really the only analogs i can think of are proto-rock garage and psych speed freak anthems like "My Generation" and "Psychotic Reaction"

this would be a really nice day for someone to leak a Lemmy-Hendrix jam, they must have taped something sometime.
if not then they are now. RIP

i prefer the On Parole versions of these songs
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.

BTW I only recently discovered Eddie played lead on the two Curtis Knight (&) Zeus albums! Tasty:

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.

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!

My wife coming home from work last Saturday night: "Have you just been listening to Motorhead all day?"Me: "Yes"

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.
― dow, Sunday, 17 March 2019 21:57 (five years ago) link
Lemmy would have been 74 today. I'm listening to a live concert from 1983, included as a bonus disc with the deluxe edition of the very underrated Another Perfect Day. Brian Robertson was a great choice to be their guitarist; it's a shame he didn't want to fully commit to the Motörhead weltanschauung.

Considering the number of musicians who dies in 2016, I'm reminded of his comment on the line "I don't wanna live forever" from 'Ace Of Spades': "I'd like to die the year before forever, to avoid the rush."

On Leno in 1992. I love Lemmy goes over to the house band and gives Branford something before his short interview with Jay.
