Happy Birthday To Lemmy From Motorhead! | Geeks of Doom

Today, December 24, 2011, Lemmy Kilmister turns 66!

The true king of rock n roll and bass-playing hellraiser needs little introduction. Motorhead’s frontman, who it has been scientifically proven* is made up of 49% mother****er and 51% son of a bitch, has been making records for over 45 years. This year, his band released the superb The World Is Yours and toured to support it. There’s little sign that the British music legend is going to slow down.



Lemmy is just as famous for his lifestyle as he is for his music. A notorious drinker and drug taker his life has been laid out with astonishing and often hilarious honesty in his autobiography, White Line Fever, and the documentary, Lemmy.

The first time I knew anything about Lemmy or Motorhead was as a result of the performance of the classic “Ace Of Spades” on British sitcom The Young Ones — the video of which is provided below. It was my ideal match: my favourite sitcom and hard rock!

Happy birthday, Lemmy

"Song of the Blackest Bird" is probably one of my favorite songs of the year. I think it was you who linked it here so cheers for that :)
 
Ministry, ’99%’ — Song Review

Ministry‘s new single ’99%’ is a pro-Occupy Wall Street anthem that should bellow at all Occupy gatherings across the nation and the world from this day forward.

Ministry guru Al Jourgensen specifically created a unifying song designed to get blood coursing through the veins of Occupiers while they pump their firts as they try to enact some social change. But even if you are a hard rock fan who doesn’t give a s— about the Occupy movement, the song won’t alienate you with rhetoric, either. It’s a terrific, two-fold song: one that fires up protesters, all the while reminding the world that Ministry are indeed back and raring to go. They will release ‘Relapse’ in the new year.

The song is noisy, aggressive and has a numeric call to arms woven throughout. It’s like Ministry never broke up and went away for a several year period. Jourgensen sounds like he drank Draino and spewed it all over the mic while recording. That’s how venomously he roars his words. We’re happy to report that he’s not dulled or softened with age and an absence from making music as Ministry.

The band will stream the song on their Facebook page tomorrow, so it’s like a naughty sonic treat for fans. You can nab it on iTunes, as well.

yea.. i just cant get enough of them. i can listen to their entire works front to back without skipping a song and never get bored. im really in love with the song Weather The Storm... just the lyrics of the chorus make it even more amazing
INSOMNIUM Weather The Storm + lyrics - YouTube

and Inertia is hands down one of the best album intro's ever. i wish they would play from about 2:20 on... for like 20 minutes.
Insomnium - Inertia (sub - lyrics) - YouTube


off that album i would have to say that "Only One Who Waits" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=_wREKhBGlqo) is my other favorite song, along with "Song of the Blackest Bird", "Unsung" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ns9_A3CKqPM) & "Lay the Ghost to rest" (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7a3q6YBQxM)

my all time favorite song by them is Closing Words... but... all their songs are just flat out awesome... to me at least
Insomnium - Closing Words (lyrics) - YouTube


i would highly highly recommend Insomnium to anyone who likes Melodic Death Metal in any way.

Personally i think weakling are highly overrated, however i do like some John Gossard projects. His recent one Dispirit is really good and i am a big fan of Asunder.

The 1st Five ? Metal Meowlisha: FL Death Metal Band Saves Cats’ Lives

This is something different and unexpected that was brought to my attention. Donald Tardy, drummer in FL Death Metal band Obituary, and his wife Heather, devote a lot of their free time and money to help save cats from life on the streets. Their charity and effort named the Metal Meowlisha, cares for 20 colonies of feral cats, 365 days a year. Metal Meowlisha doesn’t have a website of their own yet, but they have page on Obituary‘s main website where they go into more details:

Good man!!!! More power to him!
 
RIP: Barry Clayton, Voice Of Iron Maiden?s ?The Number Of The Beast? Intro | Geeks of Doom


Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea?

Every metalhead in the world is familiar with that first line from the spoken-word introduction to the Iron Maiden song ?The Number Of The Beast.? The man who lent his voice to that iconic intro, Barry Clayton, has died, according to the Islington Tribute. He was 80.

For the title track off their 1982 album, Number of the Beast, Iron Maiden had wanted horror icon Vincent Price to recite the intro for the song, but his fee turned out to be too high. That?s when the band turned to Clayton, a deep-voiced actor who read ghost stories at Capital Radio, to do the 25-second recitation taken from the Bible?s Book of Revelation.



According to the Islington Tribute, Clayton, who a resident of Islington, England, for 40 years, was also a pioneer of black television and radio programming who produced the Black Londoners radio program for the BBC, which was the first black daily radio programm.

Clayton also did voiceovers for movie trailers, produced the show People and Places, and narrated the children?s television program Count Duckula from 1988 to 1993.

But, Clayton will always be known for his haunting introduction on ?The Number Of The Beast,? which has been and always will be one of the greatest contributions to heavy metal ever.

?Woe to You Oh Earth and Sea
For the Devil sends the beast with wrath
Because he knows the time is short
Let him who hath understanding
Reckon the number of the beast
For it is a human number
Its number is six hundred and sixty six.?

RIP Barry Clayton
Died: December 29, 2011

I hear you. Some internet reviews I came across seem to be quite bipolar though. People either love or hate the band.

Haven't heard of those projects, I need to look them up. :good:
