Even as an old Punk I have to say that for me this has always been the purest distillation of all things Rock and Roll. Lemmy and the boys are everything this music is supposed to be. Glad you got it and glad too that it got you.
Another old punk here, Motörhead was the ONLY rock not looked down upon when punks started to be elitist about music. Nobody had an argument against them 😂
No frills, no BS - they were the real deal - the pure essence of it. They made other bands look like a bunch of girls on their prom night. RIP Motorhead.
Next song ? It has to be 'Overkill', their most self-defining song from their greatest ever album of the same name. There'll be no turning back concerning Motorhead from there on in.
RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, They kept their amps set to 11, and you had to feel that wall of sound that hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer to experience that raw power
Overkill, Bomber, Ace of spades. Those three studio albums are flawless. And then for dessert No sleep till Hammersmith, their live album, up there with the best live albums ever
When Lemmy passed a blues player ( guitarist ) that has turned a shovel into a three strings electric, played with a slide. Payed a tribute to this song on a spade that was phenomenal, the guys name Justin Johnson. You might be surprised Lee.
Lemmy was such a sweet guy, the documentary made on him is a must see. Dave Grohl at his eulogy told a story about bringing a signed Little Richard photo he knew Lemmy would treasure.
This was the classic line up that I saw live three times in 1979 and 1980 leaning over the edge of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London. I was so close my eyebrows were singed as the smokebombs went off. Although they are miming here to the studio track this is exactly how they sounded, looked and acted on stage at live gigs.
"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL" is what Lemmy said at the start of every show then would say "WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND THAT WAS ROCK N ROLL" at the end of every show that's all he would say no chit chat between songs no fucking around
UK, Young One, Broadcasts on the Beeb, this hit like a freight truck. I think only the Damned hit so hard from a Young Ones appearance and that was with a song they wrote special for the show. Also check out "Headgirl", a colab Motörhead did with Girlschool, a UK all female rock band. The lead track was a cover of "please don't touch", it made number 5 in the charts! The national POP charts. In the 80's weird stuff like that could happen
Saw this lineup in the summer of 1980 outdoors in Minnesota. They finished their opening piece and Lemmy said "now for a love song." Then the opening riffs of this tune happened. Yep, pure love for this version of Motorhead! I will never forget that quote.
So many great Motörhead albums in my collection, First choice , Overkill, 2nd Another perfect day , 3rd orgasmatron Also check the song Ramones by Motörhead & also the band Disrupt with Wurzel from Motörhead
Yep, this is 1980, but Lemmy formed the band in mid 1975 and this line-up was together from early 1976. They always sounded like this, just got better at it. During their heyday, Motorhead was the only heavy rock band that punks were permitted to admire. Denise Dufort was the drummer from Girlschool (all-female rock band), who had collaborated with Motorhead before.
Re: Denise Dufort: She was Girlschool's drummer and played drums on all three tracks on the Motorhead/Girlschool collaboration EP "St Valentine's Day Massacre" (check that out, the lead track "Please Don't Touch" is a classic). She's not on the Ace Of Spades album. Philthy was a monster drummer, but a bit of a loose cannon offstage. He played an entire UK tour with a broken wrist, playing with the stick gaffa taped to his hand, after punching someone out outside his flat. He isn't on the HeadGirl EP cos he'd broken his neck falling down some stairs during some drunken tomfoolery.
Lemmy is awesome slamming it out with that Rickenbacker bass. Yeah play it again- love it! Also dig Motorhead's Civil War and Them Not Me. Wicked nasty rock.
Denise Dufort is from the band Girlschool who supported Moterhead many times in the early days. For me Girlschool are the most underrated band ever. Cmon let's go, Race the devil, Emergency are absolute bangers. As well Lead guitarist Kelly Johnson I would put alltime best guitarist
Early 90s, end of term when my wife was teaching, her class got the chance to pick some music to listen to and they voted for some boy band. She said something like "you're not making me listen to that - how about _Ace_ _of_ _Spades?"_ - so they played that instead. 😂
You've just discovered the greatest band ever! 1980 was the first of many times that I saw these guys, on the Ace up your Sleeve tour in Bristol UK. RIP Lem, Fast Eddie & Philthy - Motorhead for life 🤘🤘🤘
Gday Lee,first time i heard motorhead,old mate had them on tape(yes tape)in 79,in a datsun 1600 had it up to 11 driving down the freeway on the way to the coast at 6AM,surfboards on roof,smoking a joint,loving life.Have a listen to hellraiser or march or die.
The Motörhead concert with Ramones as closing act in May 1994 in Buenos Aires was the loudest concert i ever attended in my life,i was deaf 4 days after that. I really don't understand how they could play at that volume for 40 years and not go deaf. For more Motörhead i recommend you: -Iron Fist -I'm So Bad Baby(I Don't Care) -Hellraiser -Burner -Liar -Overnight Sensation -Broken -We Are Motörhead -Killed By Death -Overkill -Going To Brazil -No Class -Bomber
Look up Compressorhead’s version of The Ace of Spades…..someone loved this enough to go through a lot of cash and trouble to make a robot tribute band to Lemmy
"Just 'Cos You Got The Power" is my favorite Motorhead tune. The live version from the "No Sleep At All" album may be the best performance, but others certainly have their virtues.
