I filled in for the host at a bar quiz tonight. I played Motörhead and Hawkwind tracks between rounds. I had to conduct a tiebraker, which I chose to do in the form of an AirGuitar-Off.
I picked "Ace of Spades" for the song.
One of my contestants in this contest hopped up on a table and then jumped off.
He did this for a $5 giftcard to the bar.

I posted a bunch of motorhead songs on facebook on tuesday with one linked in the OP and several following in the comments down below. Last night, I got a solitary "Like" from my dad, for the song 1916. He's an old peacenik, so I can see a ballad mourning the brutality of war being right up his alley. But it was toward the end of the pack so I'm imagining him sitting through a slew of live renditions of more classic Motorhead tracks like Overkill and Iron Fist before he got there.

Spotted a tall stack of flyers for the upcoming Motörhead gig at a luxury department store today, on the counter of the perfume section.

listening to Motorhead and On Parole today. i prefer the On Parole versions of these songs, especially "Vibrator", which has a really cool trippy Revolver-style drone ending. i can't seem to find that version on youtube otherwise i'd post it.

They're really, really good - as a fan of the Pink Fairies w/Larry Wallis, hearing him play with Lemmy is awesome and I kind of wonder how it would've gone if he'd stayed with the band. I mean, just in an alternate universe sci-fi scenario, you know, because I wouldn't want to lose Overkill, Bomber or Ace of Spades.

This from last year is very Lemmy:
There ain't no rules to follow, you can't predict tomorrowI know just who my friends are, the rest can turn to stoneYour memories are yours alone;They're yours until your dust and bonesI know the things I'm looking for, I know just what I want
In my life the times has changed, I'm still the man I wasI don't want to hear your fairy talesAll I know is who I am; I'll never let you downThe last one you can trust until the end, until the end
In your life, you'll be amazed at all the love you loseYou can never live that life againThe one thing you will never lose is the singing in your headThat will still be with you until the end

Listening to bunches of Motorhead over the past few years, I got to say their discography is very consistent. There are good tunes on all of the later records with Phil and Mikkey Dee. I'd think as time goes on, you will see quite a few covers come out from other bands on their list of songs. You could make a damn good rockabilly record of all Motorhead covers.

People say it about many (underserving) bands, but Motorhead really never fell off.

aw man, RIP. I can always appreciate any Motorhead, but the Fast Eddie-era was always my favourite, particularly for this one:

RIP Eddie. Step Down is a jam btw, but then so was pretty much everything he did with Motorhead.

Step Down is cool, it's one tune where you can really hear the Hendrix in his playing.
Yeah that Curtis Knight connection in a good rock and roll happenstance, considering Hendrix was a side man with that guy too and Lemmy roadied for Jimi.
― earlnash, Sunday, 14 January 2018 00:40 (six years ago) link
So for various reasons over the years I had never really listened to Motorhead. Obviously I've heard them, I mean I've read Lemmy's book & watched the doc, but I never owned a record or sat and really listened. Even though I am pretty good friends with a Motorhead fanatic (actually that might explain some of it) and I generally love greasy, English 70s freak rock (Pink Fairies, Stack Waddy, Deviants, I love Mick Farren, etc).
Anyway, a gap in my knowledge.
So I sort of randomly decided on the 28th, since I was on vacation I would listen to Motorhead and I listened to a lot! They were pretty good! They have way better songs then anyone gives them credit for and more, I don't want to say "groove" exactly but there is something going on in the rhythm section. "On Parole" and "Overkill" are my faves.
Motorhead, check them out!

Well... in actuality, lots of people give Motorhead immense credit for having written many, many great songs.And Lemmy is regarded by the cognoscenti as having been one of the all-time great rock bassists.
― Vast Halo, Wednesday, 2 January 2019 21:34 (five years ago) link
I've been contemplating that the 1981 Who track "The Quiet One" was Entwistle taking on Motorhead, the way "Rough Boys" and other Townshend tracks of the era are directed to the punks.

If I was a big music manager mogul working for Ozzy Osbourne, I would tell him to make a cover of "Till the End" off the last Motorhead record.
"The Quiet One" would have been an excellent song for Motorhead to cover.
― earlnash, Sunday, 17 March 2019 01:30 (five years ago) link
Lots of excellent tracks on the last few albums, always underrated as a songwriter.
― bendy, Sunday, 17 March 2019 14:01 (five years ago) link
That fairly recent covers collection was good too: Lemmy was a fair judge of other people's songs as well.
