Clean Your Clock (2xLP Boxset w/ CD, DVD, BluRay and Ltd Edition Metal Motorhead Medal)

MotÃ¶rhead To Release their latest offering â€œClean Your Clockâ€ on May 27th They were the Kings of the Road. They lived on it. They loved it. It loved them. And never was the spirit of MotÃ¶rhead more alive than when they were on tour, shake, rattle and rolling audiences to within an inch of their lives thanks to that indomitable cocktail of power, purpose and head-crunching volume. Yeah. In fact, after four decades of bone-pulverizing duty, MotÃ¶rhead were still enjoying sold-out gigs worldwide. On November 20th and 21st 2015, at the Zenith in Munich, Germany, UDR Records made the decision to record. Consulting with the bandâ€™s longtime studio producer Cameron Webb to make sure the technical specs were as good as they could be, MotÃ¶rhead proceeded to deliver two storming shows. Where there had once been almost too-fast breakneck pace, there was measured yet still thunderous rockâ€™nâ€™roll served up only as they could, Phil Campbell playing better than he had in years, and Mikkey Dee elevating the art of drumming to the superlative heights which made him one of metalâ€™s most coveted skinsmen. Lemmy. Oh he sounds so dialed in, a little mean even (in the best possible way) snarling here and there, cackling when appropriate, and singing in a way which will defy every single pre-conceived expectation you might have had. Yes, he was fighting ailments. Yes he was fighting the sadness of losing Phil â€˜Philthy Animalâ€™ Taylor. But no, he was not flimsy or faded, in fact on Clean Your Clock he lays down the marker for all near-70 year olds in terms of wicked bad-assery. Those first strains of the mighty â€œBomberâ€ are like a salve to all heavy metal souls, the reverberant classic forcing you to turn it up, Lemmy snarling and roaring like a man in his 20s, â€œMetropolisâ€ grooving like the day it was written, and â€œOverkillâ€ as mighty a pulverizer as everâ€¦look, here is the unavoidable truth. There will be no more MotÃ¶rhead tours because Lemmy is no longer here, and many, many people did not get a chance to hear them one more time on what proved to be their last-ever piece of road work. Which makes Clean Your Clock a vitally important release. It is both a celebration and an epitaph, glorious yet not without melancholy. It had to sound right, as with all MotÃ¶rhead releases, but this one was arguably more important than any of the others. Webb has done the show, and the band, proud by helping make sure the power of the band is not lost in some digital sinkhole, maintaining the warmth and curve of MotÃ¶rheadâ€™s unique live sound. Clean Your Clock is the natural sound of one of rockâ€™nâ€™rollâ€™s mightiest, rarest and most astoundingly excellent beasts â€“ MotÃ¶rhead. There isnâ€™t a plaudit they havenâ€™t received and there isnâ€™t a plaudit they donâ€™t deserve. And if there had to be a â€˜finalâ€™ MotÃ¶rhead album, perhaps it is fitting that Clean Your Clock, a superb live encapsulation of the band at home, is the one. So TURN-THIS-UP because as Lemmy himself said, the only way to feel the noise is when itâ€™s good and loud...
