Dude, he did it for 40ish years with that same voice. In Rock, sometimes the voice don't matter. It's about the music, attitude, presentation, genuineness, etc.
This live was recorded 2004, Lemmy died 2015, so he had many, many live shows to go until... And the song "Overkill" is originally from the album of the same name from 1979! I miss Motörhead...
I managed to catch Motörhead in the summer of 2015. It was a noticably tired Lemmy performing. When i first saw them in 2007 it was much much different.
@@annebokma4637 Thank you 😂 Actually just a couple of months ago, she gave me her collection of records. There is some really good stuff inthere! 😁 Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple, Uriah Heep, Jethro Tull, Nazareth etc etc etc
You gotta hand it to those vocal-chords.. Decades of one of the hardest gigging bands singing wrong, all that whiskey and drugs, and still being one of the most recognizeable voices up until the end.
For sure. I've seen many bands over the last 40 years and the two best gigs I was at, were the two times I went to see Motorhead. Seen Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, Maiden et al..........but Motorhead live is like nothing else on Earth. The power that band had on stage..............
Wow! I can't believe you actually responded and did it! Amazing! Thank you. This song was the final song at every concert from 1975 until his death in 2015. The lyrics are actually paying tribute to the crowd and how they feel in front of them. Lemmy always said his "looking up technique" while singing was from the club days so if people threw bottles, it wouldn't hit him in the face Thank you again Ken! I'm so glad you took a chance from a choral metal head!
Good morning from New England..I saw Motorhead and Megadeth in 1985 in Connecticut when I was 14 yrs old but my sister knew somebody who worked at the club so I got in but laid low.. And although it wasn't my first show at that age it was one of the loudest and killer shows I've seen in 38 yrs of seeing live gigs 🤘✌️
Motörhead, such a special rock band. Various genres came together to enjoy their music. Lenny once made the statement, “if we moved in the house beside you, we would play so loud your grass would die”. Now that’s rock and roll.
I was lucky enough to see motorhead several times in the late 70's / early 80's, always an event and always stupidly loud... In fact I remember seeing them at the Reading Festival in 79 and the ground shook. VERY LOUD. I'm now 60, my ears are shot all thanks to motorhead 🤘
I am not very familiar with Motorhead and I quite enjoyed it! 🎶 I was never a huge Van Halen fan but saw them a few times in concert and they were great live!
Really glad You do this shit:) Not only for the music wich is great but Lemmy was a truly a great human as well.. Everyone I have heard that has met him descibes a great person
I saw the original lineup of Motorhead. Lemmy, fast Eddie Clark and filthy animal Phil Taylor... (I hope my memory serves me correct( opening up for Ozzy Osbourne .(. With Randy Rhoads )in 1981. Loudest band I've ever heard. Lost a bit of my hearing for a couple of days. LOL. Best part is was the last concert of the tour, so both bands took turns throwing custard cream pies at each other during their respective sets. Awesome show. Unforgettable night
The Legendary Live Show here in my Hometown Düsseldorf/Germany at the Philips Halle....damn what a Night....you can see me in the Video and on the Live DVD !
I saw them live many years ago in a relatively small venue called Train in Denmark, I think we were around 150-200 in the audience. I had been a massive fan of them since I was a teen and seeing them so upclose and personal literally within arms length was incredible. Im not afraid to admit I was kind of starstruck 😂 3 concerts really stand out in my memory. Motörhead 1st but also when I saw Meshuggah in the 90s while they toured with the Destroy, Erase, Improve album. And Primus because I am a bassplayer 😐
The song is about Overkill, the title kinda gives it away 🤣🤣🤣😎 I am so glad I never had to choose between going to a Motörhead or a Ramones concert. And be lucky enough to see both bands in concert. Best live performances ever. Thnx for the review, well done 👍 Vintage audio gear.. tell me more.. running Quad ESL 57 with Harman Kardon citation 12 deluxe and acoustat x with citation 22. Nothing beats the sound of a well chosen vintage combination.
Anyone who has ever tried to cover Motorhead in a bar band knows that keeping pitch with that wall of sound behind you is one of the hardest songs in the set. Lemmy sings very high and is always on pitch. This vocal coach should try it before dissing technique
I saw Motörhead play between Dio and Iron Maiden. Dio was great, Motörhead killed it, and i have no idea what Iron Maiden sounded like because Motörhead blew my eardrums from my skull. I started wearing plugs to shows after that. Thanks Lemmy.
