Phil Taylor’s Grave - Motorhead Famous Graves 

I'm 57 now. Been a metalhead all my life. I still to this day have a hard time seeing Motörhead as anything other than Filthy, Clarkey and Lem. These guys are pure legend. Motörhead.... Forever!!!

Knew Phil personally, wrote a magazine for motorhead in America , motorhead , appreciation , club of America. He was a great guy , funny guy, always liked a joke, he was always good to me, everyone has there ways about them and a lot of people are misunderstood, now all 3 of them philthy , fast Eddie , and Lemmy are rocking again in heaven, God bless you Phil , see you soon mate

Philthy Animal was such an amazing drummer and a real comedian when he wanted to be. His double-bass drumming on “Overkill” will always be legendary

Strange thing is Phil died then eddy Clarke then lemmy with in a few year between them I think motorhead were at there best when those 3 played

What a stunning cemetery - a fantastic final resting place. RIP Phil Taylor.

We knew Phil quite well before he moved to LA. he was a lovely guy, sensitive and an incredibly funny man. He came to see us play in California sadly he was unable to play Ace Of Spades with us. We have some great stories and good memories of Phil that will not be shared on here 🖤😊🔥 x RIP brother x

The pride of Derbyshire Top man who changed lives for millions,but will never die....The 3 were awesome MOTORHEAD ENGLAND

Phil Taylor left a £1.3m estate in his will, mainly to his two sisters. The drummer, known as Philthy Animal, died aged 61 in November 2015 from liver failure. His sisters Linda Taylor-Fry and Helen Greenwood received the bulk of Taylor’s estate after he publicly acknowledged the existence of his wife for the first time. The will revealed that Taylor had married Thera Ann Johnson in 2001 but that she left him several weeks later. Knowing that he was ill, Taylor hired a private detective to trace Johnson for a divorce so that she would have no claim on his estate. Although detectives were unable to trace Johnson, Taylor was granted a divorce two weeks before his death on the grounds of their long separation. Fantastic video Paul.

Saw Phil, Lemmy, and 'Fast' Eddie on their Bomber album tour of late 1979 play at Portsmouth Guildhall. Two days previously AC/DC played at the same venue and their sound reached 116 decibels, Motorhead were impressed, but did better by getting up to 118 decibels, I was virtually deaf for 24 hours after! To be there and see and hear Lemmy, Phil and Eddie do the track 'Overkill' live at 118 decibels was a truly unforgettable experience.

Just up the road from me, often call in to pay respects to Phil.Second band I ever saw live at Derby Assembly rooms.later on in life I did some local crewing at Rock City in Nott'm and got to know the band a little, all genuine , humble, crazy gentlemen really. R.I.P PHIL, LEMMY and FAST EDDIE.

I remember the first time I heard them thinking, wow they are loud! 🥺 Then as I got a little older, and more musically savvy, I heard them again and thought, wow, they are LOUD!😛 RIP you Philthy Animal!

Awesome! One of my favourite bands and his grave is literally 2 minutes from my house 😃 My drumsticks may even still be there 👀

I first discovered motorhead when watching the young ones! My dad had it all on video! Motorhead performed on an episode! Great band! Off topic but god I miss Rik Mayall :'(

I live 10 minutes away from that cemetery, I can’t believe it. I saw Motörhead in 1979 aged 15 at Sheffield City Hall, changed my life forever and I still listen to Motörhead every day. Forgotten how many times I’ve seen them live, different line ups etc. A special band and influenced so many others. Great video thank you. 🤘

I worked on the Iron Fist tour. I came away with great memories and permanent tinnitus! Phil was very particular about his drums. If he saw you carrying more than one at a time, he would go mad!

Phil was being cared for by his sister in Derbyshire, when he died. He was a true one off!

Thanks for making this. Phil was a good friend when he lived in L.A. The perfect gentleman, wise counselor, great jokester, a generous and loving man. One of the greatest drummers, and a good friend to all. RIP Phil.

