It's also because he sings with his chin up. He sung like that as a reaction to all the crap thrown at him & fights that would break out during the early years playing at dive bars.
Must be more to it I lived on JD and Marlboros half my life. I encourage all young people to do the same. You can't talk them out of it. Then I tell them to look what it did for me. That gets their attention a little.
Lemmy was the ultimate manifestation of rock and roll. He didn't care about money, he never changed his music to fit the times. He never played nice when he didn't feel it, but was always up for a chat with a fan.
Lemmy was the realest of the real that ever lived. He never lived a single day where he wasn't Lemmy; the coolest, most bad-ass rock and roll cowboy of all time. Lemmy lived on Jack Daniels and speed his entire life. Nobody ever out-drank Lemmy, although every rocker who thought himself a bad-ass tried. But Lemmy also NEVER lost control. He kept his calm and his cool, and was able to function perfectly while imbibing monumental quantities of amphetamines and alcohol. He never touched heroin, though. He had a girlfriend who OD-ed on that shit back in the 60's. In his most vulnerable moments he would admit that she was the love of his life.
@@kentonromero2791 Yes. He was a brilliant lyricist as well. As legendary UK radio Dj Tommy Vance said, Lemmy was a fine writer in the true British sense of the term.
Why is his voice like that? A quart (or six) of bourbon a day, and a carton of Marlboros every couple days, and you too can have a voice like an out of control gravel truck... Edit- Lemmy doesn’t play guitar, Coach, he plays bass.
Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister was one of the realest, most down-to-earth, and honest dudes in the Rock 'n' Roll universe. We miss you Lemmy! Born to Lose, Lived to Win. Killed by Death. \m/
Anyone could walk up to him in a bar and he would have a drink and a talk with you like you was friends. Real legend. Plus his ticket prices didn't go up in 30 years as he believed everyone should be able to offord to watch thier band play
@@andyb1653 Lemmy was awesome. I went to see him one time and the show was delayed for three and a half hours. Motorhead played their full set, (about 90 minutes) then Lemmy said " we're gonna take a short break, and then we're come back and thank you for waiting around in the fucking cold" (it was snowing that night) They took a twenty minute "working break" during which they sold and signed merchandise. They retook the stage and played ANOTHER full set. The fans were always number one with him. That's why he's a legend. Sincerely, MHB # 1204
Aleksa Pavlović He made the comment during Eddie’s guitar solo, that’s why I made my comment. I’m not sure how that constitutes as not giving Shaq a chance, but ok.
You want to hear a bassist playing like a lead guitarist, check out Cliff Burton. He was the bassist for Metallica for the first three albums. Has a bass solo on the first one. He was totally insane, like Hendrix on bass.
@Cristian Roth he was originally a guitarist, but on his first gig with Hawkwind(his first band), the bassist wasn't there but the bass was. That's where he got his thing going on. He got kicked out for speed, then he made a band named from one of Hawkwind's song titled Motorhead(a term for speed addicts)
@@Cheeseboiga Hawkwind wasn't his first band, he played guitar in another band before he joined Hawkwind. And he actually didn't name Motorhead, either. He wanted to call it Bastard, but their manager renamed them Motorhead. Lemmy really didn't like the name and was pissed that it had to be changed, but it stuck.
There was a brilliant documentary about Lemmy in which he said something like there were days when he didn’t feel like performing but he had it easy compared to plumbers up to their ankles in sewage. He knew that even on bad days he’d got it good. And he kept everything that fans sent him.
@@alexbrownstone4939 That's a great shout!! Either that or kick it old school again and get him to listen to some Black Sabbath or ozzy on his own with Crazy Train
Fun fact, in 1984, they played a show at The Variety Theater in Cleveland, OH, and has been dubbed one of their most infamous shows. The show was so loud, recorded at over 130db, that they were causing structural damage and plaster to rain down that 15 minutes into the show they had to pull the plug to prevent further damage and injuries.
"Who would win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God? ...Trick question, Lemmy is God." Haha. Shaq check out the movie Airheads with Adam Sandler, Brendan Fraser and Steve Buscemi...
Shaq I love when you start bopping to old rock. You just feel the music like you should. It makes me feel like its the 90s again and the world is rockin and life is good. If i had a time machine id take you back so you could feel music during its era. Imagine how rock from 60s-90s felt at the time. When it was new and no one had heard anything like it. Props for showing love to music history.
Lemmy, a lost treasure! He wrote songs for Ozzy & they were very close friends. His death really hurt & affected Oz. Rest In Peace Lemmy K!! We continue to love & appreciate him through his beautiful music!! 🎶♥️🎸
As someone who loves both metal and hip hop, I appreciate you checking out this music a lot! It's nice to see people who are open to all kinds of music.
Hey Shaq just started to watch you on YT and I gotta say your videos put a smile on my face. I'm happy you found something that you love and its helping others put a smile on them as well. I really had one when I was watching your reaction to Van Halen's Eruption Live. Keep doing what you do.
Lemmy once vacationed in the Virgin Islands. Now, they're just the islands.
I've just finished work, it's nearly 4am in the morning and this comment got me laughing so hard my neighbours will probably be bitching tomorrow 🤣🤣🤣
Nice turn on the chuck norris joke

