  • lemmy using an thunderbird?akward

  • i think this will be my new theme song....

  • pure HEAVY ROCK n ROLL fuck!!!!

  • I'll bet his Ricky was in repair or some other misshap.

    Phil is just awesome on drums here. No other Motorhead drummer had the same style and swing. Love the way he uses the hihats and what awesome fills.

  • Listening to Motorhead thinking WON'T IT GO LOUDER??

  • Lemmy playin a Gibson Thunderbird?aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa­aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa oh yeah

  • 0:17 motörheadbangers,respect

  • The definition of a Church is,When any 3 or more gather i Gods name.....Hell's Angels,call their meetings Church.Hmmmmmm?Lemmy knows more Angels,Hells,than Priests.Guess what happens if you Molest the Child of an Angel?Hell would be a Holiday.Lemmy is with us,Gott is not.

  • @NicoEmma1 try to play as fast as Tom Araya... you cannot play Slayer if you're a funky ass-hole!!

    About Motörhead: there's NO FUCKING BASS PLAYERS IN MOTORHEAD!! Lemmy plays rythm guitar.... with a bass!

    Undertsand?

  • Is this in England? I'm asking because the audience looks like a vertical graveyard, with more stiffs.

  • Ive never seen Lemmy without the Rickenbacker. This is cool!

  • @ALBERTromano1965

    Lemmy initially played a leftover Hopf bass, then the Firebird bass a bit before settling on the Rickenbacker when he was with Hawkwind. But it is indeed a treat to see him play it in this video. And you can hear the difference. But I think he find his sound with Rick and a pair of Marshalls.

  • @NicoEmma1 Are you stupid?

  • @NicoEmma1

    e che ti rispondo a fare?

  • The King of Sunset

  • Lemmy with a Thunderbird? For a second i thought whos that Lemmy impersonator? He didnt get the bass right. That audience sucks the hind tit too.

  • @cripescate it was a Gibson event, they would'nt let Lem use his trademark Ric

  • Awesome song \m/

  • Damn i love their sound!

  • RIP Würzel

  • the bass line sounds like train

  • No one can do it like Lemmy! He's the damn man!

  • Every time before i play bass I pray to Lemmy i dont fail

  • the only way to go!!!

  • That kicked ass man!

  • Comment removed

  • am i the only one whos surprised that theres two guitarists ?? lol

  • @MrBattini wurzel and campbell were part of the Motorhead lineup for 2 or 3 albums, starting with the fundamental "Orgasmatron". That performance is from that era.

  • @Stellarmasterelite actualy 7 studio records: no remorse, orgasmatron, rock n roll, 1916, march or die, bastards, sacrifice and one live album (no sleep at all). wurzel left after sacrifice was recorded

  • @celovecernjithekid I believe he left before the actual album was released but after he finished recording all his parts, it was strange when he left.

  • Rainbow Dash, anyone?

  • @TheSoragirl71293 oh thank god im not the only one thinking of ponies here XD

  • First thing I noticed too, this is the first time I've seen a Motörhead Lemmy without his trademark Rick in hand.

  • lemmy with a thunderbird?

  • great, but where's the rickenbacker?

  • Rip wurzel

  • RIP Wurzel...

  • My favorite version of the band.

  • BEAUTYFUL!!! ONE CAT!!!

  • LAW

  • I got here via The Stray Cats tune of the saem name. I feel certain Lemmy would approve. :)

  • I was told this was filmed for a tv special and gibson were paying the bill hence no rickenbacker

  • lemmy avec une basse firebird ? c'est très rare de le voir jouer sans ça rickenbacker...

  • It may be odd....but I owe my life to this song and Lem. You could not imagine.

  • I am not that surprised to see Lemmy using a Gibson Thunderbird. His main white Rickenbacker from the old days had a T-bird pickup at the neck.

    He said in a Guitar School interview from the mid 90's that he sold a T-bird to Dimebag Darrell of all people. I wonder if it is this paticular one he's playing in this video...

