First Time Hearing Motorhead - Ace of Spades Reaction - A BRITISH BAND FROM THE WILD WILD WEST?! 

We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll. RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, all gone to that great gig in the sky but never forgotten 🙏

yet ANOTHER iconic British band.

Saw Motörhead 5 times and my ears still hurt over a decade later! Rest in rock and roll Lemmy, Phill and Eddie! 🤟🤟 No Motörhead no Metallica! Lars followed Lemmy and the lads around the UK and was inspired to get into the biz!

I always say Ace of Spades feels like being shot out of a cannon at 200mph. We toss around the word legend but Lemmy truly is a legend & beloved amongst his peers.

I still remember the first time I heard this song.... it was during an episode of the British comedy 'The Young Ones' and it made such an impact on me!! I've been a metal/ rock fan ever since!! God bless Motorhead & RIP Lemmy 🤘🤘

Motörhead was the bridge between punk and metal. Still sounds fresh today.

Iconic band Rest in peace to the great Lemmy Killmister ❤

This is the definition of a power trio. All three now sadly gone, all three not forgotten.

"We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll". Rip Lemmy Kilmister. I saw them opening up for Ozzy Osbourne on his first solo tour and I didn't think I was going to be able to hear Ozzy after the onslaught Motorhead subjected us to. Loudest band I've ever heard. Thanks for getting my day going.😁. Killed by Death would be my next suggestion for you. There's a whole bunch more. Have a great day.🍻🇨🇦

Lemmy was the lead singer, bassist, writer, band leader. He always said they didn't play metal, just rock and roll, but "we play it louder and faster than anyone else." Lemmy was quite legendary, a mythic figure in rock n roll, consuming vast amounts of jack daniels & speed that would kill ordinary humans. He said he remembered a time before rock and roll, saw the Beatles at the Cavern Club, was a roadie for Hendrix, was the singer on Hawkwind's only hit (Silver Machine), formed Motorhead and then was called the "godfather of speed and thrash metal". Check out the documentary on him. A quick couple of other songs to sample would be Killed By Death, Overkill, Orgasmatron, and 1916 (one of saddest and stereotype busting songs ever).

It doesn’t matter what generation you belong to or what your musical preference you have, EVERYBODY loves Motörhead. When Lemmy spits out that Marlboro and lays into that first chord, it’s lights-out. Glad you guys enjoyed it!

"We are Motorhead and we play Rock n Roll" \m/

The band that inspired the creators of Thrash/Speed Metal.

" You know I´m gonna loose, cause gamblig are for fools, I don´t wanna live forever " Heavy poetry!

Lemmy was my musical idol and justified the title 'godfather of heavy metal', RIP Lemmy.

There was a documentary made on the singer Lemmy a few years before he died, he did well to live that long

Motorhead were at the front edge of metal. They were the heaviest thing around at the time. This song is short but it starts at 100 mph and never slows down.

Lemmy and the boys were great. His lyrics can be hard to understand at times, but such a great voice and there's no mistaking him for anyone else. Great reaction.

Motorhead always referred to themselves as a rock and roll band, but they were a starting point for thrash metal because they were so fast and extreme for their time. Teenaged Lars Ulrich, future drummer and founder of Metallica, was the president of the Motorhead fan club in America and even followed them on tour for a couple of months. They were a band that punks and metalheads could both agree on, at a time when you could get beaten up for walking into a club with the wrong hairstyle. The speed metal label is humorous because they were heavy amphetamine users and the word "motorhead" was slang for a speed freak. Motorhead is probably best known for vocalist/bassist Lemmy Kilmister. He was a wild character: a roadie for Jimmy Hendrix, roommate of the head of the Hell's Angels in England, attempted to teach Sid Vicious of the Sex Pistols how to actually play bass, wrote highly successful songs for Ozzy Osbourne and other performers, and was so influential to Metallica that the band played as a Motorhead tribute band at his 50th birthday party. Every metal band that was around during his lifetime has a Lemmy story.

