Motörhead - Lost Johnny

[brybish]

i do like the link Motorhead and hawkwind lemmy is a rock god this just sounds so right.

[MikeTheKingScorp1993]

0 faggots saw the video, which is of course a good thing.

[Gerkilmister]

yeah man! this is the funking rock!

[TheRockersway]

lemmy, yes good memories and good times.

[KevsoldLandy]

Lyrics are wrong. I'm not sure about the rest but this bit: And shall I find their underwear, From a store where no-one goes, She makes it big in dugs, On the strength of what she shows, Should be: And Sally buys her underwear From a store where no-one goes She makes it big in photographs On the strength of what she shows. I prefer the Hawkwind (original) version myself as much as I love Motorhead.

[theflashHS]

God dam i love the outro

[BeaveredAtBirth]

Can't remember the name of the song, but U2 ripped EXACTLY the same solo at 3:08 on one of their latest track !!!!

[ferrettkitt]

I've listened to the Hawkwind version and I much prefer Motorheads version.

[brybish]

i worship at the feet of greatness lemmy.

[tyebillion]

Both versions are very good.

[paulcook1985]

Real Punk sound.......!

[ifscott]

I prefer Hawkwind's version but this is pretty good and I reckon it's the best Motörhead version I've heard by a distance. Lots to like here.

[MartinK303]

This is the better version I've heard of this song, Lemmy Rocks

[dolly11001]

when maN EVER SAw both

[motormadhead13]

this is the best version-written+played by lemmy

[LauraSeabrook]

This would make a cool AMV

[ray180597]

This a very different Motorhead,LEMMY,LARRY WALLYS and LUCAS FOX gearing up in 1976,but still GREAT ROCK'N'ROLL!!

[blaineyboots]

It's 'shooting tuenol', not children, you sick fucker.

[TheChundar]

@blaineyboots I too noticed a few lyrical inaccuracies, such as, and Sally buys her underwair from a store where noone goes has been replaced with shall I find their underwair etc, then again Im a sucker for getting lyrics wrong,

[motormadhead13]

MOTORHEADS version way better than that hippy hawkwind shit

[yellowhawk451]

@motormadhead13 without hawkwind there would be no motorhead DICKHEAD



[ThazuaBlackarrow]

@yellowhawk451 There would have been a Motorhead either way. It's all Lemmy.

And without Lemmy there was no Hawkwind.

[purplefurball]

@ThazuaBlackarrow I quite agree I love Hawkwind and Motorhead

[BrecMadak]

@motormadhead13 of corpse, motörheads version is much better bro.

[honeyshot905]

I prefer the ska remake. It's just better.

[motormadhead13]

can you find the valium?

[odydimewylde]

why do you say that about hawkind if lemmy sing in both bands

[ILP49]

@odydimewylde Lemmy didn't sing for Hawkwind, he just played bass. That's why I say so.

[terr0rwolf]

@ILP49

He did the voice for a few songs, for example on "Silver Machine"

[ILP49]

@terr0rwolf true, and Silver Machine was a great song. thnx 4 reminding me about it.

[comfy1]

this is the first version so deal with Motorhead MK 1 and the fact that they are unique you Motorhead fans further down the line and guess what the best line up for motorhead is this and filthy animal tayolr, lemmy and fast eddie clarke so deal with it

[killingjokefan1]

"can you find the morphine, try to be so brief"

lost...

[ILP49]

I have to say, I prefer the Rerelease to the original because the rr is cleaner and well, fucking amazing.Nuff Said

[johntcolo]

This version sucks, try finding the original done on the Hawkwind, the Hall of the Mountain Grill....... You stupid fucks have no clue

[ILP49]

@johntcolo dude, HAWKWIND SUCKS ASS! LONG LIVE MOTORHEAD

[flameout]

I always thought it was:

Now Simon looks so evil / And you know he really tries / But every time he makes a play / That vital number dies / And Sally buys her underwear .