Glad someone caught that. More appropriately tagged to lemmy, however.
I was going to like your comment, but it seemed more appropriate to leave it at 69 likes.
He is a part of glorious Biomass now....moto fertiliser. ...
His voice sounds like that because he's consumed nothing but cigarettes and whiskey since he was 9.
Mark Kappe look up kmoorwthegoat

thats propably the truth....
It's also because he sings with his chin up. He sung like that as a reaction to all the crap thrown at him & fights that would break out during the early years playing at dive bars.
well actually it was from birth
Lemmy credited his singing voice to Jack Daniels and Marlboro. 😀
Balls...... Speedballs.....

Didn't he drink a bottle a day and smoke 2 packs a day since he was 11? And then still lived into his 70s; that's badass.

Brother you could sing this song you have exactly the same tone this is one of the greatest Rock songs in history :-)
David Mohr ....hahaha that’s what I was thinking
TRUTH
I was thinking the same thing would love to hear that version
Makes me think of the movie "Airheads" - "Who wins in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God? TRICK QUESTION! Lemmy IS God!"
Lemmy in the damn movie confessing that he was the editor of the school magazine lol
@@CenlaSelfDefenseConcepts I was wondering if anyone noticed that. Lol
REALLY SHAQ..YOU GONNA DO THIS WHEN IM TRYING TO GET TO SLEEEEP???
Facts
No bullshit
Just happens bro get on the level
Ok ok ok.. you new Motorhead fan... how about I am the Sword from their Bastards album?
No sleep till Hammersmith
That’s not Lemmy playing lead guitar, that’s fast Eddie Clark. Lemmy is playing bass guitar.
Truth
He never said lead, he just said guitar. Tbh you could be right but let's give Shaq a chance here.
Aleksa Pavlović He made the comment during Eddie’s guitar solo, that’s why I made my comment. I’m not sure how that constitutes as not giving Shaq a chance, but ok.
Lemmy played lead bass
@Tentacle Erotica you win the internet.
RIP Lemmy, you are a metal legend
And GEAUX TIGERS!!!
Geaux Tigers Hopefully they’ll be inducted in the R&R HOF next year 🤞🏻
For sure x(
@William Bennett RROHF is a joke
Lemmy is not dead!
Coach n.1 rule in metal: YOU DON’T PAUSE IN THE MIDDLE OF A GUITAR SOLO. 😪
Truth!!! It literally triggered me a bit 🤘
Right, but that's what makes it so good sometimes. Check his freebird reaction iffen ya ain't yet.
Hold up!
Sultans of swing by Dire Straits. Singer is the lead guitarist and slays
or telegraph road
Live alchemy version tho
The only reason I’m not liking this comment is cuz it’s at 69 likes and I don’t wanna ruin it