Motorhead's most iconic song. Next song to do Overkill.

Motorhead is Rock & Roll. I've seen them 7 times over the years, and they are my all-time favorite band.

Lead singer Lemmy was a big Janet Jackson fan and wanted to record a song with her. However, Sony prohibited him to do so. He intended to record a version of 'Black Cat' with Jackson, apparently he said "We can't always get what we want" .... you guys are knocking these reactions out of the park 😀

Motörhead is straight forward, in your face, kick you in the teeth Rock and Roll!!

Lemmy is like your estranged uncle who lets you sip his whiskey and tells road stories your mom told him not to tell you 😂

One of their most popular song, as well as Damaged Case, Bomber, No Voices in the Sky and the list goes on and on. R.I.P. Lemmy, Philthy Animal Taylor, Fast Eddie Clarke and Wurzel

You said you almost broke your neck on that one. CLASSIC!

R.I.P Lemmy, We are Motörhead, and we play Rock’n’Roll.“ Motörhead's music combined influences from punk, hard rock, rock 'n' roll and blues rock.

“That was speed at its finest.” 😂 Truer words were never said.

I am so glad, that I could watched the Godfathers of Metal, Lemmy , Phil, and Eddie in 1984.❤

Never seen 2 people more out of their comfort zone than these 2 dudes hahaha . Motörhead rock 👍

Please watch Motorhead playing "Overkill" (Stage Fright) live, what a song, what a performance.

Headbangers unite! This one is a smash! I can't listen to this while I drive...I'd end up weaving in and out of cars like I was on a racetrack.

☘️ A great British rock band … Another fantastic band to check out which sometimes are overlooked is The Cult .. try their song Fire Woman .. you won’t regret… Great reaction as always 😀👍

“We’re the kind of band that when we move in next door, all your grass dies” - Lemmy Motorhead was nominated for two awards (Emmy's?) and they were both for covers of Metallica songs.

Far and away the *LOUDEST* band I’ve ever heard. Saw them open for the Foo Fighters around 2010…amazingly loud lol. Great band that lived at “11”.

What an absolute masterpiece of metal to react to if you've never heard it.

Sadly all gone but not forgotten...

I love seeing people discovering Motörhead. Nothing really prepares you for it!

*THANKING YOU LOVELY PEOPLE* I'm commenting "Before" watching this as I was one who suggested this.! Phil for sure and Sam might put this in your workout roster.! Much respect from *Ketchum Idaho* :)

The most blissfully painful event in my life was seeing Mötorhead with Clutch in a small theatre. It was so damn loud and awesome.

Lemmy Kilmister is a legend and highly respected in the industry.

I got speed metal for you: "Fast as a shark" by Accept. Very different than their big hit, "Balls to the wall." Maybe check out both.

HAVE THESE 2 BEEN IN A COMA SINCE 1975? jUST KIDDING. The 80s is when metal peaked Here's the best... 1) Ozzy - You Can't Kill Rock n' Roll, Rock n' Roll Rebel, 2) Ratt - Wanted Man 3) Dokken - Don't Close Your Eyes, Burning Like A Flame 4) Iron Maiden - Murders in the Rue Morgue, Number of the Beast 5) Winger - Seventeeni 6) Cinderella - Bad Seamstress Blues/Falling Apart at the Seams 7) L.A. Guns - Sex Action, Electric Gypsy 8) Faster Pussycat - Babylon and On, Poison Ivy, WHere There's a Whip 9) Blue Murder - Jelly Roll 10) Queensryche - I Don't Believe In Love, Operation mindcrime 11) Aerosmith - Draw the Line, F.I.N.E., Deuces Are Wild 12) etc.

My absolute favorite band. Seen them a number of times.

