Man Lemmy was one of a kind, I don't think the world can handle another one LOL. One of the hardest working men in the industry. He toured up until his cancer diagnoses and died days later. He said something like he wanted to be in the kind of band that if they moves next door to you, your lawn would die.
As a thrash metal fan, I feel a debt is owed to Lemmy. He was instrumental in guiding hard rock and metal into what it would be for the next 15 to 20 years. It was a sad day when we lost him
I saw him for the first time and last time right before he died when he performed in Montreal in October 2015. Sounded like shit. But sounded great for a guy who was weeks from death! So happy I got to see him before he left us! RIP to a legend.
I saw Lemmy play in the early 2000s. Before the show instead of hanging out backstage in the green room he was sat out front at the bar drinking, smoking, and playing the video poker machine like he was just a normal dude in the crowd. He wasn’t trying to blend in or anything. He just did his thing and didn’t give a shit. I also heard a great story about him going down to some office building in Hollywood where he had to sign a contract and he refused to go inside. Instead he made them bring the contract out to him on the sidewalk because he had some rule about never setting foot in an office building.
Philthy Animal was just an insanely energetic and precise drummer. And kind of a wild dude in real life but boy was he perfect for that band. I can't get enough of it. Try to catch him in some of the clips if this turns out to be the video of it.
DAMNED right!!! Phil was just a coked out monster on the drums, but (as a drummer) i was envious as shit of his speed, precision, and attitude!! All hail PHIL!!! 💯💯😎
I was a Hawkwind fan back in the 70's and when Lemmy left in the mid-late 70's I didn't expect him to be part of another great band... but here we are, half a century later, listening to Ace of Spades.
Former Motorhead guitarist (the late) 'Fast' Eddie Clarke said he'd rather have 'Ace of spades' than a million pounds in the bank because the song would be around long after he was gone... That riff was his idea. Motorhead has a ton of great tracks to check out - 'Overkill'... 'Bomber'... 'Deaf forever'... 'Iron Fist'... 'Snaggletooth'... 'The chase is better than the catch'... 'Orgasmatron'... 'Eat the rich' ... 'The one to sing the blues'... 'Hellraiser'... 'We are Motorhead'... 🤘🤘🔥🔥
Motorhead - "The Game" is the Triple H theme... He's a fan of Motorhead and was friends w/ their leader Lemmy Kilmister (vocals & bass)... Ian Kilmister became a rock n roll fan in England at an early age in the late 1950's... he earned the nickname 'Lemmy' because he was always asking to borrow money ( "Lemme a fiver..." 😂) ... Lemmy Kilmister said he saw The Beatles play live around 1962 before they had a record out... He played rhythm guitar in the 60's in a band called The Rockin' Vickers, but eventually moved to London, where he became a roadie for Jimi Hendrix... In 1971, his life changed when he joined the UK band Hawkwind on bass (he had never played bass before that!) ... Lemmy said playing bass was his true calling; he blossomed musically and wrote original songs... scoring a hit single 'Silver machine' by Hawkwind... Unfortunately, he was fired in 1975 after he was busted on tour w/ drugs at the US - Canadian border. Returning to England in 1975, Lemmy formed the rock trio Motorhead, but the band was deemed "awful" by the critics and music industry... However, the band shocked everyone in 1978 when they scored a UK hit single in 1978 - 'Louie Louie' (a cover of the 60's hit by The Kingsmen) w/ Motorhead featuring Lemmy (vocals and bass), Phil 'Philthy Animal Taylor (drums) and 'Fast' Eddie Clarke (guitar)... They released 3 albums that would inspire the thrash metal genre in the 80's between 1979 and 1980 ('Overkill' ... 'Bomber'... and 'Ace of spades') and scored a #1 UK album in 1981 - a live record 'No sleep til Hammersmith'... However, their records were not widely available outside the UK or Europe because the American music industry didn't think they would sell! After the 1982 album 'Iron Fist'... Eddie Clarke was fired after internal conflicts (the band was mired in drugs, alcohol and fighting) and guitarist Brian Robertson (from Thin Lizzy) did their 1983 album 'Another perfect day' which was a commercial failure. Both Robertson and Philthy left Motorhead by 1984. Lemmy reformed Motorhead for their 10th anniversary tour in 1985 w/ 2 new guitarists - Mick 'Wurzel' Burston and Phillip 'Zoom' Campbell, and drummer Pete Gill, releasing the 1986 album 'Orgasmatron... but Motorhead was being overshadowed by the thrash metal bands they had inspired in the 80's (Metallica, Megadeth, Anthrax, Slayer, etc.) ... Major bands like Guns N' Roses, Skid Row, Nirvana, Nine