Motörhead are often accused of being pro-war due to his fascination with war memorabilia, particularly Nazi WWII. However, this is bollocks. There is one song Lemmy wrote that is pro-war as Lemmy explains:
Yeah, that's almost a recruiting song. (laughing) It's like I've written all these anti-war songs and I keep getting accused of being pro-war, right? So I thought I'd write a pro-war one and see if people come out saying it's an anti-war one. Of wars, WWII is the most interesting one because of the Nazi thing. I just got a new book by this guy who found some archives. It turns out that the head of the Gestapo was supposedly killed in Berlin in 1945. Well, they dug up his grave a few years ago, and there were three people in it. None of them were him. He has apparently been working for the CIA since 1948. [Full Interview]
Now enjoy Lemmy on his favourite subject:
Dogs of War:
Sacrifice:
1916 (yes it's a ballad but if you have a problem with it speak to Lemmy)
