    Hard to categorise? Lemmy's intro: Hi we are Motörhead and we play Rock and Roll.

    • @0okamino
      @0okamino 5 років тому +38

      I'd say that's the humble Lemmy way of putting it, but they really brought together bluesy rock, hard rock, punk and metal into the glorious maelstrom of their style. So, to put it as simply as Lemmy did, they ROCKED!

    I've also seen Lemmy tell the story about the mic position as a means of not seeing the audience, so he could forget that the audience was made up of only 10 people (including the bar staff) and a dog.

      I heard it was because lemmy had stage panic and the mic upwards would let him play and sing without being nervous, kinda makes sense, even with 10 people and a fog you could get anxious.

    One of the things I liked about Lemmy’s singing was that it never really changed. A lot of male singers start to sing at a higher pitch as they age (see Axl, Vince Neil and even Bruce Dickinson). I’ve always wondered why that was? Lemmy on the other hand, never had that happen. Guess it was his style of singing that put little stress on his vocal cords.

After the show he recognized me and signed my gold Ace of Spades CD from a bar stool sitting next to a super hot blonde chick while drinking Jack and Coke. RIP Lemmy

    That's a good point you made at the beginning. There are so many "vocal coaches" analysing singers, but if I ask a question about singing I never get a reply. You, Ken, on the other hand, always answer. Plus you have so many albums out. I am currently getting them all. I had your Elvis cover of Can't Help Falling In Love playing the other day, and my neighbour is a mad Elvis fan. When I was coming home from work he said "I see you've discovered the King, about time I'm sick of hearing Tom Petty and that Dylan bloke!" So there you have it Ken, I didn't know whether to tell him it was you or let him carry on thinking it was Elvis.
    And anybody who reads this, have a listen to Ken's Elvis, it is amazingly like The King.
    As for Lemmy, I loved him he had no filter and nobody messed with him. I have a big framed poster of him in my house underneath it says 49% MF, 51% Son of a bitch.

    Lemmy remains my favorite musician because he was uncompromising in so many ways. His voice didn't start out as the rough, gravelly thing made so famous by Motorhead; his songs in Hawkwind sound different because he isn't pushing his voice beyond its limits; some of the songs on the first Motorhead album are also like this. It must have done all kinds of permanent damage as later on, during the Lemmy documentary his voice was at times subtitled. God I miss knowing he's out there.

    Thank you Ken, the video was definitely fun to watch but I'd like to hear more about what you personally think about Lemmy's voice and singing style. To me he's got a perfect voice for rock and roll and just the right attitude, as you have described. I've had discussions with people that have an opposite point of view and say that he couldn't sing properly. I don't think Lemmy cared about technique or stuff like that, he was all emotion and heart and passion. That's the reason why we admire him and hold him in such high regard, a straight shooter definitely, we need more people like him. Great channel by the way.

Loved it from the first time I heard it and was just getting into Maiden and Priest with Number Of The Beast and Screaming For Vengeance as they had just come out. But Ace Of Spades was something REALLY different, and it reached out to me. Since '96, I've seen Motorhead about 6 or 7 times and loved them every time! Cheers!

    I remember an interview with Lemmy , I think when the first Headcat album came out, and he was asked about his vocal style. He said that he actually had a weak singing voice and so had to really push it and eventually it became what we know and love. He sings Big River and although he doesn't sound like Johnny Cash he certainly catches his phrasing. ;0)

    Ha! Your Robert Plant story is hilarious, because the exact same thing happened to me, except I'm clearly not Robert Plant, although I did play in a few completely obscure punk bands in the 80s, but that's irrelevant to the story. years after I quit playing and I'd moved to Toronto, I was a regular at a local place called the Bovine Sex Club. I guess I LOOKED like I was in a band, that whole late 80s sort of punk/glam/goth variations on the Johnny Thunders theme with lots of leather and black hair and you get the idea. Anyway, what sounds like possibly the same gum chewing gold digger you saw in LA comes up to me all flirty and asks me something unintelligible. So I leaned closer to her, and said, "What?". She goes, "What band are you in?" and looked quite excited about which one it might be. So I said, "I'm not in a band", and she goes, "oh", turns and walks away exactly like Robert Plant girl. That's the day I realized exactly how shallow that whole scene was and walked away from it. Well, I know my story's not as great because it's always better when a guy from Led Zeppelin's in it, but it's the best I can do. and it's sort of comforting to know that the same thing happens to world famous rock superstars.
    Also, forgot to mention that I was lucky enough to see Motorhead in 82, one of their final shows with the original lineup, and yes, it was LOUD. Sounded like an airport with drums. It was brilliant.

    I had bruised ribs for a month after watching Motörhead at Leicester University way back when, I got constantly slammed up against the barriers by the crowd behind, but I didn’t notice at the time! Too busy going nuts!

    The one and only bassplayer in the world i think, that uses his bassguitar almost like a normal guitar. There is a video here on UA-cam that how he explains the way he plays his bassguitar.