  • sorry phil but wurzel kick your ass!!!

  • Lemmy with a thunderbird, haha

  • THE NEW RELIGION, THE ELECTRIC CHURC, THE ONLY WAY TO GO!!

  • @xritaly YESSSSS

  • 5 couples didnt use condoms

  • You can see how high the action is on Lemmy's Thunderbird. Awesome.

  • @fitzal77 That's the way they came from the factory. It was part of the reason I got rid of my black '91 Thunderbird.

  • very true lemmy used thunderbird in hawkwind,but mainly used a gibson sg bass for most of his time with hawkwind,it wasnt till the last few months he got the ricky,i belive the bass on this vid was his from hawkwind days.

  • @thunderider1 i think i read in lemmy's book white line fever one of the roadies dropped his rickenbacker then smashed it later or something... lemmy fired him. maybe this was around that time.

  • Lemmy using a Thunderbird! That's rare! Good video! The band is tight as concrete!

  • Just found out I am going to see Motorhead for the second time....but this time with my 16 year old daughter. Must have raised her right. LEMMY! LEMMY! LEMMY!

  • Can anyone say This fuckin rocks?!!!

  • It looks so great ... Lemmy with an Thunderbird :)

  • i believe the thunderbird was lems backup because for this recording his ric was broken or something

  • Lemmy used a thunderbird bass in Hawkwind,also had a Thunderbird pickup in the Rick he played in early Motorhead..used some other weird kind of bass in hawkwind...

  • I see, Lemmy borrowed Nikki Sixx bass for this gig?

  • WTF? Lemmy using a Thunderbird bass? That's not allowed!

  • @Chuckjagermeister He's Lemmy. He can do whatever the hell he wants!

  • 4 person don't like it. I think it was Lemmy, Philty, Phil and Wurzel. No one votes for himself, unless he's an asshole. Motorhead are not assholes, Motorhead fucking rules!

  • These Lemmy comments are flippin hilarious! Long live Motorhead!

  • I was born to rock`n`roll!!

  • Am I seeing wrong or is it Adrian Smith on the gibson guitar?

  • @mithrillllll

    Nope dude! It´s WÜRZEL!

  • @mithrillllll It´s WÜRZEL dude!

  • bravo!!!!

  • Only lemmy can make that bass look cool! Like chuck norris can make facial hair look so bad ass. lol

  • @MohawkMe999 Chuck's beard pisses on his chin when it see's Lemmy's mutton chops.

  • @Alphabex8 Hahahaha thats amazingly hilarious!!!

  • long live rock n roll

  • Great version ... but Lemmy without his Rickenbacher just isn't right.

  • @MCKRUSH Not totally because he customizes some of his Ricks putting a Thunderbird-pickup in the neck-position.

  • if phil doesnt use his les paul anymore id like to have it...

  • @metal666steve

    America is too hooked up on religion to ever understand personal freedom.

    Unfortunate, but true. Religion really does poison the mind.

  • @ExtremeBogom yawn... "religion poisons the mind, religion ruins everything, religion causes all death in the world, religion killed my cat"... some people find a lot of comfort & happiness with their religious beliefs. that has no effect on you. just quit trying to fight something you'll never be able to defeat. religion exists. always will. live with it.

    and just so you know, Americans ARE FREE 2 believe what they want. that means becoming atheist. Therefore personal freedom DOES exist in USA

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    I don't like organized religion atall, and I'm not going to defend it.

    You can't deny your country has a great deal of religious people who are trying to diminish progress, and education. Seeing jesus camp was the final straw for me. Doing that to kids is taking away their ability to think critically. That is the opposite to freedom. But you call this freedom? Freedom to do whatever the fuck you want? Have some fucking respect.

    Iceland, now that's a progressive country.

