3. Bomber
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IUid-tZCwD4 Recorded the same as year as Motörhead's seminal classic, Overkill, "Bomber" is the closing track on the album of the same name released in 1979. One of Motörhead's most popular tracks and a live favourite to this day, Bomber finds Lemmy waxing lyrical about one of his favourite subjects; war:
Scream a thousand miles, Feel the black death rising moan, Firestorm coming closer, Napalm to the bone, Because, you know we do it right, A mission every night, It's a bomber.
"Bomber" is a dirty, raucous number that remains one of Motörhead's greatest anthems and feels like an onslaught of noise and aggression from the minute the song takes flight. Lemmy would return to the subject of war many times on future albums but it is here that he blends the perfect cocktail of sound and subject matter.
