Privileged to meet Lemmy in about 72 (backstage at a Hawkwind gig). Top man. Friendly, kind, gentle, open, honest...I could go on but you know it all anyway.
From the first time I see him in 1978 until the day he died, he never changed. Lived and breathed rock 'n' roll. And those loudness wars Motorhead had with AC/DC were incredible. Rattling the bones inside your body and deaf for days after the gigs it was so loud. The kids that climbed the banks of speakers at the sides of the stage must be completely deaf now. Those that are still alive. Great great days! RIP Lemmy, Phil and Fast Eddie.
Along with Frank Zappa, Lemmy was one of the very rare breed of entirely authentic, rational yet hilarious yet sanity-ridden musicians the rock world has ever known and probably will ever know.
@@playinragz8183 Depends. If you live on a different planet he might not be so influencial. But on planet Earth he was pretty well known for believing in free speech, musicial creativity, groundbreaking experimentation in inventing new methods to record, mix and produce music. In fact, Mr Zappa is a man with many talents. If by not being on the radio means he is not well known, then i gotta just remind you that the tv, the radio and other platforms dont like people who REALLY believes in free speech...But everybody who sees the world for what is is knows who is known for doing great things. We just dont need radio to prove otherwise😉 Lemme and Zappa are 2 great figures and we need them today!
Brilliant. As someone who saw Motorhead 6 times, I miss him so so much. Totally underestimated and underrated lyrically. Brings me to tears seeing clips like this 😿
Such a genuine guy. Spoke his mind and didn’t care if you agreed or didn’t. He lived his life his way and never pushed his lifestyle onto anyone. Saw Motörhead many times and they always gave their all. Met Lemmy twice in my youth and was totally in awe! Devastated when he passed and still am all these years later. A one off,there will never be another like him. Thank you Lemmy,you will never be forgotten.
I saw Motorhead in 1981 open for Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz tour.....LOUDEST fucking band I have ever heard and fast. It was called speed metal at the time and was intense show I will never forget ~
Probably will still be called speedmetal, because of the incredible amount of speed consumed. Lemmy always said, it was the drug that agreed with him. Don't get me wrong it's dangerous. I know as well as he did. But even after 15 years and still being young, I had to stop or I wouldn't have been here to write this, in fact it's a miracle I'm alive. Thanks for mentioning the term speedmetal, I had forgotten about it. That's exactly what it was. There's few types of music you can tolerate on the stuff - motörhead is one that is totally agreeable in that state of mind, like it was made for it. 🔥Sorry about responding to an old post (two years)🔥🤛👁🤜
I saw this tour at the Palladium NYC in 81 I’ve see over a thousand concerts and seeing Motörhead open for Ozzy with Randy was a stand out experience Never Forget!!
First gig I saw then at the Mayfair in Newcastle. 1998. I could hardly tell the songs apart that's how incredibly loud they played..my ears were ringing all week afterwards...will never forget this experience
Glad I got to see Motörhead the times I did. Blistering music. Great shows. Every time it'd be like, holy fuck - there's Lemmy in his element - bigger than life - come out of the shows feeling like I'd gone 15 rounds and won.
Lemmy was one of those guys that you just wanna hang out with. Normal dude, but very intelligent and articulate. He will be forever missed, but his music will live on.
Damn, I love this interview. Lemmy tells it straight and how is really is. I have been listening to Motorhead ever since I was a small child. The first time I heard Snaggletooth, it instantly became my favorite song. I am so sad that he is gone now; rock will never be the same, and we will not see his like again anytime soon. Rest In Peace Lemmy! You are loved and missed us all.
and 32 yrs later he succumbed to cancer which i think more everyday lem actually knew he had it but just was a true rock 🎸&roll warrior and chose to keep working till he couldn't anymore..Which is what i am going to aspire to.Lem said when you retire "you're nothing" how true..💰? Wtf is that for ? You gotta keep on rockin or else...
presskopp religions are abstract concepts..a poke in the direction of understanding reason and finding peace or fulfillment. If music does that to you, you could argue it is your religion
It's amazing how Motorhead made up of three men can make the mega wall of sound that they did. Many of the most successful band's in rock & metal are comprised of three musicians.
This is what legends look like. Just a regular guy that is sure of himself but not full of himself. Tells it like it is but can laugh at himself. I've seen them come and go.
A True Rock and Roll Godfather, and without the attitude and arrogance most ultra-talented musicians have. And he lived and rocked for another 30+ years. One of a kind here. Too bad Lemmy and Wendy O. Williams never had a child together. They would have created the Musical Antichrist.
That was hands down the best interview I've ever seen with Lem. And actually because of the total lack of understanding of the interviewer as the completely square headed tosspot tries to understand this new thing called heavy metal. It reminded me of meeting my in-laws for the first time. Kids whose parents don't understand metal should watch this for some insight.
Watching this interview reminds you that Lemmy never changed anything in his life to suit someone else. That's why he remained single until the day he died. He refused to compromise on anything and everything. It's also why Motorhead lasted 40 years until he died. He wouldn't let a bunch of record company executives push him around and tell him to change the band"s sound or image.
Motorhead was the working mans band...They were fucking amazing though great respect and love for them...Lemmy was the best and there is never gonna be a other..All them past members of Motorhead felt the same that is why they were there with Lemmy..
@@TheBigMclargehuge when he spoke, impressionable kids listen, and only used subtance that accelerated their hearts instead of making them take dirt naps. Out of the millions that listened there had to be at least 10 thousand people that said fuck that shit if lemmy won't even fuck with it. Doesn't mean they didn't die a slow liver death though, so probably, maybe, but he was right about the shit, as it's become a plandemic of zombies in most cities. Fn pathetic.
Good thing he condemned heroin, but that didn‘t even stop his „best friend“ (quote by Lemmy) Phil Lynott taking heroin. And heroin played the biggest part in Lynott‘s body breaking down when several of his organs failed in 1986, after having used H since 1978.
Lemmy before Motörhead or Hawkwind, was in Sam Gopal. He was the lyricist, guitar player and sang. Their 1 album is pretty good. Very Lemmy lyrics even then.
first time I saw motörhead was the bomber tour 1979 theatre royal, nottm....then 15 more times - derby assembly.... leicester granby....donnington....hammersmith odeon....stafford....? ....but mostly at rock city....
A bit of misinformation in the first couple minutes. First of all: Lemmy formed Motorhead in 1975 - not '65. Second: the posted lyrics at the beginning are quite wrong. "Don't spread it" haha, that's funny as fuck.

