Fuck yeah ! I was 16yo in 1980, grew up listening Bon Scott & AC/DC, Motörhead, Hawkwind, Black Sabbath, Bowie, CCR, Deep Purple, Alice Cooper, Springsteen, Neil Young...etc...etc... What a pity when I see youngsters nowadays, listening shitty music by so called "singers" who couldn't carry a song without Autotune.
I'm not gonna lie: I am tearing-up right now. Lemmy left this world on 12/28/2015; David Bowie followed him out the door less than 2 weeks later, on 01/10/2016. 2 legends. Both resting in peace.
This song was played at my dads funeral and I couldn’t have thought of a better song to honour his memory. Lemmy was an idol for my dad and my dad is my idol. May they be having a drink together wherever they are. update: Thank you for all the lovely replies, they do put a smile on my face. Thank You
I lost my father too, I was 19yo, I'm 52 now, still hurts, I'm not a religious person, but somehow i call him when things get bad for me and somehow he is still there to help me.
I have a friend in So Cal. Jeff, and he met Lemmy once. He told Lemmy that he was his hero, and Lemmy told him nah, be your own hero. Then he asked him what he did for a living, and Jeff told him he installed alarm systems. Lemmy then said" Jeff, when a family is saved from having their home robbed, who are they going to thank? Not me, be your own hero. Jeff was almost ready to quit that job, but Lemmy gave him the kick in the ass to climb the company ladder, until he became part owner of the company. Wise words from Lemmy, a all round great guy.
Cool advice from a Rock God! Another Legend, Mick Fleetwood told me, "It doesn't matter what you do, just keep pursuing your dreams!" Long Live Rock N Roll!
I love this cover by Motorhead. Knowing it was filmed not long before Lemmy left this world. It fits as kind of a tribute to Bowie and Lemmy both. The video and it's editing are amazing.
If this isn't the 'very best' cover song in the history of rock then my name isn't Sc..tt Old..eld. I've had the absolute pleasure of seeing Bowie live 3 times, and the honor of having dinner with him once whilst touring in Australia with the Physodelic Furs while on tour in the early 80's. This version is nothing short of freaking EPIC. R.I.P. Lemmy you shall be forever so very sorely missed..! 😥. A dead set legend - there's not too many musos who can make such a claim to true fame. Cheers and thanks to All who loved and respected this great and gentle man.
As with others here, l remain deeply moved by this. So many Motorhead gigs under my belt, brings them all back. And David Bowie too. Be seeing you round, fellas. Love always.
For me, this is the best cover song performed by Motörhead. When I am listening to it I always get sad. I bought my first Motörhead record in 1977 and Lemmy was a sort of a fixture in my life since he joined Hawkwind. I am missing him...
I met Lemmy one night at a strip club in Las Vegas. I walk in the joint and there he was - leaning against the bar looking like a fuckin' rock star. I walk up and ask him if he wants a shot of whisky. He says Jack Daniels. We chat for about 5 minutes then I leave before wearing out my welcome. In general, you should never meet your heroes. But, every once in a while, you meet a good guy that just happens to be a legend. That guy was Lemmy.
Man.. My favorite Bowie song, and then Lemmy makes it even better.. Brings tears in my eyes.. Bowie, and Lemmy are legends, and will live forever, thank you both for your music. This is the best cover of a song EVER..
I can never finish playing this along to the cd at home on guitar as I always get choked up. Motörhead were just something else and Lemmy was just pure rock n roll. Bowies lyrics sung by Lemmy,just stunning.
OMG, I have never been so incredibly impressed by a David Bowie cover. I think this is the FIRST Motörhead song I have ever listened to (that I know of) and I have been listening to all kinds of music....❤❤❤
Never really listened to Motörhead, been an ac/dc fan for years but this tune an the way it’s performed is amazing. It’s been on my play list for months an I keep playing it loud.
Im crying for both of them, music industry wont be the same ever again, 2 men both beautiful and talented in their own special way, they will never be forgotten 💖 💖 xx
[Chorus] I, I will be king And you, shall be my queen Though nothing, will never drive them away But we can beat them, forever and ever Cause we can be heroes, just for one day [Verse 1] And you, you are insane And I, I am the same Cause we're lovers, and that is the truth Yes we're lovers, and we're in that booth [Refrain] Though nothing, will keep us together We could stop time, forever and ever We can be heroes What d'you say?