Inch Nails ... all cited Motorhead as a huge influence... Philthy (drums) rejoined Motorhead in 1987 for the "Rock n' roll" album and the 1988 live album 'No sleep at all'... Unfortunately, financial problems led to Motorhead leaving the UK and moving to the USA... Lemmy settled in L.A. where he lived the rest of his life... In the 90's he wrote lyrics for major records by Ozzy Osbourne. In 1991, Motorhead finally returned w/ the '1916' album and got a Grammy nomination... but record sales were still poor. Philthy was fired in 1991 and replaced in 1992 by Mikkey Dee (drums) for the album 'March or die'... Their 1993 album 'Bastards' was a shot against the music industry and was not released in the US for years. While recording the 1995 album 'Sacrifice', guitarist Wurzel quit Motorhead, and the band decided to remain a trio for the rest of their career - Lemmy (bass & vocals), Phillip Campbell (guitar) & Mikkey Dee (drums). Motorhead persisted recording albums and touring year after year from the 90's into 2000's... Thankfully, the 2004 album 'Inferno' became an unexpected bestseller as Motorhead's career took off once again... subsequent Motorhead albums began charting all over the world and by 2011, Motorhead's world tours were sold out... Their catalog of music was in huge demand. Lemmy was immortalized in the documentary film 'Lemmy' about his life and career in 2010 ... After their final album 'Bad Magic' in 2015, Lemmy was in poor health but kept touring that year... He was diagnosed w/ cancer just after he turned 70 in December and died days later... Motorhead announced they would not continue. Sadly, former members of Motorhead that have passed away include original guitarist Larry Wallis, drummer Philthy, guitarist Eddie Clarke, and guitarist Wurzel... R.I.P.
This song is important in UK music history, because it came out when Punk Rock and New Wave music dominated the British music charts. The song had the rare accomplishment of appealing to BOTH Heavy Metal and Punk Rock music fans in the UK. The song proved to be very influential to Heavy Metal bands in the mid-to-late-1980s.
You are right. Triple H did speak at Lemmy's memorial service. I watched it streamed live. He did a good job. The whole service is worth a watch id you can find it.
Motorhead was the first band who merged the metal and punk scenes. Lemmy was friends with the metal bands Metallica and Megadeath while also was friends with the punk bands the Damned and the Ramones.
I saw Motorhead and Dio live, years ago. I remember it was not long after the death of Dee Dee Ramone. You could tell that Lemmy (and Dio, for that matter) were still feeling the sting of losing a good friend
A couple of facts: Lemmy did a number of cameo parts in several Troma films. Secondly, when Lemmy passed away, the rest of the band decided to put an end to Motorhead. Lemmy WAS Motorhead IMO.
First crime I ever was caught for in my life was shoplifting this album. 💯 I hold that as a matter of fucking pride... I feel like Lemmy would have been proud to know that. 💯😎🤣 (I'm ALSO amazed that you turned a 3 minute song into a 21 minute reaction... but i aint complaining. 🤣😎)
I can see the connections to those other genres but to me it feels slightly earlier in time and it's just extremely hard rock. And as somebody at that age that loved hard rock, it was always great when they were bands that really rocked hard. I mean like really really rocked hard. And that was Mőtorhead for sure.
The difference between Megadeth, Metallica and Motorhead is that Motorhead rocked properly. You can hear the R'n'B and real dirt and grit in the music.
The realest, the most fun, the most badass, unapologetic, always bombastic, true rock'n'roll. Lemmy and his gang! Their sound was heavily influenced by punk and, in turn, influenced thrash metal.
There's gravel in his voice..like you say, raw. Another rock voice you might like is The Cult, Fire Woman (official video). Like the research you. I learn something everytime. Especially billboard info.
You're right, Motörhead were a major influence on Metallica (of which Megadeth is in turn a spinoff band, as you may know). Metallica drummer Lars Ulrich even told Lemmy, with a sense of embarrassment, that Metallica totally cloned Motörhead. But Lemmy said no, Metallica had created something of their very own and should be proud of that. Motörhead were even influential to musicians outside the realm of metal. Ice-T, who I'm not afraid to call a raplegend, is a huge metal fan and did guest vocals on Motörhead's 1993 single "Born to raise hell" (that was the theme tune to the comedy classic "Airheads" the following year). Ice-T also guested on a Black Sabbath song. For the last 30 odd years, he has also fronted his own heavy metal band, Body Count, who are not as well known to the mainstream as his rap work