About “Bastards”

This album was somewhat of a return to their roots for Motörhead, after the more commercially oriented 1916 and March ör Die (as far as you can go commercial with Motörhead at least). This album is an all out assault on the ears in a way only Motörhead could do, with the exception of a soft song about sexual child abuse (Don’t Let Daddy Kiss Me. The album, because of a bad choice of record label (ZYX), was really hard to get at the time, which explains why it didn’t do too well commercially. Most fans really liked the album, however. Lemmy himself called it one of the best albums we ever did in his autobiography White Line Fever.

It’s the greatest album we’ve ever recorded. The songwriting, the production, the playing, the effort we put into it. I think it’s perfect. There’s two dodgy guitar solos by Würzel in it, but the rest of it is amazing.
