Breezy's Top 15 of 2011! #8

This is a band that never disappoints.  #8 Motorhead - The World Is Yours

I've been a huge fan of Motorhead for many years.  I've seen them live a couple of times as well, and they still are one of the best bands on the planet.  For anyone that has been following their career, you'll know that time has been kind to Lemmy and Co.  Since 1995's Sacrifice, through to 2002's Hammered (and all in between), and to the current record, they have continued to put out fantastic hard rock, and are one of the bands latter day output that stands with or above their classic albums.  Motorhead is a band you either love or hate.  Like their contemporaries, AC/DC, they don't stray too far from the classic sound, and keep it meat and potatoes.  Having said that, the current lineup breaks the mould a bit here and there strictly due to the great musicianship.  If you've never heard Phil Campbell or Mikkey Dee play, you are missing out...big time.

The only thing I can really say about The World Is Yours is that they have done it again.  Brilliant performances, edgy production and recording, and more of Lemmy's philosophical outlook on life. Hard hitting tracks like Born To Lose, Waiting For the Snake, and my fave, Brotherhood Of Man are reminders why Motorhead are legends and have become one of the most respected bands in hard rock.  Keep it up Lemmy! Thanks for the music!

Here is a vid for the first single, Get Back In Line. Support the bands you like and buy their albums!