never arrogant, always real...
A gentleman, a wit, and a scholar. Sadly missed.
will be missed every day i have left on this planet.
yet dirty rotten and filthy at the same time. never will be another like him

I need to research what your talking about, that sounds amazing. I was born in 82 so I didn't get to see those shows.
"Rock and Roll, it's the only religion I've found that never lets you down." Lemmy.
Now that's a quote to live by.
Along with Frank Zappa, Lemmy was one of the very rare breed of entirely authentic, rational yet hilarious yet sanity-ridden musicians the rock world has ever known and probably will ever know.
And Peter Steele too
Totally agree!
2 amazing humans we need today more than ever
Frank Zappa was a nobody in the world. Lemme was a 10x maybe 100x more known and influential. Nobody plays Zappa on the radio!

Classless? No way. Lemmy had more class in his ring finger than most people think they have in their entire life
Ain't that the truth. "No Class" was obviously anyone that was not Motorhead, lol
If u have to resort to drugs can u really be held to a certain class 😃
@@lonelystoner8594 yep
You wanna have class? Be humble intelligent, and heroin free like Lemmy
@@gabrieldzwonowski9815 Just do loads of meth like he did and you'll be fine, right? No. Lem was a rare breed. He had an iron constitution.
he was such a sweet and kind human being .

Interviewer “do you ever feel your age approaching” Lemmy
“No though Other people feel my age approaching them” 😂😂😂

