Motörhead: The World Is Yours

For over thirty-five years Ian Fraser Kilmister (A.K.A. Lemmy Kilmister) has been changing the face of Heavy Metal and has been making it a lot more fun. After a quick stint with Hawkwind, Lemmy realized that he was ready to form his own band and become the emblem of such band. In 1975, Lemmy formed Motörhead and immediately started making his presence be felt by helping to launch the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal"!

In the early 80's Motörhead had several singles in the UK Top 40 chart. Their albums "Overkill", "Bomber", "Ace of Spades", and "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith", engraved Motörhead as one of the most important Heavy Metal bands to ever come from the UK. To this day, you hear Motörhead's music on movies, TV shows, and covered by bands all over the world. As we all know, Lemmy is one of the most influential Heavy Metal icons of all time, and whoever said that Lemmy is God, is absolutely right.

Their 21st studio album "The World Is Yours", is one of the best albums in the long killer history of the Motörhead franchise. The first track “Born to Lose", which is Lemmy’s slogan (he has it tattooed on his right arm) kicks off the album with furious power. Then, one song after the other the Motörhead train gets loaded on Jack and Coke without losing focus and keeping their batteries charged.


As you can see their single “Get Back in Line" is another Motörhead anthem and the video is killer. Another track that stands out is “Brotherhood of Man”, which has been labeled as the second part of their classic song “Orgasmatron”. While the song is similar in structure, it is Lemmy’s anti-political and anti-establishment lyrics mixed with the heaviest riff in Motörhead’s kick ass history that makes the song have that "Orgasmatron" vibe.

Their song “Outlaw" feels like the lost song from their legendary album "Ace of Spades". The western lyrics and fast frenzied riffing makes for a trip on a Harley down memory lane to a bar where they service JD and Coke all night long, and everyone is waiting for Motörhead to come on stage.

"The World Is Yours" is an amazing album and every member of the human race should own it. Lemmy may be 65, but has proven to have plenty of stamina left! One week from today Motörhead will be performing on the Jimmy Fallon show, following their performance at the Best Buy Theater in Times Square! Be there!