Denise Dufort was drummer with all girl band "Girlschool"who were on the same label in the U.K. as "Motorhead". They did a duet E.P. together called "the saint valentines day massacre" which included the hit "Please Don't Touch" you really need to check it out.
Saw them at Manchester Apollo and they were as loud as usual… after, we all piled into pub up the road, so everyone is getting drinks, jukebox playing, ears buzzing. Then the jukebox suddenly switched off and for about 5 seconds there was a deadly silence as we all stared at each other in panic, thinking our eardrums had been destroyed! The relief when the jukebox came back on! 😂
"...gonna play it again". The only possible reaction.
😂😂😂 how can you not? 👍
Legally I think you have to
Exactly
Total respect for that but it should be," gonna play that again, but louder this time" 😁
@@LS-uw5onput it above 11 for sure 😂😂
Lemmy said in an interview, "We wanted to be the band, if we moved next door to you, your lawn would die!".
Don't put this on your driving playlist unless you're OK with getting a bunch of speeding tickets!
Even as an old Punk I have to say that for me this has always been the purest distillation of all things Rock and Roll. Lemmy and the boys are everything this music is supposed to be. Glad you got it and glad too that it got you.
Lemmy spent some time playing with The Damned
@@Kevvinm Somewhere in the depths of my music collection i have a copy of the MotorDam sessions , the Damned are criminally underrated .
Another old punk here, Motörhead was the ONLY rock not looked down upon when punks started to be elitist about music. Nobody had an argument against them 😂
@@annebokma4637 yes I remember at school you were either in the punk group or the metal group, but everyone agreed on Motorhead
No frills, no BS - they were the real deal - the pure essence of it. They made other bands look like a bunch of girls on their prom night. RIP Motorhead.
Lemmy ; the only rock star i missed ,when we left us.
1980, number 1 in the UK charts, metal ruled then, loved lemmy in hawkwind
Saw them in 78 and 80, my ears are still ringing 👀
Best reaction ever hahaha! Absolutely play it again
Next song ? It has to be 'Overkill', their most self-defining song from their greatest ever album of the same name. There'll be no turning back concerning Motorhead from there on in.
"We are Motörhead" would be my pick. Fabulous lyrics, delivered in a voice that sounds like Lemmy is speaking from down in a mine shaft.
@@louise_rose...and for something completely different, "1916". The heaviest "non-Heavy" Motörhead song. Heartbreaking and powerful.
"Play it again" Yes!!!
Nothing beat.the original 3 now that's the real MOTORHEAD
In its way one of the most perfect pieces of music ever recorded.
"We're a Rock and Roll band, just everything louder than everything else"
RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, They kept their amps set to 11, and you had to feel that wall of sound that hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer to experience that raw power
You got a like, just for playing it twice!
Philthy killing it, RIP
Best reaction ever. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Haha thank you bro. I had to play it twice it was so good 😀😂😂
@@L33Reacts I'm 48 and heard this all my life. Has to be a top five best ever heavy rock track. 🤘🏻🤘🏻
Overkill, Bomber, Ace of spades.
Those three studio albums are flawless. And then for dessert No sleep till Hammersmith, their live album, up there with the best live albums ever
Motörhead with the classic line up here are the most pure rock n roll you can listen to…just at ear bleeding volumes. Magnificent.
When Lemmy passed a blues player ( guitarist ) that has turned a shovel into a three strings electric, played with a slide. Payed a tribute to this song on a spade that was phenomenal, the guys name Justin Johnson. You might be surprised Lee.
That will now be with you for life. 🖤
Lemmy is a God!!!!
Lemmy was such a sweet guy, the documentary made on him is a must see. Dave Grohl at his eulogy told a story about bringing a signed Little Richard photo he knew Lemmy would treasure.
Absolutely maximum rock and roll
Hell yeah, loved the double play!
This was the classic line up that I saw live three times in 1979 and 1980 leaning over the edge of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London. I was so close my eyebrows were singed as the smokebombs went off. Although they are miming here to the studio track this is exactly how they sounded, looked and acted on stage at live gigs.
We are the road crew, Bomber, loads of hits from this tour/album
Saw them on the Ace Of Spades Tour at Glasgow Apollo .
The best .
Now we're talking!!!Godfathers of grunge!!! Biker rock.....love it...R.I.P Lemmy and Phil.....truly underrated 3 piece.
The real deal, right bro? This shit was AWESOME
@L33Reacts yeah...Britain was rocking in 1980.... check out Saxon......anything off their "Wheels of steel" album🤟
Superb Rock anthem.
Gotta play it again, haha, correct response! Subbed :)
Yes! Play it again. 🤘♠️🤘
Well done, sir.
I had to! That was NUTS
"Rock and Roll Till I Die", they certainly did.
"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL" is what Lemmy said at the start of every show then would say "WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND THAT WAS ROCK N ROLL" at the end of every show that's all he would say no chit chat between songs no fucking around
"We are the future, Baby, used to be the past.
We are the first to come and just might be the last
We are Motörhead and we don't have no class!"
😄
Lemmy was a massive Beatles fan!
The 80's were the entirety of my teens. I am always instantly transported back in time to the salad days of my youth
Don't shy away from some of their covers....Brilliant.
Their cover of Metalica's 'Whiplash' is better than the original!
In Louie Louie, you hear all the words.
UK, Young One, Broadcasts on the Beeb, this hit like a freight truck. I think only the Damned hit so hard from a Young Ones appearance and that was with a song they wrote special for the show.

