#RobotMetal Ace of Spades

The drummer is a fucking animal. I bring you the T-666 series*.

Check out the Metal groupie at the end. 

*which is vastly superior to the shite Axl subjected us to in You Could be Mine. 

Happy Birthday Lemmy

Lemmy on Uniforms:

I’ll tell you something about history. From the beginning of time, the bad guys always had the best uniforms. Napoleon, the Confederates, the Nazis. They all had killer-uniforms. I mean, the SS-uniform is fucking brilliant! They were the rock stars of that time. What you’re gonna do, they just look good. Don’t tell me, I’m a Nazi, ‘cause I have uniforms. In 1967 I had my first black girlfriend and a lot of more ever since then. I just don’t understand racism, I never thought it was an option. [Praise Lemmy, New York Waste] 

Then I saw this video. I couldn't and I shouldn't laugh, but I did.

"Another thing people don't understand is my collection of Nazi memorabilia, which really kicked in when I moved here (America). World war 2 artifacts have been around ever since I can remember-after all, I was born the year the war ended, and people were always bringing home souvenirs and shit. I had one dagger when I came over here, and two medals, maybe a flag and an iron cross, and that is all. And like with any hobby, the more you get into it the more interesting it gets, if it has any depth to it. So now I have a huge collection of stuff from wartime Germany-daggers, medals, flags, you name it. I like having all this stuff around because it's a reminder of what happened, and that it's in the past (for the most part-Nazism still exists, but at the margins). I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong - If it's ignored, it gathers strength."

Lemmy is one of the few old people that any Metalhead would be glad to hear talk about the war. You'd have to buy a bottle for this Honorary Member of the Bourbon Appreciation Society. He don't do glasses.

Between Nations Iron Maiden and Motörhead go Anti-War

I always thought a war was for the courageous heroes to fight,
To take up arms for country, to fight on the side of God and Right,
To win the bloody battle to proclaim victory is at hand,
To never surrender this soil so sacred is this land.

But I always knew a war was fought by reluctant heroes of chance,
Sent by fearless men of words using pen instead of lance,
Told by these men of power, ignorant to the pain,
That we must beat the bastards now and kill ‘till all are slain,
That we must hate our fellow man for his race, colour and creed,
Because hate is what we want and hate is what we need,
And so with God upon our side, death we shall not dread,
Until we have built Jerusalem from the corpses of their dead.

#OF: 1-2-3-4 We Don't Want Your F**king War

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]
