[verbusen]

[sorinz87]

[silfeus]

[polmno210]

[rockerreinerchander]

This is the best Rock`n`Roll Band for ROCKER MC´s!!! ROCKER-GREETZ!!! Reiner

[kospfogo]

To which 2 are the Lemmy bass ... Enough!

[myzticc66]

Great vid! that rocks!

[JackDaniels267]

Letterman is one of those pricks who thinks everything he says is hilarious. Fuck him. Lemmy is GOD.

[immagowinnutts]

lemmy is the baddest mutherfucker in rock n roll. great video.

[Sniffer194]

Christ, Lemmy looks so young! And his hairstyle... xD Awesome song, reminds me of 60'.

[somedudeinva]

I was ready to laugh at it, but actually it was damn good.

Pretty sure Letterman has no idea who they are.

[USI1993]

That's awesome dude!!!

[theonlytruepunk]

Wow! That is impressive, Dylan. By any chance were you in the Senior Special Olympics this year??

[tocaracer06]

would your screen name actually be drunkenover instead of drakenover?

[ghostdog1987]

You kinda missed the title of the song, its not Johnny B. good. Its "Let it rock" they sound exactly the same but the lyrics are different :) Anyways, Motorhead rocks \,,/ Thx for posting!

[bustedup]

fucking hell! thats how babies are made man

[kassemir]

Wow, that was wierd, i never knew, that Lemmy once had short hair, wauw, i'm not saying he looks bad, but it's sure as hell a different look.

[deathdealeroen11]

so does your fucking mother

[brithool]

this band is great

[poriluk]

yeee

[takedownroddy]

No other band in the history of rock and roll is owed more than Motorhead, and no man more respected than Lemmy Kilmister. Learn up and have some respect.

[guns2roses2rock]

no other bassist/singer invented a beard, either. xD

[chrismess420]

If you knew good music you wouldn,t talk shit about Lemmy or MOTORHEAD!!! As far as kids go what are you twelve?! Sounds like your a commercial rock fan little faggot bitch!!!

[chrismess420]

Sounds Like callaprima's a Nancy-boy that needs to go watch a couple of Mr. Rodgers neghborhood episodes to make himself feel better!!!

[Sholda1]

Please sir? eat a dick.

[gonzalosanjim]

the only joke here is you...go watch some pet shop boys videos, you will enjoy them more than this. lemmy rocks!!!

[tubekills]

_callaprima_

u can suck my 3" dick any day. fucktard

LEMMY TRUE ROCK N ROLL GOD

[papstbenni]

the pianist rocks^^

[VanHowle]

Who beats Lemmy? Nobody!

[HernanZitoZin]

foda pra caralho como sempre..

[ratdog1forever]

hahhaa

[ShuguProductions]

I Find it funny how they have 2 bass players. One to actually play bass and Lemmy to just play chords on his bass.

[000steelandstone000]

holy shit i cant get enough of this version!!!!! it's addictive!!!

[chayzor]

Lemmy must play with the letterman Crew, poor Lemmy^^

[glamdring999]

If it's too loud, you're too OLD!

[Svampb0b]

1. the song is called let it rock. and 2 fucking kickass!!!! motörhead for ever

[Ibanezsr905]

AAAHH!!! wheres lemmy!! i can hear him but i cant see him!!!

[mskerripa]

Great job!!!5*****!!!Thanks for sharing!!!

[juanpim]

two bass?

[dreadphingsk8]

yup 2 bass hahaha

[hellfire978]

what did Lemmy do to his hair?

[beerymon]

As Lemmy often says when playing live........."we are Motorhead we play proper rock and fuckin roll "

I think that says it all ...ermmm ...it does ..

[wadems]

Beautiful!!

[RapterX]

Lemmy looks more bad ass here then ever

[chestrockwell79]

MOTORHEAD KICKS ALL ASS. I've watched this vid a million times...but it ain't Johnny B. Goode, folks. It's "Let It Rock" by Chuck Berry. Letterman says it in the intro.

