No blasphemy here. I've been a fan since the early 80s, and I think
the post-No Remorse years represent their best stuff ever. Every disc
boasts something somewhat "uncharacteristic" that makes you think,
"Damn, I didn't know Lemmy could do THAT! Yet every album remains
unmistakably Motorhead. They continue to grow as a band, while
staying totally immature, if that makes any sense. I was kinda sad to
see Wurzel go, but Phil Campbell has proven himself every bit the
player. And Mikkey Dee is amazing!
While I miss Fast Eddie and Philthy, it's really only for nostalgia's
sake these days. The current lineup doesn't make me yearn for them.
This band is still as vital as ever.
