The Life & Death of Motorhead's PHIL 'PHILTHY ANIMAL' TAYLOR 

Lemmy was devastated when Phil died. He was an amazing drummer & a truly unique character, with an incredible sense of humour.

Met the man at the bar in Leeds uni in 1978.Just chatting having a drink.He said “I’ve got to go see you “Next thing I new he was on stage playing.Didn’t know who he was until then.

We're Motörhead and we play Rock n Roll #riplemmy #ripphilthy

Now we are talking . Thanks good stuff 😎😍

Every drummer that plays double kicks owes a debt to Philthy...

My first song 1980 its Ace of spades in the TV ,i am the greatest Fan from MOTÖRHEAD🤘🎸🤘 R.I.P.Philty Animal,Lemmy and Fast Eddie❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Lemmy a month later and Eddie Clarke three years later. Motorhead are now all gone.

This was great. Covering an artist that wasn't mainstream. How about doing one on the life and death of bassist Paul Raven of Killing Joke?

The pioneer of double bass, a legend!

Best drummer in the Motörhead he was real rock man the trio is fantstic

Thank you 👍

Saw him with Motorhead as the opening band , for Blizzard of OZ,at Boston Orpheum, one of the best concerts I ever seen!Lemmy and Motorhead were fantastic,as was Randy Rhodes with Ozzy, my ears were ringing for days, thanks Motorhead!

A unique drummer had such a fast sound on the kit.

Amazing work

Many thanks!🤘

lemmy wrote Bomber, after reading Len Deighton's book Bomber, Gary Numan and Tubeway Army were at same recording studio, Gary Numan altered the lyrics for his equally famous song Bombers!

Currently playing drums in the band 'old nick and the demons' 👹 Good on ya Phil 👍

Phil Campbell and the bastard sons,are well worth checking out,not Motörhead by any means,but live they’re very very good.

RIP Philthy Phil!!!!;(;(

Also as seen on the Muppet Show.

I saw him with two drop dead ladies before a show. He enabled my hang over without even asking for anything. Never made into the show. Took a decade to finally enter a Motorhead show successfully.

Too much booze = Liver fucked up. Being drunk all the time is a game, someone wins someone loses.

first 2 pictures you can see a young Skinhead (first one) and Suedehead (second one). In the second picture you can see him play Reggae on drums (late 60s skinhead choice of music). Wonder how it influenced his style.

The man literally invented thrash metal drumming. RIP Phil & PLAY LOUD in Valhalla.

Dude was dropped on his head….that is the ultimate “ hold my beer” moment.

My first gig .ace of spades tour 1981 hammersmith odeon . Still got the programme

"Ace of Spades" the single was released the day I was born. Awesome. There wouldn't be Metallica or hardcore if Motorhead didn't exist.

Truly charismatic, funny and warm guy - such a shame he's no longer around

Taylor and Clark and Lemmie are the only Motorhead as far as im concerned

They don’t make them like that no more… legend

He was a God amongst men. RIP Philthy,Lemmy,Fast Eddie n Wurzel. The world is that much quieter n boring....big ups from Southern California

I actually met Phil in his home village of hasland with his sister, total gentleman, she took a photo of us, still got R.I.P.

Commentators pronunciation of Orgasmatron 🤣

born as a virgin died as a scorpion. good life..! wonderful drummer more swing in hardrock never heard again

Saw Motorhead in the Edinburgh playhouse 1982..brilliant !

Phil Taylor in his days was one of the best drummers around. Underrated however. Thanks for the upload!

He was amazing, a total force of nature, he had swing, groove and a naughty drumming spirit, I mean, listen to the groove he lays down on the On Parole version of Iron Horse, tremendous, aye, Phil was so good, I honestly think bands were scared of him, hence he never got more work, he should have, he was an incredible drummer, all his work is amazing, Another Perfect Day was an immense lesson in how to sit behind a drum kit, and batter the life out of it, such a special man, a complete nutter, but a wonderful nutter. God love ye Phil, you changed drumming mate, totally changed it, way ahead of your time.

Phil was like an earthquake you not only heard it you felt it, here's a fun fact about leaving here. Leaving here was issued as a single by the Birds featuring a young Ronnie Wood on Guitar. It's a real cruncher that Lemmy liked.

