Awesome Reaction To Motorhead - Overkill

[@DanJackson1977]

This is the REAL Motorhead. The other track was a cover.. this is their sound.. fast, raw, and nasty. This is the song that essentially created Thrash. And Lars has said Metallica basically exists because of Lemmy.

[@darastarscream]

"We just kinda put the two 'Heads [Motorhead and Diamond Head] together and came up with something cool."

[@DanJackson1977]

@day jee yeah sorry man I gotta call bullshit on that. This lineup was the most consistent, longest lasting, produced some classic songs and Mickey Dee is a fucking beast of a drummer. The original lineup was great but to say it ended there is just "oldschool metal elitism". They had some of their best albums after that lineup.. like 1916, Bastards, and Inferno. Motorhead was Lemmy... as long as he was there.. all was well.

[@wedgie42]

@@DanJackson1977 The original line up was Lemmy, Larry Wallis & Lucas Fox before being replaced with Phil Taylor and they kicked arse as well, just listen to the Motorhead On Parole album !!

[@DanJackson1977]

@@wedgie42 I'm aware.. I actually like On Parole better than the self titled album doing the same songs. But I think it finally clicked with Eddie Lem and Phil. That said I think the follow up lineups were great too

[@gmantramp404]

The Real Motorhead 😂😂😂😂😂. You havin a laugh or what!!!! This is a tribute back up with Lemmy minus any decent lead guitar soloing. The No Sleep Till Hammersmith version is the real GODDAMN MOTORHEAD.. Stay Well tho in these troubled times 👍👍

[@jeffwilson9114]

Seen them 6 times.... "We are Motorhead and we play rock n roll" Just straight to the fcukin point and I loved him for it. No airs or graces just kick ass rock and roll. I'll fuckin never forget you lemmy

[@williamjohnson9119]

We are MOTOR HEAD we play rock and roll

[@isthiswherewecamein6130]

Only motorhead fans appreciate that. It's like "up the irons" to a Maiden fan! Good call brother.

[@wetkneehouston6293]

I would recommend watching the documentary on lemmy, (no need to react as it's quite long) it's on youtube and you'll see what type of person he was, such a good person and a unique person, he never raised ticket prices in like 40 years as he thought everyone should be able to afford to see his band. The guy was a fucking rockstar god too, bottle of Wiskey, speed and 40 cigs a day since he was a teen and lived into his 70s, he was performing wihe dying of cancer, he rocked until he dropped for his fans

[@richardcutler6254]

There are rock stars, and then there was Lemmy. Lemmy was in a league of his own. He was, quite literally, the Johnny Cash of heavy metal!!

[@annebokma4637]

And he was a scholar and historian. One of the smartest, kindest people you could ever have the fortune to meet. A true gentleman in every sense, RIP Lemmy, may your music be played forever

Motorhead is arguably the grandfathers of heavy metal. The cover "Heroes" is a David Bowie (RIP) song that Motorhead covered in tribute to Bowie. You might recognize their, again arguably, most famous song, "Ace of Spades"

[@jockmason5922]

It wasn't a tribute to Bowie,as Lemmy passed away 27th December 2025 before Bowie. Their covers Album was the music the bad members liked

[@waynestumbo2408]

[@TrueMetalGaming]

I agree! I have seen countless metal shows over 20 years. Motorhead IS the best band live. Louder than any other band I have heard.

[@62swampboy62]

A Motorhead crowd certainly has it's own feel. Their fans live the music.

[@HGSolberg]

RIP Lemmy. That's all I can say. Lemmy is the only "celebrity" or person that I didn't know personally, that I really felt sorrow when he passed away. And you are right about Mickey Dee, I consider him one of the best drummers ever. He has said that being drummer in Motörhead is the hardest job he's ever had. LOL

[@tylerreisinger734]

Motorhead just MAKES you feel like a badass... the rawness of this band is unparalleled. Try We are the Road Crew!!

[@Dirkschneider]

I've seen Motörhead many times and these bass drums hit you in the chest and throw you back against the wall. That feedback at the end keep ringing in your ears after the show, when you get home, when you get to bed and when you wake up in the morning. How three people can make that much noise is astounding. Your whole body knew you had been to a Motörhead concert: bruised knees, aching neck, ringing ears...

[@gazgibster]

punk from the seventies and early 80s were my stuff i also listened to a group called Motorhead wich there sound made alot of punk music sound pretty tame i saw them 9 times and that lives with me to this day they are in my car on my phone never a week goes by without motorhead my favourite band by a mile Lemmy the legend didnt play at rock n roll he went full tilt big respect to Lemmy and the boys awesome.

