#1988 Motorhead - Overkill

Trying to respect Lemmy here, whose stuff I overlooked till he died, who bristled when Motorhead got called "metal", but man Motorhead sounds a lot like metal, like the metal that came before and the metal that came after, from Sabbath to Metallica to the whole New British Wave. Those're some solid riffs.

Themewise and scenewise though, you see his point - there's no scifi, no horror, no hair, no pretension, all dirt and grit and punkrock dontgiveafuck. Most metal guys are secretly pussycats.

These guys don't seem like secret pussycats.

No theater here, its dead direct like good old Rock and Roll, doing its own thing and fun as hell to listen to by accident, just by bein fuckin cool 4/5
