Video footage from Dunstable Civic Hall, 7th July 1972. Motörhead audio recorded at Olympic Studios in January 1975 & released as the Kings Of Speed single B Side on 7th March 1975.

Lemmy - I was on tour with Hawkwind in 1974, we were staying at the Riot House [Hyatt Hotel in Los Angeles] and Roy Wood and Wizzard were also in town. I got this urge to write a song in the middle of the night. I ran downstairs to the Wizzard room, got Roy's Ovation acoustic guitar, then hurried back to mine. I went on to the balcony and howled away for four hours. Cars were stopping and the drivers were listening then driving off, and there I was yelling away at the top of my voice.


Sunrise, wrong side of another day,
Sky high and six thousand miles away,
Don't know how long I've been awake,
Wound up in an amazing state,
Can't get enough,
And you know it's righteous stuff,
Goes up like prices at Christmas,
Motorhead, you can call me Motorhead, alright

Brain dead, total amnesia,
Get some mental anesthesia,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
And if I can't be wrong I could be right,
All good clean fun,
Have another stick of gum,
Man, you look better already,
Motorhead, remember me now Motorhead, alright

Fourth day, five day marathon,
We're moving like a parallelogram,
Don't move, I'll shut the door and kill the lights,
I guess I'll see you all on the ice,
I should be tired,
And all I am is wired,
Ain't felt this good for an hour,

Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead alright
Yeah, yeah, Motorhead, remember me now, Motorhead
Motorhead, Motorhead yeah, yeah

    I saw Hawkwind and Motorhead play Birmingham town hall in 1977. For the encore both bands came out together and played Lemmys Hawkwind numbers. Lost Johnny, Motorhead, The Watcher . Great vibes, great concert, the absolute dogs bollocks.

    Best version. So unique, and timeless.
  • @sydpink

  • @timnolan4407
    Lemmy. Wrote the song. It's still amazing. When Hawkwind. Play it.
  • @johncarroll2285
    Great to hear the original version before Lem re_ calibrated it for his new band. Top lyrics about his favourite "wrong" drug..Thank feck for the firing, resulting in 40 years of sublime rock and roll.
  • @guitarlovers1
    It almost feels weird to hear Lemmy playing the bass without distortion...
  • @dsam6990
    I have this on a 45 single sitting in someones attic... was a fan of both groups back in the day... good job they fired Lemmy!!! so he could do justice to this song

    Какой же угар творится на сцене. Они ж ещё и изрдно упоротые) Веселье.

    This video is from the song 'Silver Machine' not Motorhead, that song would not have been written for at least 18 months after this footage.

  • Hawkwind were absolutely one of the most interesting bands of all time 😊 very difficult to categorize 😂
  • Едно от най-яките парчета на Моторхейд.Като слушам това парче преминавам в друго измерение.Това е една кулминация на музикалното изкуство.Почивай в мир Леми!!!
