MOTÖRHEAD Featured In Disney Film
November 18, 2008, 16 years ago
BW&BK; has received the following:
On November 21st, Walt Disney Pictures will release BOLT, starring John Travolta and Miley Cyrus, and featuring MOTÖRHEAD's song, 'Dog-Face Boy' from their Sacrifice album. The song is in a mailroom scene where a young worker is listening to it on his headphones and inadvertently wraps Bolt up in a box that gets shipped off to New York City. Motörhead songs can be very distracting!
Stranger things have happened, as Disney isn't the first to pick up on the Motörhead mystique: there was a Motörhead song in the SpongeBob SquarePants movie, too. Just goes to show you that there are Motörhead fans of all ages everywhere. And says Lemmy, the band's indestructible and renowned leader, "It's never too early to get the kids started on our music!"
An iconic hard rock band that continues to forge ahead and not look back, Motörhead is without a doubt one of the most respected rock bands in the world and has influenced generations of rockers. Lemmy, a huge, iconic alliance of hell-raiser, cult-figure and rock-animal, has been the one and only, uber-persona of loud, hard and aggressive rock ever since the mid '70s. And it is this relentless boot-stomp forward which has carried the spirit of Motörhead, that heaviest of metallic power-horses, on it's full-bore no let-up 30+ year career.
2008 has been a huge year for this Grammy Award winning band, debuting in the Billboard Top 100 charts, and engaging fans with two back-to-back, high profile US tours, with their next scheduled to begin in January, 2009. The band is currently on tour in Europe, selling out venues throughout the continent.