[@Hardliner666]

Last song at every Motörhead show... God... I miss the ringin' in my ears after every show... \m/ Mikkey Dee is a machine! He always reminded me of The Animal from Sesame Street... you saw just his arms and hair flying around behind the drums. And as Lemmy always announced him... The Best Drummer In The World: MIKKEY DEE!

[@JelloFluoride]

This is the ultimate encore song. Gives me goosebumps everytime I hear it. I had the honor of seeing Overkill only once but it was still one of the best shows I have ever seen.

As for future reactions, check out the live video for "In the Name of Tragedy" - it's outrageous in the best way.

[@kurtbarlow9402]

Lemmy did not die, He merely retuned to Heaven, because He heard that somebody was sitting in His seat.

[@mickrov]

I was at a Motörhead show like three weeks before Lemmy died (RIP) and it was fucking phenomenal.

[@canadianhienz57]

Had the pleasure of seeing Motörhead in 1989 in Rastatt, West Germany in a bar. Blown away - Been a fan since mid-80s and still spin them to get a little motivation juice flowing.

[@tutnichtnotig1297]

I was 2008 in this concert hall. We sit in the last row. It was loud, hard and bloody great. RIP Lemmy. They filmed the show in Düsseldorf, Germany. ☝🏻😍🥂

[@TheGenbox2]

How it was for me live as a teenager? So loud you'd find it hard you identify each song. It was just pure sensation and the crowd just was a euphoric crush of bodies. Ears still ringing 3 days later!

[@Jerbearnm1969]

I saw Motörhead in 2012. The concert was awesome. I could not get to sleep after coming home. I had so much energy. That is what Motörhead does to you seeing them live

[@olavrell]

If you think the drummer deserves an award, based purely on this one. Check their video for the song Sacrifice from the same concert.

[@stephenrowe1415]

Saw them at our small town hall back when Worzel also played guitar. Ears buzzing for a week 🤠

[@bigorna42]

I'v been to 7 or 8 motorhead concerts. Every time they came to Brasil I'd be there for shure.they never desapointed. They were always perfect. Heavy, fast, very very loud. The only advide a can say, always try to listen or watch them live. Them have records from the 80's when mixing was very different. But live, they were brutal.

Live from Munich was a great show/video saw it on AXES TV I think..all great think it was done about a year before Lemay bailed..think the title was "BOMBER"

[@MortanAMrk]

And Motörhead still had the best album of that genre, even if it died before they made Sacrifice it is weird

[@kurtbarlow9402]

One time (of many) I saw Motorhead, the club opened almost 4 hours late, due to problems with the sound system. When we finally got in the club rushed the 2 opening bands on and off the stage (some local band and Belladonna) Motorhead played a 90 minute set, then Lemmy announced: "We're gonna take a short break here, and then we're gonna come back and thank you for waiting around in the fucking cold !!" (it was snowing that night) They took a twenty minute "working" break, during which they met fans and signed merchandise. Then they got back on stage and played ANOTHER 90 minute set. Now THAT'S real class. They fulfilled their contact at the end of their first set, they didn't have to do ANYTHING. But the fans were ALWAYS number one in Lemmy's eyes. Actions like this one are part of the reason why he's such a legend. Sincerely, MHB # 1204

[@mlee65]

Saw them in Las Vegas with Saxon as the opening act in 2015.

[@antmo1966]

seen them 6 or 7 times over the years (since 1982) and they'd come on stage with no fuss, opened with the phrase "we are motorhead and we play rock and roll" and then no gimmicks, head down rock for the entire gig... the last song of the encore would usually be "overkill" played with permanent strobe lighting and finish by propping up his bass to the stack and turning up the amps, leaving the stage to feedback. I miss those days. There'll never be another Motorhead

You can always tell a great metal/hard rock group if they have the Marshall Stacks behind them .

[@steveheston8012]

This became the final song that Motorhead played every night since like....1979!!! But I agree...this is the best version of it! Mickey Dee is a beast on those drums after playing ALL night he's still slamming away. And Phil and Lemmy are just thrashing it. I listen to this version almost daily!!! Long live MOTORHEAD!!

I made a mistake in picking that Bowie cover at the first Motorhead request... it's a great cover and it was the last song they put out as a band but it wasn't a good intro.. this is what I should have picked.
