Motorhead
The World is Ours Vol. 2: Anyplace Crazy as Anywhere Else (EMI)
Nobody rocks like Motorhead and
many have tried. On the DVD/Blu-ray half of this four-disc concert album, Herr
Motorhead, a.k.a. Lemmy, is still lean, all in black and a man not to be
trifled with. Encompassing recent tunes along with old favorites such as
“Overkill” and “Ace of Spades,” the concert finds Lemmy growling lyrics and
executing switchblade guitar solos as his band hammers away like an anvil
chorus. The angry authority he brings to hard rock pretty much demolishes all
comers, whether they call themselves metal or punk. Motorhead sticks to the
amped-up basics of rock ‘n’ roll—but there’s a lot of muscle on those bare
bones.