This is fantastic, but also....Sound Garden, "Just A Girl". Devo "Satisfaction". Cake "I Will Survive". Five Finger Death Punch "Bad Company". Manfred Mann " Blinded By The Light" Pantera " Planet Caravan"...Van Halen "Where Have All The Good Times Gone", Van Halen "No Good", Zeppelin "Dazed and Confused" (though that's more of a theft) Hell, even Skid Row doing "Little Wing"...Listen and enjoy.
This song proofed that my hubby and I are the perfect match! Me: Bowie fan since I was a kid. Hubby: Motörhead fan Lemmy and Bowie died in a time range of a few months. Lemmy sings one of our favourite songs from Bowie. We both still miss them.
Lemmy: "Death is an inevitability, isn't it? You become more aware of that when you get to my age. I don't worry about it. I'm ready for it. When I go, I want to go doing what I do best. If I died tomorrow, I couldn't complain. It's been good"
How Iconic that this is one of the last songs he sang in a world dreadfuly in need of people like him.... Pure love, Rock n roll to the core... Rest in Power man...
I would have never thought the ringing sound of amp feedback along with random sounds of the bass can be filled with so much emotion that it could make a man cry.... but it did. R.I.P Lemmy, Wurzel, Phil Taylor, Fast Eddie, and Larry Wallis. R.I.P Motorhead
My dad loves Motorhead and he named me Lemmy after him :) . Ive been listening to Motorhead since I was a kid :') R.I.P Lemmy. Gone but never forgotten :')
The original was amazing. This cover does something new and different with it, so its also amazing. I think David Bowie would have absolutely loved this version of his song. In fact, he would have asked to come onstage and sing along with Lemmy. And if that had happened, then it would have opened a hole in the space-time continuum and angels would have poured through, strumming on guitars and hammering out a beat on drums. What a precious gift those tow musicians were. The world is a poorer, quieter place without them in it.
my dad passed away 3 months ago, he loved motorhead had a tatto when lemmy passed i hope he is up there now hanging out with him :D , playing this really loud so he can still hear it ^^
I absolutely cannot get enough of this song and video. Probably the 100th time I have watched it. Happy Birthday Lem, and rest in peace. The world went to shit after you passed, but listening to Motorhead always gives me a glimmer of hope. Much love. 🤘❤️
This is the most wonderful video celebration of Lemmy ever. I love everything about it...especially the way it comes to an end. A hero's tribute. I really miss being able to look forward to a new Motorhead album. EVERYTHING Lemmy did had integrity. Yeah, some albums he and the boys did were better than others, but you can never say he phoned anything in. Everything he played was for the right reason. He and the boys could make anything sound cool...and I think Bowie himself would be smiling listening to this. Totally respectful and totally unlike any other cover of this song...and unmistakably Lemmy. RIP The Legend.
Bless Lemmy, blessed by the Duke, I hope. They're together, wherever is, and send their light on us. Blessin' us, now. Love and Long Live to THEIR MEMORIES!!
Mark Boyd Best day of my life May 99 Edmonton Alberta I got to be a part of the road crew and had a few drinks of jack:coke with Lemmy. I’ll nvr forget that night!!Thank you Lemmy a fiver lol 😝
Wayne Lajimodiere a true ( Lemmy) remains true. But few have uncompromised standard's. Time humanity and influuence are heavy hitting factors vertuallly inescapable. True all the fucking way.. Pure and geniune motive is the only way.....
Miss you Lemmy... Miss you Bowie... Feels like the end of an era. All my heroes are passing away one by one. We should all be so lucky that years after we pass, those who loved us say "man... What a great guy/gal, what a great time in life." So to all my Heroes I say Thank You! What a great time in my life!
Hanley, I share the same feelingof you! They are passing way, we miss them, but, is our task to keep their legacy alive, rolling...it makes me feel happy, continuing to hear them and sharing with the young generations their powerful and encouraging music. Take care Man and lots of Rock n' Roll in your life!
Being a fan since the beginning I just love this song song ,I'm 59 and it brings me to tears , I don't believe a word is a second close !? Hello my nephew Vinny
My favorite band playing my favorite song from my favorite solo artist. What an awesome version of Heroes! It was hard not to get emotional hearing this song. I miss them both so much.
I always missed out on Motörhead, but then I actually went to one of their last concerts in Germany, just weeks before his death. Sure, he was already marked by his illness, but it still was fantastic to hear all of those songs performed by the band and I would never have forgiven myself, if I hadn't seen this legend on stage at least once.
I crank this every Saturday night, along with Ride On- AC/DC and Hurt- the Johnny Cash version. Three songs that mean a lot to me. The neighbours love it.
That's amazing! So here are two songs, "Heroes" and "Hurt".. And both of the covers are better than the originals (no offense to David Bowie, but this was simply metal poetry)
Desde mis años mozos AC/DC, con Bon Scott, es mi amor eterno. Fue un flechazo, un no sé muy bien qué, pero me ganaron para siempre. La pieza fue “ There’s gonna be some rockin’ at the show tonight”. Y luego vino el resto.
I still miss my hero, my daddy. He was Army national guard and then went on to be an EMT before the term existed. That man raised us two boys the best he could and I admire that man.
Lemmy was beyond a legend..he was a god been listening to motorhead since i was 10 thank god my dad introduced me to good music and you can bet your ass if i ever have kids they will know who Lemmy is 🤘🤘
Dr. Gangrene - Physician of Fright Oh You Sir!!! Sound like my kind of character... Yes..yes I agree Bravo comment I think this song is my reason for living at the moment It is asskicking lightening To my Core The rest of my life Is at present A friggin David Cronenburg Movie Are you an MD..in real life? Cuz what I could share would Most likely stop you in your tracks Hey Thanks Doctor Love T
All the fancy of rock band images in the past at least 30 years can not cope up with the authenticity of Motörhead & Lemmy. The level of integrity - and intelligence - of this guy always amazes me. Steve Vai said about his playing: 'Man, gas on fire. I just hope to be as authentic as him.'
@@jackmann9031 I'll start by saying that this is a damn good cover. But Dave's version is simply definitive. Everything else is second best. If you like this version, let me recommend the Hollywood Vampires version and King Crimson's cover. Also, Blondie does one hell of a job.that being said, Mötorhead kills it here.
Depois de David Bowie, esta foi a melhor interpretação de Heroes que eu ouvi. Simplesmente porque eles não quiseram "inventar" em cima de algo que já era bom. A isto eu chamo de talento e respeito.
Não entendo como existe pessoas que não gostam de Bowie , simplesmente um genio criativo e Lemmy um monstro sagrado do rock estamos perdendp esses icones felizes que puderam usufruir dessa fonte que é rock o motorhead eu presenciei ao vivo !!!
I love the band and even after years after Lemmy moved on I find it hard to listen to any off their songs and covers they made without tearing up and crying.
@@davidjohn8661 By the way that christians react to Rock'n'Roll you can tell, the followers of Jesus know about the competition. And they are loosing the fight they started. We all know Rock'n'Roll exists, but Jesus never did.
December 5th 2023... Still listening.... Heroes never dies... Thanks Lemmy, thanks David

