The official lyric for RANCID‘s cowl of MOTÖRHEAD‘s “Intercourse & Loss of life” might be seen beneath. The tune is taken from titled “Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead”, due on October 31 through BMG.
RANCID‘s Lars Frederiksen (guitar/vocals) feedback on “Intercourse & Loss of life”: “It is prefer it’s the right MOTÖRHEAD tune for me. You realize in addition to I do how a lot of an enormous RAMONES fan Lem [MOTÖRHEAD leader Lemmy] was. And it sounds to me like his take, MOTÖRHEAD doing the RAMONES. However there’s that little itty bitty guitar solo there. And it was essentially the most RANCID-style tune that MOTÖRHEAD did that I believed it is shut sufficient to love a tune we might write.”
In a separate video beneath, Lars talks about RANCID‘s “Intercourse & Loss of life”cowl, together with discussing MOTÖRHEAD‘s affect on heavy music and why MOTÖRHEAD was each a punk and a metallic band.
Heavy metallic and punk rock — it is truthful to say that these two noisy tribes now have a fantastic deal in frequent, typically melding collectively, nearly indistinguishable, to provide bastard offspring of their very own. Nevertheless it wasn’t all the time this manner. Certainly, there was a time when fists had been extra more likely to be thrown than bumped, and beers extra more likely to be hurled than shared — besides when it got here to MOTÖRHEAD. That was the one band all may agree on. The one band that was really ours!
However whereas MOTÖRHEAD‘s influence on metallic has lengthy been acknowledged, their affect on punk, significantly the post-SEX PISTOLS second wave should not be underestimated. Trigger and impact: It is that straightforward. And such is the case with a whole bunch, hundreds, of different bands, all made sooner, dirtier, louder, higher, by MOTÖRHEAD. None extra so than in punk rock. And that is as a result of MOTÖRHEAD had been, in essence, a punk rock band.
Lemmy as soon as stated: “The punks liked us. The one purpose we weren’t in that lot was as a result of we had lengthy hair, so clearly we have to be heavy metallic. That was the pondering. However lots of youngsters heard us with out seeing an image, so that they thought we had been a punk band.”
Throughout the fourteen tracks on the cunningly titled “Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead”, you will hear a loving tribute to MOTÖRHEAD from a few of punk rock’s greatest and most revered bands. Luminaries like RANCID, PENNYWISE, LAGWAGON, GBH, THE BRONX and FEAR all contribute raucous variations of their favourite MOTÖRHEAD tracks… and likewise up-and-coming upstarts like SLAUGHTERHOUSE contribute, as a result of, let’s face it MOTÖRHEAD all the time liked and championed the underdogs.
Lemmy and MOTÖRHEAD aren’t honored with their very own area within the Punk Rock Museum for nothing. Lengthy earlier than they lined the SEX PISTOLS‘ “God Save The Queen” on “We Are Motörhead” and lengthy earlier than writing “R.A.M.O.N.E.S.” for the “1916” album in tribute to New York’s best, MOTÖRHEAD had been sharing phases with the likes of THE DAMNED, as they might proceed to do many occasions through the years. Hell, Lemmy even joined THE DAMNED (once they had been THE DOOMED),albeit briefly, and enjoying some now notorious reveals, and enjoying bass on a few studio tracks. It is solely becoming then, that the one non- MOTÖRHEAD tune on this album is from when he teamed up with them once more in 2002 for a beforehand unheard and blistering model of THE DAMNED‘s basic “Neat Neat Neat”.