Funny if you listen the interviewer says at the beginning. 'When you formed Motorhead in 1965.'
I was just to post the same 😂
Lemmy with a simple mustache, that was a pretty rare sight...
Looks fucken baben
Geezer Butler's cousin
The look of lemmy face when he said it bitch it was 1975 get ur shit right👌🏼🤦🏻♂️
No moustache Lemmy ever wore (or occasionally didn't have one) was simple. Every scraggly hair was METAL.
No it isn't, you clearly don't know lemmy,hawkwind, motörhead as much as you think you do
Can’t say this enough: Lemmy is BEAUTIFUL!! He is special and one of a kind
Amazing...1983 and his interviews were STILL on-point and highly intelligent. He had a lot of his stock one-liners even back then.
keefriff99 why wouldn't it be so?
Could listen to this man all day long
Lovely bloke. RIP Lemmy.
And the man lives to 70 doing what he does best 😁 legend isn't the word 👏 he lived his life good and had fun fair play to him
and 32 yrs later he succumbed to cancer which i think more everyday lem actually knew he had it but just was a true rock 🎸&roll warrior and chose to keep working till he couldn't anymore..Which is what i am going to aspire to.Lem said when you retire "you're nothing" how true..💰?
Wtf is that for ? You gotta keep on rockin or else...
Joe Gorman my personal thoughts here are Lemmy started dying when Philthy dieed .He seemed so devastated.
I was 17 during this interview and Motorhead was the coolest band 🤘
They where motorhead they played rock n roll!
Don't forget 'em! :)
great interview, a gentleman, much missed
I rly wish I could have spent some hours with this man. He seems so chill, open-minded and wise. Also, funny AF
Rock'n Roll is the only religion I've found that never let's you down !!!
That's a true fact man
Rock ´n´roll is the opposit of religion..
presskopp anything can be a religion
Unfortunately, yes. It just bothers me that Lemmy allways said he hated religion but loves RocknRoll. So how can RocknRoll a religion?
presskopp religions are abstract concepts..a poke in the direction of understanding reason and finding peace or fulfillment. If music does that to you, you could argue it is your religion
In the end ,its your Family that lets you down. Rock in peace Lemmy
I worship Lemmy every day...
"I consider myself as rock and roll which is classless". Love Lemmy.
It's amazing how Motorhead made up of three men can make the mega wall of sound that they did. Many of the most successful band's in rock & metal are comprised of three musicians.
And Speed
Lemmy’s first two answers are pure gold. 🤘🏻❤️🤘🏻
Living up to the bands name right here. Giddy up.
Love how he mentioned AC/DC as being another dirty rocknroll band. AC/DC will always be my no1 but Motorhead a close second.
AC/DC and MotorHead are the loudest and heaviest rock n roll bands of all time. My favorites.
Ladies and gentlemen the fucking king of rock and roll! We miss you Ian!
Great insight from the 80's cheers for posting
Lemmy was a great guy. Proof you could be a badass, and not be an asshole.
Met him once before a show at a small club pops in Illinois he couldn't have been a more humble and cool dude.
A very intelligent, quickly witted, humorous and decent man, imho 👍👍👍🎸🎵🎶
No nasty comments to be found here. That’s right, because it’s Lemmy. Respect!🤘🤘🤘
What a beautiful human.
This is what legends look like. Just a regular guy that is sure of himself but not full of himself. Tells it like it is but can laugh at himself. I've seen them come and go.
Simply Brilliant !
R.i.P Brother ☠️
I like how he supports other rock acts like ACDC and ZZTOP two other bands I like he's all class RIP
The year of 'Another Perfect Day'. A stone cold classic.
...i love that smile 🌼
He was pretty lighthearted and cheeky, speedy till 70 - slowed down a bit after that but rocked harder. Every album is good. Beginning to end.
Love this guy.... Been a huge fan since I saw Motorhead open for Blizzard of Oz back in 81.
Absolute Hero. 😉🏴☠️👽✌️♠️🤘
Just to sit around with the guy and chat about whatever would have been amazing.
A True Rock and Roll Godfather, and without the attitude and arrogance most ultra-talented musicians have. And he lived and rocked for another 30+ years. One of a kind here. Too bad Lemmy and Wendy O. Williams never had a child together. They would have created the Musical Antichrist.

Lemmy rocks,plain and simple.
Who else thinks Lemmy would have made a great portraral of Hitker.?
👍
in 1965 LEM player with Vickin Rocker....
Lemme was a dam good person told it as it is a total legend still listening
Lemmy's Dad was born in 1903 and ive never thought of his parents
The best 👌
The man
The legend
Never forgotten
Gone but not forgotten. Miss you Lem. \m/_
Now i know where Peter Steele draw his inspiration
This interview is awesome! Always liked Motörhead’s music. Ace of spades was one of my favourites as a 13 year old in my head banger years. 😆
@1:13 1975 not 65 ! Lemmy is an original. Greatest rock n roller ever.🤟🏻🍻.
Mad how they were saying there’s no rock n rollers left in 1983!
Interviewer doesn't understand a rebel doesn't follow he'll never get it either.

Imagine all the lives he saved by speaking out against heron.For all the wrongs he did more good then he will ever get credit for in this life.
Probably zero.

Guy is very intelligent !

The guy was totally comfortable in his own skin and would probably speak the same way to a beggar or a king. The real deal.
Yedu Raghav on so many levels! Emotionally and socially and intellectually. A remarkably well rounded person.

What an absolute legend
Lemmy handles an attack interview with class and honesty.
Really?
Motorhead was formed in 1975, not 1965.
I love that man👍
Randy Rhoads loved Lemmy i think Randy saw him as an older protective brother on Tour....
"I don't consider myself as rock and roll"
Interviewer's a bit wooden, Lemmy does well to endure him
❤️❤️❤️🚬🍷🚬🍷🚬🍷🚬🍷🚬🌈🎸🎸🎸🌈💪🏆one Good MAN👍👍 👍we miss you
🖤🥃👊🏻+ True Legend !
This video..
Was posted a day after Lemmy's death.
Don't spread it...Marmite back to you.
Fukin love it!
1983 what a year ain' it lover
grande Lemmy!
Rock and Roll
So real hearing that now
Remembering how gloriously dangerous it was and is and the price
gene vincent fan, no wonder he was so great
Lemmy took Kaining the body to the limit.
allround great guy, artist with no bad bone in him.. but bad to the böne
