Will you kindly explain what was classic about motorhead?
If you don't know, you would not understand. Take it you are not into rock or metal?That trio wrote and performed the Ace of Spades album. Anyone who is not deaf will have heard, knowingly or not, at least one song from the album, which was hugely influential in the music world.

Anyone here who saw the bomber, or the iron fist tour stage show? Fabulous.
Sadly not, but I did catch Motorhead's last UK tour in 2014, in Birmingham, when both Fast Eddie and Philthy Animal joined them on stage.Taylor was too far gone to play, but did say a brief hello on the mic, but Fast Eddie joined the band and played lead for Ace of Spades, which was just fantastic. As great a lead guitarist as Phil Campbell certainly is, hearing the way Clarke played was spine-tingling - because it really is just as the album.

I've always regarded this line up as the real Motorhead. Bomber, Motorhead, and the whole No Sleep Til Hammersmith album is their best work i think. Great live shows for those albums. Anyone here who saw the bomber, or the iron fist tour stage show? Fabulous.
We were the road crew."Turn it UP"

I do feel that it is best that I don't post anything else here during this sad time that Motorhead fans are experiencing
RIP

Motorhead were a classic rock band, full stop, end of. The helped to influence the genre and inspire subsequent generations; Metallica, one of the biggest live bands on the planet will, to a man, admit they were a massive influence.
Now you have explained something to me, I have some Metallica music and was unaware that Motorhead were a massive influence on themThank you for this and please excuse my ignorance, I tend to listen more to music than read up on the origins of bands etc due to not wishing to be influenced by media garbage

If you like rock, you need to find out about Motorhead, especially Lemmy!

I had to stop watching the video you linked me to due to it unfortunately having Nazi content

Yes I had seen them before this at a really small venue in Manchester (probably The Electric Circus) where they used the same gear as they would have at The Free Trade Hall :-)
And saw them a number of times after
I bought their first album based only on reading a review of it (this band will make your lawn die etc) and it was right up my street to say the least.
I thought they started to go down hill once Eddie left. The album with Brian Robertson was not bad but after that they got a bit formulaic for me.
But those first few albums with Lemmy, Phil and Eddie were something really special IMO.
RIP Fast Eddie.
