Along with Frank Zappa, Lemmy was one of the very rare breed of entirely authentic, rational yet hilarious yet sanity-ridden musicians the rock world has ever known and probably will ever know.
@@playinragz8183 Depends. If you live on a different planet he might not be so influencial. But on planet Earth he was pretty well known for believing in free speech, musicial creativity, groundbreaking experimentation in inventing new methods to record, mix and produce music. In fact, Mr Zappa is a man with many talents. If by not being on the radio means he is not well known, then i gotta just remind you that the tv, the radio and other platforms dont like people who REALLY believes in free speech...But everybody who sees the world for what is is knows who is known for doing great things. We just dont need radio to prove otherwise😉 Lemme and Zappa are 2 great figures and we need them today!
From the first time I see him in 1978 until the day he died, he never changed. Lived and breathed rock 'n' roll. And those loudness wars Motorhead had with AC/DC were incredible. Rattling the bones inside your body and deaf for days after the gigs it was so loud. The kids that climbed the banks of speakers at the sides of the stage must be completely deaf now. Those that are still alive. Great great days! RIP Lemmy, Phil and Fast Eddie.
presskopp religions are abstract concepts..a poke in the direction of understanding reason and finding peace or fulfillment. If music does that to you, you could argue it is your religion
Privileged to meet Lemmy in about 72 (backstage at a Hawkwind gig). Top man. Friendly, kind, gentle, open, honest...I could go on but you know it all anyway.
we liked him cause he was and is one of us. once he got any fame. he never changed. he was still the same guy he was before motorhead or hawkwind. he didn't acted like he was better than anyone. he was always in his spot at the rainbow drinking a jack & coke playing his games. and always said hello to anyone who just wanted to say hi or thank him for the music. he loved his fans for buying his albums or concert tickets. and had time for us to chat for a bit or whatever. and we will always love him for that.
Lemmy Interview 1983 1951pm 30.5.22 1965!? wow... was it motorhead prior to being out and about on the circuit.... the rocking vicars wanted to be motorhead before it became viable? i like this music. so be it!!!!!!!! let it be etc etcetera......
Glad I got to see Motörhead the times I did. Blistering music. Great shows. Every time it'd be like, holy fuck - there's Lemmy in his element - bigger than life - come out of the shows feeling like I'd gone 15 rounds and won.
Lemmy took acid and slept in a tent like the rest of us. He lived the rock n' roll life, and didn't just act it. Imagine if Lars had to sleep in a tent!
I saw Motorhead in 1981 open for Ozzy's Blizzard of Oz tour.....LOUDEST fucking band I have ever heard and fast. It was called speed metal at the time and was intense show I will never forget ~
Probably will still be called speedmetal, because of the incredible amount of speed consumed. Lemmy always said, it was the drug that agreed with him. Don't get me wrong it's dangerous. I know as well as he did. But even after 15 years and still being young, I had to stop or I wouldn't have been here to write this, in fact it's a miracle I'm alive. Thanks for mentioning the term speedmetal, I had forgotten about it. That's exactly what it was. There's few types of music you can tolerate on the stuff - motörhead is one that is totally agreeable in that state of mind, like it was made for it. 🔥Sorry about responding to an old post (two years)🔥🤛👁🤜
I saw this tour at the Palladium NYC in 81 I’ve see over a thousand concerts and seeing Motörhead open for Ozzy with Randy was a stand out experience Never Forget!!
and 32 yrs later he succumbed to cancer which i think more everyday lem actually knew he had it but just was a true rock 🎸&roll warrior and chose to keep working till he couldn't anymore..Which is what i am going to aspire to.Lem said when you retire "you're nothing" how true..💰? Wtf is that for ? You gotta keep on rockin or else...
A bit of misinformation in the first couple minutes. First of all: Lemmy formed Motorhead in 1975 - not '65. Second: the posted lyrics at the beginning are quite wrong. "Don't spread it" haha, that's funny as fuck.
Brilliant. As someone who saw Motorhead 6 times, I miss him so so much. Totally underestimated and underrated lyrically. Brings me to tears seeing clips like this 😿
Damn, I love this interview. Lemmy tells it straight and how is really is. I have been listening to Motorhead ever since I was a small child. The first time I heard Snaggletooth, it instantly became my favorite song. I am so sad that he is gone now; rock will never be the same, and we will not see his like again anytime soon. Rest In Peace Lemmy! You are loved and missed us all.
RIP Ian Kilminster aka Lemmy I met him twice I c him in a games room in picadili circus on a pinball machine very early 80s then strangely enough he signed his autograph for me again on a bench at ealing jazz festival mid 90s...real legend so down to earth.... peace to all in these times xxx
First gig I saw then at the Mayfair in Newcastle. 1998. I could hardly tell the songs apart that's how incredibly loud they played..my ears were ringing all week afterwards...will never forget this experience
Such a genuine guy. Spoke his mind and didn’t care if you agreed or didn’t. He lived his life his way and never pushed his lifestyle onto anyone. Saw Motörhead many times and they always gave their all. Met Lemmy twice in my youth and was totally in awe! Devastated when he passed and still am all these years later. A one off,there will never be another like him. Thank you Lemmy,you will never be forgotten.
1:10-1:24 interviewer : when you formed motorhead back in 1965 you said "motorhead would be the dirtiest band in rock & roll... lemmy : we are!? interviewer : ...and if we move next door your lawn will die. lemmy : it has! so cool! so funny! one of the greatest interviewees in music history! x
@@TheBigMclargehuge when he spoke, impressionable kids listen, and only used subtance that accelerated their hearts instead of making them take dirt naps. Out of the millions that listened there had to be at least 10 thousand people that said fuck that shit if lemmy won't even fuck with it. Doesn't mean they didn't die a slow liver death though, so probably, maybe, but he was right about the shit, as it's become a plandemic of zombies in most cities. Fn pathetic.
Good thing he condemned heroin, but that didn‘t even stop his „best friend“ (quote by Lemmy) Phil Lynott taking heroin. And heroin played the biggest part in Lynott‘s body breaking down when several of his organs failed in 1986, after having used H since 1978.
It's amazing how Motorhead made up of three men can make the mega wall of sound that they did. Many of the most successful band's in rock & metal are comprised of three musicians.
Lemmy was one of those guys that you just wanna hang out with. Normal dude, but very intelligent and articulate. He will be forever missed, but his music will live on.
first time I saw motörhead was the bomber tour 1979 theatre royal, nottm....then 15 more times - derby assembly.... leicester granby....donnington....hammersmith odeon....stafford....? ....but mostly at rock city....
Ohw man!!!! I miss the 80s !!! Motorhead rules!!!!! Listening to the radio nowadays is total crap!!! It's not music, it's just noise!!! "Music" for the braindead!!
That was hands down the best interview I've ever seen with Lem. And actually because of the total lack of understanding of the interviewer as the completely square headed tosspot tries to understand this new thing called heavy metal. It reminded me of meeting my in-laws for the first time. Kids whose parents don't understand metal should watch this for some insight.
A True Rock and Roll Godfather, and without the attitude and arrogance most ultra-talented musicians have. And he lived and rocked for another 30+ years. One of a kind here. Too bad Lemmy and Wendy O. Williams never had a child together. They would have created the Musical Antichrist.
