18) MOTÖRHEAD – Bad Magic (UDR)

The always reliable MOTÖRHEAD enter this year's countdown with Bad Magic, their 22nd opus (!) which entered the top ten in no less than 12 countries when it was released in late August!

BraveWords' Greg Prato caught up with the always entertaining Lemmy Kilmister about the album and his health back in the summer. Here is an excerpt:

BraveWords: Let's discuss the new album, Bad Magic.

Lemmy Kilmister: "A lot of it came really easy. I was lucky." [Laughs]

BraveWords: Would you say some of your favorite Motörhead albums have come the easiest, or were they difficult to get just right?

Lemmy Kilmister: "Both ways. We record all different ways, too. Sometimes, we get the drums first, but apart from that, anything goes."

 BraveWords: Could you give an example of a Motörhead album that was hard to get right?

Lemmy Kilmister: "Another Perfect Day took the longest. But that was Brian Robertson."

BraveWords: I particularly liked the opening line of the song 'Electricity' off the new album, which is "Don't speak of your beliefs, they are yours to keep." That line is probably more valid now than ever, with people posting away on Facebook and Twitter.

Lemmy Kilmister: "I know, it's ridiculous, man. That whole thing is…weird. I don't know why anybody ever thought it was a good idea. And then everybody else caught on to it. I couldn't do that. Not me."
