Motörhead-Train kept A' Rollin' [1977-with Lyrics]

aus dem ersten Motörhead-Album.
~Lyrics~
I was alone, she was a woman,
I was a man, I never knew her name,
And she was pretty, New York City
I just gotta let it go,
The Train Kept A-Rollin' all night long
Get it on, cheap little woman get it on, on my way
Get it on, cheap little woman get it on, on my way
The Train Kept A-Rollin' all night long
The Train Kept A-Rollin' all night long

[@TheMetalus1]

R.I.P. Lemmy, we will miss you

[@carlosdeno]

Doesn't get any better than this!! raw and still fresh!

[@Kettz]

I've only heard the Aerosmith version until now and this one sounds friggen awesome.

[@BrianJLeong]

Any Motorhead cover: The same exact song with Lemmy on vocals = BEST COVER EVER

[@62jape]

another great band covering a great song with its own great twists

[@MRJACORULZ]

Motorhead, Lemmy in particular, is awesome for having reached as many of us as he has & done what he's been able to.

[@jontibloom]

Great version of a Classic

[@bernardcoupu9730]

The best version is the Johnny Burnette 1956 rock and roll version, and will stay forever !

[@Twelve72]

Motörhead is zu geil für diese Welt!"

[@BlutoUSN]

Dirty, Gritty, Sweaty, Backyard Brawling...Fucking Epic!...

[@parvezjakson]

LEGENDS !!!

[@nanarockband]

Right, for anyone banging on about Led Zep, Analsmith etc doing a better version of this than the mighty 'head... Lemmy and co had 48 HOURS to record the entire ALBUM this track is from... right from setting up the drums to doing the final mix, that was it. No chance of getting any sleep etc. So, yeah, it might be a little rough around the edges here and there, but for sheer raw energy - well, IMO, it knocks Tyler and the rest of those Botox-boys clean out of the water.

[@FretsOnFire95]

Go for it! Lemmy seems like a cool dude, I'm sure he'd like to see a young fan in there haha

[@boocho1]

pretty cool...

[@sandalo72]

Pedazo versión de pedazo de tema de pedazo macarra que fue mr. Johnny Burnette...

[@FretsOnFire95]

It's also funny to watch a group of badgers in Santa suits doing calisthenics. We all have different senses of humor.

[@lieutenantlucas]

My favorite version will always be by the johnny burnette trio... But Motorhead fucking rules.

[@metralla]

johnny Burnette version is the original and the best ever, rockabilly rules!

[@katanagrupo]

this a orignial version of this great classic

[@ArnoRamone]

This version is awesome. But nobody can beat the Original song Written by The Johhny Burnette Trio

[@FretsOnFire95]

haha okay thanks, ill check it out, and yeah youre right, this is actually pretty cool! hahaha

[@RedHollywood24]

Also greatest singer of all time. The Demon of Screaming Steven Tyler!

[@izzapoppin]

johnny burnette is the best version for my money. but this is cool. ty.

[@PlasticCharlie]

i loove this sonng :D

[@AltamontKiller]

i wouldn´t be so sure if i were you

[@nanarockband]

@metalwillofficial ''Pseudo Motorhead-wannabe band''? Cheers! That sounds pretty cool. Glad you checked us out. You don't have to be sorry about anything.

[@HoskieDC]

the original was Tiny Bradshaw in 1951

[@MichaelHansenFUN]

is this the same yardbirds tune? WHOA!!!

[@blzmnky]

@arnocardon Tiny Bradshaw did the original, Johnny Burnette covered it several years later.

[@mikolajb.8627]

Yardbirds "stroll on " ;)

[@2012Romney]

Aerosmith's versio is the best. All the guitar solos in that version are amazing, and they fit the groove very well. Also, Steven Tyler's voice goes with the song well.

[@blzmnky]

no, its actually kinda cool! lemmy was always a closet rockabilly.. lol

[@willadio]

o ok thanks for telling me i didnt know

[@StubbyMcGonster]

That's fine. My point was - Johnny didn't write it - as my comment was referring to one which stated otherwise.

[@FretsOnFire95]

haha well its funny to hear lemmy doing something like this

[@nofuture92]

Yes but Motorhead covered Johnny Burnette and the rock trios version of this

[@ricr86]

Lemmys voice sounds diffrent

[@StubbyMcGonster]

The original version was written by Tiny Bradshaw, not Johnny Burnette.

[@blzmnky]

yeah well... but if you think this is funny, check out his 'head cat' rockabilly trio, if you haven't seen it already, of course... they play some cool music!

[@KOSMICKEN09]

actually it's originally by a few others before them, like johnny burnette for instance...

[@FelicianB]

@mikexlong you can't top Aerosmith's versions, it's the coolest thing ever.

