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 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.
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.
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.
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...
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.
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..
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.
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.
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!
What I love about Motörhead covers is that they are not just that, but versions in their own style. This is one of the very best ones for sure! R.I.P Lemmy. ♠️
The only time any band has done that as well as motorhead was when sepultura covered Orgasmatron. It was clearly done with so much love but in their own style and with their own pronunciation of Lemmy's lyrics (which are just perfect) ❤ I will forever need Motorhead in my life! X
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 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.
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.
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.
[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?

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!
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
@@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.
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...
Lemmy will live forever in my heart! I saw him for the first time at a concert in Hamburg in 1986. It was really loud and impressive! Thanxs Lemmy for being part of my youth!!
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
@@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.
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.
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"
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 agree, FUCK CANCER! Have lost several friends to cancer in recent years. Your comment struck a chord with me as I'm also a big big fan of Bowie and Motorhead. We must all be strong at some point in our lives. Keep rocking and smiling and play those tunes damn loud.
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....❤❤❤
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 :')
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
Bowie's masterpiece stripped down to the bare essentials and run at 200mph is possibly the most Motörhead thing I have ever heard. You are a probably a Motörhead fan but you don't know it yet. :)
Marcelo Farias : I know, but let's do what Hé wanted... Let's Kéép Rocking, despite our pain.! Try to cheer up.. We still got our memories ànd the chance to be born is his lifetime is Also ours... Wé SAW HIM PERFORM.!!. A dozen times, for me anyway, and I bet YOU saw him aswell.!
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.....
Thank you Lemmy and David for the many decades of foynd memories in my youth. I have cherished them for my lifetime and have passed your amazing talent on to my children and now their children. We have been blessed to have the best musicians in multiple generations to ever walk, perform your amazing talent, vocals and song writing ever.
Great song, cover, Mickey, Phil, and Giant Lemmy. Nine years that Lemmy has changed his cosmic address. This magnificent video is a deserved tribute to a fantastic band and to an unrivaled career. They gave all they had inside. Mickey Dee and Phil Campbell were also exemplary in accompanying Lemmy until the end. Hats off, guys. I better stop there, as it becomes too emotional...
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 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.
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
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. 🤘❤️
Motörhead - Heroes (David Bowie cover):Lyrics I, I will be king And you, shall be queen Though nothing will drive them away I will beat them, forever and ever Cause we can be heroes, just for one day And you, you are insane And I, I am the same Cause we're lovers, and that is a 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? 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 We could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes, we can be heroes We can be heroes We can be heroes, just for one day
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.
His contribution to music is undeniable, and he is recognized as one of the greatest vocalists in the genre. Ozzy is truly an icon of the music industry, and his influence will endure for generations.
Saw Motörhead in The 80'-ies in Sea-side Rock near a wery small town called Narpes Finland. Not a lot came to a small place like this but Lemmy was great.
Saw Motörhead open for Ozzy in 1998. Huge outdoor Amphitheater. I was still a kid in my early teens. Didn’t know much about them. But Lemmy blew my mind dude. Every time I look back my body goes numb from my head to toes. Wish I’d have another chance to see then before he passed. : (
Hi Jussi Pussy! My second home is Finland (Suomi)! I came back 2 weeks ago from Luhanka. It's near Joutsa, at the railway 4, between Heinola to my favourous town in Finland : Jyvaeskyle! I'm an old Punkrocker. I going ,maybe, back to Your land at the end of march/begin of April. I think, You're very much too young for me, but would like, that You're contact me, 'cause i love all Finns...
Somebody only really dies when their name is spoken for the last time. So lemmy , Bowie, Freddie , Syd, Richard will live for as long as we love real music.
So right... so let’s say a big hi to Thutmoses III warrior pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Pitt the Younger from uk and that guy from the front of the newspaper on Cheers opening credits who didn’t eventually become president in US.. help me out the name escapes me
Hey Lemmy, where ever you are right now...don't you dare to let us wait for 2000 years until you come back into this world!
Thank you Lemmy....
He's with Odin rocking in Valhalla.

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.
Hello Mother Father of all creation r here in physical flesh n playing this song to reach u. Phone home today ❤🎉 we luv to meet u
A men brother
Great Timing....!
Lemmy is probably Smoking The Devil..
And Bowie ❤
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.
“It is not death that a man should fear, but he should fear never beginning to live.”
― Marcus Aurelius

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.

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
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.
I'm drinking to Lemmy and Bowie. They were heroes for more than one day. Cheers!

