Motörhead – Inferno – Review

January 24, 2005

Don’t expect too many surprises, except maybe that they’re still so good. The acoustic closer is a side of the band that hasn’t reared its head too often.

“Dead Mexican in my Headphones”: Lemmy in Little Clothes – Column

April 18, 2003

I interview rock guys two, three times a week. I use voice recognition software to transcribe these interviews. It doesn’t always come out as planned though.

Motörhead – 25 & Alive: Boneshaker – Review

January 3, 2003

Recorded at the Brixton Academy on the band’s 25th anniversary, this DVD preserves the evening’s entire 23-song set, complete with oodles of special guests.

The Young Ones – Every Stoopid Episode – Review

January 3, 2003

There are three DVDs here. The first two are the original 12 episodes, and, as much fun as it is, watching a whole DVD’s worth in one sitting is grueling.

Motörhead – Hammered – Review

September 9, 2002

Rock ‘n’ rollsy Motörhead punctuated by one all-out speed demon, a couple too-simple, too-stupids, and four-in-a-row that are rich, bloody-minded experiences.

Twisted Forever – A Tribute to Twisted Sister – Review

April 19, 2002

This navigates the hits, the hidden gems, combining big names, and underground faves digging deep and showing why the mainstream will never understand them.

Heavy Metal – Geomatrix – Review

April 19, 2002

Seeing as there are mostly big names here, this is a good chance to see how the old metal dudes are doing without having to buy their latest release.

Blitzkrieg Over You! – A Tribute to the Ramones – Review

June 4, 2001

Songs selected regardless of what decade they were recorded or what country the band is from. Shows how different cultures have been affected by the Ramones.

Motörhead – We are Motörhead – Review

September 1, 2000

It ain’t about change with Motörhead, but I detect something cleaner but ironically meaner about this one.

Sarre-Chasm – Throwing Words Against the Wall – Column

September 1, 1999

Moronic. At base, it’s an insult, but after the late ’70s, it was a compliment in a highbrow-to-low sorta way.
