Top 10 Motörhead Songs – #9 “I Got Mine”
Mar 27th
Another Perfect Day is Motörhead’s Come Taste the Band (look it up if you don’t know what I’m talking about, son) The only Motörhead album to feature former Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson, Another Perfect Day is an under-appreciated masterpiece of rock ‘n’ roll. Lemmy has figured it out and the current lineup has been butchering a couple of songs from this era (and every other) of the band, of late. Take a moment to savor and enjoy this blurry video of “I Got Mine,” number 9 on the Top 10 Motörhead Songs countdown.
Huge Guitars!
Mar 27th
Huge guitars or tiny people, I don’t know which. I do know that these guys rock. Coming soon to Santa Monica’s 3rd Street Promenade, no doubt. Komap sumnida.
Go Away (Sometimes) Johnny Law
Mar 26th
Hey, that’s my couch! Erstwhile Bay Area shock-rocker Johnny Law has released and unleashed his latest, epic video for “Go Away (Sometimes)” on an unsuspecting public. As radioactive as a Japanese power plant, Johnny Law’s music transcends definition. Catch him on his European tour this summer supporting guitar hero Willie Oteri’s phenomenal project WD-41.
Wee Man’s Chronic Tacos and Motörhead
Mar 21st
Whilst eating lunch today at the world’s only taco shop co-owned and occasionally operated by a member of the Jackass crew, I had a unique and wonderful experience unlike any I’ve had in a Mexican restaurant: Motörhead’s “Iron Fist” came blaring out of the speakers. Great food, great music, highly recommended. Did I mention the $2 Dos Equis during happy hour?
Wee Man’s Chronic Tacos is located in Redondo Beach, California. Click here for more information.

Top 10 Motörhead Songs – #10 “Iron Fist”
Mar 15th
There is no good reason to do a “Top 10 Motörhead Songs” mini-series, but we’re going to do it anyway. Any guesses what number one might be? Ha! Well, you’re wrong. Here’s the first episode. Tune in occasionally to see the other nine. Arrrggghhhhh!!!
Although the album from whence it sprang is largely blamed for killing the classic Motörhead lineup and sending the band into a couple of years of Robbo-induced turmoil, Iron Fist remains one of the top 10 Motörhead songs, no question. Enjoy.
Evacuation! Vintage Pearl Jam

Motorfighters or Foohead?
Mar 14th
Looks like Motörhead will be opening up for Foo Fighters on a few midwestern dates this spring. If you happen to be in Oklahoma, Tennessee, Iowa or Arkansas in May (or any other time, ever, for that matter) you have my deepest sympathies. Perhaps this killer lineup will enlighten some of the rednecks and hillbillies who live in your neighborhood. Click here for much more reliable information and Foo Fighters tour dates.
More Motörhead.