A Sexy Drive overdrive and an MXR boost, though i suspect the cranked Marshalls are the real key to that sound. He likes hot pickups in his guitars and he's pushing those amps *really* hard. Phil is one of those guys who's pedalboard fits in his pockets, if you Google a pic, its variations of a drive/boost/chorus/delay/wah and a weird vintage echo unit. Gotta wonder how many Marshalls Motorhead killed between them!
So, when will we get the analysis of Van Halen? 😊 Totally agree on the volume comment, and had the exact same comment to a friend in school, while listening on Ace of Spades on repeat (mind you, on a cassette!). This music should be felt to be appreciated. At the time, there are several songs where Lemmy excels vocally.
Overkill is just pure Motorhead from start to finish - or at least, it is what it says on the tin, overkill of the pure Motorhead sound and in-your-face attitude. It's some of their other tracks that pull out the sheer poetry that Lemmy could produce. Orgasmatron is a masterpiece of meaning. His voice was terrible, but it always was and always would be; it was the power, the meaning, and the sheer joy in it that kept us coming back for more. Lemmy couldn't sing, but Lemmy sang anyway. And if you didn't like it, he didn't care - he wasn't going to stop doing it. I won't say RIP because Lemmy wouldn't want peace. Instead, I hope he's having a whale of a time with those who went before.
Whats a song that literally lives up to the title? My answer is and always will be Overkill. You think you're getting an amazing ending to the song, Lemmy says NO, we go again! Your ears are vibrating, your skull is feeling like it'll come off, then we get the ending... right? LEMMY SAYS NO. He goes again and one more time before shooting you with his bass. Lemmy is, was and forever will be the embodiment of Rock and Roll. He lived a life we normal people would have found odd or chaotic, but he lived it the fullest, I HIGHLY suggest you watch the documentary on him. RIP Lemmy, you crazy bastard.
Scorpions do a AWESOME TRIBUTE LIVE playin this Live on their shows!! Mikky Dee now playin drums with the band...! I saw them on 2018 live with Deep Purple, Ozzy and Judas Priest...and the Scorps stole the Festival!!!!! you need to check it out!
I was lucky enough to meet Lem, Phil and Wurzel back stage many years ago. Legends all. But if you wanted to do a really raw live song with the legendary line up you could try this : Stone Dead Forever. The most fierce guitar sound ever. ua-cam.com/video/m64nlADfE5Y/v-deo.html
A case can be made that without Motörhead, there might not have been a Venom, or a Slayer or a Metallica, because they were the first to show that production and musical precision don't matter as much when your heart is in it. For that reason alone, they are one of the legends of Metal (sorry Lemmy, Rock 'N' Roll).
It was a bad copy of the video. The best version is not at all choppy. It was an amazing concert full of killer tracks. I recommended Whorehouse Blues from the same concert to hear a very different Motorhead. You should also check out the recorded version of 1916 for a very touching and lyrically emotional Motorhead. They only rocked 98% of the time!
I was lucky enough to see the classic Motorhead line up of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and of course, Philthy Animal Taylor in 1982, so much better than this line up tbh. Couldn't hear for a week afterwards and Overkill was like taking 💯 bodyshots from Mike Tyson!
Always loved this song, as you say the crowd were probably deaf by then, sadly we weren't, what happened to your volume? The song starts and the volume disappears, it even sounds mono. Motorhead were one of the loudest bands ever and need to be played loud. I hope you plan to play more Motorhead, but please miss Ace of Spades, it's a great song played about 100 million times on UK radio, so tired of it, "Orgasmatron" is a good choice, "Out of the Sun", "Bad Religion", "God was never on your side" are all good.
Really!?! 😠 Motorhead was rated as the loudest band in the world!!! Funny. I can understand him perfectly. Methinks you need to check your ears. Phil C. is an excellent guitarist. VERY talented. 🔥🔥🔥 Mikkey Dee is one of the best drummers in the world. 🔥🔥🔥 Lemmy was ALL ABOUT being true to himself while still giving the fans what they wanted.
YES!!! Finally!! Someone checked out other Motörhead's song and not Ace Of Spades! Thank you Ken! )))
News flash….It sounds just like AOS.
Totally agree!!!
@@Zapattack321Clean your ears then.
@@Wolf-fl4gi….Huh? I can’t hear you.
@@Zapattack321 Well duh, that's how texting works 🤔
They were Motörhead and they played Rock‘n‘Roll.
RIP
AMEN Brother.!
They stand eternal, shiny and chrome!
If Rock and Roll could be a person, that person would be Lemmy. Dude was the avatar of the genre.
Dude, he did it for 40ish years with that same voice. In Rock, sometimes the voice don't matter. It's about the music, attitude, presentation, genuineness, etc.
True!🤘RIP Lemmy
This live was recorded 2004, Lemmy died 2015, so he had many, many live shows to go until...