  • @ExtremeBogom my country? I'm not American. Jesus camp is ONE example. when they grow up, they have the FREEDOM to choose to believe whatever they want. THAT is freedom. all you mean by "progress" is teaching children that faggotry is okay & a perfectly acceptable lifestyle. I'm not religious. I just see that when a country becomes secular, its moral value starts to crumble.

    and anyway, so called "progressives" in Europe are traitors. they have sided with Islam.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    I assumed you were American-I can't view your profile.

    On the child's freedom of choice: I wish that were true, but unless you are taught to think rationally, and critically, you cannot think yourself out of religion. Plus religion teaches you not to!

    As for Islam? You make it sound like coming together is bad?

    Isn't that the point of progression, and unity? You seem afraid.

    I have muslim friends since way back. You'd never guess they were muslim...

    I know 1 ex-muslim too

  • @ExtremeBogom lol, the left-wing has sided with Islam because they see Islam as a way of bringing down the USA as a superpower. End of USA as a superpower = end of Israel. The political left and the religious right forming an alliance... You don't find that rather bizarre? The left wing have always professed to being the defenders of human rights. I think you'd best look at the human rights record of the Muslim world.

    I don't care if you have Muslim friends. That is utterly irrelevant.

  • @ExtremeBogom The left and Muslims have one thing in common. They both despise Israel, and the USA, but especially Israel. That is the ONLY thing they have in common. TRUE left-wingers wouldn't have a damn thing to do with Islam. I would hazard a guess that you're just another naive European who thinks Islam is 'just another religion', in the same category as Buddhism or Sikhism. You need to wake up. You, and particularly your children will pay a huge price. A muslim majority Europe is disaster.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Well I think you've already decided what my answer is lol. This conversation is over before it has even begun!

    Maybe you want the world to hate the US and Israel? It's not really clear the way you speak...

    This whole "your either with us, or without us"?, I don't like this very much.

    Reason most liberals just aren't concerned? Many are atheists. Some of the Christian people here have same view as you.

    I still defend my original comment on religion. Yes it does poison...

  • @ExtremeBogom I certainly do not want the world to hate USA & Israel. It's irrelevant whether I'm pro-USA/Israel or anti-USA/Israel. I think you need to read my comments again. I am just explaining why the Left-wing have betrayed their entire belief system, and sided with religious fanatics. It is because of THEIR hatred for USA & Israel. I do not harbour hatred for USA & Israel.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Man your an idiot, noone is taking sides here. As much as I want to live side by side, I have no desire to be muslim.

    Secondly it would be nice to know where your from, so I can atleast understand you better. Why not share?

  • @ExtremeBogom If you want to have a debate, save the insults. I have not insulted you once. Just because you feel you might be losing this discussion, or not making and progress, it doesn't mean you should resort to insults. I am from the UK.

    Did I SAY you wanted to become Muslim? All you're doing is coming out with worthless rhetoric & strawman nonsense.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Aah ok.

    I'm tired, that's why I cannot be arsed with this shite.

    I'm not losing the argument see? Infact I'm winning. My cock is bigger too. heh.

  • @ExtremeBogom You ignored every point I made & every question I asked. All you could do was respond with nonsensical rhetoric & strawman arguments. You're a naive kid. I hope one day you will wake up. I suggest you start learning about Islamism, Taqiyya, the origins of Islam etc etc... if you are to debate with someone like me. Otherwise, don't bother. However, do bother to wake the fuck up, lad. Unfortunately, the situation isn't a rosey one.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    I can't be arsed with this. I've had this conversation 2 million times over, and It's the same shit everytime.

    If your so fucking concerned about things, why the fuck are you talking to me?

    Shouldn't you be out saving the world?

    What fucking questions? You never asked me one. You just rambled on about how your right, and I'm wrong blah blah.

    I look forward to seeing you on tv.

    "luguna suprise saves the world from Sharia".

    Good stuff.

  • @ExtremeBogom Again, nothing but worthless rhetoric. It's the same shit with your type every time, I agree. You ignore everything. I mentioned ONCE that if you feel you're losing the discussion, don't resort to insulting me. That's not rambling on.

