This is Punk.
why does everyone call them metal?

lemmy i thought you died

>>127292076 (OP)
or as Lemmy once said, "Some people say we're punk, some say we're metal, some say we're hard rock. I say Motorhead just plays rock-and-roll."

>>127292076 (OP)
I just call them rock.

>>127292076 (OP)
More sludge metal than anything

>>127292095
This is the theory I subscribe to. Motorhead is classic 50s rock n' roll and r&b turned up to 11.

>>127292095
based

>this is punk
You faggots say that about everything. Why are punk faggots so delusional

>>127292264
Misfits are punk you dont know shit

>>127292264
lemmy was more of a punk guy

>>127292076 (OP)
>why does everyone call them metal?
because they dressed like metal guys and were extremely influential on metal
I mean mufuckers be calling deftones a metal band; at least motorhead has some cred

>>127292076 (OP)

>>127292227
You can see the influence all over there early work. So many 50s/60s covers

Is this analbumcover cringe or sigma? I can’t tell?

The Birthday Party mogs them in every way/

>>127292506
The Birthday Party doesn't mog shit they have every quality I want in a band except making a single listenable song and they have nothing at all to do with Motorhead

>>127292076 (OP)
Here you go.

>>127292227
Nah.
In the beginning, at least, Motorhead was England's answer to ZZ Top, although a bit faster in many parts.

>>127292076 (OP)
No they weren't.
They were neither.
They were Soul/R&B
Fuck, they were even James Brown's back up band at one time.

“We are Motörhead and we play Rock n Roll!”

Fixed it for you, OP.

was lemmy bnwo?

>>127292325
He played in hawkwind, which is both prog-rock and proto-punk. Lemmy is the daddy of both punk and metal.

>>127292076 (OP)
>>"We are Motorhead, and we play music that sounds like a prototype for bands like slayer, metallica, anthrax etc... and sadly we cant get rid of the metal term because our sound got coopted by most bands that will be defined as metal..."

>>127292076 (OP)
I've always seen them as a swing/bebop power orchestra that used the distorted instruments typical to the 70s psychedelic rock

the differences in rock genres are more about scene fashion and posturing than anything else. late 70s motorhead doesn't sound all that different to early thrash. especially compared to venom who were a blatant motorhead clone on the first two records.

>>127295389
No.
Venom took their cue from Discharge, not Motorhead.

>>127295389
>late 70s motorhead doesn't sound all that different to early thrash
actually it does

>>127292227
They definitely sound like rockabilly with more distortion.

>>127297192
to /metal/ it does, sure. the only difference is it became more chromatic.

>>127295396
cronos has said he loves motorhead
