.
An apt description on Phil Campbells guitar strap. I've been involved in the music business for quite a few years and I've hardly heard anyone who's had a good word to say about him.
I use to hang out with my Best Rocker Friend, Scotty at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip on many a night there. His Best Friend was Lemme. We would hold down the end of the Outside Patio Bar . Next to a Computer Game , that Lemme would play all night. Then, Lemme's Black Girlfriend would show up . We both would sneak to the Upstairs Bar and dance. Many times to " Ace of Spades". Lemme's song. and some Funky stuff. If you ever go to the Outside Patio Bar at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. It's called the Lemme Lounge. And there's a Lifesize statue of Lemme. And pictures , too. You can play the same Computer Game, that Lemme played , too. And if you go to the Upstairs Bar. The DJs will play a few of his songs .
I played in a hard rock band in London,We were popular enough that we got to play the London Marquee quite regularly,Often I’d see Lemme there,He’d play the Pinball machine in the foyer all night,He told me that he loved any kind of arcade games,Great guy and a Kick Ass Rocker till his last breath….RIP Lemme
A guy I know, his company does all the plumbing for the Rainbow room. He had the same story of Lemmy hanging out in the back playing hours of video poker. Apparently he had to get to the water heater which was behind the video poker machine. One time he asked Lemmy to move and everyone lost their mind like,”don’t talk to Lemmy.” But Lemmy was totally cool about it and they became friendly with each other. He and Lemmy ended up decent enough friends that he went to Lemmy’s place a few times. He said Lemmy had a dirt cheap apartment in the area and always bragged about how cheap it was. Apparently he was the absolute coolest guy.
@@TimBuktu666 , I have known Scotty since 1994. He always came to a club in Huntington Beach that had a Rock Night on Sundays with Large snakes. He ( Scotty ) claims he ride Lemme to this Club in Huntington Beach from West Hollywood. I bet that was wild. Anyway, Scotty was my " coolest " Rock n Roll Friend.
@rasmusisaksson7838 ... there's only one drummer for me and that's Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor who died only a month before Lemmy , plus of course Fast Eddie died I believe 4 years earlier, but yes the Swede as you say was with them for over 20 years till Lemmy died really ...🙏
The first gig for me ever was in the early 80s as a 14-years-old No Sleep ''til Hammersmith tour gig in Helsinki, Finland. The concert started with Ace Of Spades and it was like a riot started right away. People begin to try to get into a better stand and the security guys were pulling those out from their hair. Never heard anything as loud again. So it was quite a shock for 14 years old I never forget :). I started from the top and the loudest! R.I.P Motörhead
Television doesn’t deserve legendary performances like this one. Big media is what forced these guys to push so hard to make their own spotlight. Fallon sure as hell didn’t deserve to share a stage with men with balls as big as Motörhead.
Best 3 min in the history of Fallon
Only good . Fixed.
That's what his wife said
Really
Saw them once in Montreal....just a wall of distortion.....Zero fun live but great on record

Lemmy smashes that bass so hard that it almost sounds like there's a rhythm guitar when Phil takes a solo
That's what he's doing. Lemmy played guitar. Just did it on a bass.
I didn’t see any smashing at all. He was mildly strumming bass chords through a distorted amp.

What Lemmy was told in the last days is that it was terminal and nothing left could be done. Nazi Scott knew him very personally. He basically was Lemmy's gofer when he was at home in West Hollywood. Scott's a legend in his own right. Dude had his snakes in the seventies show for Alice Cooper and we always snuck at least one or two boas into the Rainbow for shock value. The owner, Mario Maglieri, was rather tolerant of Scott's hobby as long as there was no complaints, and in the Rainbow, you rarely saw anyone complain. It was all part of the vibe.
Best Rock Band in the world, we miss you Lem, the Rock is sad since december 2015.
Pure unadulterated greatness RIP Lemmy!!!
"I don't want to live forever... that's right baby... but apparently I am!" haha classic.
Sadly, he was mistaken
@@andyborehol thankfully he got what he wanted
The "welsh wanker" campbell is an awesome guitarist🤘
Одна из самых лучших банд в истории рок-музыки!Лэмми,покойся с миром!

