I'll bet it will be next year.

Don't be so certain, the year is young.

Since '96 (Overnight Sensation) they've been steadfastly releasing an album every 2 years, so I'm optimistic for this year. That said there has been talk about TWIO vol. 2 getting a release soon, so maybe they're gonna slow the studio stuff down a little and compensate with another live offering so soon after the last one. I'd rather we got an album as good as TWIO that took a bit longer than they just rushed something out. Besides, they deserve a rest.

2013 should be time for Motorhead to release their 'White Album' then. I'm expecting a double set, with one record of cover versions and one originals. There will be a token on the inside cover for a special edition of Lemmy's solo album to be released posthumously in 2033. This will eventually be cancelled as Lemmy will, in fact, rise from the dead and take his rightful place as our Messiah / God rolled into one, which will save on devotional paraphernalia, that being the mythical 'warpig' snaggletooth t-shirt.

I don't think that Motorhead would have had a chance to work on a new album as it seems that they have been on the road for the past year and a half. Lemmy also has a solo album he wants to do.

They have already said its going to be 2013 im sure.....There has been no time to record and aparently the Lem solo album is due this year as well as The world is ours vol2 so theres plenty to look forward to.....plus the Segregates EP of course.....hahaha

The release of the year! "segregates ain't nuthin' to fuck wit" haha

A covers album of old blues songs would be good!

Yeah that's not a bad idea...

Just got to thinking, how pissed I'll be if the Mayan's are right........and we don't get to have another Motorhead studio album followed by a headlining tour.