but that I definitely recommend. Amazing contemporary heavy metal with suitable rap esthetics to spice it up. And like a fine wine, they have only got better with age. Lemmy, yeah ... He was one of THE great characters in rock and metal. As a young man, he had several less successful bands and was also Jimi Hendrix' roadie (!), until he had his first break as the bassist and sometime vocalist of Hawkwind, Britain's legendary heavy space rock pioneers. He sang on Hawkwind's only major hit single, "Silver machine" (1972), that made waves even in the US. He was fired from Hawkwind following an arrest for drug possession while crossing the US/Canadian border - ironically the drug in question turned out to be legal. So he formed his own band, Motörhead, named after a song he originally wrote for Hawkwind. He got famous for Motörhead's music, and exceedingly popular among colleagues for his great personality and intelligence. He was a staunch supporter of female rock musicians at a time when many scoffed at the very idea, outspokenly anti-racist, pro-gay rights and very well-read - in addition to his foul-mouth sense of humor. He refused many a lucrative deal if the context was such he couldn't proudly have Motörhead's name associated with it, and was very down to Earth in general. His home - if you could call it that, since he was constantly touring and never got tired of it - was, for the last three decades of his life, a small apartment in LA, and when a friend asked why he didn't move to a bigger place, he replied: "What for? I can only be in one room at a time." Last but not least he was a versatile musician, as demonstrated by the 1991 song "1916" - that has found many new admirers the last couple of months thanks to the successful cover version by Sabaton, the Swedish band who is one of THE biggest in heavy metal at the moment. Anyway, "1916" is a sad ballad about one horrific battle during World War I, and in Motörhead's version, it's just Lemmy's melancholy vocals over a marching drum and a cello. Genius. Pure genius. OK, lots of rambling here, but you DID say you wanted to know more about Lemmy, so hopefully you got something out of it. All the best!
When I was a kid, you would hear Metallica and Megadeth on "regular" FM rock radio anytime. To hear Lemmy and Motörhead, someone either gave you a cassette tape or you had to listen to late night Saturday radio.
Love Motörhead, all time favourite band🤘🤘please react to more, such a great band with great songwriting that a kot of people dont always pick up on i think. Song recommendations: The Hammer Orgasmatron Stay Clean
I saw this line up live three times in London in the early 80's and they were exactly the same as the video: same stage positions, outfits, everything. The loudest band I have ever heard
Lemmy loved fruit machines and that's how he got his name. He was always broke when he was young through playing the machines. His real name is Ian but he would say Lemme some money so I can keep playing
i enjoyed your reaction, especially the lemmy voice description. 🙂you are correct, lemmy was / is motörhead. overkill might be one you'd like. 1916 is popular now due to the recent cover version by sabaton. hope you enjoy listening to more motörhead. 🙂
Welcome to Motorhead enjoy your stay 😀♠♠😀 I can't even begin to talk about Motorhead because I'll be here for an eternity - their music is entwined throughout my whole music tapestry ❤🤘 My favourite song by a country mile is 'Overkill' Phil's drumming on that is awe inspiring and gets my adrenaline to critic levels and makes my lungs feel like they're on fire and about to burst when I'm out running 😳 My whole workout mp3 thingy is metal songs i.e Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Five Finger Death Punch etc And for that song to crescendo all of those, really does say something about his talent 🥁🥁🥁 Heaven (or Hell 😉) became a whole lot noisier and interesting when those 3 wonderful musicians joined the club - Our lose, their gain ❤💋🤘
If Lemmy were still alive today, he would tell you that Motorhead is NOT metal! They just play some hard ass blues based rock 'n roll. "Motohead music" it's as simple at that. Remember punk came out of England (as well as the U.S.). Put two and two together. They have a lot of punk energy to me.
Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor was the ORIGINAL thrash metal drummer. And let's get this right.....Motorhead INVENTED Heavy Metal. All that came after them attempted to advance and improve on what Motorhead had done.
Man Lemmy was one of a kind, I don't think the world can handle another one LOL. One of the hardest working men in the industry. He toured up until his cancer diagnoses and died days later. He said something like he wanted to be in the kind of band that if they moves next door to you, your lawn would die.

