Motorhead- Live (Feb. 26th, 2011)

Fresh off the heels of their latest release “The World is Yours,” Motorhead was in Toronto to showcase their latest work to a sold out crowd at the Kool Haus.
What I love about Motorhead’s music is that it crosses genres. And what I love about concerts is that their fans also cross genres. Punks, rockers, metal heads, and classic rockers always come out to show their support. This was no different.

Lemmy took the stage looking rock and roll as ever-said “Good Evening. We are Motorhead!”  and ripped into classic opener “We are Motorhead.”
The staple rock and rollers covered most of their discography and played only two off their latest release which I found strange but also appreciate when a classic band plays it’s classics!

I have seen Motorhead play quite a few times over the years and they were old when I first saw them. This time, Lemmy definitely looked his age and their songs were less crunchy and more slowed down rock and roll which was a change but sounded great.

Lemmy even dedicated a song to Shakespeare at one point in the night before they played “Inferno” classic “In the name of Tragedy”. Other highlights included “Ace of Spades” (of course), Neil Fallon from Clutch coming out to sing “Killed by Death”, and Mikkey Dee’s drum solo during “In the name of Tragedy”.
All in all it was just another great Motorhead show. It’s been happening now for thirty-five years. Enough said.