    You never once responded to one of my points, or my questions. You have just outright denied I even asked any. LOL... pretty much sums you up I'm afraid.

    You're not cut out for even a simple debate, kid. Give it a rest.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Yeah? And who gave you this debating expertise?

    I did answer to those questions, you just can't stand my answers.

    I like how you talk about me dodging questions, then go and dodge mine. Brilliant!

    So according to you - Muslims are taking over, and we need to do something?

    What then? ey?

    You realise what your saying here? You want a war don't you?

    If not, then what point are you trying to make to me?

    You have now resorted to insults yourself. Well done hypocrite :]

  • @ExtremeBogom When you use phrases such as "taking over", it makes a mockery of the whole situation. There is a possibility that Muslims could become the majority in some Western European countries, if things carry on the way they are headed. I see that as a huge problem. Now we get into why that's a problem. It makes sense to look at the Muslim world. What do we find? Religious fascism & little to no religious diversity. Why is that? Because THAT is Islam.

    I can't explain it all to you.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    You said you didn't insult me, but you did. The kid insult cut me real deep pal. Not sure I'll get over it.

    As for your answer to my question - you don't need to explain it because I already know. I'm on your side for fecks sake. I've been on your side of the argument a million times over. It get's tiring after a while, so I probably appear completly ignorant, but I'm just done with this topic y'know?

  • @ExtremeBogom You're on my side? Well that's not the impression you've given me this whole time. It doesn't matter if it gets tiring. This subject still needs to be discussed. Youtube & the internet has done a lot of good, in waking people up. If you agree with me, why didn't you say so from the start? It looks as though you want to bury your head in the sand and just hope it goes away. I'm just saying, that's what it looks like.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Yeah, and you came across as a rightwing American...

    I guess the moral here is to not make assumptions about each other lol.

    As I said, I just got real tired of the same debate.

    Because of course I always come to the conclusions that we came to. That there's no point worrying in the end because of the reasons you mentioned above.

    I took that stance from the start because I've had this convo before, but you pushed me so I played the game, but came across silly.

    Sorry.

  • @ExtremeBogom I just don't think religion, as a whole, is as bad as you're saying ("poisoning the mind"). It's the Abrahamic religions that give religion a bad rep. You can't really put Buddhism in the same category as the Abrahamic religions. I don't really have a problem with Christianity because it's been watered down to nothing in Britain, and also because I come from a Christian background (although I'm agnostic). Judaism is irrelevant. It's Islam that is the real threat.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    I completely agree with Buddhism.

    One of the only real peaceful religions. The great thing about it is the lack of deity which immediately takes that authority out of it. The I Ching is eye opening.

    I definitely don't branch that in with the rest, but I'm afraid Christianity will still get the same treatment from me.

    Pure Christianity is no better to me than Pure Islam.

  • @ExtremeBogom But that's my point... pure Christianity doesn't exist in Britain anymore. It simply doesn't exist. The Church is dead. That's why you have that crackpot lunatic Rowan Williams saying Sharia is inevitable in Britain. He's saying that, because to him, ANY religion is better than NO religion. Christianity hasn't been 'pure' for a long, long time. To the most extremist of Muslims, even Saudi Arabia is not extreme enough for them.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Yeah very true. That's what I think Europe does to religion, Takes away the silly stuff, but leaves only the good bits.

    I actually believe that will happen to Islam too (is that too optimistic?). Ex-muslims are about.

    Anyway, nice talking to you mate.

    Time for a Kava induced slumber.

  • @ExtremeBogom lol, yes, that is very optimistic. There may be more and more 'westernised' Muslims around now, but the vast majority of Muslims are still deeply religious. Even the ones who don't pray 5 times a day, still see themselves as Muslim before anything else. They can't relate to anything else. So whilst they aren't really religious, they still call themself Muslim.

    The poorest areas of the world are also the most religious. That tells me everything I need to know about religion.

  • @ExtremeBogom And I never once insulted you.