Lemmy always reminds me of that line in The Sandlot.
"Heroes are remembered, but legends never die."
Yes brother.
Ah. No. You see - to become a legend, one must die. You need to read more.
Isnt it great to have lived during this time in history. We had the best music. R.I.P Lemmy.
Fuck yeah !

"my dad is my idol" that's beautiful, I'm sure your dad was proud of you.
I will never forget this legend. His music touches my soul like nobody else. Cheers !

Take my hat off buddy
So true
Both him and Bowie will live forever
he actually lived like 200 years
If you consider non-stop drugs, booze, and sex living.
Lemmy war cool u.seine music bombastic
I knew a World with Lemmy and Bowie.
Now I experience a World without them.
.
I miss old times.
I literally cry that I never got to see them in person.
Just keep the memories and they never die. I sing them every day.
Seen Bowie on the glass spider from mars tour it was crazy i was 9 or 10 at the time i wish i got to see Motorhead
I still miss them both
That is true he done justice with his version both are very good depends on the mood

You're wrong, this song is by Bowie, many artists and bands covered it.

Without a doubt one of the very best, and most legendary, covers ever played in musical history... R.I.P. Lemmy you are most sorely missed.

One of the best covers ever , RIP Lemmy.
Spot on, brilliant
By far, the BEST version of this British classic! Lemmy has truly rocked millions and millions of music fans ❤❤❤❤

And I, I am the same
Cause we're lovers, and that is the truth
Yes we're lovers, and we're in that booth

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could stop time, forever and ever
We can be heroes
What d'you say?
[Verse 3]
I, I can remember (I remember)
Standing, by the wall (by the wall)
And the guns, were all ready to fire (ready to fire)
And we kissed, as though we never can fall (never can fall)

And the shame, was on another city
Oh we can beat them, forever and ever
Then we could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, we can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day

