Ok first off, if you haven't at lest heard of Mötorhead, you've clearly been living in a cave. Pretty much the only first wave heavy metal band I give a shit about, Motörhead has been a band since my dad was 18, and yet they still kick way more ass than bands that are coming out today. Despite having a combined age of 153, the boys prove they can still rock harder than 95% of the bands they've influenced. Despite being almost as old as my grandfather, Lemmy still sounds like he did when he was 35 and Ace of Spades was released.
The lyrical content on Motörizer is fairly standard rock listening with plenty of references to women, one of my favorites has to be "wanna get your hands on a beautiful girl, you've gotta use a Mastercard", I also was tickled by a line from the track "Rock out" in which Lemmy bellows "Rock out, with your cock out, impress your lady friends" , which really begs the question what kind of lady friends does Lemmy have, and how does one go about befriending said ladies. Listening to this album made me wonder, just how dudes this old can rock this hard, I mean usually dudes this old playing in a band is a recipe for really bad dad rock, yet somehow Motörhead totally pulls it off.
This album sort of reminds me of Metallica's stuff before they started to suck, mixed with some AC/DC, with a healthy dose of attitude, and just a little touch of hair metal. the best example of the subtle hair metal influence is the song "English Rose" which sorta sounds like RATT's "Round and Round" except that it doesn't totally suck. Motörhead is on tour this year unfortunately you won't get to see them outside of Europe this year, let's hope 2009 brings a US tour. If your weekend plans include anything that even remotely resembles anything from Motley Crue's "Girls, Girls, Girls" music video, I suggest you go out and buy Motörizer, it's the perfect soundtrack to any sort of hard rocking debauchery. But don't do anything I wouldn't do.