I remember seeing Motörhead at the palladium on Hollywood Blvd during the iron fist tour ( this was the iconic show where fast Eddie quit the band and In Stepped Brian Robertson ( ex thin Lizzy on lead guitar ) I knew it was Brian Robertson right away but he looked as tho he did not fit he looked like a punk rocker short red hair the fans also gave mr. Robertson a very very unkind welcome to the group i was in the very front right against the stage ) standing room only general admission seating they was throwing coins , a shoe , a hair brush , at mr.Robertson the people there had no clue who he was after the show I had went back to the bus parked along side of the venue to meet the band and meet them I did I talked to mr Robertson before he got in the bus and told him how shameful the way he was treated him on stage and how huge a fan I was of him and asked him to autograph my Motörhead LPs I told him I did not know he was in the group ( this was way before the inner net ) and asked him had he planned to record or tour again with Motörhead he said yes it was discussed to record a new LP and possibly a tour later the next year so I had asked him if he came back to California is there anyway I could get him to autograph my thin Lizzy stuff and he said yes i had told him I was waiting for Phil Taylor and lemmy to autograph my stuff also that I was going to wait for them to come out he said to me we’ll come on the bus as my guest and wait for them there he also gave me a free Motörhead tee shirt I was shocked so he invited me on the bus and 35 minutes later here came lemmy and Phil Taylor onto the bus it was pure magic lemmy and mr Taylor was extreme gentleman and autographed every thing I had LP’S and tour book wow i was blown away was a sad day to hear mr Taylor had passed he was an extremely nice man very very cool guy and so was lemmy and to get back to mr. Robertson yes I went to that next Motörhead show ( the another perfect day tour ) and wow this was a show to die for i felt another perfect day was the most and underrated LP they ever made a incredible LP if you ask me my all time favorite and after that show mr. Robertson remembered me from the Hollywood show and I had brought every single thin Lizzy LP for him to autograph also mr Robertson invited me up to the dressing room at Chuck landis county club in reseda California and there again i had more stuff for lemmy and mr. Taylor to autograph very very very gracious guys to their fans all 3 of them this was a night to remember god bless all their souls in heaven this band killed it live and in person and thank you sir for this fantastic video and the memories it gave me of mr. Taylor thank you --- Anthony

One of the great percussionists of all time ,an English great in my opinion .This guys drumming was fast , furious , very skilful and at times scary R.I.P

RIP Phil. A classic band who will never fade. Thanks for the vid.

Very impressed with the cemetery, very neat and tidy, the groundsmen should be congratulated on a job well done.

I didn't know about the spinal injury. As an obsessed teenager I followed the band all over the place and in that time I don't think I ever saw him smile once. Sometimes you'd get to meet the band afterwards but Phil always seemed to hold back. Lemmy was always the same onstage or off but Phil only seemed to come alive when he had a drum kit in front of him. My memories of him on stage are of a silhouetted figure amongs all the dry ice arms flailing. Interesting times. Rest in peace Phil.

Motorhead crazy as a teen, but only with Philthy Animal Taylor on drums. Just didn't sound right without him. R.I.P. Brothers

Top drummer Top geezer Met him once I was a 12 year old , in awe He was a gentleman. Still got his autograph , I'm 53. Love and miss Motorhead so much. Always hoped my son would join me at a gig.☹

Thanks for sharing, much respect. Phil was an awesome drummer, sad that they are no longer with us but their music lives on..

RIP Phil one of the Greats seen Motorhead live number of times !!! Phil was such a powerfull drummer Thank You for this video nice to see his resting place

I saw them in 1991 at the Eagles Ballroom in Milwaukee,Wisconsin,they rocked for sure 🤘,thanks Paul .🙂

LOVE Motorhead, always have, always will.... Original line up are my all time faves. My brother gave me On Parole when it first came out, I was a big fan from that era onward... Thanks for taking us along with you!