[mikexlong]

the guys who shelved this record for 4 years were a bunch of fucking jerks!

[beyondtheveilofdeath]

Directly from the Hawkwind inspiration here it comes the Great Lemmy singin' tunes of Acid trips...

[VitalSigns1]

Motorhead kicks ass!!!

[HeavyAcid666]

its a good cover, but the Hawkwind version is a bit better cause the spacey feel

[aaron112233445566778]

yeah i love motorhead but hawkwind version of this song owns this.

[atomic116090]

hawkwinds version is CRAP

[Moissenjeff]

@HeavyAcid666 It is not really a cover, Lemmy was a member of Hawkwind(u probably know). The song Motorhead was also originally a Hawkwind tune

[NeverAloneForever]

@HeavyAcid666 Lemmy wrote it though, right?

[alexsuchapimp]

@HeavyAcid666 it's not a cover. Both the Hawkwind version and the Motorhead version have the Lemmy singing, and he wrote the song. So yeah

[HeavyAcid666]

@alexsuchapimp It's still technically a cover due to different musicians playing it but I get what you're saying, quite frankly who cares either way its a great fucking song.

[supermasterofkungfu]

it would be so nice if lemmy and his band would play this today on one of their live-shows

[johntcolo]

Hawkwind nailed this song, of course Lenny was a key member and sang, but this version is VERY lame compared to his original take.

[unusualsuspect71]

Love the intro to this, love the lyrics too. If you're young and reckless pay attention to them. On Parole is a great album.

you got the lyrics wrong in several places.

"We're all chewing tuinal to murder our young dreams"!!

[Blowtorch1964]

it's pale and if FLICKERS like a faded movie star

by sticking thumbtacks in our FLESH...

every time he makes a play, that PATTERN ON THE DICE...

and STELLA BUYS HER UNDERWEAR...

she makes it big in PHOTOGRAPHS...

we're all shooting TUINAL TO MURDER OUR YOUNG DREAMS...

[migrainband]

lem's voice sounds different eh?

[niccopapavescovo]

the best version is by hawkwind more acid and more spacepsychedelictrippin'

[cmotherfuckyou]

@niccopapavescovo i actually like this version better for the exact same reason. the hawkwind version, and hawkwind in general, will always be more on the fantastical side of things.... eating acid, dropping out, etc, etc,..... this version drops it into raw reality and really gives it meaning. this shit is real. blunt and to the point. this is where the message of the song truly materializes.

[ILP49]

Yeah, I remember that. What do you guys perfer, Original, or Rerelease?

[iwwobbly]

Original!

[gregorsuro]

RERELEASED

[Feiermoo]

Motorhead rereleased the whole album a few years later with new recordings of each song

[JohnnyangelNIU]

Anybody know why this version is a bit cleaner than the actual Motorhead 1st LP version? (And no, I am not talking about the Hawkwind version).

These are two diff versions it seems...

[Rjeez]

And,2"She makes it big in pornograph. . . "

[Rjeez]

Shooting tuianal to murder our young dreams!It's a drug song!

[scumgrinder]

children... things ....

motorheads a drugBAND

[Rjeez]

And we're all taking tuinal to murder our young dreams!

[Wormtongue13]

Love Lemmy & will always support Motorhead, but really—the Hawkwind version makes this sound like a bedroom boombox recording. Nice guitar breaks, though. Thanks for putting it up.

[wehavejoy]

rings true

[WERMENSCH]

yeah one of my favorit songs

[lummychris]

er, these lyrics are rubbish, lol. that laddie looks so evil? and shall i find their underwear - fuck off, lol

[Vastearthorchestra]

the lyrics are hilarious

which makes them good

[lummychris]

my point is that these are not the correct lyrics...........ah, WTF lol

[WarriorOfFire]

"And cancelling the dream"

Sounds like

"And panzer in the tree" :D

Anyway, a great song and in my opinion the best on the "On Parole" album.

[F4HR3Z]

This is one of the best songs from the early motörhead years!
