It's VERY short, unorthodox in Motörhead terms; I called it HipHop Intro, you could call it jingle or sample, whatever - as long as you keep a tongue-in-cheek view on things... - QUOTSA's samples are longer!
Check out rateyourmusic.com where I updated the entry for 'Motörizer' (speedrokker); until now it's the worst rated album of the whole Motörhead catalogue. There seem to be only two opinions on this record: pretty good and pretty bad.
Oh, and I'm a loud burper ;D

Uh oh: pretty good versus pretty bad seems to be the general consensus on... KISS OF DEATH.
(did you hear the rumble of thunder?)
I'm a lousy burper, but I like to partecipate anyway ;D

There seem to be only two opinions on this record: pretty good and pretty bad. Well I've only heard three songs and it's already better than the abomination that was Kiss of Death. It even sounds better than Inferno. More rock n roll, less metal. Doesn't matter. People rate the Rock n Roll album and Snakebite Love as poor Motorhead records but I think they're great. Folks love Kiss of Death and I hate it. I think Iron Fist is crap but some love it. I was scoffed at for proclaiming Walk a Crooked Mile as one of the best Motorhead openers ever, on the official board. I have a feeling this will be the most fun Motorhead album in 10 years. As far as I'm concerned, if more of this record is as "pop" as Runaround Man and Rock Out I'll be happy. I'm tired of metal Motorhead with Phil's tired riffs. The samples sounded energetic and catchy. You know, I hated We Are Motorhead when it was released, but now looking back it was at least a rock n roll album, not a metal one. Though I will never like Slow Dance and See Me Burning. I like metal by the way. Just time for Motorhead to get their identity back.

Same feelings here. who are you to tell lemmy to get his identity back??? just be happy, they still work that hard, give us a new records every two years. which are mostly great, some more, some less, ALL of them better then all of the other crap. they go on tour half of the year and you lazy asses don't bother to go and see them. you better sit at home and typing in your PC, they should get their identity back. G.Y.F.!

G.Y.F.! Oh my.... There's no need for this kind of hostility. We should be getting along under the roof of Motorhead fandom and not hatefully spewing incorrectly derived acronyms at one another. The truth is, Kiss of Death was a bit of an uninspired mess, as opposed to other focused, carefully written masterpieces. I'm not saying that I don't like the last album, but here's hoping for something a little more solid on Motorizer. What makes you say John and Adumek don't go to shows?

G.Y.F.! Who am I? I'm a fan of over 20 years and I'll give my opinion whether you or anyone else likes it or not. As much as I find your aggressive shtick amusing, it's not a behaviour we've ever encouraged on this board so I am asking you nicely to reign it in and use the forum for the reason it was founded. That is, to talk about Motorhead with other fans without the hostility. Thank You

Yep Bomber Noigez, time to behave - it seems I'm not the only one who isn't happy with your English or your style. Frankly, a forum should be a virtual space where friends with the same interests meet and not an opportunity for cowardly insults by intolerant individuals not fit to cope with opposing opinions - in my case you wouldn't be talking the way you're writing, believe me... and to say I've never had problems in other forums I'm pissed off at the idea that you're trying to spoil the fun for Motörhead fans.
Danke auch.

don't get me wrong,
i've been here for a long time, never was offensive at all.
i'm a motörhead FAN ever longer (almost 20 years as well), go to their shows as often i can, collect their records on and on.
and i really do not think its the right way to talk about our heroes (aren't they?!) in that insulting way you did.
i fully agree, they did better and weaker albums, maybe somebody might think, some are crap. some like the r'n'r some prefere the (more) metal style. fine to me
BUT: to tell lemmy & the band to get their identity back goes way too far. this is NOT ok.
motörhead are one of the few, very few bands (if not the only one!), which never ever did any fashion shit, talked silly stuff in interviews, let their fans down for silly reasons or anything else.
that's why they are my real heroes (or maybe just him).
think about that.
meet me on a gig somewhere, sometimes, have a drink with me and cheer on motörhead. i think thats what it should be like.

Agreed. I think the problem here lies with your interpretation of John's comment. "Getting their identity back" is hardly as offensive as you seem to think. I took as the opposite, in fact. We all know Motorhead are capable of much more than some of their most recent output. Metal served them well for a while, but they don't seem as enthused in the writing of it, anymore. Let's be honest, Phil's riffs on Kiss of Death were not as inspired as they used to be. This is less an observation of his talent, and more about his dedication. Same goes to the lyrics of said album. We all know they have the innate ability to create another few masterpieces, but I feel as though they may be in a rut with the metal side of the band, and if they go back to other facades of their creative styles, they can once again record an album that will live on as gloriously as had such classics as Ace of Spades and Bastards, etc. That's what they will be remembered for, and not Kiss of Death. And they certainly still have the ability to create another album that can withstand to weight of time. Cheers.

Thanks. I'm happy to debate this stuf. It's why we're here. When I said "get their identity back", I meant that it often seems to me now, that they are becoming more generic metal sounding. If you listen to any album up to maybe Rock n Roll, you can tell it's Motorhead without even hearing the singing. They became more diverse after this, starting with 1916. and created some absolute materpieces. With these albums, you couldn't necessarily tell that it was Motorhead if you didn't know. Until you heard the singing. This was a good thing back then in the 90s. Motorhead were showing some great talent, playing stuff that even now nobody gives them any credit for. How many times have you read a review of a new album where the reviewer says something along the lines of "Motorhead have never changed their style" or "You know exactly what you will get from a Motorhead album" and various other quotes suggesting that the band have never expanded upon their original trademark sound. These quotes are total nonesense. Bastards, 1916 and Overnight Sensation are probably my favourite albums by the band (by any band) and these, I feel, are probably the most diverse Motorhead records. Even the much deriled (especially by the band) Snakebite Love has some genius tracks on it (Dead and Gone, Joy of Labour). I feel now though that this creative streak has slowly turned into a rut, with the metal becoming less interesting and the rock n roll becoming uninspired. Inferno is widely regarded as a latter day Motorhead masterpiece, and while I agree it is a very strong album, it's impact on me has lessened over the years and I find myself skipping a lot of songs. Kiss of Death, I just do not like. The first 2 tracks are good then it just nosedives for me. I honestly think that the lyrics on that album sound like Lemmy had nothing interesting to say and just sang the first words he could think of. So to say "Time to get their identity back" is me saying that at this stage in theirr career, I think it is a good time for them to realise that despite what Lemmy says, they are a metal band and have not played a huge amount of rock n roll in the past 15 - 20 years. They have progressed their sound, but now is a good time to put out some true rock n roll records. Of course I have no right to tell the band what to do, and lots of people will not agree with my opinions, but I am discussing this with other fans and sharing my thoughts about where I think the band is at in the career right now. That was longwinded, I didn't start out to write all that.
