WATCH: “Ace of Spades” on Church Bells

PILSEN - JULY 4: Singer and bass guitarist Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead during performance at festival Rock for People Europe in Pilsen, Czech republic, July 4, 2015. Photo: Shutterstock


Ok, I’m gonnna say it. This is the single greatest thing you will ever hear come out of a church. You can call me a blasphemer if you will, but I stand by my words.

Last month in the city of Weert in The Netherlands was hosting the Torenfestival. A local guitarist named Jitse Zonneveld got together with Frank Steijns whom not only plays keyboards, but is a bell ringer and is part of Andre Rieu’s Johan Strauss Orchestra. The man has skills.

The two musicians came together to create without question what is the most unique and ass kicking performance of one the best ever metal anthems; “Ace of Spades” from Motorhead.

Watch and you shall agree that this is the greatest sound to ever come from a church. And if you don’t, well, I suppose that’s ok too, but I question your judgement. I’m kidding. Sort of.

All hail the Church of Lemmy. I got freaking goosebumps!
