Legendary Rock N' Roll band MOTÖRHEAD is chronicled in a new collectable book, "Motörhead: Live To Win", by Alan Burridge, set to be released on August 28 via Cleopatra. Here is the official book description:
"The book starts in those early days in the 1970s, when the rocky start and personal struggles of the band threatened to keep it on the ground. But with Lemmy's focus and gutsy determination, the late part of the decade showed success in the U.K. The MOTÖRHEAD world domination of the 1980s and 1990s, including the release of 'Ace Of Spades', 'Bastards' and more, is chronicled with stories from nearly twenty years of heavy touring with everyone from DIO to OZZY OSBOURNE. The book concludes present day, with Lemmy cemented as a rock icon beside long-time bandmates Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, and still driving that MOTÖRHEAD train in music history."
"Motörhead: Live To Win" will be available in stores and at online retailers for $36.98. The book is 220 full-color glossy pages with shiny silver trim, and includes a collectible full-color bookmark. The cover features a red and silver foil logo on black leatherette.
In a recent interview with Artisan News, Motörhead's frontman Lemmy Kilmister responded with anger when asked about the loss of his 'Ace Of Spades' jacket. “They lost my ‘Ace of Spades’ tour jacket. They had this Heavy Metal presentation thing and they said could they borrow a pair of boots and a bass and my ‘Ace Of Spades’ tour jacket, so I lent it to them, and they said they lost it. A likely story. Look me in the eye and tell me again. One of their girlfriends is wearing it, no doubt.”
Lemmy is still fuming over the loss. When asked if he would feel better about things if he was inducted into the Hall, he said, “What honor? They owe me a jacket before I’ll even speak to them.”

This past Monday we had the chance to catch the legendary Heavy Metal band Motörhead live and loud at New York City's Best Buy Theater in Times Square. As we all know not only is Motörhead one of the most influential Heavy Metal bands of all time, but lets not forget that their singer/song writer/bassist/badass Lemmy Kilmister is GOD! Or as Oderus from Gwar puts it: "the Metallic Pope"!
After over 35 years of extreme hard work, drinking, partying and taking all over the world, some may think that the band might be getting old and that they are becoming irrelevant. Rest assured that when it comes to Motörhead this equation does not apply, specially not after the release of their new album titled "The World Is Yours". The band sounds fresh, tight as hell, and just like with fine Whiskey: the more they age, the better they get.
From the moment they stepped on stage and faced the 2100 fans who sold it out the show, the entire room went absolutely insane! In the many years we have been attending concerts, we have never seen a crowd throw so many Horns UP as they did whenever Lemmy interacted with the furious crowd! The band played classics such as "Ace Of Spades" and "Overkill", and were joined by the beautifully talented Doro Pesch when they performed "Killed By Death". Additionally, drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell played very impressive solos!
SETLIST:
1) We Are Motörhead 2) Stay Clean 3) Get Back In Line 4) Metropolis 5) Over the Top 6) One Night Stand 7) Rock Out Guitar Solo 8)The Thousand Names of God 9) I Got Mine 10) I Know How to Die 11) The Chase Is Better Than the Catch 12) In the Name of Tragedy (including Drum Solo) 13) Just 'Cos You Got the Power 14) Going to Brazil 15) Killed by Death (with Doro Pesch) 16) Ace of Spades
Encore: Overkill
Here is a video we produced which proves what we are talking about! It features a drum solo by Mikkey Dee, their classic song "Killed By Death" (featuring Doro Pesch) and of course "Ace Of Spades"!
If there is a man that should have a statue in London's Trafalgar Square, its Lemmy Kilmister! And if Motörhead does not get inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame, we will personally start a riot! \m/