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

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

Though nothing, will keep us together
We could stop time, forever and ever

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
"And if I die tonight..." I'm happy and thankful to have experienced such a great inspiration like MOTÖRHEAD ♠
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!!
Dear People of the Future, this is what a rock star was.
yes
Dear people of Today, this is what a whiskey drinkin', gun slingin', bad ass, motherfuckin' Rockstar was.
And always will be

This is a great comment
Eu no meus 56 anos já mais esquecerei a melhor banda de metal do mundo."Salve Lemmy" obrigado Motorhead 🤘🤘🤘🤘🤘
Que isso, que bagagem meu amigo. Muitos anos para o bom e velho ROCK N' ROLL!!!
Larga vida al rok
Tenho 22 e também considero o Motörhead a melhor banda que já pisou na terra
Not just a hero for a day, man. For us, you're a hero for eternity.
8 years since his passing and he is still rocking my speakers
Привіт з України! У нас війна! Вже три роки слухаю тільки Леммі! Він дарує надію на перемогу над російськими Z-фашистами!
Right on guys!! 🤘
The same for me. Keep on fighting! Never give up! No surrender!
One of the greatest rock songs ever played by one of the greatest rock bands ever. Legendary
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
Thank you Lemmy for all you did for this world in the short time you were here... no excuses , just his own MAN!! the world needs more❤️❤️❤️🤟🏻🤟🏻
An afternoon spent listening to old rock and roll is an afternoon well spent ❤
Yeah, just doin the same. Greetings fom France!
c'est presque mystique la voix de Lemmy sur cet hymne de David !! Quelle nostalgie l'époque rock de ces deux légendes ... MISS YOU SO MUCH
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.
Still one of the best videos on UA-cam, Long Live Lemmy and Motörhead!
It's been years, and I still get choked up watching this.
Listening to the message in this song. Many say: "don't try to be a hero". But you can be a hero at least for one day.
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...
Beautiful comment
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...
Tear in my eye for Lemmy and a tear for how great he performed this song. RIP Sir.
Lemmy will live forever in my heart! I saw him for the first time at a concert in Hamburg in 1986. It was really loud and impressive! Thanxs Lemmy for being part of my youth!!
Presne to iste som zazil
The best. Motorhead was just simply the best. Killer cover of a killer song. Motorized. So good!
I miss him

It is asskicking lightening

Thanks Doctor

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!

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.
This MOTORHEAD cover is just so damn good, you can play it over and over and over!
I play it everyday from nz
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"
Fuckin' A'
Beautiful that

