Motörhead Collaborates With The Great Frog

Motörhead has collaborated with The Great Frog on limited edition Warpig and Ace Of Spades Rings. The rings are being launched on Friday, 9th December in all 3 Great Frog stores in London, New York and Los Angeles. Lemmy has had full and final approval of both the rings. Each ring is hand-made, sterling silver and will have its own personal Limited Edition Number engraved in the back, with the first 5 going to the band and management.

The Great Frog has made their name within the International fashion and jewelry industry catering to a niche clientele of rockers, bikers and those on the edge of the mainstream. Every piece of jewelry sold within the walls of The Great Frog is hand carved and crafted on site, at the shop on Ganton Street, Soho, London. Having produced bespoke pieces for a cross section of the fashion and music industry since 1972, The Great Frog are pioneers in hand crafted, iconic statement jewelry and originators of the skull ring.

66 YEARS OF ROCK'N'ROLL - SECOND LEMMY'S BIRTHDAY BASH IN SARAJEVO, BOSNIA AND HERZEGOVINA!

Last year, crazed rock'n'roll fanatics that go by the name of Snake Eater organized first ever birthday bash in the honor of rock'n'roll most stubborn survivor Lemmy Kilmister. What started as an experiment with a goal to have some fun, drink more and make loudest noise Sarajevo's crowd encountered, ended up to be a great gig for new and old fans of 65 years old Lemmy and his musical outputs, primarily the loudest band in the world Motörhead. 


Unlike many things that start and stop immediately in Sarajevo, Snake Eater continued on rocking every single stage they've stepped on and now their favourite date of the year is approaching again - December 24th.

Year 2011 marks 35th anniversary of Motörhead and none of it would exist if it wasn't for one man - Lemmy Kilmister. On December 24th 2011 Lemmy will turn 66, a milestone for a guy who never was about posing as a rockstar but rather living as one from day one. On December 24th in Sarajevo's premier house of rock'n'roll, club "AG", Snake Eater will play two hour set comprising of Motörhead's classics and Snake Eater's songs, but unlike the last year, setlist will also include well known songs by Hawkwind and Girlschool, just to spice up things a bit. Guys even wanted to go back to Sam Gopal's Dream era, but they're not exotic enough...

So, in case you're visiting Sarajevo on Christmas Eve, there are better things to do than to wait for another rebirth of God's son... you can celebrate the birthday of rock'n'roll god Lemmy Kilmister in club "AG" with SNAKE EATER!

And for those eligible to taste some nice drinks, a special discount on Lemmy's favourite Jack&Coke will be available at the club. Drink responsibly, enjoy completely!

Cancellation of the show in Bergen at Peer Gynt Salen on Dec 7th, 2011

With regret Motörhead has to announce the cancellation of the show in

Some days of rest for Lemmy and not using his voice are needed to continue the tour as planned.

Motörhead apologizes to all fans and hope to see you Gothenburg.

HYUNDAI FEATURES MOTÖRHEAD’S NAME IN TV COMMERCIAL

Motörhead, the hardest working, hardest touring band in the world, have their name featured in current commercials for Hyundai’s Veloster. The ad implies that the driver likes all kinds of music (from Motörhead to Willow Smith), and the Veloster doesn’t “judge.”

See the spot here.

It’s not the first time the band’s name have been featured in a major U.S. commercial, as A T & T used Motörhead’s “Ace Of Spades” with great acclaim, in the premise that a fan repeatedly tries to call his friend, who has no signal for his cellphone, to let him know that he has managed to get Motörhead tickets for the show later that night.

It seems that Motörhead’s name and music gets everyone’s attention!

Hard-rocking grapes launched by Motörhead

Hardrock fans looking for an alternative to the traditional Tennessee whiskey can now pick up a bottle of wine without compromising their image as UK’s biggest heavy metal band Motörhead launches a branded red wine – Motörhead Shiraz.

Following a huge success in the Scandinavian market, the wine is now being made available in the UK through wholesaler www.greatwineonline.co.ukfrom september. The Australian shiraz, has been carefully selected by the hardrock legends and has been described as a wine with a fruity aroma, flavours of vanilla, blackberries, plums, eucalyptus and liquorice, but with soft rounded tannins. Or, as Lemmy Kilmister, lead singer, bass player and founder of the band, puts it:

“My advice is - approach it with caution. I mean, wine is deceptive, anything can happen.”

The wine, which had its world premiere in Sweden in 2010, has enjoyed great success in Scandinavia already due to the band’s huge following and a large hard rock fan base, with over 120,000 bottles having been sold already in this relatively small market.

WÖRLD DOMINATION!Ewen Cameron from Great Wine Online, the UK wholesaler and distributor, comments: “This is rock ‘n roll’s grape number one, and just like Lemmy it can survive just about anything. It was selected together with the band, and we’re certain that hard rock fans in the UK will love it. Wine is perhaps not their traditional drink choice, but this Shiraz has all the attitude to win them over – from the iconic label to the intense taste.”