Respect, those guys right there were my first concert. Birmingham 1981 and I'll never forget.
"We are Motörhead and we play Rock 'n' Roll!" RIP Lemmy!
Punks and Metal Heads both love MOTÖRHEAD
Lemmy brings people together

I guess we are close in age cos I remember Hawkwind, I was born in 66, I'm 57 now, big Motorhead fan!!!
@@robertoacevedo6247 I'm in my 60's, still enjoying rock and metal.
@@tribaltalker1608 respect brother! 🤘🤘🤘
I heard someone once say that if a Harley Davidson could sing it would sound like Lemmy's voice that person was spot on.
Former Motorhead guitarist (the late) 'Fast' Eddie Clarke said he'd rather have 'Ace of spades' than a million pounds in the bank because the song would be around long after he was gone... That riff was his idea.

This song is a full-on sprint from the get go. I swear every time it ends I feel like I need to catch my breath. (Whew… 😎)

Punk was coming up at the same time and there is no way Punk wasn't influenced by Motorhead
Saw them 5 times in late 80s & 90s. Met Lemmy once at the bus. Just 5 minutes but he was a Gentleman to my group. All respect!
"WE'RE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK'N'ROLL!"
I can now see where this might have been the precursor to Ministry and their style of playing....
You are right. Triple H did speak at Lemmy's memorial service. I watched it streamed live. He did a good job. The whole service is worth a watch id you can find it.
the drummer is beyond wild
MMBxMOB shaking his head to the drum beat. I know, I always do it too. Philthy should be mentioned more in the halls of drum fame.
We are Motorhead and we play Rock n Roll
Motorhead was the first band who merged the metal and punk scenes. Lemmy was friends with the metal bands Metallica and Megadeath while also was friends with the punk bands the Damned and the Ramones.

There's a film called "Hardware" with Lemmy in it driving a boat taxi through a post-apocalyptic city. Great movie.
Yes, Triple-H did indeed speak at Lemmy Kilmister’s funeral service.
There is a layer of punk rock in the speed of the music. BTW I had cold chills running up both arms.
Old school metal!! Saw Lemmy way back in the day. The show was Motörhead and Mountain. Follow this up with Mountain song Mississippi queen.
First crime I ever was caught for in my life was shoplifting this album. 💯
I hold that as a matter of fucking pride... I feel like Lemmy would have been proud to know that. 💯😎🤣

The difference between Megadeth, Metallica and Motorhead is that Motorhead rocked properly. You can hear the R'n'B and real dirt and grit in the music.
The best way to listen to Motorhead is to start with the first track on On Parole & finish with the last track on Bad Magic.
All of them kick ass.
Saw Motorhead several times in the 80's......loudest shows ever....smoked a Marlboro with lemmy once.......great conversation....
Triple H did speak at Lemmy's funeral, they became very close friends after Lemmy do d his theme songs, Motorhead is Teiple H 's favorite band.
The realest, the most fun, the most badass, unapologetic, always bombastic, true rock'n'roll. Lemmy and his gang!