RIP the band, never forgotten always with us Brits

R.i.p. Lemmy and the rest of the band.You played it faster and louder than anyone else at the time. You only played rock and it was like no one else. You are missed.

Punks and Metal Heads both love Motörhead Lemmy brings people together

Motorhead is a straight-up rock/punk crossover. Lemme (lead singer) was literally called Lemme because he was famous for saying "Lemme a fag. (cigarette). Lemme a fiver".

Always down for Motorhead! High school in the 80's!

I first saw Motorhead in about 78/79 with a fantastic all girl band supporting called Girlschool, who are worth checking out. It was Ian Kilmister ( Lemmy ) on bass/vocals, Phil ( Animal ) Taylor on drums and Eddie Clarke on guitar. All three are sadly no longer with us. RIP

So glad you guys played some Motörhead. Lemmy and the boys is what got me into Metal in the early 80's and I haven't stopped. I miss him so much....

Fun fact Motorhead was also responsible for Paul "Triple H" Levesque's The Game and The King Of Kings WWE entrance themes. And Evolution's Line In The Sand Entrence themes

Lemmy was a fantastic lyricist. Try "1916", "God Was Never On Your Side", "One More F*cking Time" or "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me". Or why not Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama I'm Coming Home" which he also wrote the lyrics for. They're all brilliant. My favorite Lemmy quote: "Just like there’s a fine line between just fishing and standing on the bank looking like an arsehole, the line is whether the fuck you know what you’re doing when you drink ’cos if you don’t know what you’re doing, you just become a terrible boring drunk. Whereas, if you know when to stop, you become an amazing, anecdotal man of the world. Which is better than being the guy having a shit in the bathtub."

This show the young ones on mtv they would have a group on every week saw them in concert very good he wrote a alot song

Lemmy was bass player in Hawkwind. The band name Motörhead is taken from a Hawkwind song of the same name.

You are actually right this IS speed metal, the very definition of it :)

A hard-hitting masterpiece of metal.

Lemme god rest his soul was a rock god. Motörhead did the theme song for the wrestler Triple H the son is called The Game. During wrestlemania when he headlined Motörhead was there to play the song live for the match

Lemmy is the Godfather of Metal.

This song is the reason I started listening to Metal. It was still called Hard Rock back then.

If you’ve never heard of Motörhead, where have you been living, in a cave 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

I went to my first Motorhead concert early 80's. I was 12 years old and both excited and scared. It was great and I watched them many times for many years. Very unique experience compared to other bands.

Anybody else introduced to this from the British television series "The Young Ones"?

Phil Taylor the drummer absolute legend the speed 🇬🇧🇬🇧🇬🇧

You guys should watch the great documentary movie ''Lemmy'' which is great for fans but especially for the learning neophyte...Would be a great Reaction ,looks like no other reactor channel ever did it..aaand you would be introduced to other important musicians and bands to later react to...🤘keep up the good work, i really enjoy your reactions.

Great reaction to a great band and song. The first time I heard them was when someone got me the cassette tape of their album Rockn' Roll. I loved the singers voice cause it was soo gritty and I hadn't heard a voice like that before and thought it was sooo cool. 😀😃😄😁

Lemmy is the godfather of heavy metal

YES!!!! RIP Lemmie ✌💖☮

Even though thrash bands combined metal and punk, Mötorhead are the one band that truly unites metal and punk fans.

its the link between punk and metal

Saw Motorhead 6-7 times over the decades. Lemmy came from Harkwind and decided to go about as far away from them as he could. Bomber was a hell of a concert a scaled model of a Lancaster bomber on stage with lemmy playing bass on top of it. Hell of a show

In that 3 min song you get a hours worth of energy

Greatest rock song ever written. Period.

