Motorhead: Part 2


Two things. I loved Motorhead, Motorhead. But I cannot honestly say that I had the endurance to listen to whole sides let alone whole albums.

I have been researching around and have found that a German has recovered the essential bits of Lemmy so, although he is technically dead, he is still touring and giving live performances. See here
 
In the recent spirit of folks answering rock n roll questions before they have been posed. I  will make the following predictions about the future. In Motorhead: Part 3 next, I will comment sagely: 'Three Motorhead threads? Surely that is Overkill?

Jeremy Corbyn wasn't the first politician to have his own theme song.

Who can forget Motörhead's classic "It's Obama", written from the point of view of somebody in Afghanistan, Iraq, Yemen or Syria?

A better running order for the songs on "Overkill" by Motörhead

Being a traditionalist, I have tried listening to the whole album in the original running order with the two B-sides tacked on at the end (available on the CD version), but it gets a bit wearing and I don't think I ever managed it all the way through.

Yesterday, I tried again but had left the iPod on shuffle. The order in which it played them just flowed better and made much more sense - I listened to it twice all the way through as follows:

Overkill
Like A Nightmare
Too Late Too Late
Capricorn
Metropolis
Limb By Limb
(I Won't) Pay Your Price
Tear Ya Down
No Class
Stay Clean
I'll Be Your Sister
Damage Case


If anybody has any better suggestions, please leave a comment.
