Saw Motorhead in a club in New Jersey. It was called Club Benet and it was in Sayreville New Jersey. The ticket was like $17 but for $22 you would get a steak dinner and baked potato for dinner before the show. The venue was like some dinner theater. I have never seen so many bikers before in one place, it was like going to the rally in Sturgis. Place was so loud it was as if the paint was peeling off the walls. Had some really good Jamaican reefer and was drinking Coors Winterfest Brew. I was working for my cousin at the time in New York. I took the work van that we usually use for deliveries and went to the concert. I accidentally backed up into the receptionist car that works at my cousin's office and was not supposed to use the van. Because I had to work in the morning at the restaurant that was right next door to my cousin's office. I was allowed to take the van home on that Friday night. My cousin later found out that I took his van to the concert, without his permission and boy was he pissed off. Oh well, I went to the concert on Friday night, picked up the stuff I needed to open the restaurant on Saturday morning and my ears was still ringing the next day. Great times and memories. Still can't believe that Lemmy,Fast Eddie and Philty Animal have passed on. I'll never forget the time that I had to be a sneaky little shit, to see Motorhead play. It was well worth it but I should have had the steak dinner for another five bucks. 35 years later I'm kicking myself for not trying the steak dinner.Lol.
It was a hit in 1977. I still remember the day when I got the album which was announced by Lemmy in summer 1977 as something "what will kill the grass in your neighbors garden"!
I still remember the day when I got the album (in late 1977) which was announced by Lemmy in summer 1977 as something "what will kill the grass in your neighbors garden"! It surely did.

Hmmm....they aren't for me . Too "idiosyncratic" and far too bloody expensive. They're a niche instrument for a reason but if they do it for you then there is no substitute 🙂
Saw them in Bremen around this time. Just to say that no one in the audience there were sat at tables tapping their feet or eating bratwusts with a knife and fork! An odd crowd as most sensible German love Motörhead!
Will be blaring this on vinyl this Friday afternoon, flooded in for sure, but Motorhead needs to be cranked ~ "Only way to feel the noise/ is when it's good and loud!!!"
Dude.i weep for you. I first seen them in a club in Dallas called trees.there are two or three real trees in the middle of the joint.I had just turned on to the band and didn’t know what to expect . They opened with bomber and the crowd went to a mosh pit! It was like a party.
Gotta love 3 dudes off their face playing guitars that aren’t plugged in, with Lem blasting them with lyrics they probably can’t understand to an audience of shellshocked kids, sitting on their seats. All the band wants to do is get it done and get to the party lol.
@@highdownmartin it's a live recording, but playback, Phil's drum patterns don't fit at all, none of the stringed instruments is plugged in, drums not mic'ed, microphone doesn't make a noise or feed back when knocked over and Phil wrecks his kit, yet magically keeps playing while already walking off
And the punks were listening ; Discharge and GBH were next in the fastest/heaviest arms race and they in turn caught the ears of the then teenage members of Metallica, Anthrax and Slayer....
Seems to be from TV program Musikladen, 10. September 1981 (live at "Theater des Westens", Berlin). Yep, the audience. lol. But don't forget how new that was back then. From german wiki: "It was the first music show on German television in which an extreme metal band for the time, such as Motörhead, could appear in the fall of 1980 with the song Ace of Spades." And they even performed three times at "Musikladen" in 1981: 15. Januar 1981: Ace of Spades (again?) 30. April 1981: Motörhead & Girlschool -- Please Don’t Touch 10. September 1981: Motorhead
I never really got Rock Music until one night in the Denholme and District Motorcycle Club way back in time when the resident DJ for want of a better word played this!! Job done - Motorhead Fan for Life.
When someone asks you where did thrash metal or speed metal start this it it folks . ( couple years earlier of course when this song came out and the breakthrough Overkill album to be exact)
Shit i graduated from H.S. in 1981 didn't find out about Motorhead until 83-84?I surely would of loved it because the music was going to shit with everyone creaming in there pants over New Wave,and shit like Springsteen 🤢 Wasn't like today with You Tube and other outlets
Should have checked out the underground hardcore scene for your fix of fast and nasty . I was usually the only long hair at the local punk shows because most so called metal of the era was that transvestite crap .
неужто такой безбашенный рок-н-ролл не вернётся никогда ?!? почему сейчас рок играют прилизанные полупокеры ?? где драйв и задор брутальных хулиганов ?!
Nicht doch. Lemmy hat den Song geschrieben, als er noch bei Hawkwind spielte. Ich glaub das letzte Stück, das er da gemacht hat, bevor er ging. Die neue Band sollte wohl erst "Bastard" heißen, aber dann hat er sie nach dem Song benannt.