Its Saturday and you two are on fire reminds me of my teenage years now changing the subject i bet that when your lady to take out the kitchen trash your answer is yes ma'am lol no worries when I get out to ranch i have no choice either not because my wife tells me to because im single and at the moment actually since I've been a custom home builder I've been married to my work regardless the two of you have a fantastic weekend im headed out to my ranch for the weekend figured id get a little horse riding in stay safe my friends👍

Wow, taking on a heavy weight, are we? Woo-hoo, turn it up! As others have commented, I too am a hearing loss victim from a couple encounters with Motorhead, the first time was very loud but was opening for Ozzy Osbourne (when he still had Randy Rhodes on lead guitar) in a large arena and we were half way down the side so it was not really outrageous BUT the second time was in the old Agora Ballroom in W. Hartford CT, we were right to the left of Lemmy, against the stage, and as soon as he turned on his amps, we knew we were in for it. A sonic wave just engulfed the floor area, it was intense, scary and invigorating at the same time, us metal heads wanted to experience them in their prime and we got an hour and a half of energy that would not stop, his bass playing is unique, serving rhythm and lead purposes at the same time. I had ringing in my ears for 3 days before it subsided and was a little bit wounded from the experience but luckily still have most of my hearing. More Motorhead! Try The Chase is Better Than the Catch, another banger from Lemmy & Co. Gone but they will never be forgotten, someone is always head banging with them. Enjoy! 🎵🎸🎤🎸🎶

The only band who was loved by the punks and metalheads too!

Speed metal is a thing, and that is also what motor head was. But they only considered themselves a rock and roll band.

I once heard someone say if a Harley Davidson could sing it would sound like Lemmy

Motörhead is one of the British bands that founded heavy metal rock (along with Black Sabbath, Judas Priest and Iron Maiden), and "Ace of Spades" is their most iconic song. Sadly, all three from this video have already passed away (RIP Lemmy, Eddie and Phil). By the way: The "ö" comes from German and is called a heavy metal umlaut. It is pronounced like the "u" in burn or the "ea" in learn. 🤘

First song I head banged to,awesome,👍🎼🎵🎵🎶🎶❤️

Love Motorhead. RiP Lenny. Next check out Helloween's- i want out. Tq

MOTORHEAD are their own genre.

I saw them in Las Vegas before Lemmy passed away. This is the original lineup and they are all gone 😪

Lemmy Kilmister from Motorhead use to always say "We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll"...... but yes speed metal IS a genre and this is classified as speed metal but it's also classified as NWOBHM or New Wave of British Heavy Metal. New Wave of British Heavy Metal often abbreviated as NWOBHM was a musical movement in the late 70s and early 80s.

Lemmy and speed is a genre all of its own.

Listen to it often and have done for several decades...

Lemmy was a true legend, held in extremely high esteem among his peers, you should watch the eulogy given by Dave Grohl at his funeral, there was an excellent documentary made about him simply called Lemmy, it's a must see.

They’ve all passed on now and they blazed the trail for tons of bands that came along in the 80’s and 90’s. All the lyrics are gambling terms.

Amazing how Motorhead go so much harder, as a fan of metalcore and deathmetal, these awesome blokes still go harder and im still very sure amongst everyone I know still the loudest band period

Motorhead legend of rock! 🤘🎸

Amazing band, first saw them in 1980 and they're probably my favourite band to this day - this is far from their best song, great though it is - RIP Lem, Philthy and Fast Eddie 🤘🤘🤘

Dave Grohl said Lemmy was the most honest perfect Rock human that ever lived 💜

had never heard of Motörhead. The song was great enjoyed

If you want energy, you have to see Motorhead live. Something like Overkill from the Stage Fright DVD (which is on RU-vid). Different lineup by then but still awesome.

Lars Ulrich chased Motorhead around and ended up traveling with them for while. So, huge influence

Seen them 5 times, late 80s. Met Lemmy at the bus once. Absolute Gentelman!

Motorhead really gave birth to thrash and speed metal.

Hugely influential on Thrash Metal for sure.

RIP lemmy , Motorhead forever!

Motörhead for Life 🤘
