Chords for Motorhead's Loudness (From The Lemmy Movie)

The first gig I ever saw, first Motorhead show I ever went to_
_was
at Long Beach Arena.
And, uh, Lemmy was opening up for Ozzy.
I saw them open for Ozzy on, uh, Blizzard of Oz, on Ozzy's first tour.
They opened for Ozzy at the Palladium in New York City.
This is, like, 81.
It was the original lineup with Filthy and Eddie Clark.
And it was the loudest_
One of the loudest shows I think I'd ever been to.
Most people at the Palladium that night, it was like a 3,000-seater.
They had no idea.
They were just_
It was like that_
What's that commercial?
With the guy sitting in the chair with the_
Getting blown back.
Most people kind of had this stunned look on their faces_
_after
Motorhead was finished, and just like, where's Ozzy?
Still to this day, it's very memorable_
_as
being one of the loudest shows I've ever seen.
And, uh, it was really noisy.
It was just, like, loud and static.
Now, I've seen them a bunch of times.
I've never heard them sound exactly like that.
But that fucking made a huge [E] impression on me_
_because
it was just [A] so almost violent.
_ [D]
Two.
[Ab] One, two.
_ [E] Two.
One, [Ab] two.
_ Noisy.
_ [Db] _ _ _ _
_ [Abm] I won't go onstage while they're [E] playing, because it's too loud for me.
It's just incredibly high level, incredible amounts [Cm] of high mid_
_and
it makes your eardrums rattle.
[F] On the odd occasion I have been up there_
[Cm] _it
feels as if my eardrums are vibrating.
I know that's how they work, but, like, [A] over-vibrating.
[Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ [Bb] Love the vibrato.
[Eb] _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ [Ab] _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
Sounds unbundled every [B] time.
Sounds all right.
I've done a few gigs with Motorhead and gone to soundcheck with him.
It's so fucking loud.
You really can't do much.
So, you know, there's a lot of yelling going on.
Fuck! _
[Gb] _ _ [Fm] That's perfect.
Just a bit more.
I'd say the Motorhead onstage sound is like three blind men fighting.
You know what I mean?
Like, you start off with a soundtrack level_
_then
somebody wants something louder.
[A] And then because that's louder, it's affected someone else's sound_
_and
that gets louder.
And then it has a knock-on effect to somebody else's sound_
_so
their stuff gets louder, and then you go back to the first guy [Bb] again_
_and
then their stuff gets louder, and it just goes round and [D] round_
_until
it's just a huge fucking noise.
If you've got a new guy up on the stage there_
_you'd
probably be deaf in a month or [C] so.
But you do get used [Gb] to it.
[Ab] My wife wants me to wear a urine aid.
She [Eb] wants to get me a urine aid for me at Christmas.
She said she's fed up of repeating herself.
And I can't even hear the [B] stacks.
They're on full blast, and I can't even hear them.
Right next to them.
How bad is [Db] that?
It's [D] very, very loud.
Then it's [G]
insanely loud.
And then there's hospital loud, you know.
And I'd say we're borderline right [A] now_
_from
insanely loud to [Ab] hospital loud. _ _ _ _ _
Have you just turned up, Phil?
[G] You've turned up, yeah?
Roger, did you turn him up? _
Yes.
[Ab] Now.
Turn him down.
_ An ear doctor would probably be amazed at just how well [D] Lemmy can hear_
_considering
the abuse he gives his ears.
There's one thing about Lemmy.
He'll always hear you if you offer him a drink_
[Ab] _even
if you walk up behind him.
_ [Eb] _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ebm] _ _ _ _
_ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
_ _ _ _ [Ab] _ _ [Ebm] _ _
[Db] Fucking microphone.
What's the point?
Did you know that was [Bb] dead?
I've _ already tested them out before.
_ _ [Db] _
_ _ We went through eight monitor guys one time in 11 days.
[Gb]
And this one guy, I remember, turned up.
He was so funny.
I think he was number six.
[B] And this guy came.
We were just about to start soundcheck_
_and
this guy turned up [C] straight off the train.
He came into the gig.
[Eb] We had this little [C] briefcase.
I think Hobbsie introduced him to Lemmy.
[Gbm] He shook his hand.
He said, ''No, Lemmy, yes, I've [Bb] heard about the plumbers with the 74.9 decibels.''
And Lemmy said, ''He's fired.''
And the guy just went, ''Oh, I'm on the train.''
Too technical.
It wouldn't work with us.
That was funny as shit.
_ _ _ _ [Db] _ _
_ [Ab] _ _ _ [Eb] _ _ _
There was one time on a Nazi tour he was just screaming at this poor monitor guy.
This guy named Gunk Selg was his name.
He was one of Willie Nelson's old sound guys.
He worked for Ozzy and he did Motorhead 2, who was the opening act at this point.
He's just screaming at this guy.
He said, ''Do you hear the shit coming out of the monitors here?
Do you hear that shit?''
And Gunk said, ''No, I don't.''
He looks him right in the eye and says, ''That's me.
Turn it up.''.' Everything Loud and Everything Else was first [G] coined_ _by our long-term but now retired monitor engineer known as Eagle. It was a description [E] of what it's like doing Motorhead's monitors. Nobody asked for anything to [A] be turned down. Turn this up, turn that up, turn something else up. So everything [Ab] louder than everything else. _ _ _ _ We were in the [D] rehearsal room. I remember that well. It [N] was probably the same size as this. And the same week Jimmy Page was rehearsing_ _and Jimmy came into the same room and it was tiny like this. He happened to come in and we were rehearsing the set all the way through_ _without stopping, and poor Jimmy came in about three songs before the end_ _and he was back up against the wall like that. We couldn't dare say anything. He never tried to talk or something. _ Poor bastard. He was there for three songs, taking a paste in. We're the loudest band in the world in the Guinness Book of Records. That's what people want. They want it loud. They want it loud, they want it fast, they want it_ ''lemme.'' [Gb] Is it loud enough? Are [F] _ you sure about it? Is the sweet sound of_ [Db] ''So close.'' _ _ _ _ _ _ _ _