Not really.
More like a rhythm guitar

My guy triple H comes to mind every time I hear Motörhead ! You should of did his entrance , spit water in the air and all !
yep same
Agreed 💯
#itstimetoplaythegame
I was at the Wrestlemania when Motörhead was there live to play HHH’s entrance music live. It was BADASS
Or simply have shaq react to the song "The Game" or "The King of Kings"
Lemmy- Bass/vocals
Fast Eddie- guitar
"Philthy Animal" Taylor- drums
R.I.P. Motorhead.
Me: *sees title*
Shaq: "Now this my first time checking out Motörhead."
Me: "Oh shit! Here we go! This is gonna be good!"
The songs were short, to get back to the women and booze backstage...
Hahahahwh
Don’t forget the Blow
Overkill wasn't that short
It's the rock way when some of your roots are in punk music. Short songs can fill an hour and half setlist real nice! R.i.p. lemmy
Didn't Lemmy get a bj on stage once?
Never clicked so fast. One of my FAVORITE metal songs of all time
Also it’s a bass the lead singer plays.
In an interview a long time ago... Lemmy said "We're the type of people that if we moved in next to you...your grass would die"
React to Overkill by Motörhead, you’ll see why it’s called that when you listen to it
3 insane guitar solos and pauses perfect do when driving home tired to wake you up.
Yes!!!
overkill should be called fuckin relentless
he should do this live version: ua-cam.com/video/EDB0dUWZUK8/v-deo.html Its like 10 times more insane than the studio recording
Yea Shaq would love it
"Lemmy why you tryin to outdo my hair?" - Everybody since 1979
Shaq - Lemmy was Jimi Hendrix's roadie before he left to start his own band.
He was in several bands before becoming Jimi Hendrix's roadie and then joined Hawkwind before forming Motorhead
Wrote and played Hawkwinds only number 1 Silver Machine
Shaq react to Pantera Slaghtered.
Trust me.
FUCK YEAH
David Soundfelly he might not be ready for that. Lol
@@BroncosGunner 😂
Or regular people
Thanks to the number of likes on this comment, "Slaughtered" might finally happen. I hope.
Lemmy started out as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix.
And next thing you know, the lunatic's running the asylum :)
Learn something new everyday, that's awesome👊🖕🤘🏻😜
He started playing guitar in the rocking vickers in 1966
There was a brilliant documentary about Lemmy in which he said something like there were days when he didn’t feel like performing but he had it easy compared to plumbers up to their ankles in sewage. He knew that even on bad days he’d got it good. And he kept everything that fans sent him.
Lemmy was once asked if smoking would damage his voice and his response was literally "Have you fucking heard my voice?".
How is this comment not more appreciated
HUGE Motorhead fan here. Love your energy, and your insights about the meaning. So cool to see Motorhead reactions.
Shaq lowkey sounds like him when hes singing "ace of spades" 😂
He does! LMAO
Lol I said the same
Maybe shaq is lemmy long lost son
For real lol
Years and years of partying is why lemmy sounds like that 🤘🏻
Indeed
Remember when he tried to get "healthy" and doctors realized that might actually kill him? Baaaha
@@CrashW because he was too reliant on substances?
@@Bendanna93 basically his body had totally acclimated to the booze and smoking etc. That it would have put him into shock to change his habits.
@@CrashW that makes sense. Pretty crazy.
The song is short, like life.
A lot of Motorhead song are short.
The light that shines twice as bright lasts half as long.
Lemmy once said "I don't know why do people like Overkill, it's too long"
Seeing him live was amazing. Took my back to my tony hawk pro skater days. Rip to this man.
RIP Lemmy.
There's been none like you, and damned if we'll see your like again.
I use to kick ass on tony hawk when this song comes on lol
Time for Iron Maiden’s Aces High...an all time metal anthem!!
Yessssss
favorite track man!
Hard to believe that lineup is gone now
saw them live in Plymouth, England, was the loudest noise I ever heard, superb band!
If Lemmy wrestled God who would win?
It's a trick question. Lemmy is God
Lemmy would be hittin 5 pointers on god, one after the other
That's lemmy with his unique voice. Rumor has it that was his baby voice as well.. RIP 🤘
Any time you react to Motorhead, AC/DC, Judas Priest or Ozzy, that's an auto like from me coach!

One of the first guys to really do the machine gun double bass
The intro is why i got into metal music. lemmy jumping on that mic with those lyrics is the best intro ever for myself to any song.
Shaq, I love your open-mindedness and enthusiasm. You remind old metalheads like me why this music turned us on in the first place thirty years ago.
His voice is like that jack Daniels and smoking they are the godfathers of metals

“The Chase is Better than the Catch”
I love how much you enjoy yourself on these reactions!! Mad respect!✌🤘
I love these guys, saw them twice in the early 80's at the Hammersmith Odeon when this was released. Front row leaning over the stage. Happy days
Lemmy plays bass. The guitarist in the band is Eddie "Fast Eddie" Clarke, and the drummer is Phil "Filthy Animal" Taylor.
Tim Hutchinson drummer kicks ass!
Rip everyone in this video. Lemmy's bass sound is unique, cross between a bass and rhythm guitar style almost.
