Friday, July 14: Motörhead, "Tear Ya Down"

R.I.P. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (1945-2015), "Fast Eddie" Clarke (1950-2018), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (1954-2015)

By Motörhead standards, Overkill wasn’t nearly as heavy as most of the brawling barnburners they would put out over the next 35 or so years.  But it was more than a little shocking in 1979, and “Tear Ya Down” helped introduce the band’s overall concept with a distinctly Lemmy blend of aggression, speed and swagger.  Jimmy Miller’s mix put the vocals in the back a bit, but one could easily make out the classic Lemmy charm, and in a lot of ways the tune was closer to his vision and mission statement as it played like a grooving classic rock and roll number even with the stungun bass, unhinged drumming from Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie Clarke’s all-attitude soloing.  The basic influences were apparent, but Motörhead was an entity unto itself, and “Tear Ya Down” was a prime early instance of their singularity.

"No, No, No, God's A Lot Taller!": Motorhead Live at Starland Ballroom, March 9th, 2005

I knew it’d take a while for me to get to covering this show; I simply didn’t realize it’d take me more than two years since I wrote about my previous concert experience leading up to this point, which took place just four months prior. But in the case of this particular experience, there are a few moving parts here. I’ll get to that momentarily. But any time from here on in that I write about…

I posted this elsewhere on the anniversary of his passing and forgot to drop it here.

7 years ago he left this world for whatever is beyond. He did not go gently into the night, not at all. He raged against the dying of the light. If any person ever lived up to that Dylan Thomas poem it was Lemmy. He lived life on his own terms and nobody else's. He played loud and hard, and he LIVED loud and hard. Like his music or not, he SHOULD be an inspiration to everyone on how to approach your life. I have forgotten that a bit, but hopefully standing by his statue in the place he loved above all will help me refocus on that.

Born to Lose, Live to Win.

Gone but never forgotten.

“If you’re going to be a fucking rock star, go be one. People don’t want to see the guy next door on stage; they want to see a being from another planet.”

Friday, January 27: Motörhead, “Civil War”

R.I.P. Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister (1945-2015)

Although Motörhead was working as a trio for the first time in over a decade, “Civil War” opened Overnight Sensation with the same sort of full-throttle fury the band accomplished during the Würzel years, proving that the Kilmister/ Campbell/Dee combo was more than capable enough to sustain itself.  Lemmy may not have had anything to prove by this point, but Phil Campbell showed he could handle all guitar duties by plowing trough a central riff that was steady and deceptively simple in its steamrolling, perfectly keeping up with Mikkey Dee’s similarly stealthy drumming- his percussion had the necessary attack, but he layered in semi-progressive flourishes honed during his early years with King Diamond.  All of this made “Civil War” both a prototypical Motörhead barnburner and also its own thing that reflected the chemistry of this lineup: it flattened the room, and Lemmy’s lyrics and snarl were as cutting as ever, but there was a sophistication lurking underneath that could have only come from these three individuals working together.

What did Lemmy mean to the metal world?

Today on The Metal Voice

Note

He also provided the lead vocals on several songs for Hawkwind, including the band's biggest UK chart single, "Silver Machine", which reached #3 in 1972

Holy shit pokemon scarlet has such amazing story beats I already got the feels a few times but I just finished one of the main quests and I'm bawling my eyes the fuck out.

This game is fucking great I didn't expect one of the games to hit me this hard in the feels fuck.

(Also don't @ me with the technical problems of the game i did not experience any of those and I would not recognize frame rate drops or whatever if it suckerpunched me in the face so I have zero complains about the game)
