In the year of the Lord 2004, Motörhead released the most powerful album of their career; a record where the heavy matrix, thanks to the bombastic production of Cameron Webb, surpassed the rock'n'roll one, always married with full marks by the English band.
An authentic metallic "Inferno" that testified 100% to the superb state of form of Lemmy & Co., confirmed by the live performances of the time.
From the cover, signed once again by Joe Petagno, one senses how what would have started once the fateful 'play' button was pressed would have had the appearance of something unique, powerful and massive.
“Terminal Show”, “In The Name Of Tragedy”, “Fight”, “In The Black”, “Down Me”: five explosive torpedoes to pierce the auricles.
A record that travels on whirling rhythms for most of its duration, arriving at ultra-fast steps towards the celebratory “Keys To The Kingdom”.
Everything therefore seems defined, but the appeal is still missing a song, a song that, precisely because of its singularity, will play the role of the classic icing on the cake.
"One, two, three, four": it is Lemmy himself, immersed in the foggiest smoke, to give the initial break for the sumptuous and sinuous (especially in the dedicated video) "Whorehouse Blues", an intriguing acoustic song in which the line-up takes on a new look, so to speak, or at least different from the usual canons.
In fact, accompanying Phil Campbell on guitar we find Mikkey Dee, with the task of keeping the central melodic line of the piece.
And Lemmy? With the bass momentarily placed in the corner, he delights in giving charm to the piece, not only with his unmistakable voice, but also with the sound of the harmonica, justifying that "you know the only thing that's missing is a little mouth harp blues" placed in the last part of the piece.
A "Whorehouse Blues" that wants to be a synthesis of the band's life on the road, not always easy: an awareness of one's flaws ("you know we ain't too good looking") however rewarded by what is occurred over the years ("but we are satisfied").
A surprise right at the end of the album that was going to acquire further seduction in the live venue when Dee himself, in addition to the occasional guitar, brought with him the bass drum and hi-hat, creating a truly special moment.
"Can we go now?" Phil asks when finished; "Yeah," Lemmy replies. Unique!
