Platinum Awarded Engineer Reacts to Motörhead - "Overkill" 

Credits: Album: Overkill Recording: Roundhouse Studio, London, England Production: Jimmy Miller Written by: Eddie Clarke, Ian Kilmister, Phil Taylor

They were Motorhead. And they played rock and roll.

Fast Eddie is the most underrated guitarist in metal history

all of these guys are gone...the original Motorhead

10:28 is among the greatest moments of Rock'n Roll! I've never heard anything like that before and again. Gorgeous!

never forgotten motorhead /dio and alot of the old school bands/guys im glad i lived in their time

It's called OVERKILL for a reason.

Thanks for bringing in Dennis again! The guy is an absolute legend. Maybe have him react to his own music one day?

Phil Taylor doesn't get near the recognition he deserves, he practically invented metal/ thrash drumming with that double bass drum attack. Plus he had the best hair in the business!

I hear that chorus effect on the guitar as well.

Motorhead Lives!

RIP Lemmy

i love this song. the drums do pan that way as when you see them.libe it make your head actually move. I was at a concert and before they started Phil kicked one drum and sent my head one way and the snare took it back the other. I think these are tricks Lemmy learned with hawkwind.

Very interesting analysis of an atypical song of my favorite band! Thank you. Perhaps all talk only about Ace of Spades... I was open again this song for me a little time ago. It was nice to hear about what makes Motorhead music special. Interesting note about Lemmy's voice. I thought I was the only one who noticed that he had two voices in one. One clear and the second deep sound of hoarseness. You are imbued with great respect for the singer, who does not have high natural skills, but is working on his voice. (God was never on u side / Dead and Gone / Dont let daddy kiss me / Too good to be true) thx for video, Dennis

You really need to listen to the live version from No Sleep 'til Hammersmith.

Interesting. Maybe one day the platinum engineer could talk about a 3rd Unisonic album 😊

Saw Them live in 1979 . Made your Ears Bleed

One of mine favourite mixing desks is the Neve console or should I say consoles that at one stage where selling for next to nothing and then went through the roof ( price wise ) over night, and I believe were made in the US of A but also I know that the British made some good consoles as well. Just a reactions to your pre-amp remark and saturation.

base drum panned - ear candy

When I saw the thumbnail I thought "hey J Mascis reacting?"

Overkill the band does what it says on the tin

Lem once said he trained his voice with 1 bottle of Jack Daniels each and every day :-)

Overkill

I could get a distorted effect recording to tape by over saturating the tape with a high recording level. By setting the record level +5 to +7dB, vs 3dB where it was cleaner? Maybe they did a little of this?

would i be wrong to say that the saturation (wall of sound effect) was perfected in his time with Hawkwind. Especially on the live album from the do re me tour?

doubled vox was an Ozzy thing before Lemmy

You win some you lose some it’s the same to me I don’t wanna live forever

As talented as lemmy was today he would not be given a chance

7:18 try telling that to Judas Priest :D

Pity they mimed this for UK TV :/

I love Overkill. It's like a musical brain haemorrhage.

If you would like to react to a recommended song, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

I'll never understand Motorhead's popularity. Give me any single song and I like it. Give me multiple songs in a row and I'm bored. They pretty much just wrote the same song over and over and over.

Those who can do, and those who can’t react It seems...
