you can just tell lemmy is having a ball.. that dude has lived the best life a human could possibly live.. true rock n roll from top to bottom inside and out.
The first time i ever heard motorhead in my life was when this song was on letterman.... I was maybe 9 or 10 years old and I havent been quite the same since!
he has the mic so high i think because there 1st gig only like 2 guys and a dog where watching, so he did that and imagined there was a massive crowd... this is what i have heard
Glad you cut out that fucking idiot Letterman. Lemmy is the shit. Motorhead is easily one of the greatest bands of all-time and I will be damned if I never see them live.
Lemmy has been a champion for rock n roll for a long time. He knows where his roots lie and likes to remind people that whether its slow or fast, light or hard, it is still all rock n roll.
Lemmy knows his way 'round the fret board alright. Check out the stuff he did with The Damned when he threw an awesome bass solo on their cover of Ballroom Blitz.
Actually, AdmiralHoggins, I first saw Motorhead play live in 1980. Been out for drink with Lemmy. And I've been playing bass for a long, long, long time.
Nice to see I got negative comments for this - I actually play bass. The fella at the back is playing the bass runs. Lemmy is playing over a chord - 5th fret. Watch his hands move. They don't. There's no "power chord" audible on the track, it's a walking bass line in the key of A.
He is not playing a single chord he is playing chords. he is playing the rythmn bass line which is what gives motorhead a unique sound... I play bass too and I play a ric 4001 through a 70's marshall valve rig. this is pure rock and roll ... make no mistake.
Ok, the bass, but the guy behind him in white trousres on the fender bass is playing all the runs, Lemmy must be doing his status quo thing, only 3 notes!!!!
Yeah he plays rythm guitar on bass, thats also why hes playing an octave up, to componsate for the bass normally being an octave down (notice his hands sorta lingering halfway down the neck whilst the guitarists are not)
lemmy's the only one who sings this song right other than chuck. its supposed to be a damn powerful song not some damn stoner song. fuck you stones sing it right.
duuude lemmy aint gay, if anything that article said he was bi and lemmy discarded that lemmys official words were when he called the guy who wrote the fucking thing, were 'why would i want to put a screwdriver in between a floppy disk'and frankly i agree, ruining your floppy disk with a screw driver aint a good idea.
actually that was live from david letterman,i remember watching that a long time ago.If anyone has had the chance to read lemmys autobiography tittled white line fever he had mentioned letterman was a prick to him on that show
lemmy moves so good on this one

Yep, pity Lemmy's not actually playing. If you watch his fingers, he's not playing a walking bassline in A.... he's playing a chord throughout.
Davesax1965 3 years ago
thats what lemmy does, motorhead is all about power chord bass, thats where motorheads sound and power is, listen to any of the albums.
