I do find Lemmy's gruff tones give cover versions a new dimension. I was thinking the same yesterday listening to a Motorhead cover of Priest's Breaking the Law in the car. (You can hear the original on a KFC advert during every World Cup game on ITV by the way.) Motorhead give it that sort of urgency lacking in the original version.
Yes, it's something about his delivery which gives the Lemmy/Motorhead versions, such as the one above, a distinctive nature all of their own, making them very different from the original versions.
