“When we put the logo “Motörhead” on, I believe it should sound like Motörhead”, says Mikkey Dee, the trio’s drummer of twenty years. Yes, saying that Motörhead plays like Motörhead is indeed like saying “eureka” after reinventing the wheel. But if some critics want to point that out, the band will take it as a compliment, since it will mean that the job has been done within certain traditions and rules established through a score of albums.
But playing Motörhead isn’t as simple as it sounds; according to the drummer, it’s even “the hardest thing we can do: to write new songs that sound the same”. And if those new songs don’t come knocking, the band just won’t go looking for them and would rather go back on the road. To hell if that means delaying the album release by a year.
The same spirit of honesty and simplicity hovers over this interview with Mikkey Dee, who talks about his “family”, their latest baby, Aftershock, what the next one could possible sound like (a cover album, maybe?), and the health of the great patriarch, Lemmy, who keeps worrying his fans and who, in the end, is doing like any man going on his 68th birthday.