Great reaction, loved the fact you played it twice and the fact that you still love great hard rock music, despite your prog leanings. Nice one 👍
seen Motörhead live a couple of time, it is relentless hard rock, I mean it is just great! ^
If you’re interested in very early punk/metal check out the MC5.
So many great Motörhead albums in my collection, First choice , Overkill, 2nd Another perfect day , 3rd orgasmatron

I travelled over to Brussels to see them in 1982.. excellent gig 👍⚒️
My intro to this song was a performance on the British tv comedy series The Young Ones. Epic!!
The Rockin Vicars, Sam Gopal, The Boz, Llandudno. Ah.....memories!
I was not expecting a mention of Sam Gopal anywhere at all, let alone here. Blimey!
@@thescrewfly Tis a strange...and wonderful....world!
Overkill - Official Video (live). Thank you and goodnight!

Djs at 95ynf in Tampa would sometimes play this twice in a row.
First saw them August 1981 , Port Vale , so loud and so good 👍
"Ace of Spades" by Motörhead ... They came, they played .... they kicked its Ass.
seriously, you could get the best his and just listen to it all day
Lemmy is awesome slamming it out with that Rickenbacker bass. Yeah play it again- love it! Also dig Motorhead's Civil War and Them Not Me. Wicked nasty rock.

