Drummer reacts to "Ace of Spades" by Motörhead

[@TheAluxx]

"...gonna play it again". The only possible reaction.

😂😂😂 how can you not? 👍

[@mztweety1374]

Legally I think you have to

Total respect for that but it should be," gonna play that again, but louder this time" 😁

Lemmy said in an interview, "We wanted to be the band, if we moved next door to you, your lawn would die!".

[@tommydevlin702]

Even as an old Punk I have to say that for me this has always been the purest distillation of all things Rock and Roll. Lemmy and the boys are everything this music is supposed to be. Glad you got it and glad too that it got you.

Lemmy spent some time playing with The Damned

[@simonplatt4366]

In its way one of the most perfect pieces of music ever recorded.

[@steveosborne3714]

Next song ? It has to be 'Overkill', their most self-defining song from their greatest ever album of the same name. There'll be no turning back concerning Motorhead from there on in.

[@louise_rose]

"We are Motörhead" would be my pick. Fabulous lyrics, delivered in a voice that sounds like Lemmy is speaking from down in a mine shaft.

[@Bluesrockguy]

​@@louise_rose...and for something completely different, "1916". The heaviest "non-Heavy" Motörhead song. Heartbreaking and powerful.

[@PeteLX]

Best reaction ever hahaha! Absolutely play it again

[@jenscee7679]

Motörhead with the classic line up here are the most pure rock n roll you can listen to…just at ear bleeding volumes. Magnificent.

[@dennisgschmidt6167]

When Lemmy passed a blues player ( guitarist ) that has turned a shovel into a three strings electric, played with a slide. Payed a tribute to this song on a spade that was phenomenal, the guys name Justin Johnson. You might be surprised Lee.

[@steevenfrost]

Lemmy ; the only rock star i missed ,when we left us.

[@santiagoalvareztabares3598]

Overkill, Bomber, Ace of spades. Those three studio albums are flawless. And then for dessert No sleep till Hammersmith, their live album, up there with the best live albums ever

[@HT-io1eg]

Philthy killing it, RIP

[@barrydiller542]

"Play it again" Yes!!!

[@dragonmac1234]

RIP Lemmy, Philthy Animal and Fast Eddie, They kept their amps set to 11, and you had to feel that wall of sound that hit you in the chest like a sledgehammer to experience that raw power

[@Gravel-Idle]

This was the classic line up that I saw live three times in 1979 and 1980 leaning over the edge of the stage at Hammersmith Odeon, London. I was so close my eyebrows were singed as the smokebombs went off. Although they are miming here to the studio track this is exactly how they sounded, looked and acted on stage at live gigs.

[@m.ericwatson968]

"We're a Rock and Roll band, just everything louder than everything else"

[@spooley]

Lemmy was such a sweet guy, the documentary made on him is a must see. Dave Grohl at his eulogy told a story about bringing a signed Little Richard photo he knew Lemmy would treasure.

[@alanwhetstone3922]

"WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND WE PLAY ROCK N ROLL" is what Lemmy said at the start of every show then would say "WE ARE MOTORHEAD AND THAT WAS ROCK N ROLL" at the end of every show that's all he would say no chit chat between songs no fucking around

[@louise_rose]

"We are the future, Baby, used to be the past. We are the first to come and just might be the last We are Motörhead and we don't have no class!" 😄

[@LeeRatbag]

Re: Denise Dufort: She was Girlschool's drummer and played drums on all three tracks on the Motorhead/Girlschool collaboration EP "St Valentine's Day Massacre" (check that out, the lead track "Please Don't Touch" is a classic). She's not on the Ace Of Spades album. Philthy was a monster drummer, but a bit of a loose cannon offstage. He played an entire UK tour with a broken wrist, playing with the stick gaffa taped to his hand, after punching someone out outside his flat. He isn't on the HeadGirl EP cos he'd broken his neck falling down some stairs during some drunken tomfoolery.

[@Urbane.guerrilla]

[@markferrett700]

​@L33Reacts yeah...Britain was rocking in 1980.... check out Saxon......anything off their "Wheels of steel" album🤟

[@cheezenub]

Saw this lineup in the summer of 1980 outdoors in Minnesota. They finished their opening piece and Lemmy said "now for a love song." Then the opening riffs of this tune happened. Yep, pure love for this version of Motorhead! I will never forget that quote.

[@roadkillromeoband]

Philthy Animal Taylor played on that legendary album & he’s considered one of the originators of speed metal drumming, even though they were a rock & roll band. (When Motorhead did a duet EP with the female band Girlschool, their drummer, Denise, did drums.) Check out Motorhead’s “The Hammer” & “Love Me Like a Reptile”

[@alexandergustafsson4245]

UK, Young One, Broadcasts on the Beeb, this hit like a freight truck. I think only the Damned hit so hard from a Young Ones appearance and that was with a song they wrote special for the show. Also check out "Headgirl", a colab Motörhead did with Girlschool, a UK all female rock band. The lead track was a cover of "please don't touch", it made number 5 in the charts! The national POP charts. In the 80's weird stuff like that could happen

Great reaction, loved the fact you played it twice and the fact that you still love great hard rock music, despite your prog leanings. Nice one 👍

Denise Dufort was drummer with all girl band "Girlschool"who were on the same label in the U.K. as "Motorhead". They did a duet E.P. together called "the saint valentines day massacre" which included the hit "Please Don't Touch" you really need to check it out.

[@thescrewfly]

Yep, this is 1980, but Lemmy formed the band in mid 1975 and this line-up was together from early 1976. They always sounded like this, just got better at it. During their heyday, Motorhead was the only heavy rock band that punks were permitted to admire. Denise Dufort was the drummer from Girlschool (all-female rock band), who had collaborated with Motorhead before.

Early 90s, end of term when my wife was teaching, her class got the chance to pick some music to listen to and they voted for some boy band. She said something like "you're not making me listen to that - how about _Ace_ _of_ _Spades?"_ - so they played that instead. 😂

Then the jukebox suddenly switched off and for about 5 seconds there was a deadly silence as we all stared at each other in panic, thinking our eardrums had been destroyed! The relief when the jukebox came back on! 😂

You need to read up about Lemmy. A genuine nice guy would talk to anyone. Lived his later years in a motel just of the strip in LA. His room was full of adult material, games consoles. He did so much speed and Jack Daniel’s during his life. He even got his mail delivered to his local bar. Dig out Dave Grohls eulogy to him at his funeral - it’s moving

[@L33Reacts]

Sounds like he lived a very dynamic life. Lots of ups and downs. I can relate lol

Legit genuine - dude added me back on Fb when I found his account, and it wasn’t one of those fake celebrity ones run by a crew. It was pretty early fb days, maybe 2009; just an old rocker shooting the shit with fans sometimes when he got back from the pub. Fucking blew me away till the end how real he was. That no-frills real rocker thing can be a carefully managed persona, too… but not Lemmy. Didn’t ever act like he was above anyone talking to him. Let em get over their awe and calm down, and converse. Pretense wasn’t ever coming out of him.
