This is a great clip of one of the best songs by one of the best bands on the planet, period. I wanted to go old school and find the No Sleep Till Hammersmith version, but this one is actually a lot better. These guys are not fuckin' around. This will cure what ails you.
I saw them at a fairly small (300-seater or so) club in 2001, about three weeks after 9/11. Everyone was pretty much in a fuck-or-fight mood that night, and Lemmy, after shooting pool and drinking beers with the locals (including myself) in the downstairs bar for a couple hours before the show, comes out and announces the start of the show with "We are Motörhead -- and we're gonna change yer fuckin' outlook." And goddamned if they didn't do exactly that. Seriously, an utterly fucking amazing band.
"Political language -- and with variations this is true of all political parties, from Conservatives to Anarchists -- is designed to make lies sound truthful and murder respectable, and to give an appearance of solidity to pure wind."
