Friday, July 14: Motörhead, "Tear Ya Down"
R.I.P. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (1945-2015), "Fast Eddie" Clarke (1950-2018), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (1954-2015)
By Motörhead standards, Overkill wasn’t nearly as heavy as most of the brawling barnburners they would put out over the next 35 or so years. But it was more than a little shocking in 1979, and “Tear Ya Down” helped introduce the band’s overall concept with a distinctly Lemmy blend of aggression, speed and swagger. Jimmy Miller’s mix put the vocals in the back a bit, but one could easily make out the classic Lemmy charm, and in a lot of ways the tune was closer to his vision and mission statement as it played like a grooving classic rock and roll number even with the stungun bass, unhinged drumming from Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie Clarke’s all-attitude soloing. The basic influences were apparent, but Motörhead was an entity unto itself, and “Tear Ya Down” was a prime early instance of their singularity.

In The Rock 9/5/1978: The Doomed, Lemmy joined forces with The Damned for a show at Electric Circus in Camden, London. Rat Scabies on drums, Captain Sensible on guitar, Dave Vanian on vocals. There’s an infamous bootleg that captured the set, covering The Stooges, MC5, NY Dolls, the Beatles and more.
