Motörhead "Heroes" (David Bowie Cover)

Motörhead to release Under Cöver in September 2017
Covers compilation to include new version of David Bowie’s “Heroes”, (above)
ONE THING Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee liked to do over their years together in Motörhead, was grab a favourite song by another artist and give it a good old fashioned ‘Motörheading’. To run them through the Motörizer if you will. To rock them, roll them and even give them an extra twist and edge.
In celebration of some of those finest moments, the band will release Under Cöver, a collection of some of their best covers, and a collection which will include the previously unreleased version of David Bowie’s timeless classic “Heroes”. Recorded during the Bad Magic sessions in 2015 by Cameron Webb, and was one of the last songs the band recorded together.
“It’s such a great Bowie song, one of his best, and I could only see great things coming out of it from us, and so it proved to be,” says Phil Campbell, “and Lemmy ended up loving our version.”
“He was very, very proud of it,” says Mikkey Dee, “not only because it turned out so well but because it was fun! Which is what projects like this should be - fun!”
To that ethic, the rest of the album contains loud and proud, raucous and raging Rock ‘N’ Roll takes on the likes of “God Save The Queen” (Sex Pistols), “Cat Scratch Fever” (Ted Nugent), “Rockaway Beach,” (The Ramones), Breaking The Law” (Judas Priest) and “Whiplash” (Metallica) which earned the band a Grammy in 2005 for Best Metal Performance.
“We were happy with them at the time and we’re happy with them now!” affirms Campbell, whilst Dee says, “We should remember that it’s about having some fun with songs that we all loved.”
So there you are. If that doesn’t have you scrambling for your music delivery device, then check your pulse pronto. Or just start scrambling for a copy of Under Cöver immediately. You won’t be sorry.

I met Lemmy one night at a strip club in Las Vegas. I walk in the joint and there he was - leaning against the bar looking like a fuckin' rock star. I walk up and ask him if he wants a shot of whisky. He says Jack Daniels. We chat for about 5 minutes then I leave before wearing out my welcome. In general, you should never meet your heroes. But, every once in a while, you meet a good guy that just happens to be a legend. That guy was Lemmy.

I have a friend in So Cal. Jeff, and he met Lemmy once. He told Lemmy that he was his hero, and Lemmy told him nah, be your own hero. Then he asked him what he did for a living, and Jeff told him he installed alarm systems. Lemmy then said" Jeff, when a family is saved from having their home robbed, who are they going to thank? Not me, be your own hero. Jeff was almost ready to quit that job, but Lemmy gave him the kick in the ass to climb the company ladder, until he became part owner of the company.

The original was amazing. This cover does something new and different with it, so its also amazing. I think David Bowie would have absolutely loved this version of his song. In fact, he would have asked to come onstage and sing along with Lemmy. And if that had happened, then it would have opened a hole in the space-time continuum and angels would have poured through, strumming on guitars and hammering out a beat on drums. What a precious gift those tow musicians were. The world is a poorer, quieter place without them in it.

On this day of Lemmy's passing. Raise our glasses . And have a drink . The way he would have wanted. We are Motorhead fans...and we listen to rock and roll.

He died with his boots on. I'll toast to that my friend.

[@kurtbarlow9402]

I should like to read to you a short passage from the Book of Kilmister..... And on the 8th day, Lemmy created Slayer. (He had a gig on the 9th, and needed an opening band) And He was pleased, for He saw that it was good. Here ends today's lesson. MOTORHEAD FOREVER Sincerely, MHB#1204

[Chorus] I, I will be king And you, shall be my queen Though nothing, will never drive them away But we can beat them, forever and ever Cause we can be heroes, just for one day [Verse 1] And you, you are insane And I, I am the same Cause we're lovers, and that is the truth Yes we're lovers, and we're in that booth [Refrain] Though nothing, will keep us together We could stop time, forever and ever We can be heroes What d'you say? [Verse 3] I, I can remember (I remember) Standing, by the wall (by the wall) And the guns, were all ready to fire (ready to fire) And we kissed, as though we never can fall (never can fall) [Refrain] And the shame, was on another city Oh we can beat them, forever and ever Then we could be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes, we can be heroes We can be heroes, just for one day We can be heroes

Bowie's masterpiece stripped down to the bare essentials and run at 200mph is possibly the most Motörhead thing I have ever heard. You are a probably a Motörhead fan but you don't know it yet. :)