I miss Motörhead...
First album I ever bought 🤗 Untill then I had to steal my moms Iron Maiden and Black Sabbath albums 😂
I managed to catch Motörhead in the summer of 2015. It was a noticably tired Lemmy performing. When i first saw them in 2007 it was much much different.
@@Myndi78congrats on your great choice of mom 👍😎
I miss them too.

Motörhead were one of the few bands that could see live over and over again and never grow tired of them. Always a real blast, their live shows.
For sure. I've seen many bands over the last 40 years and the two best gigs I was at, were the two times I went to see Motorhead. Seen Slayer, Anthrax, Metallica, Nuclear Assault, Kreator, Maiden et al..........but Motorhead live is like nothing else on Earth. The power that band had on stage..............
For me Motörhead and Ramones 😁 and still not tired of listening to their albums

Erst nach der 1916 Tour würde Overkill immer das Letzte Lied beim Konzert.
Man waren die live gut.
Thnx for requesting this 🤘
The Loudest concert I have ever been too. RIP Lemmy the one the only! Motorhead the Masters of Rock n Roll.
Good morning from New England..I saw Motorhead and Megadeth in 1985 in Connecticut when I was 14 yrs old but my sister knew somebody who worked at the club so I got in but laid low.. And although it wasn't my first show at that age it was one of the loudest and killer shows I've seen in 38 yrs of seeing live gigs 🤘✌️
Live changing I bet. Your sis is cool.
I've seen them 5 times. Late 80s, early 90s. Best shows I've been to. RIP Lemmy
The greatest "just a rock&roll band" ever.
Motörhead, such a special rock band. Various genres came together to enjoy their music. Lenny once made the statement, “if we moved in the house beside you, we would play so loud your grass would die”. Now that’s rock and roll.

Say what? 😎 Worth it right? At least I thought so after my ears plopped and stopped ringing a week later 😁🤘
thats some dirty rock 'n roll!
This song refusing to end is the most rock and roll shit ever lol, its called Overkill for a reason!
Overkill is like LOTR, several false endings. Total badass song.
I am not very familiar with Motorhead and I quite enjoyed it! 🎶 I was never a huge Van Halen fan but saw them a few times in concert and they were great live!
Absolute punk/rock crossover. Very popular
I met him out back of one of the venues. An absolute Gentleman!
I think i have seen overkill 200 times live ,never gets old
Enjoyed your reaction, Thanks.
Really glad You do this shit:) Not only for the music wich is great but Lemmy was a truly a great human as well.. Everyone I have heard that has met him descibes a great person
I'm not much in Motorhead. I know few songs, but tonnes, tonnes of metal respect.
Always great to see your expert views on this great show. A fair few good songs from this concert.
3 members sounds like 5 on stage that's how you kick ass start of heavy metal they formed in 1974 love this band
I saw the original lineup of Motorhead. Lemmy, fast Eddie Clark and filthy animal Phil Taylor... (I hope my memory serves me correct( opening up for Ozzy Osbourne .(. With Randy Rhoads )in 1981.

There's 40-year vault of Motorhead music, have fun exploring it!