Visit Motörhead Shiraz on FacebookMotörhead Shiraz

The initiative for Motörhead Shiraz came from Bevarages Per Minute Sweden who contacted the band with the idea. Grapes Svenska AB was commissioned to produce it.

US judge accepts plea deal, frees Memphis 3

JONESBORO, Arkansas (AP) — Three men convicted of killing three 8-year-old Cub Scouts and dumping their bodies in an Arkansas ditch changed their pleas Friday, resolving a yearslong effort to win their freedom.
Under a plea bargain, Damien Echols, Jason Baldwin and Jessie Misskelley were being freed immediately. The boys' families were notified about the pact ahead of time but were not asked to approve it.
The defendants, known by their supporters as the West Memphis 3, agreed to a legal maneuver that lets them maintain their innocence while acknowledging prosecutors have enough evidence against them. They were credited with time served, and Echols is being freed from Arkansas' death row. They were placed on 10 years' probation and if they re-offend they could be sent back to prison for 21 years, Prosecutor Scott Ellington said.
"I believe that it would be practically impossible after 18 years to put on a proper trial in this case," Ellington said.
"I believe this case is closed and there are no other individuals involved," he said.
Baldwin and Echols each pleaded guilty to three counts of first-degree murder. Misskelley pleaded guilty to one count of first-degree murder and two counts of second-degree murder. Through a legal maneuver known as an Alford plea, the three men were allowed to maintain their claims of innocence.
Echols' wife, Lorri, sat in the front row of a crowded courtroom, next to Pearl Jam frontman Eddie Vedder, who became a key supporter of the men after watching a pair of HBO documentaries about the case. Vedder put his arm around her during the proceedings.
The three defendants were expected later Friday at a news conference in the courtroom basement.
Circuit Judge David Laser acknowledged the case was complex, and that both the victims' families and the supporters of the three men convicted had suffered. He said he thought Friday's deal would serve justice "the best we can."
"I don't think it will make the pain go away," Laser said during the court proceedings.
One person yelled "Baby killers" as the three left the courtroom.
The May 5, 1993, killings were particularly gruesome. Steve Branch, Christopher Byers and Michael Moore were found nude, and hogtied, and rumors of Satanism roiled the community in the weeks following their deaths. Branch and Moore drowned in about 2 feet of water; Byers bled to death and his genitals were mutilated and partially removed.
Police had few leads until receiving a tip that Echols had been seen mud-covered the night the boys disappeared. The big break came when Misskelley unexpectedly confessed and implicated Baldwin and Echols in the killings.
"Then they tied them up, tied their hands up," Misskelley said in the statement to police, parts of which were tape-recorded. After describing sodomizing and other violence, he went on: "And I saw it and turned around and looked, and then I took off running. I went home, then they called me and asked me, 'How come I didn't stay? I told them, I just couldn't.'"
Misskelley later recanted, and defense lawyers said the then-17-year-old got several parts of the story incorrect. An autopsy said there was no definite evidence of sexual assault. Miskelley had said the older boys abducted the Scouts in the morning, when they had actually been in school all day.
Misskelley was tried separately, convicted of first- and second-degree murder, and sentenced to life in prison plus 40 years. He refused to testify against the others and his confession was not admitted into evidence.
Defense lawyers for Echols and Baldwin alleged juror misconduct, saying they heard about the Misskelley confession anyway. Attorneys also said there wasn't enough physical evidence linking the three to the crime scene.
The Arkansas Supreme Court upheld Echols' conviction and death sentence in 1996, saying there was still enough other evidence to sustain it.
A 1996 HBO documentary, "Paradise Lost: The Child Murders at Robin Hood Hills," drew the attention of celebrities including Vedder and Natalie Maines, lead singer of the Dixie Chicks. They and other celebrities helped fund a legal team that worked to win the three a new trial.
"Why are they innocent?" Vedder said in an interview with The Associated Press last year. "Because there's nothing that says they're guilty."
Last fall, the Arkansas Supreme Court ordered a new hearing for the three and asked a judge to consider allegations of juror misconduct and whether new DNA science could aid the men or uphold the convictions.
In upholding Echols' conviction in 1996, the state Supreme Court noted that two people testified Echols bragged about the killings, an eyewitness put Echols at the scene, fibers similar to the boys' clothing were found in Echols' home, a knife was found in a pond behind Baldwin's home, Echols' interest in the occult and his telling police that he understood the boys had been mutilated before officers had released such details.

MOTORHEAD DEDICATE SET TO WURZEL

At their show at the U-K Sonisphere festival on Sunday, Motorhead paid tribute to their late former bandmate, Michael “Wurzel” Burston, who passed away on Saturday at the age of 61. During their performance, which can be seen on YouTube, singer Lemmy Kilmister said, “We’d like to dedicate this set and our lives to Wurzel.” While no official cause of death has been made, Wurzel is believed to have died due to heart disease.

• TIDBIT: Drummer Mikkey Dee described Wurzel to a Swedish newspaper saying, “He was wonderful. He wrote lots of f***ing great Motorhead riffs. I remember missing that when he was not in the band anymore. I missed the simple, classic Motorhead riffs. We never wrote those after that. They ended with him.”