[@vaaarhoven]

no its not,Motorhead RULES \m/

[@dyr234]

really easy riff

[@antisciaf]

easy riff are the best riff

[@dyr234]

Fuck yeah man no joke

[@RedHollywood24]

[@cardenw]

imo all versions are great in their own way but i prefer aero's

[@brunoongarato4439]

Anybody knows what he sings after "New York City" and the line before "I just couldn´t let her go"?

[@DOKISmusic]

"Going down that old fair lane On the scene, it was so" The original lyrics are "with a heave and a ho", but Lemmy changes it up a bit.

[@RADIOACTIVEBUNY]

@mikexlong Oh dear god, he sounds plastered xD And they mixed up the beginning so much, lol

[@Salf4511]

This was originally done by The Yardbirds, and it was waaaaay better than this

[@FretsOnFire95]

and do you have a link for the head cat rockabilly trio?

[@WhenMineEyesBlack]

fuck it rest!!!

[@FretsOnFire95]

Aww that sucks!!

[@MrGuitardude499]

@TheDarkHalf696 What aren't i aloud to have an opinion?

[@miisu]

So this is not about the trains afterall?

[@LyonGuy]

@NDEESTAEPLZ Seconded

[@FretsOnFire95]

Hmm... well some rope and duct tape would take care of the guys at the door... hehe

[@bezymoucho]

fuuck this version is full on

[@FretsOnFire95]

Speaking from experience?

[@piermechanic38365]

@Ugghhht how am i a wanker? this is america. everyone has the right to voice their opinions.......besides the truth must hurt

[@doomyman]

is it a Yarbirds cover?

[@sha1om]

Well it's inspired by the Yardbirds' version, but the history is more complicated than that... :) There were two songs to start. Tiny Bradshaw recorded a "jump blues" (predecessor of rock'n'roll) called "Train Kept A-Rollin' " in 1951; Big Joe Turner recorded "Honey Hush" in 1953, more or less. Then the Johnny Burnette Rock And Roll Trio covered both those songs, back to back on one 45 about 1954. The famous distorted riff that drives the latter was originated by either Grady Martin or Paul Burlison, depending on whom you believe; both have their partisans and the bickering approaches holy war levels. Then the Yardbirds came along, took the lyric and melody from the A-side, and the riff from the B-side, and combined them both in their version of "Train Kept A Rollin'". This became the definitive performance, and all covers thereafter owe a debt to it.

[@per-olofwiktorsson2650]

sha1om To make things even more complicated; FOGHAT’s cover of “Honey Hush” is not the boogie woogie version of the song that Big Joe Turner wrote but rather the Johnny Burnette Rock’n’ Roll Trio version, with the riff from Train kept a rollin’. Confusing isn't it?

[@rottamato]

Whatever the story, that sound we can heard in the Burnette's version of the two songs is one of the best things ever created by the human kind :D

[@MrGuitardude499]

@TheDarkHalf696 Well, there you go. It's your opinion that my opinion isn't viable.

[@JAMoore0123]

AEROSMITH FOREVER BETTER

[@nofuture92]

Those lyrics are wrong man...

[@inSANEvolitionINC]

Lemmy's vocals are weak on this

[@rockmetallyrics7359]

Blame the low fi

[@DewWolfx]

+Rock&Metal Lyrics Yea, its so much better in high res. This particular video sounds like its in 22kHz which always makes it sound poor.

[@321woowoo]

+Hollywood Devil Bollox are they, he is spot on

[@MrGuitardude499]

Sorry, but i still believe that Aerosmith had the best version. This is a runner up though.

[@CthulhuSkunk]

way better than aerosmith

[@dragonshellya]

its motorhead so yea your argument is invalid

[@TAKACARANOKU]

LED Zeppelin version is the best.

[@cooldaddy2877]

no way...Johnny Burnette forever.

[@silas000000]

aerosmith milveces mejor

[@adrianoalvescorreia527]

Aerosmith's version is the best...

[@cooldaddy2877]

Johnny Burnette will always be the best.

[@willadio]

who was the originator of this song motorhead or aerosmith i hope its motorhead cuz i hate aerosmith

[@billgeezeriommi]

aerosmith kinda sucks

[@metalwillofficial]

@nanarockband That's nothing. Black Sabbath's album "Black Sabbath" was recorded in just a few hours. They had paid for two days in the studio and one day was going to be used for mixing. They went in, played their live set, and then headed off to Switzerland to play a gig. As for your statements about the "Botox-boys" they are better musicians than Motorhead could ever dream of being. And they are a million times better than your pseudo Motorhead-wannabe band. Sorry, but that's the sad truth.

[@ThePauloSSScz]

Metallica version is the best :D

[@EbonyBunny1]

willadio, Tiny Bradshaw is the first to record the song in 1951. Johnny Bernete had the biggest hit with the song in 1956. It is Johnny Bernete's version that everyone covers.

[@EbonyBunny1]

@FelicianB Johnny Burnette's 1956 version is the best, and it's the version every version since has copied.