Meant every word...He was a great man...
Nikola Kranjčević
He certainly was.
There's hope yet, legends never really die... cheers friend, you caught me at a bad moment, lifted my spirit a bit...have a good one...
How to know an original song/ performer was better than you ever knew, and the cover artist was greater than you ever guessed.
❤
I would have never thought the ringing sound of amp feedback along with random sounds of the bass can be filled with so much emotion that it could make a man cry.... but it did.
R.I.P Lemmy, Wurzel, Phil Taylor, Fast Eddie, and Larry Wallis.
R.I.P Motorhead
My dad loves Motorhead and he named me Lemmy after him :) . Ive been listening to Motorhead since I was a kid :') R.I.P Lemmy. Gone but never forgotten :')
The original was amazing. This cover does something new and different with it, so its also amazing. I think David Bowie would have absolutely loved this version of his song. In fact, he would have asked to come onstage and sing along with Lemmy. And if that had happened, then it would have opened a hole in the space-time continuum and angels would have poured through, strumming on guitars and hammering out a beat on drums.
What a precious gift those tow musicians were. The world is a poorer, quieter place without them in it.
This is my favorite comment.
Poetry!
Good song to sign out on
Well said! 🎸👍🤘🍺
That's the most metal comment here dude!
Excellent version of a great song
my dad passed away 3 months ago, he loved motorhead had a tatto when lemmy passed i hope he is up there now hanging out with him :D , playing this really loud so he can still hear it ^^
All the metal heroes are still rocking, your dad had great taste for music
🖤🖤🖤
You had a good father, and you are a good son. Respects sir. Play loud VERY LOUD.
Hell yes he is brother!!!!!!
Be strong my friend. Play it out loud!
I absolutely cannot get enough of this song and video. Probably the 100th time I have watched it. Happy Birthday Lem, and rest in peace. The world went to shit after you passed, but listening to Motorhead always gives me a glimmer of hope. Much love. 🤘❤️
Well said, it has gone to shit 😮
This is the most wonderful video celebration of Lemmy ever. I love everything about it...especially the way it comes to an end. A hero's tribute. I really miss being able to look forward to a new Motorhead album. EVERYTHING Lemmy did had integrity. Yeah, some albums he and the boys did were better than others, but you can never say he phoned anything in. Everything he played was for the right reason. He and the boys could make anything sound cool...and I think Bowie himself would be smiling listening to this. Totally respectful and totally unlike any other cover of this song...and unmistakably Lemmy. RIP The Legend.
Bless Lemmy, blessed by the Duke, I hope. They're together, wherever is, and send their light on us. Blessin' us, now. Love and Long Live to THEIR MEMORIES!!
Mark Boyd Best day of my life May 99 Edmonton Alberta I got to be a part of the road crew and had a few drinks of jack:coke with Lemmy. I’ll nvr forget that night!!Thank you Lemmy a fiver lol 😝
Oh yeah forgot to mention I’m a paraplegic in a wc lol 😝 awesome 😎
Well Said man!!
Wayne Lajimodiere a true ( Lemmy) remains true. But few have uncompromised standard's. Time humanity and influuence are heavy hitting factors vertuallly inescapable. True all the fucking way.. Pure and geniune motive is the only way.....
This is an all time classic song that has been covered dozens of times...but this is by far the best version ever!! God bless you Lemmy!
iva davies (icehouse) is way better!!
Awesome! This song holds much for me. Just incredible. Would love to hear Bowie do The Ace of Spades.
Dwayne Goodin sadly we'll never get that chance as both Lemmy and Bowie are gone.
Dwayne Goodin that would be cool
That would have been amazing!
Miss you Lemmy... Miss you Bowie... Feels like the end of an era. All my heroes are passing away one by one. We should all be so lucky that years after we pass, those who loved us say "man... What a great guy/gal, what a great time in life."