[deadlyfork]

haha lemmy looks like he wants to kick someones ass when he walks out.

[Gorthjiin]

what did Letterman say in the first 11 seconds... is that any human speach/language (goddamn, my english is so bad), or just "hmalnnananlaflgh"; is he an idiot/debil/disabled?

[Gorthjiin]

what the fuck is wrong with Letterman?

He looks and acts like a drug-fucked-up piece of shit.

[derwolf666]

It's pure it's rock. Have to love it!

[mmasny]

it isnt johnny b goode. change the title pls

[motorheadrules1988]

It's not "JBG", it's "Let It Rock" :/ Not bad though ;]

[zk316]

damn, did Lemmy have a look that killed when he came from behind after Letterman's botched introduction...LOL

[psairanen]

Lemmy is "letkeä" if you know I mea...

ps

[deltic21]

Letterman made himself look like a dickhead on here... (oh exuse me, I meant he proved it). No research into the band, no idea what the album is called. Like I said... letterman is the dickhead he will always be and Lemmey (even with half his band missing) will always be the god of pure rock and roll.

[Guran111]

can´t hear what he sings the music is to loud for his voice

[McShamus001]

not johnny b goode, it's let it rock.

[miisu]

I have always loved Motorhead but this is terrible.Very bad move.My grandma rocks harder than this crap.

[Motorheadbanger01]

i dont think so!!!! have u heard chuck berry's?

[phoule613]

Letterman is and will always be a rude fucking prick. Lemmy should have kicked his ass. I'd pay to see that.

[oldbag222]

lemmy looks pissed

[Motorheadbanger01]

the album clarly sais 1916 letterman...

And did they do 1916 because they didnt have a drummer? because most of the songs dont have drums?

[VanHowle]

No PHILthy was on the one.

[SwampDaddy7]

Rock N' Roll at its greatest!

[4skinmasseure]

The other bassist is doing the walking bass notes.Brit rock at its best!

Go the boyz!

[tjawerbinich]

bullshit! the original its better!

[37952010171]

This is FUN. It`s a compliment when other bands do covers of a song. This is their version. Spells Motorhead all the way

[mulletman42]

2 bassists? weird

[mkschreder]

Thats not johnny b goode, it calle "Let it rock" ;)

[Codeman1215]

OMG! David Letterman had brown hair! XD

[codmi]

fuck! yeaaaah!!!

[DaveStoertebeker]

someone here said "johnny b goode -> lemmy be god!" ... i liked that...

[Thorgal20]

Motorhead kicks ass. Lemmy is fucking great rocker. As he awlays says We are Motorhead and we play rock n roll. Hell Yeah. That's fucking true. BUt he changed words? Because in original there is in chorus " Go Johnny go. Go johnny go... johnny be good" Or sth like that.

[Peddant]

It`s called "Let it Rock" as several ppl have mentioned.

[supernaut16]

Didin't Marty McFly write this shit?!

[qtkermit]

lol... no he didn't he just played it in a rock show :D

[philthyrobbo69]

@qtkermit

That was johnny b goode, not let it rock

[qtkermit]

@philthyrobbo69 no, it's not :)

[philthyrobbo69]

@qtkermit

i meant on back to the future, i'm aware this is let it rock, meant to reply to the one about this being played by marty on back to the future

[meharidude]

@qtkermit

no, Marty played Johnny B Goode, which is a very similar song, but not the same.

[qtkermit]

@meharidude yeah, i wrote that comment back in the time when the title of the vid was still johnny b goode

[Sup3rColt]

:'(

[Sup3rColt]

Did they sing this in on a Album?

[YouIdiotAre]

no they not

[chicodelacalle77]

Probably the most versioned song on rock and roll

[DealcQ]

MOTORHEAD!!!!!!!! HELL YEAH!!!

I like Motorhead and i play rock n roll aswell :)

[rickson1400]

A great song played by a great band !

