Bomber- legend has it they played in Germany and they had a bomber as a prop hanging from the ceiling and Lemmy says to the crowd "haven't seen one of these in a while have you?' . Hope its true
Vague recollection of hearing this. No idea if true.
Was a lighting rig above the stage and was used in Dresden of all places. Original story was that it was a Lancaster but more likely to be later story of a Heinkel.

Still listening to Motorhead.
Overkill. RIP Eddie.
How many people out there can name another Motorhead song other than 'Ace of Spades' ? ( no Google )
For some reason they're mentioned alongside Sabbath, ACDC, Zep, Gunners etc when they don't really have any right to be.
Its more their influence on heavy metal , than their actual album sales I think.

Hope its trueFair call. I'm a massive music fan and I think their aura exceeds what they actually did which isn't always a bad thing. Every group I mentioned has that one song they're famous for but loads of others. Tough to think of the others with MH

Had one of those strange coincidences where I was recently flicking through Rolling Stone's 500 Greatest Albums, and idly wondered who Nick Drake was - and then he cropped up in the Heath Ledger documentary the other night.
Pretty cool if you like this sort of folksy thing.

This isn't going to be to most peoples tastes but I think even if you don't like the type of music you can appreciate the technical precision here.
I'd only vaguely heard of Meshuggah in metal circles but I occasionally listen to Bill Burr's podcast and he was raving about going to a metal gig to see this legendary drummer and in particular this song Bleed.
He's not wrong, this guy is a machine, how they can time this so well live is incredible. I don't really like the song but the drum and bass line is something to behold.

Again, not to most (or probably any) peoples tastes - Big Daddy. They were an 80's band, with the backstory that in the 50's they were a band who got shipwrecked, to be rescued 30 years later. Now back, they play 80's covers in the style of different 50's songs.
Unlike many novelty acts (e.g. Dread Zeppelin) they are really good musicians, and do a wide range of different styles
This song is Rick James's Super Freak

I'm not into thrash or extreme metal but there are plenty of videos on YT showing drummers that have amazing speed on the double bass and with their hands. It all sounds the same to me after a while.
I've seen many of the best prog drummers live. They still have the chops and amazing technique but prove that less is more.

@bovidae I know what you mean about speed not necessarily meaning skill etc and I know a lot of drummers that fall into that category but listening to other drummers speak about this song in particular it is the technical ability here that they are impressed with. The drummer Haake is known for his complexity and use of polyrhythms (he's also the main writer for the band) its regarded as one of the most complex drum pieces out there and apparently nearly didn't make the album cause even he struggled to become proficient at it.
I'm not a drummer and can't adequately explain it but there is a lot going on here it's just a bit of a shame that the vocals kind of distract from it.

I personally reckon the best rock drummer I've ever heard is probably Deep Purples Ian Paice.