So to all my Heroes I say Thank You! What a great time in my life!
So well said, well said 👏 👍
We all have an expiration date...make the best of the time you are here. We are never guaranteed a tomorrow. This was an epic side of Motorhead!
Hanley, I share the same feelingof you! They are passing way, we miss them, but, is our task to keep their legacy alive, rolling...it makes me feel happy, continuing to hear them and sharing with the young generations their powerful and encouraging music. Take care Man and lots of Rock n' Roll in your life!
Lovedd it
A true poet that can never be replaced. He will always be missed RIP SIR KILMISTER!
Being a fan since the beginning I just love this song song ,I'm 59 and it brings me to tears , I don't believe a word is a second close !? Hello my nephew Vinny
My favorite band playing my favorite song from my favorite solo artist. What an awesome version of Heroes! It was hard not to get emotional hearing this song. I miss them both so much.
Torrey Shoaff What Torrey said, I can't type because of the tears ;-)
One of the best from the best, covered by the best!
PersephoneNyxProtos that makes no sense.
One of the best [original songs] from the best [orig. artist David Bowie], covered by [Lemmy]. Stupid!
So glad I got to see Motorhead live! Lemmy was an absolute powerhouse on stage.
Saw lemmy with hawkwind belting out silver machine stood right up at the back,,,epic
I always missed out on Motörhead, but then I actually went to one of their last concerts in Germany, just weeks before his death.
Sure, he was already marked by his illness, but it still was fantastic to hear all of those songs performed by the band and I would never have forgiven myself, if I hadn't seen this legend on stage at least once.
This MOTORHEAD cover is just so damn good, you can play it over and over and over!
I play it everyday from nz
I requested Heroes to be played , April 12th 11 years ago, in honor of my father who passed away the day before.
This Cover is Simply Majestic.
crazy april 12 is my dads birthday and he passed away june 7th 2007 11 years ago...rock on bud
Same B to you as we go forth with the memories of our Fathers in our hearts.
I love that Lemmy made the lyrics his own, but kept the spirit of the original. "You, you are insane. I am the same."
I crank this every Saturday night, along with Ride On- AC/DC and Hurt- the Johnny Cash version. Three songs that mean a lot to me.
The neighbours love it.
Hurt breaks me, it must be an emotional Saturday night! Might want to throw Megadeth’s A tout le Monde in there!
All have cool memories - one of me faves Touch to Much replied cos of your Surname will let you find it !
That's amazing! So here are two songs, "Heroes" and "Hurt".. And both of the covers are better than the originals (no offense to David Bowie, but this was simply metal poetry)
My neighbours love it so much when I play it over and over, that they broke my windows to hear it better!
Desde mis años mozos AC/DC, con Bon Scott, es mi amor eterno. Fue un flechazo, un no sé muy bien qué, pero me ganaron para siempre. La pieza fue “ There’s gonna be some rockin’ at the show tonight”. Y luego vino el resto.
I still miss my hero, my daddy. He was Army national guard and then went on to be an EMT before the term existed. That man raised us two boys the best he could and I admire that man.
Lemmy and David.
Heros live long,but legends never die.
Yes...
Super yes from me.
Lemmy was beyond a legend..he was a god been listening to motorhead since i was 10 thank god my dad introduced me to good music and you can bet your ass if i ever have kids they will know who Lemmy is 🤘🤘
This song was used at my dads funeral and it couldn’t of been better thanks to this song. Lenny lived in my dads heart and will live in mine now
The best. Motorhead was just simply the best. Killer cover of a killer song. Motorized. So good!
I miss him