I filmed and photographed his funeral at Markeaton crematorium Derby, put together and displayed a tribute video of Phil's life with unique family photos working with his 2 sisters who contracted me. I also patched into the service a tribute from Lemmy and the other 2 guys who were all in the states. Lemmy was really not looking well at that point. Fast Eddy gave a short eulogy as did the Axe man of Wasp. The service Wake was held at 'the Markeaton' and was quite a who's who of Rock ... Motorhead was my first gig. The Bomber tour, when I was 13. Mind blowing !

I remember seeing Motörhead on the overkill and bomber tours . Brilliant nights and his drumming was always entertaining in its own right .

Alright Paul. Bless this man Phil Taylor what a legend man from a legend band, I remember leaving Hammersmith Odeon seeing so many Motörhead jackets and T-shirt’s once after a Maiden gig when I was still living back home then, I thought I must see them, after seeing them on such shows like The Tube Young Ones. I eventually saw them in Sydney in 1992, what an awesome gig I was right up the front, the loudest band on that day at Metalfest - someone threw a I think a can or bottle or something at poor Phil, the guy who did it was drunk, and Phil put his sticks down and said we came all the way down here to play this show and you’re doing this…” I remember it clearly, and to be honest I really don’t blame him if he did leave soon after, Motörhead as a band were so hard working, and mate Phil is the highlight in the back seat there playing the drums, what a man indeed, and I have to say “Another Perfect Day” from 1983 has to be the definite Motörhead album, I’ll buy it on LP when I get some money. what a great tribute for Phil, thank you 🙏🏼

The band lived in one of my Uncle's flats in London in the early to mid 1980's and very kindly gave me some memorabilia to give to one of my mates on the proviso I gave a donation to charity. When they moved from the flat we can pretty much say that they weren't the best at housekeeping... who would have guessed ! LOL! ;) x

I saw Phil playing with Motorhead on the Iron Fist tour, at the Hammersmith Odeon in 1982.

Thank you so, so much for visiting Phils grave. I still haven't been! I love Motorhead. I can't choose a favourite song they did. Killed by Death is a belter of a track. R. I. P Philthy 🖤

Can’t wait! I love Motörhead.

Awesome 👏🏻 I’ll be there on the dot

Saw Motörhead about 43 times firstly in Newcastle on the Bomber tour. Phil was a favourite of mine, and I went to both of the Newcastle shows that resulted in No Sleep Til Hammersmith. Mate of mine assisted as road crew on Bomber tour and said they were totally wild. Great band sadly missed, the real deal

I remember meeting Phil in Leeds when Christmas shopping. He was dressed very smart and had a bow tie drawn on his neck brace. A little different to when I saw him in concerts. Most memorable were the Metal Mayhem (I think) at Bingley Hall in Stafford, and the Queens Hall, in Leeds. A great guy, much missed. Thanks for the music Phil. I would say RIP. out of respect....but think he would find peace boring.!

I had a chance to see Motorhead not long after Phil's accident and he came on halfway through the set in wheelchair where he waved and then wheeled off again! Thank you for your respectful approach as always

Thanks for this great Video! I m from Switzerland and have been one of the most die hard Classic Line up Fans of Motorhead back in the day...! I ve been lucky enough to see this classic Line up on Dec 11th 1981! A day I will never forget....Motorhead back then where Titans like Talos in the antic tales...! They where huge and very influential to me...No Sleep ti Hammersmith is until today the album I ve listened most of all my many thousands of records I collected in nearly 50 years! Around 1500 times at least....Iistened to it nearly 3 times a day for one year when it came out...I played drums with knitting needels of my mum to all the parts of this album on my bed! The only time I did this...I actually played guitar back then...but Philthy was a drummer from another Universe.....Thanks for the great legacy you left behind Phil! Together with my other great inspiration of Fast Eddie and Lemmy you created my images of loud and dirty Rock n Roll music...Yes we put our heads into the speakers at Motorhead Live Shows when we where young to hear more sound...it couldn t be loud enough! The ears are still ringing! R.I.P. Lads....see you on the other side...!