Dude started listening to metal a few years ago, and he already can trace the lineage of the style... you rock dude!
The best. Ace of Spades.
Love Motörhead, all time favourite band🤘🤘please react to more, such a great band with great songwriting that a kot of people dont always pick up on i think.
Song recommendations:
The Hammer
Orgasmatron
Stay Clean
Most songs were composed by Jim Johnston for WWE, but some were actual songs licensed for entrances for example Living Colour - Cult Of Personality
I saw this line up live three times in London in the early 80's and they were exactly the same as the video: same stage positions, outfits, everything. The loudest band I have ever heard
i recommend you :
*Triple H - The Game (Entrance Theme) feat. Motörhead*
Anywhere there's electricity, there's Motorhead fans.
This has been my alarm wake up song for years
Motorhead were
, are , pure class
This song is an ass kicker. Fast and furious punch you in the face rock and roll. Brilliant
Lemmy loved fruit machines and that's how he got his name. He was always broke when he was young through playing the machines.
His real name is Ian but he would say Lemme some money so I can keep playing
i enjoyed your reaction, especially the lemmy voice description. 🙂you are correct, lemmy was / is motörhead.
overkill might be one you'd like. 1916 is popular now due to the recent cover version by sabaton. hope you enjoy listening to more motörhead. 🙂
Probably the best version.
was lucky enough to meet both Lemmy Ronnie James Dio among others 11+ times over 30 years🤟🤘 Evolution song is Motorhead too
Welcome to Motorhead enjoy your stay 😀♠♠😀
I can't even begin to talk about Motorhead because I'll be here for an eternity - their music is entwined throughout my whole music tapestry ❤🤘
My favourite song by a country mile is 'Overkill' Phil's drumming on that is awe inspiring and gets my adrenaline to critic levels and makes my lungs feel like they're on fire and about to burst when I'm out running 😳 My whole workout mp3 thingy is metal songs i.e Metallica, Megadeth, Iron Maiden, Judas Priest, Five Finger Death Punch etc
And for that song to crescendo all of those, really does say something about his talent 🥁🥁🥁
Heaven (or Hell 😉) became a whole lot noisier and interesting when those 3 wonderful musicians joined the club - Our lose, their gain ❤💋🤘
I believe that Motörhead or at least Lemmy should be in the Celebrity Wing of the WWE Hall of Fame. Come on HHH make this happen.
Lemmy lived on Jack Daniels and cigarettes
Great reaction!! Thanks for showing the love ✌🏼❤
Pure POWER
Lemmy was Jimmi Hendrix roadie when Jimmi lived in London
motorhead was way before thrash...they pretty much paved the road
Best live band ever. ❤
Lemmy was a legend
If Lemmy were still alive today, he would tell you that Motorhead is NOT metal! They just play some hard ass blues based rock 'n roll. "Motohead music" it's as simple at that. Remember punk came out of England (as well as the U.S.). Put two and two together. They have a lot of punk energy to me.

Its not about gambling, it's a metaphor.
⭐️ ⭐️ ZZ Top - “gimme all your lovin”. A bluesy, soulful, smooth rock track that just bubbles and simmers all the way through. Give it a try! ⭐️ ⭐️

Lemmy is God. X
Try song- 1916. Or song- Ain't no Nice Guy. Softer side but good shit!
Fast Eddie Clark !!!!! Watch him shred
Lemmy didn't like the term heavy metal and always just said they played Rock n roll. He also likened themselves more to punk than heavy metal
LEMMY IS GOD 🥰🥰🥰🥰
Great song but stone dead for ever or damaged case are my favourites
Pull up Tripple H's ulogy at Lemmey Funeral, it's well worth watching
Phil 'Filthy Animal' Taylor was the ORIGINAL thrash metal drummer. And let's get this right.....Motorhead INVENTED Heavy Metal. All that came after them attempted to advance and improve on what Motorhead had done.
time to stone cold that dome. daily.
Screw the wrestling, that's just a blip on the radar.
You mentioned Megadeath, Iron Maiden, Metallica.. these guys were 1st....

Sadly 😢their no longer with us
ORGSMATRON
This is pre thrash metal! Metallica and Megadeth are copies of this although they are great this is original
Motorhead is the dirtiest band in the world. If Motorhead moved next door to you, your lawn would die. Lemmy is God.
DUDE, you have talked for 12 minutes now out of 13 min this has been on.
What’s wrong? Did you run out of fast-forward credits this month?
You talk too much. A 4 minute song takes you 21 minutes