Saw them supporting motorhead in Brussels 1982. 👍⚒️
Female guitarist
YEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
I think they appeared on The Young Ones .
We Are Motorhead And We Play Rock and Roll
Lemmy! ♥ The "L" stands for "Legend" :)
It sounds like a mix of punk and metal
One band that both communities loved in the early 80s, Motörhead.
For some great Lemmy bass playing, Hawkwind - Lord of Light live Space Ritual version is a must.
A "Wake and Bake" Masterpiece
👏🎸🎵✌️😎
Live, they were always an event.... You don't know what loud is unless you saw them 👍
Lemmy. You god !!!! RIP and rock in heaven
Overkill next, it's the law
Early 90s, end of term when my wife was teaching, her class got the chance to pick some music to listen to and they voted for some boy band. She said something like "you're not making me listen to that - how about _Ace_ _of_ _Spades?"_ - so they played that instead. 😂
Yay! It's just good manners to play it twice.😉
Of course. Just out of courtesy. 🤷🤣
Exactly. Great minds and all that ...😂🇬🇧✌
Rock & Roll on 11 !
After the song he immediately proceeds to talk about loads of other bands 😂
Stay on point, dude
It’s just how I do the videos. It’s all off the cuff 🤷😂
FUN! Vocals remind me of Killing Joke. Never heard MH before either. Will have to check out more.
This was such a bop. I bought it on release. Love the energy. Feels a long, long time ago now.
44 years is a long time, my friend. And also not, at the same time. Strange. lol 😂
You've just discovered the greatest band ever! 1980 was the first of many times that I saw these guys, on the Ace up your Sleeve tour in Bristol UK. RIP Lem, Fast Eddie & Philthy - Motorhead for life 🤘🤘🤘
OVERKILL is the drummer goto for MOTORHEAD-popularized double kick drumming in rock music
Gday Lee,first time i heard motorhead,old mate had them on tape(yes tape)in 79,in a datsun 1600 had it up to 11 driving down the freeway on the way to the coast at 6AM,surfboards on roof,smoking a joint,loving life.Have a listen to hellraiser or march or die.
There are NO fans on this film set. Their badass-ness made their hair do that.
"Runaround Man" is a nice one, if ya looking for other Motörhead songs
No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith is one of the greatest live albums ever.
' I don't want to live forever' and don't forget the Joker!
The Motörhead concert with Ramones as closing act in May 1994 in Buenos Aires was the loudest concert i ever attended in my life,i was deaf 4 days after that. I really don't understand how they could play at that volume for 40 years and not go deaf. For more Motörhead i recommend you:

-Liar
-Overnight Sensation
-Broken
-We Are Motörhead
-Killed By Death
-Overkill

-No Class
-Bomber
Overkill, Bomber, Shine, plenty of great Motorhead tracks
Look up Compressorhead’s version of The Ace of Spades…..someone loved this enough to go through a lot of cash and trouble to make a robot tribute band to Lemmy
Classic lineup, Lemmy Kilmimster Vocals and bass; Fast Eddy Clarke. Lead Guitar; Philthy Animal Taylor. Drums.
h, yeah!
When I saw the first time in a little basketball stage in Athens,after i can't hear well for 3-4 days🤘🤘
Perfect Rock n Roll.
Sublime!
Saw Motorhead at one of their last performances at Glastonbury they were epic and bloody loud.
Overkill must be next 👌
thank you your the best
"Just 'Cos You Got The Power" is my favorite Motorhead tune. The live version from the "No Sleep At All" album may be the best performance, but others certainly have their virtues.
Inspired countless bands.

Lemmy.. lead singer... look him up he is a massive Beatles fan
Loved it. A great up and at 'em start to my day. Blessings all
Glad you enjoyed Shirley! who needs coffee when you have this song?? Lol
Great song to start the day with! Time to get up!
Legend
I got into Motorhead after hearing Metallica's covers of Motorhead songs, although i always loved this song, which i first saw on The Young Ones.
Saw them at Manchester Apollo and they were as loud as usual… after, we all piled into pub up the road, so everyone is getting drinks, jukebox playing, ears buzzing. Then the jukebox suddenly switched off and for about 5 seconds there was a deadly silence as we all stared at each other in panic, thinking our eardrums had been destroyed! The relief when the jukebox came back on! 😂
This song was basically about playing cards on the tour bus!