Got the dvd, great t show.
Give us all of your energy. Go as wild as you can. But don’t worry, we’ll give it back to you.
Something different by Motörhead, but fitting our crazy time: „1916“ or „March ör die“
If you want something deeper.
Thanx for this reaction!
Motorhead held the record for the loudest live performance.
Boy do I miss Motorhead.
Never forget!
Anyone who has ever tried to cover Motorhead in a bar band knows that keeping pitch with that wall of sound behind you is one of the hardest songs in the set. Lemmy sings very high and is always on pitch. This vocal coach should try it before dissing technique
Motörhead fans will never forget you Lemmy, they played rock‘n‘roll and turned the amps up to 11. RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie
And on a side note, check out "Orgasmatron" by Motorhead if you want to be blown away by lyrics. Otherwise, "Ace of Spades" is the goto
Lemmy is the definition of Rock n' Roll! RIP
This song has more near-endings than Lord of the Rings.
Motorhead is a feeling. No nice music. If you get it, you're in...
I saw Motörhead play between Dio and Iron Maiden. Dio was great, Motörhead killed it, and i have no idea what Iron Maiden sounded like because Motörhead blew my eardrums from my skull. I started wearing plugs to shows after that. Thanks Lemmy.
Ace of Spades!!!!
Not my type of music but still interesting to hear
Can you sit still with those bass drum hits?
The guitar was most likely going through an overdrive pedal in to one or several cranked marshalls. In the solo sections he was using a wah pedal.
A Sexy Drive overdrive and an MXR boost, though i suspect the cranked Marshalls are the real key to that sound. He likes hot pickups in his guitars and he's pushing those amps *really* hard.
Phil is one of those guys who's pedalboard fits in his pockets, if you Google a pic, its variations of a drive/boost/chorus/delay/wah and a weird vintage echo unit.
Gotta wonder how many Marshalls Motorhead killed between them!
Overkill is a song with two built in encores.
RIP Lemmy
The boys from my school were all crazy about Motörhead 👍
So, when will we get the analysis of Van Halen? 😊 Totally agree on the volume comment, and had the exact same comment to a friend in school, while listening on Ace of Spades on repeat (mind you, on a cassette!).

❤❤❤❤❤❤🤘🤘
you should check out Silver Machine by Hawkwind, with Lemmy on vocals
🤘🤘🤘
Whats a song that literally lives up to the title? My answer is and always will be Overkill.

You must teact to Eivor True love Live Sofar Los Angeles
Hers voice is out of this world
Scorpions do a AWESOME TRIBUTE LIVE playin this Live on their shows!! Mikky Dee now playin drums with the band...! I saw them on 2018 live with Deep Purple, Ozzy and Judas Priest...and the Scorps stole the Festival!!!!! you need to check it out!
A vocal technique distilled from a steady diet of whiskey, cigarettes, amphetamines and, er, sandpaper? Inimitable.
Lemmy. The man who got kicked out of Hawkwind cos of drugs...
@@matthewgodding777 Yeah. The wrong kind of drugs for the Hawks, obviously.
Lemmy is GOD, praise be
Check out SAS Rogue Heroes, Motorhead charge!
Thx, 😢meant a lot to me
R.I.P. Lemmy🥃
Wait... Dont forget that Lemmie is Jammin that base all the way through
You should check out/.... We own the night - Dance Gavin Dance. that would be awesome :)

And those Marshalls were NOT dummy cabinets either..
The only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud.
The opening line tells you everything
Born to lose live to win, lemmy kilmister .
Read his autobiography white line fever.
For me the best version of this song is from no sleep til hammersmith
Lemmy, do you want to play bass or guitar? Yeah
React to Bomber or Killed by death
If you really want more...do a reaction to AC/DC's "If You Want Blood...You Got It" The vocals are something not many can do, respectively, anyway.
Three end's 😁
I was lucky enough to see the classic Motorhead line up of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and of course, Philthy Animal Taylor in 1982, so much better than this line up tbh. Couldn't hear for a week afterwards and Overkill was like taking 💯 bodyshots from Mike Tyson!

Lemmy was ALL ABOUT being true to himself while still giving the fans what they wanted.
Thank you for giving Motorhead their due respect.
lots of black tee shirts. RIP legend.
Aaahhh, Lemmy! I hate auto correct.
Its Lemmie, you get it, or you dont
That's not pedals, save for a bit of wah-wah.... that's a marshall turned all the way up with no bass, no treble and full middle.
I know apparently Lemmy is notorious for never bathing and then he will go for interviews and what not still stinking like a week without a shower
bullshit
Kilmister was not a vocalist. He was the worst singer I ever heard.
you talked way too much during this song without saying much
why is your frame rate so off ? n stop pausing