[orangeskate888]

that piano dude, rocks so hard!

haha

great vid

[theonlytruepunk]

He rocks even with a dildo up his bum...

[F1JaguarFan]

very nice

[RobbyTheSheef]

Not only is this a great cover, but also, it shows that they have a great deal of appreciation for the musicians that paved the way for them.

[papplacika]

1000 % ROCK'N'ROLL !!!!!!

[sonicdeath10]

lmao god damn Lemmy and his bass chords. It's pretty sweet, though.

[runtodemhills]

haha, yeah. his hands never seem to move from that position! XD

[scorpicoo]

geil geil geil, Lemmy the best

[pabloguitar1]

david letterman doesn't deserve motorhead in his stupid fucking show. they fucking rock

[jamrun]

I see what you mean, but Paul Sheaffer kicked ass, and at least it exposed them to people who needed to hear them but didn't know it!

One of the only bands who could capture the intensity of the original, if not more so.

[pabloguitar1]

i guess i agree

[amrein]

great solos !!

[hellstudios]

wow u dont notice how much someone aged untl u look at a photo from thm almost 20 years ago

[titanium53]

johnny b goode. lemmy be god

[yingyang2006]

hahahaha i clicked on this actually expecting to hear motorhead preforming " johnny be good " and then i hear " let it rock " oh well not a total disappointment still a good song.

[doubleslottedflaps]

let it rock is the name of the song, bob segar does this same song on the live bullit cd,BUT LEMMY KICKS ASS WITH!!!LET IT ROCK!!!

[verticalteen]

this song is called let it rock, not johnny be good.

But it ROCKS\m/

[omegajimzzz]

It's what I need to hear at the end of the day.

[Panteramageplan]

Motorhead is a Legend,LEMMY IS THE KING OF ROCK AND ROLL

[toy77fin]

Yeahs!That Lemmy for sure...It`s rock`s like a hell...

[loppaa80]

jag känner lemmy hen e skiiiit cool

[lehnberger]

jaaaaaaaaaaaahhhh!!!!!!

today are motörhead in munich!!!!

and i'll be there!!!!!!!!!

[markc51569]

lemmy is god

[jasonthebiker]

Lemmy's cool

[Rockisaculture]

Rock'n roll baby ! It rocks !

[SkyscraperJohnson]

Everybody's scrambling,'n'jumping around

Picking up their money, tearing the teepee down

Foreman wants to panic, 'bout to go insane

Trying to get the workers out the way of the train

Engineer blows the whistle long and long

Can't stop the train, gotta let it roll on

[SkyscraperJohnson]

Later in the evening when the sun is sinking low

All day I been waiting for the whistle to blow

Sitting in a teepee built right on the tracks

Rolling them bones until the foreman comes back

Pick up you belongings boys and scatter about

We've got an off-schedule train comin' two miles out

[SkyscraperJohnson]

In The Heat Of The Day Down In Mobile Alabama

Working on the railroad with the steel driving hammer

Gotta make some money to buy some brand new shoes

Tryin' to find somebody to take away these blues

"She don't love me" hear them singing in the sun

Payday's coming and my work is all done

[SkyscraperJohnson]

This is one great performance my lemmy and motorhead...I would Like to see it revised in todays time...would be cool!

[loc81]

Im sure this has been said a million times but its "let it rock" not "johnny b goode" Even Letterman days it at the start!!!

[smedebeast]

lots of treble and lots of distortion...sounds good if you do it right (like Lem)

[Kryonus]

Why is lemmy playing a bass like that? It looks like he is holding chords or something and when he is strumming he HAS to be hitting every string...

and everytime I do that it sounds like SHIT...

[bradtsoumbris]

Obviously, you know nothing about Lemmy, he always plays Bass like that (rythym Bass you could say), it's part of why Motorhead is so unique, did you know he plays his bass through a Marshall guitar amp.

[buddhastar65]

i agree that lemmy is god, but God created the platypus... so i guess everyone has an off day.