I met him backstage at Fastway's first ever concert at Hammy odeon, great dude

0:49 “just hanging out by the pisser having a smoke and a drink”

Saw motorhead 1979 at Sheffield city hall, support band saxon, bomber tour, I'm fairly sure that was the year, ticket price £2.75.......... According to what my friend told me, I'd forgot, take that Taylor Swift........ Reasonable ticket prices

Very under rated drummer like bill Ward and Steven Adler you don't need to be fast a thousand beats a second these drummers had something to say fast hard hitting drummers are a dime a dozen they don't mature and after a while it just sounds the same.

Seen them in July 1980 at The Heavy Metal Barn Dance Bingley Hall Stafford, they were like Gods to me, i thought they would be around for ever, now all three of them have gone..

I saw em loads of time in Lemmys home town,great live band.Ears ringin for days at school.Didnt see them without Phil Taylor.

Seen them in the Edinburgh Odeon late 70's. Saxon was the support band. Deaf for 2 days.

"The vibrant city of Leeds"? You've never been to England, have you? " Vibrant"!!! 😂😂😂😂

When touring with SLAYER DAVE LOMBARDO admitted to PHIL that he couldn't fathom out or play the intro to STAY CLEAN

🇨🇦🇨🇦🥁🥁💪🍻🙏🙏Love always brother the whole world stopped that day .i was like fuck who" no man not yet lord we need this man for while longer please lord a while more .. my words were not heard so were ever u are my brother they needed u there now more then here .

Absolute legend seen him with Motorhead 10 times fantastic drummer one of my musical heroes RIP thanks for the memories

I got to go to Hammersmith Odeon Bomber ....it was real wild shit that was for sure.

I hope he will not be forgotten. He was a great drummer who invented a style.

Legend. Used to drink in the same pub just off Harrow Road in London. RIP Phil ✌

The inventor of the D-beat. Just listen to those old songs.

I met him at the Marque Club when icu had a residency. We were in the bar when last orders was called. Philthy got up, he was on a mission.... to drink any unattended/unguarded drink no matter what it was. RIP.

His style was and is unique, a true musician.

Awesome drummer, saw him 85 Bridgeway Adelaide - R.I.P Original Motörhead (inc.Larry Wallis)

Met him, Lemmy and Eddie at a meet n greet they did after their gig in Portsmouth, UK in 1982. Iron Fist had just been released.

We only have one liver😐

What a fantastic video have a wonderful day also my stomach feels better ❤❤❤❤❤❤😊😊😊😊😊😊

Everyone is always talking about early MOTORHEAD as being the only period that mattered while the band kept recording and releasing top notch albums all the way to the end. Ckeck out "Inferno", that came out to little fanfare but was immediately a top contender for the metal album of the year. That record just rages with good songs being played extremely well. What a great album!

I have never listened to them, but he obviously was a gifted musician with a lasting impact on music. The Best Worst Band in the world…what a classic. I didn’t realise how few members there were! Just three. Great work my friend.

Overkill, we'll get it back to you, overkill overkill overkill, we are motorhead and we play rock n roll, overkill right!

LOL "and he had a truck " hahahahaha Drummerz

Dude, I Love All Your Posts!!! Fantastic!!!

Motörhead, Lemmy, Phil and Eddie. That was Motörhead. Not FUCKING MICKEY DEE, and FUCKING PHIL CAMPBELL😊

Overuse of the word "iconic" but otherwise interesting

thanks

W/O Motörhead chances are we wouldn’t know what Heavy Metal is.

WELOVEYOUPHILTHY.

Saw him once with Motorhead but fast Eddie had left by then ♠️

Let's not forget the famous appearance on the BBC Young Ones, playing Ace of Spades in the episode 'Bambi'

First line up,my heroes!

Excellent and thank you for the info on ine ifrivks trye pioneers

RIP PHIL EDDY & LEMMY

His dad owned a cafe where I lived so me and a friend got well in with him and luckily he offered to take us backstage at Leeds uni and the band even came and saw us the day after at Phil’s dads cafe.

No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith

Born to raise hell,, Keith moon wish he had half of Phil speed n groove

Phil animal was a skinhead 1970

LaMour did rock

pretty good short history albeit with the odd mistake re dates, nice to see ted carroll receive his dues regarding his central role in saving the band as lemmy often pointed out

✌❤🎶

One of music's most underrated drummers EVER!

Soulful drummer.

Lucas Fox and Larry Wallis players of the on Parole

✌️🤠💥🌟🌀🙏

Didn’t Phil play in Fastway?