  • @ExtremeBogom No, I don't want a war, and neither do I think that is what it will lead to. Worst case scenario, mass riots, but not war. A large number of Muslims CANNOT live with non-Muslims without there being serious problems. We're already seeing those problems, and Muslims only make up around 4-5% of the UK population. Islam will continue to be put under the spotlight, and this will make Muslims think twice about their future in Britain & Europe. Islam & democracy are polar opposites.

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Right, exactly the point that is always in my head, which is why it always comes back to the attitude of being relaxed and appeared uninterested.

  • @ExtremeBogom Okay, but if you had just told me your stance on this subject from the start, we'd have saved all this fannying about and got to the point a lot sooner.

  • @ExtremeBogom And if you actually responded to my points/questions, this would make for an actual debate. So far you're ignoring everything, as I expected you would do.

  • @ExtremeBogom Pakistan, Saudi Arabia, Iran, Bangladesh, Egypt, Yemen, Somalia, Iraq, Syria, Oman... if you can tell me about the human rights records of all these countries (all of them Islamic), and to a larger degree, the entire Muslim world, I'd much appreciate that. I see you are fond of gay people. The Muslim world isn't. The Muslim despises gay people. Homosexuals have no human rights whatsoever. Want to talk about women's rights in the Muslim world? The rights of religious non-Muslims?

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    Heh. I don't need to. We all know.

    Problem here is your seeing too much "black and white" thinking.

    So muslims live in Europe - so they want afghanistan in England? Please...

    You really shouldn't talk about these people. I've lived beside them since school, just like Christians and some atheists.

    How many muslim friends do you have?

    Europe will never be muslim, or christian, or whatever

    As for gay people. I don't know any personally, but they're no threat to me.

  • @ExtremeBogom I'm afraid your strawman arguments won't be of any use with me. lol

    I never said Muslims want Afghanistan in England. What on earth does that even mean? There is a reason why Islam is being discussed all across Europe. There isn't that same discussion going on about Buddhism or Sikhism, is there?

    You are underestimating what Islam means to Muslims. You really don't have a clue. You should learn about the situation in the London borough of Tower Hamlets. Controlled by Islamists.

  • Comment removed

  • @TheLagunaSunrise

    How could you say that about gay people?

    Fuck. This is exactly my point.

  • Lemmy is God. Anybody who got to see both Buddy Holly and the Beatles before they got famous and cleaned up for American consumption has the right to say what is true and what isn't. He's stayed the same for years and years, and has stuck to his guns making Motorhead music--ROCK N' ROLL, not heavy metal--since the beginning. There's a man young folks should look up to, not Metallica or the latest crop of posers out there. All Hail Lemmy! \m/

  • Lemmy my f..ing hero. Looking forward to see you in Finland soon!!!

  • lemmy with out a ricky..yea!! he used to play this gibson thunderbird and a gibson sg in his hawkwind days it was his lastfew months with hawkwind that he got his ricky!!

  • Hawkwind is amazing and Motorhead OWNS.

  • Lemmy without a Rickenbacker bass? I think I need to lay down..

  • @APenisWithLegs .. and even better sounding.

  • @APenisWithLegs rootin a chick in the ass, its the same thing as hes duin, its diffrent but stil pretty good

  • @APenisWithLegs

    You've got to give the man credit. If it wasn't a Rickenbacker, it was a Gibson Thunderbird.

  • @APenisWithLegs he's playing a firebird bass which is an okay change for every once in a while.

  • @westprice the bass is a Thunderbird, the guitar version is the Firebird

  • @APenisWithLegs I know.. there's that sickly faint feeling that comes with such a sight...

  • @APenisWithLegs I know ! that is pretty strange seeing Lemmy play a different bass.

  • @danthegreaser71 i personally think he should just stick with rickenbackers. he dont look right otherwise, like angus young and sg's.

  • @patrickdasimpkin Lemmy's always loved Thundbirds, but felt the necks were too long.. I think that's partially why he moves his front strap pin to the neck heel.