It looks like someone turned a discotheque into a restaurant and Motorhead decided to show up and sing a song about meth. I love it.
Not meth, speed in general! Lemmy used both, being European and all 😁
Golden members of Motorhead. All of them are in better worlds... RIP
"Hell ain't a bad place to be" 😉
they all will be whit us forever and ever
Classic. All the kids look in shock
Of course im shockrd, too. Lol
A couple of them are tapping their heels.
The Germans need waking up every now and again.
Old looking kids
The audience reaction is hilarious
Saw Motorhead about 50 times, my ears still ring to this day.

I saw them 3 times (80, 81 & 83) and my ears are still ringing too.
“let’s get a table right in front so we can hear it” 😮
LOL
& so I can see the 🔥drummer!
How the hell were they able to be that close and just sit there calmly 😂
Motorhead is one of the greatest things to ever exist on this planet 🤘
I could not agree more! We were blessed that we live in the times of Motörhead 😭
Yeah the world would be so much better with Lemmy & without Putin
RIP LEMMY EDDIE PHIL...
CAN'T BELIEVE THEY HAVE GONE........
we are MOTORHEAD and
We play rock n roll....
FTW..
The only real biker band.
Kelly Johnson died too so sad
@@petershock3606 my favorite female guitarist.
That audience looked ready for a cucumber sandwich....until Lemy put them into shock...probably the best Mororhead clip.
Perhaps they were expecting Kraftwerke! 🤔
What a hit it was in 1981! Respect!
It was a hit in 1977. I still remember the day when I got the album which was announced by Lemmy in summer 1977 as something "what will kill the grass in your neighbors garden"!
16 years old and I ended up working with these nutters.. never been the same since… Thank God.

The best of Motörhead , 1981 ab da waren die Jungs die Nr.1
Wahnsinn
They got shittier towards their end.
I still remember the day when I got the album (in late 1977) which was announced by Lemmy in summer 1977 as something "what will kill the grass in your neighbors garden"! It surely did.
They played Rock'n Roll but sounded like Thrash Metal! They pionneered a genre without knowing it, Motörheadache förever!
Sunrise, wrong side of another day
Sky high and six thousand miles away
Don't know how long I've been awake
Wound up in an amazing state
Can't get enough
And you know it's righteous stuff
Goes up like prices at Christmas
Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright
Brain dead, total amnesia
Get some mental anasthesia
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
And if I can't be wrong I could be right
All good clean fun
Have another stick of gum
Man, you look better already
Motorhead
Remember me now Motorhead. alright
Fourth day, five day marathon
We're moving like a parallelogram
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights
I guess I'll see you all on the ice
I should be tired
And all I am is wired
Ain't felt this good for an hour
Motorhead
Remember me now Motorhead alright
" We are Motorhead and We are Rock and Roll!!! " 🎸
That nasty, thick bass sound we all love🤘🏻🤘🏻
WE ALL LOVE brother, exactly!
I appreciate that Lemmy leaned that Rickenbacker carefully against the amplifier before destroying the mic stand.
Haha I noticed that too
Ricks are well known for fragility ; you want a bass that can be dropped or used as a weapon then you need a Precision 😃
@@jimmytgoose476 Oh, no doubt. But worth the extra care required. I think.
Hmmm....they aren't for me . Too "idiosyncratic" and far too bloody expensive. They're a niche instrument for a reason but if they do it for you then there is no substitute 🙂
@@jimmytgoose476 i cant believe they trashed the very rare, red acrylic Sonor drumset…$$$$$
Saw them in Bremen around this time. Just to say that no one in the audience there were sat at tables tapping their feet or eating bratwusts with a knife and fork! An odd crowd as most sensible German love Motörhead!
Instead they were eating bratwurst with their fucking hands, like a real metal head! But, in all seriousness, I bet that was one hell of a show!

Imagine being there...forced to sit quietly at your little coffee table.
You must stand and bounce around while watching Motorhead. It's the law.
Fucking timeless 100$ people would lose their shit if this was played today live
We are Motörhead - We play Rock `n` Roll
"Would you like to see the wine list...I SAID, WOULD YOU LIKE TO SEE THE WINE LIST ?"
The almighty broke the mold after this band! Road warriors of hard rocking hard living freedom.thanks Lem.

The First Real Heavy Rock Band. the one and only MOTORHEAD
They are not here anymore. I just head to shed some tears.
Mantap persembahannya....👍🏻🤘🏻💥
Clean honest sonic onslaught😎
Those germans know how to have fun!!!!! Hahaha
Because it's not a Motörhead audience. Do you see any leather jackets, jeans wests, patches, bullet belts? Lemmy would laugh at your stupidity.
Flipping awesome 😂
ARD, Musikladen, Radio Bremen, to promote No Sleep till Hammersmith, one month later or so, they played. the golden summernights festivals 1981
🤘🏻❤️
Rock and Roll!