Oh You Sir!!!
Sound like my kind of character...
Yes..yes I agree
Bravo comment
I think this song is my reason for living at the moment
It is asskicking lightening
To my Core
The rest of my life
Is at present
A friggin David Cronenburg Movie
Are you an MD..in real life?
Cuz what I could share would
Most likely stop you in your tracks
Hey
Thanks Doctor
Love

All the fancy of rock band images in the past at least 30 years can not cope up with the authenticity of Motörhead & Lemmy. The level of integrity - and intelligence - of this guy always amazes me. Steve Vai said about his playing: 'Man, gas on fire. I just hope to be as authentic as him.'
I can't get over how insanely good this is.
Shivers.
Best version of "Heroes" ever.
@@jackmann9031 I'll start by saying that this is a damn good cover. But Dave's version is simply definitive. Everything else is second best. If you like this version, let me recommend the Hollywood Vampires version and King Crimson's cover. Also, Blondie does one hell of a job.that being said, Mötorhead kills it here.
So good even Bowie would approve.
is good!
class
Depois de David Bowie, esta foi a melhor interpretação de Heroes que eu ouvi. Simplesmente porque eles não quiseram "inventar" em cima de algo que já era bom. A isto eu chamo de talento e respeito.

Não entendo como existe pessoas que não gostam de Bowie , simplesmente um genio criativo e Lemmy um monstro sagrado do rock estamos perdendp esses icones felizes que puderam usufruir dessa fonte que é rock o motorhead eu presenciei ao vivo !!!
@@antonioclaudiodecarvalho4076 Concordo.
é melhor que a original.
I love the band and even after years after Lemmy moved on I find it hard to listen to any off their songs and covers they made without tearing up and crying.
Same here. Seen them five times.
Still can't believe a titan like Lemmy is no longer with us.
Lemmy has not gone, he has remained in our hearts!!!
If this ain’t a damn fine representation of Lemmy , idk what is . Gods speed good sir , save us all a drink in the great halls .
GREATNESS !!!
Could you immagine this duet, Lemmy and Bowie togerher on the stage?
@@zoranmajer5310 Dont forget Mick Ronson is up there too
@@ksr9t ronno and lemmy, fuck yeah!
Always blows me away. "Rock'n'Roll is the religion that will never let you down."
As enjoyable as it can be, rock and roll is useless to save you. Only Jesus saves.
@@davidjohn8661 By the way that christians react to Rock'n'Roll you can tell, the followers of Jesus know about the competition. And they are loosing the fight they started. We all know Rock'n'Roll exists, but Jesus never did.
