As a teen in 80s America into both hardcore and thrash metal, I noticed that any given punk rocker was more likely to be a Motorhead fan than a metalhead was. At one record store customers moved Motorhead's LPs from the metal section to the hardcore section. I can't imagine extreme metal or crust punk without Motorhead. At the very least, these genres would be very different. My favorite songs are Steal Your Face and Dancing On Your Grave.

Metallica (earliest work), Venom and Slayer were mentioned in Thrasher Magazine in the early 80s (I recall a couple other thrash bands as well). I was a nerdy metal fan, who also liked the emerging speed/thrash/black metal sound but also liked skating, and read Thrasher regularly which was into punk and skate punk mainly from the Bay Area perspective. Thrasher occasionally made fun of mainstream metal bands like Iron Maiden and Judas Priest, but had good things to say about Metallica, Slayer, Venom and a couple other bands who I wasn't into and don't recall. In fact, when Metallica opened for Ozzy on tour in 1986, I was surprised to see ads for the tour (mainly because of Metallica) in Thrasher.

In 2005 I went to see one of my then favourite bands, Motley Crue. They were being supported by Motörhead who I had only heard of, but didn't know. When I walked into the arena, Motörhead had just started playing and it was an experience like no other. I thought I was walking into hell itself. Long story short, in only a 45 minute set, with a third of the amps, and none of the pyro, strippers, midgets or extravagant circus acts of Motley Crue, they absolutely blew Motley Crue out of the water and opened my mind up to a whole new side of rock music that I had never touched before. Lemmy was 60, playing songs I'd never heard before and it was insane. I saw them 2 more times. So glad I did.

He often said of Hendrix that Jimi taught him that if you tripped on one day, take double the amount the next to keep it going.

I had a huge missed Opportunity to meet Lemmy in person through a mutual friend while he was playing at the jones beach theater. One of my dads friends became the CEO of Windup records on Long Island, he was recording a band called crowbot at the time, an upcoming concert at jones beach had crowbot opening up for motorhead, and my dad had to make 1 phone call. But I only found out about the concert after it happened. I just thought to myself at the time we’ll catch him next time he’s in town. Then he passed away later that year and I cried like a little bitch, this guy was my idol, he seemed indestructible like nothing would stop him from touring and playing loud.

A friend of mine has a disabillity and he was allowed backstage at a festival in Germany so we wandered around behind the stage. At some point we saw Lemmy just sittin in a large tent by himself, drinking and smoking. I hesitated but my friend just straight up walked right over to him. We talked for probably 20 or so minutes. The weirdest thing was, he probably asked more about us than we about him. He really cared for the stories we had to tell. After we left I just thought "Well, I've met Lemmy and had no chance to ask him the questions I wanted to."

I was in a covers band a few years back, doing rock n roll basically. Loads of different stuff. We tried to do ‘Ace of Spades’, but just couldn’t get it right. Mainly the drums, and the bass line completely defeated me it was so fast, and I couldn’t get used to thrashing chords with a pick; I was/am a finger-style single note player. Couldn’t get the sound right either, nowhere near, not surprisingly. Around then, Lemmy was doing TV ads for various products (He was still doing ads for milk, yes, milk, shortly before he died), and he did an ad for Jack Daniels whiskey. It featured a card game, with Lemmy as one of the players. But it was the background track that got all of us - it was Ace of Spades, but slowed down into a heavy bluesy style. So we tried to do that; not that easy! Although it sounded the same just slower, it wasn’t! It was completely different, the chords, intervals, sequences, and is pretty damned intricate. We got it though, and ‘twas loved by all. Lemmy is Rock n Roll is Lemmy! RIP geezer!

This is a great way to describe ace of spades as being a bridge between punk and metal. And its ironic because Motorhead never claimed to be either genre. They just said they were a loud rock band that played fast. And they popularized the double bass drum so well used in thrash metal too. Absolute legends

I am an American. I lived in Germany for a brief period in middle and high school. I attended an "international school." I remember this one kid, British, he was having some trouble relating to other kids. He didn't speak the language yet, he was a fish out of water, and he was awkward during our "social time" which was basically a version of recess. I talked to him a lot to try to connect with him. I remember we were speaking English by the entrance to the little school and we were talking about metal bands we liked, and I mentioned Motorhead, talking about what they had done for rock and thrash and British metal in general. He was so taken aback that Motorhead was British. I was like, oh yeah. Motorhead is totally from the UK. And he looked like he felt this wave of euphoria, he looked so happy to realize that Motorhead was a British band. He had thought they were American.

Long Live Lemmy!

After Roots a lot of people lost interest I think and they've never really recovered but I do respect the fact they have just carried on. Some might dismiss that but what was they supposed to do?

I saw Motorhead on the Orgasmatron tour in 1986 at a club called Fender's Ballroom which had a low ceiling of about 10 feet. Motorhead's amplifiers were stacked to the ceiling and completely lined the wall of the venue on both sides of the stage. It was the loudest thing I have ever heard. My ears weren't still ringing 3 days later. If I got within 10 feet of the wall of amplifiers all I could hear was a thigh pitch squeal. I could feel every note from Lemmy's bass like a punch in the chest. There was one dude sitting with his back against one of the bass cabinets banging his head the whole time. His friends were watching and laughing, so between songs I asked how he was able to stand it and they told me he had been born deaf and was just rocking out to the vibration. Amazing show. The opening bands were Raw Power and Cro-Mags both also great. But there's nothing like Motorhead.

I love Ace of Spades as it is the closest to a perfect album that Motorhead ever created. It's gritty, it's loud, and it flows from song to song with feel and rhythm. But the album I keep coming back to is actually Another Perfect Day, the album that hurt the band. But the thing is the most sonically brilliant album they ever recorded, as each instrument is laid down to perfection. I honestly think that Brian Robertson's virtuosity with the guitar forced Lemmy and Philthy to up their game, and I don't think they ever played better in the studio. Robbo's mixing was first rate, and the songs sound amazing. While I don't think they're as cohesive as AOS, there are some real standouts, like "Back At The Funny Farm", my favorite, which is simply a wall of sound and fury. In the end, Ace of Spades, Another Perfect Day and We Are Motorhead are my three favorites.

Punks by comparison, were relatively few, with no radio airplay and concerts held in basements. The two groups just didn't really mix. Motörhead was honestly the only thing we agreed on. By the mid-late 80s, there was more crossover, but before that...

Misfits never allowed the RIAA to use them like a puppet in front of Congress, thereby leading to the long term and extreme degradation of the internet. I'm cool with punk-metal exploration, just as long as it doesn't involve those shills [Metallica].

Great video, very well-researched and informative! My personal favourite Motörhead song is No Voices in the Sky, it's fast and heavy, yet very pleasantly uplifting, and that's what I love about it

That is such a great song. 1916 as a whole is one of their best albums.

Agreed, and the whole album 1916 was bad ass!!!...

Not to mention, this was the one and only MH song and video that Beavis and Butt Head watched and commented on. The commentary is hilarious (Butt Head doing a decent Lemmy impersonation on the chorus, then Beavis trying and failing miserably, lol! Then, Beavis asking Butt Head why Lemmy has Cocoa Puffs glued to his face; Butt Head's answer: "because it looks cool, dumbass!"

My friends and I, on a whim, went to a small venue, where MOTORHEAD was playing. I've never, before or since, had METAL shoved in my face like that. What an experience! Nothing can compare. Clash of the Titans, with SLAYER,, MEGADETH,and ANTHRAX, standing in front of the "stack", which was 15 feet high, was almost as METAL.
