[@DanielRodriguez-hp1rx]

Fun Fact: Lemmy has said before that he identifys better with bands like the Ramones than bands like Metallica or Black Sabbath, and that Motorhead isn't heavy metal it's just "loud rock n' roll" .

[@robsgirl6465]

Daniel Fuentes : So true. I'm trying to put an experimental project together. Two basses and a drummer. One bass will be 4-string and play traditional DeeDee Ramone style bass lines (fast and heavy all down strokes) while the second bass will be 12-string and played like Lemmy. Think Motorhead meets the Ramones! No fancy lead solo work. Just loud, fast, and ultra-heavy rock-n-roll. Sadly, no one seems interested in joining such an endeavor.

[@quinnmuller8233]

Did it ever work out?

[@tomdickharryjane]

And that is the way they stayed to the end.

[@riversplit8206]

Lemmy was not kicked from Hawkwind for doing drugs. In his own words he was kicked for doing the wrong type of drugs

[@killval849]

yeah it was amphetamine that lemmy was into, he was infamous for hating cocaine.

[@laurenceorgan-jennings8134]

Saw them live at Oxford, the next day, I had to go to the doctors to get my ears examined. No joke

[@luizbl]

Yea, I saw them live once several years ago and I remember I could not sleep that night due to the loudest ringing in my ears ever.

[@TheJerseyShark]

I still will never forget the fact that they were in the SpongeBob Squarepants Movie, and I will always watch the movie just to see that part!

[@heavymeddle28]

Had a girlfriend who was crazy about Motörhead and I went along once to see them live... Wow?! And I'm old enough to have seen led zeppelin and pink floyd. Motörhead was awesome 😊

[@thomastracy7532]

motorhead was one of the greatest bands ever

[@antoinemouthon6501]

RIP Lemmy. He would've been 71 today, and it's gonna be a year since he died.

[@user-we2fn5zi7o]

75...

[@matthewatwood8641]

Him & Jerry. Never met either one but I weep when I think about them being gone. I mean weep. Only other person I feel that way about is my Dad - of course I met him once or twice, lol.

[@WatchMojo]

Yep. I believe the quote was "personal comfort, that's all. It's also one way of avoiding seeing the audience. In the days when we only had ten people and a dog, it was a way of avoiding seeing that we only had ten people and a dog". Another bit of trivia: Lemmy is/was known to drink a bottle of Jack Daniels each day, every day for the past 35 years!

[@garybusey1772]

RIP lemmy and Phil you guys will live on forever through your incredible music!

[@bigmcdick4916]

You guys forgot to mention when they were officially named the worlds loudest band

[@fernandodmc]

Best band in the world in my opnion

[@krishanuA]

FACTS!

[@brentbowman4498]

He wasn't kicked out of Hawkwind just because his drug habit, it was because he did the "wrong" drugs

[@antekm2639]

Hence the name Motörhead. Speed freaks!

[@wilhelmheinrich7502]

I saw Motörhead in Detroit a few months before Lemmy left us to enter an alternate universe filled with beautiful women and hard liquor. I will never forget it.

[@Metalcomedienne]

RIP Phil (1954-2015) and RIP Lemmy (1945-2015). Long live Motorhead.

[@lindahaugh4711]

Noah He died in 1970

[@adbana2800]

No! He was not kicked out of Hawkwind for having a "serious drug habit"! He was kicked out because he was doing doing DIFFERENT DRUGS to the rest of the band (Lemmy & Dick Mick were into speed and LSD) as Hawkwind were into organic drugs. In the words of Lemmy, he was kicked out due to classic 70's drug snobbery.

[@capribreezee]

Lemmy is a machine \m/

[@tomdickharryjane]

Was.

[@sar21180]

I know that it's not a big part of their history, but as a WWE fan, Motorhead sang the theme songs for HHH( Paul Levesque). "Bow down to the king" and " Time to play the game", the latter still being used as HHH theme song. Just thought that I should add that fact. Thank you.

[@Zoolander824]

excatly my thought thank u bro

[@taniellewilson1986]

Every band that has played for wwe finds some success

[@ednunes9517]

Triple H and Motorhead = AWESOME!

[@Djarra]

'Bow Down to the King' was actually written as walk on music for darts player Mervyn King who is a mates with Phil C it was two years later that Trip started using it.

[@darthultor6365]

sar21180 dont forget line in the sand for evolution

[@lemmythebulldog8812]

One thing got to realize remember the spongebob movie the scene with spongebob and patrick enter the thug tug, lemmy rewrote some of the lyrics to "you better run" made the lyrics kid friendly, the track can be found on youtube as "you better swim"

[@ironfist323]

the best live band ever!!!! totaly fucking awsome.... nuff sed!!!

[@crystalc1ear]

The songs Larry Wallis (old member) wrote for Dr Feelgood are really great.

[@WatchMojo]

Will consider, for sure.

[@roelofzinn8227]

Motörhead is my ALL TIME favourite band. Rock 'n' fuckin' Roll!!!

[@riveraricardo008]

Got to love " Dead men tell no tales " because they DON'T Seen them near Norwich England in 1980. Not sure of where it was exactly , because i was picked up by a van load of " Friend's " the M/C club Highway Men some of there Members at the time and driven to the concert. That will teach me to walk down the road. Found out later they were looking for me to go with them. Muscles come in handy, and i was out looking for trouble anyway.... Had a great time and not to many people i know can say they seen Motorhead Live... RIP Lemmy

[@goplanit]

2 years too late but it was 15th March, West Runton Pavilion, it was the only place near Norwich they played in 1980. I was there, as I have been for 25 times over the years at various concerts.

[@tomitstube]

motorhead is the epitome of survival, musically and physically, lemmy should donate his body to science if he ever dies.

[@suitnthaiguy]

Damn. Rock god level - expert. As far as the mic being comfortable on his voice specifically, I couldn't find the exact interview, but I know I either read it in an article when I was a kid (80's) or in an interview for the "rockumentary" History of Heavy Metal. My memory isn't what it used to be though. lol

Motorhead is still around, they are now playing the entrance for WWE superstar known as Triple H. He is the game, the cerbral assain, and the king of kings. Ever heard of The game, Line in the sand, and the King of kings songs. They are great, you should check them out sometime

i want to see this band so bad their amazing

[@blood4snakebiteb253]

something worth watching, nice

[@suitnthaiguy]

True pioneers and forefathers of the punk era. Trivia fact not included by @WatchMojo, Lemmy positions the mic at an extreme downward angle for two reasons. He has been quoted that is is more "comfortable" on his vocal chords because of his singing style and allows him to avoid looking at the audience. Rumor is that it started when they were only playing for a few people, and he didn't want to be reminded of that fact as they were playing.

Not a big deal, but you neglected to mention that Phil Taylor returned as drummer for the albums "Rock and Roll" and "1916." (And it doesn't look like you listed "1916" at all, which is one the better albums in their catalog.)

[@astrog7361]

rip lemmy

[@jeanssi3668]

One thing that you could have added was about Robertson, how he refused to play bands classics on tour and his mental health was unbalanced, and was _kicked_ out of the band. Because of the "bad" tours with Robbo and unsuccess of "Another perfect day" the bands fanbase was really, really low in 1984. But the mega success of "Killed by Death"- single really saved motörhead. Otherwise, key things covered, good video! =D Next Saxon please? ^_^

[@vandalking8341]

Heavy Metal??? They are Motörhead, and they play ROCK AND ROLL!!!

[@ElectronJohnSA]