[alidunwoodie]

hahaha check out lemmy's emo fringe! so he invited, how ironic!!!

[kjetin99]

Paul Schaeffer saved the whole shit! Glue and porridge are the words for this version!

[bradtsoumbris]

Opinions are like assholes, we all have 1

[ExzessivMito]

That guy on the keyboard rocks!! :D

[darylegoh]

the host of that show was a son of a bitch

[PinkFloydJackson]

Why does everyone murder this easy song

[JustinJeanGuyFaubert]

lemmy is god!! all others BOW

[DanTGF]

The guy on Keyboards was Paul Schaeffer...the same guy that fronts Lettermans band still (but less hair now).

Lemmy is God.

[SoakyBeaver]

That guy on the keyboard rocks!

[Joylevinstein]

Is this the 80's? Lemmy's so hot

[dengar4000]

1991

[Gyvero]

Terrible! I belive it was after this Lemmy svallow his flute.

[TheRealPoppen]

Good evening rock 'n' roll lovers. This song is called Let it rock and nothing else. Cheers from Sweden!

[digitaljeez]

rock'n'rolll at its best !!!!holy shi+

[willbillill]

the was sic

[fattytwo]

No its not Johhny B Good. Its actually let it roll. You might know it better by Mel Mcdaniel...

[PFB1994]

I don't think that was Johnny B Goode

[SkyscraperJohnson]

Freakin awesome!

[foxstreetmen]

mai nada

[Hasselhoff2007]

that fuckin rules a young lemmy! and letterman!

[HEMELINGS666]

LEMMY IS AWESOME!!!

[maznebpes]

i think lemmys voice is underestimated if you go to my space for a tribute band called motorkill play no class even though there not bad he cant reach the high notes like lemmy i think people think its easy but lemmy is unique

[Sioux2]

Alright - guy high on cocaine playing the piano. This one doesn't swing for me! Apart from the piano asshole they played too slow anyway.

[Kragnorak]

That's Artie Fufkin. Artie Fufkin from Polymer Records? Hi, that's Artie Fufkin...

[Jpgunshooterstar]

god lemmy looks young in this

[anonymousfarewell]

one of the most unlikely things to hear ever =P and Paul Schaffer looks like hes having the time of his life

[stretchrgj]

Paul Schaffer's AWESOME dudes!! He's also a pretty well accepted blues player, he was in the Blues Brothers 2000 movie in the big blues band at the end with clapton / BB King / Jimmie V / the skunk / etc

[LucHBZ]

Who is the pianist ? Thanks

[starbuck26]

The pianist is Paul Schaffer. He's been the head of the Late Night band for years and often sits in with guest bands on the show.

[LucHBZ]

Thanks

[chaperon31]

Lennyyyyyyyyyyyyyy!!

[nprince02]

leMMyyyyyyyyyyy!!*

[deadlydunc]

hahaha

[4d4jooz]

wow....just.........wow......

[hotrod2314]

dude no1's bending ur arm to watch this. oo and the original may be better but look at where chuck berry is now.

[cooldude391]

ouuuuch original kicks this version fuckin ass

[xms32]

What is he playing on the bass? He doesn't even look like he knows how to play it. First time I've ever payed attention that close.

[stretchrgj]

lemmy's just playing the root note of A, D, and E, with a few little link-notes in between changes. The dude at the back is the real bassist, Lemmy does it more for image really, though the sound of Lemmy in this song is well good as usual.

[xms32]

Thanks for the info. I didn't even notice the other bass player. That explains where all the notation was coming from. I dig Lemmy's stuff, just never payed attention to his bass playing before.

[emadsen]

This is great. Great song. Great performance!

[vaiman777]

Ok Paul, go have a martini...and tell everybody you jammed with Lemmy.

[Creeping66]

wow!

:O

[pencilman12]

[DallasStar1999]

The piano playin motherfucker is Paul Shanklin-from the Late Show.

[monkeyfromhell]

You mean Paul Schaffer?

[DallasStar1999]

[r4m0n0]
