They are loud, they are hard and they bring presents: Motörhead, the legendary rock and roll band goes traditional in the Christmas season on tour in Germany . On Wednesday 1 December, they played at the AWD-Hall Hannover to a full house. Real Motörheadbanger can be of Lapalie as snow does not just stop.
because the group is something like the Catholic Church of the Hard Rock: The oldest institutional guardians of a world view. Here the music there the religion - the transitions are fluid, the parallels obvious.
is conspicuous not only the birth date of singer and chief Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister: Christmas Eve. Analogously, the somewhat anachronistic organizational structure as a power trio, as the trinity of guitar, bass and drums in the '60s have become popular tape format.
is also in accordance with the biblical age for a rock band. The current record, The Wörld Is Yours is album number 20, were on the 35th Band Year published shortly before Lemmy's 65th Weighing party.
But do not worry: the man in black, as always, is in his shirt, tight jeans and cowboy boots, his Sheep and just before retirement age yet powerful read the riot act. With open Verve Reverend Lemmy and his acolyte, guitarist Philip Campbell (49) and drummer Mikkey Dee (47) their 90-minute show.
hymns are sung not: "We Are Motörhead" is confident the first song, a fiery Rockmustang galloping from the younger band's history. The takes on the song selection at all surprisingly large. With all-new titles such as "Get Back In Line" and "I Know How To Die" - would have liked to be heard by the new, the wonderfully mangy Metal-rock charm of the album Orgasmatron-day sprayed everything - comes from a third of the new songs Milemmyum, Millennium forgiveness.
Some rock is the Pharisees, as if suddenly in the Sunday school instead of the good old Genesis read only the most recent book of the Bible, the Book of Daniel. But who will ever hear the same sermon?
Even more variety would have been good. For example, the recently-established advertising for beer blues version of evergreens Ace Of Spades. But maybe that would be too revolutionary for such a venerable institution, even if it's called Motorhead.
