I remember seeing this at the time. It's what transformed my life. In these few minutes I knew I was a rocker. I'm 46 years old now & this still seems as fresh, dangerous & exciting as it did back then. Just listen to Lemmy's bass. It's pumping like an M2 Browning machine gun.
What´s that bass He´s playing???!!!looks like a Framus , could be, and ´it´s a 8 strings (doube strings) model but I think there are ony 4 on it... opinions????
I've just seen Lemmy on the BBC documentary about British Heavy Metal, and he stated that he plays the bass like a guitar and showed what he meant. I then realised he is truly original and the way he plays, if I am correct no one has ever been able to copy-remarkable and ground-breaking, no one even comes close.
You know, first time when Motörhead played here in Finland Lemmy spend night in drunk jail.That was back in -79 and he never forget it,he has been later asked and he remember.I was drunk jail -85 and it was experience those days.Just plain cold concrete floor and few other drunks same cell,fuck! I guess now days they have some kind of mattresses on the floor,don´t know about it but you never forget that!
Search "Induct Lemmy & Motohead" on Facebook and like the page! We are working to get Lemmy and the guys inducted into the R-N-R Hall of Fame!! Like it, then share it please!!!
I recall being seriously crushed seeing Motorhead on the Bomber tour in Stafford and again in Bristol, can't remember a great deal or hearing much for days possibly a week after.
You might be interested to know that Onslaught are going to be covering this on their new album. Guest appearances on the track from Phil Campbell and Tom Angelripper. Should be good.
I am going to see Motorhead tonight in Aberdeen, last time i saw them in Aberdeen was 27 years ago at the capital 16th June 1983 .....Rock Gods then ... Rock Gods now
@whitbyjet65 no offense dude, but there´s no such thing as the REAL Motörhead... these three are memorable indeed but the following line-up kicked as much ass as this one, and it goes on and on... the current line-up is awesome as well... as long as Lemmy is in, it will be Motörhead, not the REAL Motörhead, just Motörhead...
@solidsnake2709 Lemmy considers the current line-up to be the best one yet, and having seen them a couple of times now (and some of the previous line-ups), it's really hard to argue. Phil Campbell's guitar playing is getting better and Mikkey Dee is incredible. As for Lemmy... well, Lemmy is God, isn't he?
@WyrdWaysRockShow Hell yeah he is!!! (although Lemmy says God is taller)... Motörhead kicks ass wether it's the first line-up or the current one, i think that's something we can all agree on, right?
Do you think they left the guitars in the pub & just borrowed those instruments? I saw Motorhead about 10 times from 79-82 & NEVER saw Eddie with that Firebird!!
The greatest heavy metal song of all time, I don't think it can be topped for me. The riff, the bass, the solo, the drums, the chorus, the verses, the tune, the swagger.....it's all here in one perfect song. The only downside is it makes me want to drive too fast and I get whacked for a speeding fine.
Lemmy is fuckin God is The Original Bad Boy and is The Original Rocker because he lived sex,drugs and Rock N Roll before Guns N Roses or Motley Crue can even go to the bathroom by themselves or sing and play xDD
@truedude86 He was much better than Motley crue and Guns N Roses. besides, except for Slash, MC and GNR were more for the glam and money then they were for the music
lol......you're right!!...but they deserve a credit also....at least they helped to rock musci survive for a while...those a bands are good enough...but Lemmy is Rocknrolling Mastodon!!!....Arriba Lemmy!!
@truedude86 lol i dont think u can really call what motley crue does as "playing" or "singing" but hey whatever it is, it sounds bad ass. long live Lemmy!!! \m/ STRONGER THAN ALL!!!
