They were Motorhead. And they played rock and roll.

[@mostlykeith]

Those who can do, and those who can’t react It seems...

[@HenryFordOfficial]

Fast Eddie is the most underrated guitarist in metal history

[@NintenDub]

Agreed. Dudes never mentioned but he was a great. He was the best fit for motorhead

[@acoustics450]

ARE and DO.

[@blackinblue11]

He just had that right sound..ballsy loud low gain. Phil is great guitarist, but his sound is just awful for me, sounds like a wah and plus he was always hanging on wah.

[@jeremybilbrey1133]

all of these guys are gone...the original Motorhead

[@fezhat7096]

Not quite, the original line up was Lemmy, Larry Wallis and Lucas Fox. BUT the line up in this video was the best.

[@Chillton]

It's called OVERKILL for a reason.

[@krischan67]

10:28 is among the greatest moments of Rock'n Roll! I've never heard anything like that before and again. Gorgeous!

[@maxgemstone7257]

Thanks for bringing in Dennis again! The guy is an absolute legend. Maybe have him react to his own music one day?

[@hofa_en]

Hi Max, thanks for your feedback! We'll ask him 😉

[@dapeep6704]

RIP Lemmy

[@neilmurrell281]

You really need to listen to the live version from No Sleep 'til Hammersmith.

[@seabasssimpson4547]

Phil Taylor doesn't get near the recognition he deserves, he practically invented metal/ thrash drumming with that double bass drum attack. Plus he had the best hair in the business!

[@blackinblue11]

Tight tight tight, groove and swing, the ACCENTS in every riff.. his hi hat work is like no one else. And agreed about the hair:) Cheers, forever Motorhead!

[@ak-id1yh]

Interesting. Maybe one day the platinum engineer could talk about a 3rd Unisonic album 😊

[@Twobarpsi]

I hear that chorus effect on the guitar as well.

[@andrewelliott4436]

Motorhead Lives!

[@_l3m35_]

When I saw the thumbnail I thought "hey J Mascis reacting?"

[@Вольноетворчество-п3ы]

Very interesting analysis of an atypical song of my favorite band! Thank you. Perhaps all talk only about Ace of Spades... I was open again this song for me a little time ago. It was nice to hear about what makes Motorhead music special. Interesting note about Lemmy's voice. I thought I was the only one who noticed that he had two voices in one. One clear and the second deep sound of hoarseness. You are imbued with great respect for the singer, who does not have high natural skills, but is working on his voice. (God was never on u side / Dead and Gone / Dont let daddy kiss me / Too good to be true) thx for video, Dennis

[@colinturcinov4002]

One of mine favourite mixing desks is the Neve console or should I say consoles that at one stage where selling for next to nothing and then went through the roof ( price wise ) over night, and I believe were made in the US of A but also I know that the British made some good consoles as well. Just a reactions to your pre-amp remark and saturation.

[@michaelashley5380]

i love this song. the drums do pan that way as when you see them.libe it make your head actually move. I was at a concert and before they started Phil kicked one drum and sent my head one way and the snare took it back the other. I think these are tricks Lemmy learned with hawkwind.

[@HenryFordOfficial]

doubled vox was an Ozzy thing before Lemmy

[@CrazyhorseDK]

never forgotten motorhead /dio and alot of the old school bands/guys im glad i lived in their time

[@annebokma4637]

You talk like your gear doesnt go to 11 on every knob 😂😂 Why was Satan quiet? Lemmy stole his voice 😂

[@andystone6777]

Lem once said he trained his voice with 1 bottle of Jack Daniels each and every day :-)

[@MetalBastards666]

base drum panned - ear candy

[@BlazonStone]

7:18 try telling that to Judas Priest :D

[@songoflovemetalofficial]

Overkill

[@patoconnell3887]

Saw Them live in 1979 . Made your Ears Bleed

[@Twobarpsi]

I could get a distorted effect recording to tape by over saturating the tape with a high recording level. By setting the record level +5 to +7dB, vs 3dB where it was cleaner? Maybe they did a little of this?

[@calvertphoto]

I love Overkill. It's like a musical brain haemorrhage.

[@bryonbennett9017]

As talented as lemmy was today he would not be given a chance

[@martin-vg7hf]

would i be wrong to say that the saturation (wall of sound effect) was perfected in his time with Hawkwind. Especially on the live album from the do re me tour?

[@muleman72]

Overkill the band does what it says on the tin

[@halfogre6373]

You win some you lose some it’s the same to me I don’t wanna live forever

[@razrhiannaspiers8506]

If you would like to react to a recommended song, I recommend the artist Aesthetic Perfection with the song Gods & Gold

[@hofa_en]

Hello Raz, thanks a lot for the suggestion! Can't promise, but will add it to my list 🙂 Best wishes

[@mostlykeith]

Those who can do, and those who can’t react It seems...

[@someguy4262]

I'll never understand Motorhead's popularity. Give me any single song and I like it. Give me multiple songs in a row and I'm bored. They pretty much just wrote the same song over and over and over.

[@mcfcguvnors]

Pity they mimed this for UK TV :/