Absolutely no shit! well said
you rock
I love that Lemmy made the lyrics his own, but kept the spirit of the original. "You, you are insane. I am the same."
Perfect song to send off Motörhead,R.I.P. Lemmy.
The world went straight to shit when Lemmy and Bowie died.
Dimebag , Pete Steele
Yes it most certainly did
I miss Dime Bag...!
Give this man a cigar👍👍👍👍
NEXT WILL BE OZZY `IM NOT GONNA DO WELL WHEN HE PASSES`
Two of my most played on Spotify…Lemmy and Bowie! Two of the greatest musicians ever hands down! 🤘🏼
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 ;-)
It breaks my heart to hear this. I miss both Lemmy and Bowie so much. They were amazing musicians. And fuc...k cancer!
Yup-it's amazing how a great cover can honor both artists.
I agree, FUCK CANCER!
Have lost several friends to cancer in recent years. Your comment struck a chord with me as I'm also a big big fan of Bowie and Motorhead.
We must all be strong at some point in our lives.
Keep rocking and smiling and play those tunes damn loud.
Some of us choose it.
Oh yes....i am in tears....
where is beautifull song and never
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....❤❤❤
I think this is a proof of humility and respect, and of course a beautiful version of another great musician.
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 :')
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
Es werden schon 10 Jahre! Wie die verdammte Zeit vergeht aber Rock'n'Roll 🤘🏻 auf Lemmy 🍻
I never was a Motörhead fan but this version of «Hereoes» is just insane
Its all good
Come to my age and you are fan
@@rueganer70 if i interpret your account name correctly, I assume that we have the same year of birth
Bowie's masterpiece stripped down to the bare essentials and run at 200mph is possibly the most Motörhead thing I have ever heard. You are a probably a Motörhead fan but you don't know it yet. :)
@Dirk Silbernagel if you were never a fan of them then you hate Motörhead
I waited 2 months to watch this video just to avoid crying. Then I watched it today and I cryed like a baby. I really miss you, Lemmy!
Marcelo Farias idem.
Marcelo Farias : Just last week I had the guts to watch Lemmy's funeral... As I was afraid of, it broke me.!
Two years today our hero left us. My heart is still broken :'(
Marcelo Farias : I know, but let's do what Hé wanted... Let's Kéép Rocking, despite our pain.! Try to cheer up.. We still got our memories ànd the chance to be born is his lifetime is Also ours... Wé SAW HIM PERFORM.!!. A dozen times, for me anyway, and I bet YOU saw him aswell.!
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.....
Thank you Lemmy and David for the many decades of foynd memories in my youth. I have cherished them for my lifetime and have passed your amazing talent on to my children and now their children. We have been blessed to have the best musicians in multiple generations to ever walk, perform your amazing talent, vocals and song writing ever.
Great song, cover, Mickey, Phil, and Giant Lemmy. Nine years that Lemmy has changed his cosmic address. This magnificent video is a deserved tribute to a fantastic band and to an unrivaled career. They gave all they had inside. Mickey Dee and Phil Campbell were also exemplary in accompanying Lemmy until the end. Hats off, guys. I better stop there, as it becomes too emotional...
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.
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.
' When we, ( Motorhead )
are gone..they'll be a hole
that you can't fill '
--- Lemmy.
so very true ...rest easy Lemmy, Eddie and Phil.
...don't forget Wurzel!!!!
I'm gonna cry :(
Absofuckinglutely true R I P MR BOWIE MR KILMINSTER 😭😭😭😭
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
La puissance de Lemmy sur ce titre !!!
Ca le rend magique !!
RIP Lemmy et David...
c'était ça le rock...
RIP lemmy
English you fkin frog
@@irokosalei5133 Your comment is not worth a nail.
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 😮
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!
Gents I'm 58 and I'm proud to say I've seen and heard the best. Long live lemmy.
I am 63 and what?
The age sucks!!!
I must say, You are wring. Lemmy is dead ✝️.
Im 58 too and just hitting my prime. Love to you..cheers.
Motörhead - Heroes (David Bowie cover):Lyrics
I, I will be king
And you, shall be queen
Though nothing will drive them away
I will beat them, forever and ever
Cause we can be heroes, just for one day
And you, you are insane
And I, I am the same
Cause we're lovers, and that is a 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?
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
We could be heroes, just for one day
We can be heroes, we can be heroes
We can be heroes
We can be heroes, just for one day
déqagude:::::::::::::::!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
you are a legend my friend! thxs a lot!

What a rendition!!!
Motorhead for ever and ever!!!
R.I.P Bowie and lemmy, both legends of the music.
🙌🙌🙌🤘❤️🤘🙌🙌🙌
Gods of Rock n Roll 🤘❤
Lemmy rock it all the way to the pearly gates!
I weep every time when I watch this - David and Lemmy - R.I.P
They died within 2 weeks of each other. Wow.
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.
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!
His contribution to music is undeniable, and he is recognized as one of the greatest vocalists in the genre. Ozzy is truly an icon of the music industry, and his influence will endure for generations.
Saw Motörhead in The 80'-ies in Sea-side Rock near a wery small town called Narpes Finland. Not a lot came to a small place like this but Lemmy was great.
Saw Motörhead open for Ozzy in 1998. Huge outdoor Amphitheater. I was still a kid in my early teens. Didn’t know much about them. But Lemmy blew my mind dude. Every time I look back my body goes numb from my head to toes. Wish I’d have another chance to see then before he passed. : (
Hi Jussi Pussy!
My second home is Finland (Suomi)! I came back 2 weeks ago from Luhanka. It's near Joutsa, at the railway 4, between Heinola to my favourous town in Finland : Jyvaeskyle! I'm an old Punkrocker. I going ,maybe, back to Your land at the end of march/begin of April. I think, You're very much too young for
me, but would like, that You're contact me, 'cause i love all Finns...
Somebody only really dies when their name is spoken for the last time. So lemmy , Bowie, Freddie , Syd, Richard will live for as long as we love real music.
Cliff Richard isn't dead yet! Lol
@@indyjones1135 - He probably meant Little Richard who died May 9. 2020.
So right... so let’s say a big hi to Thutmoses III warrior pharaoh of ancient Egypt, Pitt the Younger from uk and that guy from the front of the newspaper on Cheers opening credits who didn’t eventually become president in US.. help me out the name escapes me
@@acm1350 ever heard of Richard Wright (Pink Floyd) ?