• TIDBIT: Wurzel was on nine Motorhead albums from 1984’s No Remorse to 1995’s Sacrifice.  

R.I.P. Würzel

We are greatly saddened to confirm that our long-time friend and comrade Würzel died Saturday at his home.  Würz was pouring a Guinness and cracking a joke when he succumbed to a heart attack; at least we know he went with a smile.

It is a cliche to say that words cannot describe how we feel, and in this case, other than ones such as 'shit' and 'awful' and 'very very sad' it is true, they really can't.

We all shared many many great times together, and what he did for Motörhead is quite simply indelible.  As our good friend Steve 'Krusher' Joule said, "RIP dear Würzel, a rocker and a gentleman."

From Lemmy: “Wurzel was my friend and my brother and he's never going to laugh with me again or bitch me out or do….anything. And that truly and cosmically SUCKS. RIP Wurz Godspeed. Good Man.”

Heavy Metal fans are known for being aggressive and fairly angry people. If you haven’t been to a metal concert let me explain what happens. When the music starts to sprawl out of their speakers, a loud euphoric sense of metal rage starts to engulf the participants in this bastion of ritual mawshing and screaming. Trust me when I say they live up to their reputation, but when one of their own passes away, all past assumptions are thrown out the window. On July 9th, the guitarist from Motörhead died of ventricular fibrillation caused by heart disease. The single named Würzel was 61 when he passed and had all metal fans in tears.

Michael Burston, aka Wurzel, was born in 1949 in Cheltenham, Gloucestershire. He joined Motörhead in 1984 alongside the second guitarist Phil Campbell after Brian Robertson's short-lived time with the group. According to Spinner, Wurzel joined the band after writing a letter to Lemmy, the lead singer of Motorhead: “I wrote [Lemmy] a letter and sent a tape, and he phoned me up for an audition. He also said, 'We'll probably end up with an unknown guitarist', and there was no one in the country who was more unknown than I was.” 

Burston also played on nine studio and live albums with Motörhead. He quit the band in 1995, but after his departure, he would occasionally perform in subsequent albums the group would make. While most of us are thinking this guy is a badass, wait until you hear this: what makes the guitarist more metal than the fans he played too, a term that can be equally enduring, was that he was a corporal in the British Army. It was there where he earned his nickname, Wurzel, on the account of his grizzly appearance, which made him a perfect fit for the rest of this group.

For many fans who listen to heavy metal or hard rock, there are three bands that immediately come to mind when contemplating the precursors to the genre. The first band is Black Sabbath. You know that group, the one who is led by Ozzy Osbourne before his drug addictions carried him away into a crazy train. The next one is Thin Lizzy, the only hard rock group of that time who had an Irish black guy as the lead singer. Finally, the group that inspires most people to cherish their Slayer records with heightened anger is that little band from London, Motorhead. Throughout the late 1970’s and 80’s Motorhead spread it’s metal wings to a wide range of audiences and was, along with Sabbath and Thin Lizzy, one of the founders of heavy metal. Wurzel's legacy won’t be forgotten.

Press Release for Hollywod Hillbillies

EEL Productions Announces CD and Digital Release of

Singer/Songwriter - Sharynlee and Heavy Metal Musician Icon

Lemmy Kilmister Country Music Duet Recording, “Hollywood

Hillbillies”

Singer/Songwriter, Sharynlee, a more traditional country music Artist has recorded a

Duet with Lemmy Kilmister, Lead Singer/Heavy Metal – Rock Musician of music

bands Motörhead, and The Head Cat, a rockabilly superstar group. The recording

titled, “Hollywood Hillbillies” was written by Sharynlee. It covers the fascination of

people from everywhere in the world who seek “the much desired Hollywood fame,

as well as, their attraction to the well-known Hollywood Boulevard phenomenon.

This is the first country music collaboration for the well- known rock and roll star.

According to Management, they were all surprisingly shocked with Lemmy’s

performance and the production of this project. He sounds genuinely authentic on

the Two-Steppin’ and classic Line Dancing style music track. The two voices blend

well together, with Sharynlee’s touch of smooth twang, yet, sometime rough vocal,

up against Lemmy’s raspy sound. “He reminds me of a young Kris Kristofferson,

and he sang with such ease,” says Sharynlee. “He was so much fun to work with,

while very serious; even, to the extent of reminding me to sing a word in the same

manner of my natural southern dialect,” she further explains.

What on earth does a Black Female American Country Music Singer, and a British

Heavy Metal Rocker have in common? A little over a decade the two met while

attending an Alice Cooper Concert in West Hollywood. There, they discovered

mutual admirations, including individual memorable experiences in North Carolina, a

love of Merle Haggard’s music, and songwriting. For certain the two voices teamed

up on, “Hollywood Hillbillies” are magical and mesmerizing, as ironic and

coincidental, as their first meeting. Don’t mistake this as a fluke. They intend to

complete an Duet album with tour support in the future. You’ll find forthcoming

reviews in MOTORHEADBANGERS Fan Club magazine, and other Music Industry

Publications.
