this was the fastest, loudest and most beautiful-ugliest band back then...and now some little cunts like "Tokio Hotel" are running around and claim to play rock n roll ...
To all the idiots complaining the crowd are "pussies" etc: This is from Top Of The Pops on BBC1 in England, 1979. The audience rarely knew which 6 bands would be performing each week, and it was hard to get tickets, so it was impossible to target who you'd get to see. Therefore, when someone like Motorhead got a slot, it was almost guaranteed there would me no metalheads there to enjoy it. In short, F*ck the crowd, watch MOTORHEAD, and be thankful that footage like this exists at all!
@zepromz That's part of the beauty of it all. It's so fucking ridiculous, because it is rock and roll. You never know when it is just gonna hit you over the head.
Wow folks, the crowd seemed lost and confused. As if they were in the wrong concert or something. Awesome song though as well as "Iron Fist"and the "Ace of Spades"
@Blastomath hey if they were a bunch of pretty fuckers, would people rock out cause they're fucking epic, or just stand there in awe of Lemmy's manliness? XD
I agree...Motorhead was not the same for me when Fast Eddie left...He did write them guitar parts and melodies along with Lemmy and Philthly Animal Taylor.... I miss them days when me and my friends would pop on any of the old lp's at the time when they were coming out...!!!
They cut on the original record to this vid, probably to sell on television. Or just a dumbfuck did these long time ago, and spread around the net. But Motörhead never did a playback. If they have got a reason to do this is right now, because Lemmys an old fart. But no because they crank their shit up and play. They dont give a wet shit about Lemmys voice and never gave, they are the dirtiest loudest fuckers around the world.
@theoneandonlyjoeg Went to the official justin beiber baby vid on vevo. Over 300 million views on this little no-talent wick prick! Funny thing is that the video has over 500,000 "dislikes" and over "300,000" likes. Shows that the majority of people out there still appreciate real music done by real musicians.
In 5 years justin beiber will be forgotten and Lemmy will still be GOD!!!!
it's amazing, years of drugs, sex & kick ass fuckin rock n roll have taken many great musicians from us...but for both the God Lemmy & the Godfather Ozzy, it's just made them stronger..
if drugs, sex & rock n roll can't kill these guys, i doubt anything can...and so it should be >:D

God Lemmy looks so young... times sure flies fast! This was in 79... i saw they live in 2010 and i swear they had the exactly same energy! Lemmy is GOD!
One of the first songs to have double bass drums all the way through!
Sure, drummers had been playing two bass drums since the early 1950s... but mostly for drum solos and maybe behind the guitarist in the guitar solo.
But this was double bass drums from start to finish as the foundation for the song - every metal does it now, but it was pretty unusual back then... That is where the name comes from, the producer thought it was 'overkill' ;-)
haha they r not playing in this vid i no this because the durmmer is playing nothing and when the sound of the crash cymbal sounds the drummer doesnt hit it and they never used to play original music on totp back then they used to mime it but awsome song neways
I remember watching this on top of the pops in 1979. My dad was so impressed that he bought the single the next day. When he played it at home he instantly dismissed it as a load of rubbish and threw it away. But for me (aged 12) the lights went on; I rescued the 7" vinyl from the bin and haven't looked back since. This is quality!

like in spot they play instruments real?? lol only they fake at spot cuz you dont wana bad quality?? u can get it if they start play song and its going to be like in live so....
Dont ya know the program top of the pops(this is recorded from there).None of the artists which played there played really live. It always came from the tape. (As I can remember Maiden is the only band which has played there for real 'cos they refused to play from the tape.
saw them last night but the start, stop antics on stage was a joke. Lemmy said his voice was fucked. fair enuff but punters want a fucking wall of noise, not a doctors fucking report. saying that, it was fucking great!
I saw Metallica in Nashville 2 weeks ago and Lemmy came up on stage. They played Damage Case and Too Late Too late. Im jealous of you though to see the whole band. They come to the Tennessee area that often. mOTORHEAD ROCKS!
overkill tour 1978 liverpool empire-i was there,anyone else out there remember that tour?motorhead got banned from playing there again-dont know why !!!
Best guitarist that Motohead ever had. They definitely lost a bit of their "raw" quality when Fast Eddie left the band to create Fastway. It's a shame that they were never able to convince him to return. Or perhaps they didn't want him to return, who knows... but I love Fast Eddie's sound. StratoBlaster..!!!
@Tessmage I was with this for a while, but after I listened to Everything Louder Than Everything Else, particularly Killed By Death, I changed my mind.
top of the pops.. top pop and the rest, lol a crap programme for disco and nice shit, the bands were kept in a room for around 6 hours before they got on, no real output for these guys (and others) out there apart from hard gigging up and down the country, john peel etc etc.. at least germany had bremen beat club music laden etc, fuckin great shows, check the rest of the bands on these shows.. man how awful..!
The whole band are, the only band to not play with a backing track on Top Of The Pops is Iron Maiden, But to me Motorhead still kick ass, MOTORHEAD FOREVER!!!!
This is what got me into Motorhead.I remember being about 15 years old when i saw this on TOTP and went and bought the Overkill album the day after.You've got to remember at the time metal wasn't as extreme as this.
Remeber this coming on Top of the Pops in 1979 - like it was fast as sh*t then, never heard anything like it on TotP. We knew they were on that night, I mean not like now where ya can get anything so it was a big event - motorhead on telly tonite ! so a few of us were at me mates house watching the sh*te before this came on for what seemed like an age, then it came on WOW. We all jumped up freakin out headbangin the f**k outta each other. Like it was a major event looking back.

Remeber this coming on Top of the Pops in 1979 - like it was fast as sh*t then, never heard anything like it on TotP. We knew they were on that night, I mean not like now where ya can get anything so it was a big event - motorhead on telly tonite ! so a few of us were at me mates house watching the sh*te before this came on for what seemed like an age, then it came on WOW. We all jumped up freakin out headbangin the f**k outta each other. Like it was a major event looking back.

This is one of motörhead songs that chance the world! Later Slayer, "Angel of Death" did same thing...

Es gibt keinen vergleichbaren Song mit 3 vorgetäuschten Songenden! Danke Lemmy und Motörhead!

1979 was great year for music. And to think that Lemmy still rocks non-stop in 2008 is amazing. Thanks for posting this video.