  • @JacoThe2nd It has more to do with the balance of the bass. Thunderbirds are notoriously neck-heavy (I've had two). My '87 'Bird had the strap button on the 'horn' and it was a bitch to keep the thing from 'diving' (for lack of a better word). My well-worn '91 had the strap button on the heel and was better balanced.

  • @mortensen1961 Oops, I forgot to add "on his Rics"... Yes I understand the balance issue with Tbirds, I'm not that much of a n00b! I just forgot to finish my sentence

  • "the new religion the electric church" that's a jimi hendrix reference

  • @NewMusicSpacequake oh yeah how is that?

  • @bigczech7 "We play our music, "Electric Church Music," because it's like a religion to us.

    Jimi Hendrix to Hugh Curry of the CBC, 1969

  • @NewMusicSpacequake Wow thats cool, that was always part of my favorite lyric in this song. I heard Lemmy was one of Jimi's roadies for a while. Actualy I heard him talk about it in an interview. Jimi Hendrix GOD OF GUITAR.

  • @AnonymusInternets Yea,cuz we all are born to lose.

  • anyone know when the LEMMY movie dvd is out?the movie is done, im just waiting for it ot go on dvd.

  • Comment removed

  • a rare video i thnk seeing lemmy with out a rickenbacker...since his hawkwind days

  • It's strange see lemmy without the Rickenbacker...

  • Phil Taylor is my hero

  • he thought it, wrote it, lived it and has stayed true to it.

  • I wonder if lemmy sang with his head tilted back for the DRAIN?? If ya know what im saying.

  • "I was born to Rock'N'Roll , it's everything i need"

    That's all Lemmy is !

  • this is motorheads best lineup .BADASSMOTHERFUCKERS!

  • Its funny, watching this now; Why did Motorhead ever need a second guitarist?? Nothing against Wurzel, but watching them with two guitars PLUS Lemmy, its like tits on a bull, you know?? They made great albums during this period; don't get me wrong. But if Wurszel decided to leave, I guess there was no need to replace him??

  • @DevSodDribble Often wondered the same thing, much as I like Motorhead in all their various guises. Especially when the two guitars are just playing exactly the same chords, as was so often the case.

  • @nanarockband The story goes that after Fast Eddie and Brian were gone, Lemmy found two guitarists that he couldn't choose between, and that's when Motorhead became a 4 piece.

  • I was watching a video, where they were interviewing dimebag darell. Darrell was telling a story about meeting lemmy at the rainbow, and leemy said he needed some money, and offered dimebag one of his basses.

    Dimebag bought a "Gibson Thunderbird " from lemmy. Im guessing its this one.

  • This IS rock'n roll!!

  • Lemmy is god!

  • Don't you listen to a single word

    Against rock'n'roll

    THE NEW RELIGION

    THE ELECTRIC CHURC

    THE ONLY WAY TO GO!

  • Theres only one skin basher for Motorhead and thats Philthy Animal!

  • Comment removed

  • @TimmaRnR Nor have I!!! That rocks!!!

  • I accidently deledet this...but Lemmy still kicks ass with a T-Bird;)

  • i love the music..the band...and the thunderbird xD...

  • where does lemmy get that bullet belt i so want 1 but i cant find em

  • I can't believe that I saw Motörhead last year! My favorite band :-)

  • ROCK'N'ROLL The ELETRIC CHURCH! Accept Lemmy as your only and sufficient saviour! MOTORHEAD IS THE ONLY RELIGION!!!!!

  • The electric church als hij dan op de spreekstoel staat ben ik vaste klant .... Whe where born with the hamer down .... Dan maar hell ain't a bad place tho be ... om in de rock and roll te blijven ...ook altijd top de mannen van AC/DC

  • i've never seen lemmy play anything besides a rickenbacker

  • @weathered79 I think he plays a T Bird in the Eat The Rich video too...he uses a ceramic TB pick up in his RICs as well. The bridge pick up maybe? I am going from memory...

  • @73mandala flares, you mean as in bell bottom pants?
