Monday, January 1: Motörhead, "Shoot You in the Back"
R.I.P. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (1945-2015), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (1950-2018), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (1954-2015)
Whether it was the tightened songwriting and locked-in performances, Vic Maile’s sharp production, or in Fast Eddie Clarke’s telling, simply a very good batch of methamphetamine (probably a combination of all of the above), Ace of Spades found Motörhead leveling up in a big way and crystalizing all the facets that made them uniquely awesome. In some cases, the shift was a little more subtle, as “Shoot You in the Back” wouldn’t have sounded out of place on either Overkill or Bomber, containing a very similar outlaw swagger and groove alongside Lemmy’s rapscallion yarn and only marginally heavier riffing. But Maile figured out exactly how to place Lemmy’s stungun bass in the mix and made his Rickenbacker simultaneously a lead and rhythm instrument in such a way as to give Philthy Phil that much room to sway and pummel. It was a such a perfect balance of sound and power that Motörhead was undeniable and unstoppable, and perfectly believable as marauding cowboys. Western movies!!!