Was nice of you to share this even though it brought a tear to my eye,now that their all gone. I live in Ireland but I lived in Birmingham for a few years and I seen motorhead in the hummingbird in Birmingham in 1992 I think it was. They were unreal brilliant show took 3 days before I could hear properly again 😂2 of my all time favourite bands were motorhead and thinn lizzy, unfortunately I never got to see thinn lizzy while Phil was alive. May they all have a great jamming season in heaven. God if your listening to me you might need to whip out the ear plugs 😂🤣thank you again for bringing me back good memories 👍

No doubt Philthy Animal Taylor was one of a kind. Influence on heavy metal drumming undeniable and quite a character so I've heard and seen in interviews. RIP Philthy!

Saw phil taylor in concert only once.Touring with slayer and overkill in the usa in 1988.Fox theater in atlanta georgia.Very loud and proud.I think it was their rock n roll album they were touring for.And that album is probably my fave.Cheers!

Brilliant job as always Paul. Always find rock stars and music people in general really fascinating seeing where they are laid to rest and there stories you tell so brilliantly. Thankyou Paul ..great job 👍

Another great video Paul thank you for visiting his grave what a great musician my Dad used to love motorhead and he met both Lemmy and Philthy Animal Taylor he a lucky sod . Big respect to you Paul I can't wait for more of your videos xx

Regarding your advert, In the early 1970s me and my late pal Neil used to collect these really cool plastic Skull Rings from collecting crisps packets and sending off to a Food company.

All together now in that big gig in the sky.A wonderful band and truly great musicians.

I love my rock, metal, black metal, thrash and other alternative music... So it's right down my street. I also love watching it live too. So awesome video Paul... 61 for Phil's passing is definitely young.

Saw him on the 1916 tour in Oz with Wurzel & Phil Clarke. Blew my mind. Never seen anything so rock'n'roll before or since 😊

I am big motorhead fan I loved philthy Phil animal Taylor met many a time in late 70s early 80s

What a beautiful well kept cemetery , with great views too , thanks once again for bringing these great videos to us .

Brill , I’ll be here 🥰x

Fabulous drummer and a precurser of metal drumming to come.

Thanks for posting brotha!

Thank you so much for doing what you do. You do it so respectfully.x

I saw the holy trinity 39 times from 77-82. They made me what I am today ,for that I'm eternally grateful, I'm 60 now and still Listen to them daily, thank you Phil, you are much loved and missed.....lost johnny.

I had many drinks with them mostly in the intrepid fox near wardor st many a good night spent in there always a great laugh

Thanks for sharing this video. Hope having the opportunity to visit Phil's grave once in the future. He's been a huge inspiration as a drummer... RIP Phil...

I remember seeing him on TV when I was a kid in the 80s in the Ace of Spades and Iron Fist clip and thinking to myself "This is the coolest looking dude in history". Needless to say my dad knew that I just discovered Motorhead and it was all downhill from there :D

Iron maiden and Motörhead are by far and away favourite just British bands but heavy metal bands I saw them play 5 times in my life 1985 Donnington,1992 Sydney Eastern Creek raceway,1998 Long beach Los Angeles , 2004 Brisbane Entertainment Centre,2006/07 with the Sex Pistols again at the Brixton academy. Again thanks Paul this is a real treat pity you have to go to LA for Lemmy. I won't Hassel you over who you visit but the two Iam looking forward to are Edward Woodward and Denholm Elliott. PS donation is on its way not just for your fuel and accommodation but for your own personal use because what you do for our channel.

great vid as usual paul, thanks

I loved him man, he was loved by so many.

I agree that it is beautiful scenery and a beautiful cemetery.

Great video. Nice that your channel is quickly growing. Well deserved because you cover so many different celebrities and talented people from all walks of life.