Аминь, брат.
MOTORHEAD!! Built for speed..legends!! 🤘👏❤
the holy trinity of
Lemmy, Clarke, Taylor,
made the holy trinity of
Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades
Thank God i was lucky enough to see them live at least 5 times .. Rip Lemmy we are missing you ...
When I'm late for work this goes in the cd player. Amazingly I manage to get there on time ☺️ ..What a fucking song.
Lemmy, you'll remain forever in my heart.. 💖
Worked with them many times, truly great people.
Motorhead is eternal
Love the headbangers in the background !!
An old work colleague of mine once met Lemmy in his favorite bar in Hollywood. He introduced himself, and Lemmy asked where he was from? Five days later, he walked into the same bar with his wife, and Lemmy yelled out "Hey Chris from Tprpmtp Camada" Chris was shocked he even remembered him, as Lemmy must have met a thousand people over the last five days.
An apt description on Phil Campbells guitar strap. I've been involved in the music business for quite a few years and I've hardly heard anyone who's had a good word to say about him.
The way Lemme played that bass gets me every time, he was cool AF. RIP Moterhead, thanks for the music.
Super ambiance 😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆😆
I use to hang out with my Best Rocker Friend, Scotty at the Rainbow Bar and Grill on the Sunset Strip on many a night there.
His Best Friend was Lemme. We would hold down the end of the Outside Patio Bar . Next to a Computer Game , that Lemme would play all night.
Then, Lemme's Black Girlfriend would show up . We both would sneak to the Upstairs Bar and dance. Many times to " Ace of Spades". Lemme's song. and some Funky stuff.
If you ever go to the Outside Patio Bar at the Rainbow Bar and Grill. It's called the Lemme Lounge. And there's a Lifesize statue of Lemme. And pictures , too.
You can play the same Computer Game, that Lemme played , too. And if you go to the Upstairs Bar. The DJs will play a few of his songs .
I played in a hard rock band in London,We were popular enough that we got to play the London Marquee quite regularly,Often I’d see Lemme there,He’d play the Pinball machine in the foyer all night,He told me that he loved any kind of arcade games,Great guy and a Kick Ass Rocker till his last breath….RIP Lemme
A guy I know, his company does all the plumbing for the Rainbow room. He had the same story of Lemmy hanging out in the back playing hours of video poker. Apparently he had to get to the water heater which was behind the video poker machine. One time he asked Lemmy to move and everyone lost their mind like,”don’t talk to Lemmy.” But Lemmy was totally cool about it and they became friendly with each other. He and Lemmy ended up decent enough friends that he went to Lemmy’s place a few times. He said Lemmy had a dirt cheap apartment in the area and always bragged about how cheap it was. Apparently he was the absolute coolest guy.
@@TimBuktu666 , I have known Scotty since 1994. He always came to a club in Huntington Beach that had a Rock Night on Sundays with Large snakes.
He ( Scotty ) claims he ride Lemme to this Club in Huntington Beach from West Hollywood. I bet that was wild.
Anyway, Scotty was my " coolest " Rock n Roll Friend.
What was the game's name?
Recently became a huge fan of Motorhead. What a talent Lemmy was. R.I.P. Also, proud to have a Swede behind the drum set.
Philip John Taylor wasn't a Swede, he was born in Derbyshire England
@@glastonbury4304 I was thinking about Mikkey Dee between 1992 and 2015. Mikkey is now the drummer in Scorpions.
@rasmusisaksson7838 ...
there's only one drummer for me and that's Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor who died only a month before Lemmy , plus of course Fast Eddie died I believe 4 years earlier, but yes the Swede as you say was with them for over 20 years till Lemmy died really ...🙏
This is the only fallon I’ve watched in my life and I’m not even a metal head ,
Says a lot about this legendary band
"That's the way I like it, baby, I ain't gonna live forever... but apparently I am!"
G.O.A.T.
3 masters of heavy metal.
No heavy and no metal here, just rock n' roll
HEY 🥰 WHICH ONE IS LENNIE
Win some, lose some. All the same to me. How badass is that! RIP, GOAT.
I miss ya Lemmy. RIP sir.
The first gig for me ever was in the early 80s as a 14-years-old No Sleep ''til Hammersmith tour gig in Helsinki, Finland. The concert started with Ace Of Spades and it was like a riot started right away. People begin to try to get into a better stand and the security guys were pulling those out from their hair. Never heard anything as loud again. So it was quite a shock for 14 years old I never forget :). I started from the top and the loudest! R.I.P Motörhead
This and Slayer are the best musical acts he’s ever had on.
Love Lemmy. Big up the insane drum performance in this 😂This song is my gym zenith track.
David Letterman had Motorhead on his show and it was great. The whole show Dave kept talking about Motorhead and cracking jokes.
Seen Head twice in the '80s. So blessed.
Want to know the irony?
Fallon is a bigger alcoholic than Lemmy.
Didnt knew that
how.
Staying hammered is only way Fallon can stand himself.
The difference is that Fallon is way more miserable
@@AportesKike and significantly less talented. Seriously, Lemmy would be a better Late Night Talk host.
Motorhead
The Young Ones!!
Rest In Peace lemmy !! Such a badass
I had the pleasure of seeing this done live, middle 80s in Detroit.. harpos.
At least the guys on the right top know how to f*cking headbang when Motörhead is playing🤘🤘🤘
We miss him......he was the best f..... rockendroller ever!!
After Motorhead, the paint in the studio was peeling off the walls! RIP Lemmy!
♠🤘👊🏼best rock band ever ! R.I.P. Lemmy
Television doesn’t deserve legendary performances like this one. Big media is what forced these guys to push so hard to make their own spotlight. Fallon sure as hell didn’t deserve to share a stage with men with balls as big as Motörhead.
But he’s the only one who put them on Late Night
Also on Conan O'Brian.
@@Grandizer8989 not true.
Ahhh jueveos grandes you like no?
Saw them at Liverpool Empire 1981...my ears had a constant hum in them for days afterwards
The headbangers over Lemmy’s left shoulder
“Excuse me is Drake here?”
“Thank you”
I like that they had to do this in rehearsal also
We are Motörhead and we play rock and roll!!!