Another outstanding video, Paul... I've heard of this band, my 4 boys who's ages range from 50 yrs to 41yrs listened 🎶 2 Motorhead ... Philip John Taylor is my age... RIP ☦ 🕊 💕 🙏... if my son's listened 2 um... they must be brilliant... God bless & stay safe always Paul ✌❤🙏

Good work on this one , I am a MASSIVE Motorhead fan . I think the lemmy , animal and fast eddie as the best rock line upon all time , along with Chris slade he is my favourite drummer . I even collect motorhead rare vinyl records and have loads of different versions of there work . GREAT WORK 👍

Best drummer Motorhead had and I'm old school RIP Philthy Animal 🥀🥁

That slight pause with a pointed finger and "I think I found it" is turning into a great trademark for you Paul! I like it! Keep up the good work!

Thanks for the video. I saw Motörhead at Hammersmith 1980 . I was in awe, they were superb . RIP Phil, Eddie and Lemmy. 🤘

Great video, keep up the great work. Greetings from Ireland.

Looking forward to this one Paul.

Absolutely love your channel. It makes me chuckle how you walk around then double back on yourself and say “I think I’ve found it…” Keep on doing what you’re doing!

Phil was hilarious and he had a very sweet side too. He also had a wild crazy side which always made me laugh. He’d be stoked that you’re doing this tribute, thank you.

Thanks for sharing. I saw Motorhead at Crawley leisure centre on the ace of spades tour. a fantastic band RIP Phil

sad that all the original Motorhead gone now. Share a birthday with him altough different year

Top of the shop sir!......Very informative.....

Hi I enjoy watching your videos I found them very interesting the loss of so many famous people is so sad to see and think about I congratulate you 😢carry on with the good work

I saw Motorhead in Cardiff in the late 80's, my ears hurt for over a week after that, the volume was violent, I'd never seen so many speakers packed onto a stage. We have lost Phil, Lemmy and Wurzel from the line up I saw. RIP fellas

we used to rehearse in Venice beach in an office building and we brought our own liquor, Philthy brought tequila, amazing human and amazing drummer.

Thanks for the memories Phil...watched you guys at Birmingham Odeon in 1982...14 years old on a school night...couldn't hear for 2 days. RIP

Fist saw Motörhead on tiswas in the late 70’s and as a kid of 9 they really hit me hard .never really listened to music much before that .but Motörhead put a stop to that..was a fan ever since 79 I’m now 53 and still love em .the three amigo’s as lem Phil and Eddie were known are still my fave line up .met Lemmy a few times in the late 80’s in Hanley stoke on Trent when they toured Britain and Europe .him coming from boslem if you are a stokey or burslem if you onna ,or aren’t in posh English haha.Phil had that mad sense of humour that’s for sure .the comfort we have is now is the three amigo’s are back together kicking ass and giving it to em “LOUD”.RIP fella’s .stoke on Trent loves ya Lem.

Thankyou for this Paul 😎

Superb ... Everything louder than everything else ♠RIP Philthy

Beautiful ❤️❤️. 😢😢😢 FIRST CONCERT FOR ME NYC WAS MOTORHEAD WHEN I WAS 13 1980

Thank you Paul for a interesting Video. 💥

Another awesome video and i agree your jewellery is pretty awesome :)

I became a Motorhead fan when i first saw them on ' The young ones " MTV mid 80's. Thankfully I got to see them in concert about 3 years before Lemmy's death. Now the original lineup is all gone RIP !!!

Met all the band in Feb 1991 at Portsmouth Guildhall! Went round the back after the gig and they all came out and signed my 1916 album. Lovely guys.

💜 Loved Phil. huge influence on my drumming.. I wanted to learn double bass cuz of Phil.. love & Respect Philthy Animal.. rest in peace mate 💜

I did meet him once he was a great guy down to earth up there now rocking love you ❤️

I first saw Motorhead on The Young Ones when i was a kid & i wanted to be him, i actually learned bass & played in several loud, dirty punk rock bands & now I'm just loud & dirty & i make basses...... Thanks Philthy, i am who i am because of you.....

Good one this is nice job

Nicely done. Thanks

My first Motörhead gig was in Germany. So loud the plaster was falling off the ceiling and covering everyone in fine dust. Three songs it took for my ears to adjust and work out what song was being played. Three days of tinnitus 😂😂
