In realtà non è stato trovato un degno successore del grande "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith"!!! un grande live, per una band come i Motorhead, che anche con una sola ora di concerto potevano infiammarti il cervellino! Questo successore, o meglio fratello minore, è intitolato "No Sleep At All", ed è registrato durante un concerto in Finlandia a seguito della pubblicazione di "Rock N' Roll" (1987).
Comunque Lemmy e Co. danno il massimo come sempre, ma percepisco un notevole invechiamento nella voce del leader. Ma passiamo all'analisi dell'album: il cd si apre con "Dr. Rock", brano di "Orgasmatron", qui in sede live piu ancora piu rockettara e con dei riffone da paura di Lemmy. La seconda traccia è del new album, ovvero "Rock n Roll", e si chiama "Traitor" brano classico del repertorio Motorhead. Stessa cosa vale per la successiva "Dogs", che però e piu' lenta di quella in studio, cosa strana per i Motorhead!!! E finalmente, arriviamo ad "Ace Of Spades" che è lo speed metal in persona! qui versione di due minuti e venti, ancora piu veloce del solito. La seguente è "Eat the Rich", canzone che spero conosciate, perche almeno a me piace davvero tanto. Le 2 seguenti ovvero "Built For Speed" e "Deaf Forever" sono a dir poco uguali, e quando le ascoltai per la prima volta mi resi conto solo dopo che erano due tracce distinte! ma comunque sono davvero spettacolari! Poi l'autentico must del disco, ovvero "Killed By Death"......... che brano signori! un rock frenetico, che si interrompe solo per lasciar spazio al drumming che introduce l'immortale "Overkill", il brano che porto all ribalta i Motor, il brano che per due volta fa finta di concludersi e poi riprende ancora all'infinito, e ancora di nuovo..................!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Davvero un bel disco, ma non tanto quanto "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" di sette anni prima! W MOTORHEAD!!
Elenco tracce e testi
02 Traitor (02:50)
You stand accused of treason, you offer no good reason
You are a bloody liar, yours is the stake the fire,
You say you are innocent, but you be caught and spent
And now you pay the price, for avarice, your vice
Intrigue your sole desire, you sold your wife, your child
You sell your oldest friends, you sold your countrymen
And yet we know your name, traitor, traitor
And now your face is shown, and so your fate is known,
We have discovered you, we have uncovered you,
You say you were led astray, fall on your knees and pray,
Pity is not for you, we'll make things hot for you,
Our hearts we make to harden, for you there is no pardon,
For you the spike awaits, upon the traitors gate,
And crows will eat your eyes, traitor, traitor
Delight we find in you, as we are binding you,
You look in vain for friends, you only find revenge
We give you blood and steel, we break you on the wheel
The ones you hope to sell, will send you straight to hell,
As we dismember you, we shall remember you,
You are abomination, you that betray the nation
You shall take long to die, traitor, traitor!!!
03 Dogs (03:25)
Here we are in confusion
Could be it's all an illusion
Who knows the times to come
The years to face, the race to run
We believe in graven image
We believe in the fight to the finish
We desire the almighty dollar
The pound of flesh, the golden collar
Lick the hand, we give our land to dogs
Here we are in the years
The blood, the sweat, the tears
Have made us bondage slaves
In a world that we never made,
The politicians lick our bones,
The tacticians, hearts of stone
They turn us against our brothers
Make us fight and kill each other
Locked in lust we put our trust in dogs
Here we are again,
The dead still look the same
Who cares they're soon forgotten
Nobody loves corpse that's rotten
Your fathers, mothers, daughters, sons
Have been taken by the chosen ones
But don't forget you made the choise,
You made your mark, you raised your voice,
They're all the same, you're all to blame
You're dogs
04 Ace of Spades (02:52)
If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man
You win some, lose some, it's all the same to me
The pleasure is to play, it makes no difference what you say
I don't share your greed, the only card I need is
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades
Playing for the high one, dancing with the devil,
Going with the flow, it's all a game to me,
Seven or Eleven, snake eyes watching you,
Double up or quit, double stake or split,
The Ace Of Spades
The Ace Of Spades
You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever!
And don't forget the joker!
Pushing up the ante, I know you've got to see me,
Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again,
I see it in your eyes, take one look and die,
The only thing you see, you know it's gonna be,
The Ace Of Spades
05 Eat the Rich (04:34)
They say music is the food of love,
Let's see if you are hungry enough,
Take a bite, take another, just like a good boy would,
Get a sweet thing on the side,
Home cooking, homicide,
Side order, could be your daughter,
Fingerlicking good
Come on baby, eat the rich,
Put the bite on the son of a bitch,
Don't mess around, don't give me no switch,
C'mon baby eat the rich
C'mon baby eat the rich
Sittin' here in a restaurant,
Tell the waiter just what you want
Is that the meat, you wanted to eat,
How would you ever know?
Hash browns an' bacon strips,
I love the way that you lick your lips,
No fooling, I can see you drooling,
Feel the hunger grow
[Chorus]
Eat up, eat you, eat me,
Eat two, get one free
Shetland pony, extra pepperoni
Just pick up the phone,
Eat greek, or eat chinese,
Eat salad, or scarf up grease
You're on the shelf, maybe eat yourself,
Come on, bite my bone
[Chorus]
06 Built for Speed (04:53)
You know the rules, you all know the game
Try and do whats right
And I swear I can't complain
If I die tonight
But I don't think its in the stars
For me to go that way
I'll be here for a long, long time babe
I'm here to stay
[Chorus]
I was born to rock'n'roll, everything I need
I was born with the hammer down
I was built for speed.
Bet your life it ain't no easy money
But you won't hear me bitch
Spent a long time wrecked and funny
I've got the ten year itch
See me running all around the world
Trying to make some time
A million miles, a million girls
A million real good times
[Chrous]
Don't you listen to a single word
Against rock'n'roll
The new religion, the electric church
The only way to go
I don't give a good goddam
My lifes been alright
I'm gonna crazy out of my mind
Every single night.
[Chrous]
08 Just 'cos You Got the Power (07:35)
You might be a financial wizard,
With a sack of loot,
All I see is a slimy lizard,
With an expensive suit,
Go on and run your corporation,
Go and kiss some ass,
You might buy half of the nation,
But you can't buy class.
You bastards think it's funny,
Lyin' and thieving all your life,
Think all there is money,
Got your future strapped up tight,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right.
You can take my fingers babe,
You can take my eyes,
You can take my past and future,
It won't make you wise,
You can have me thrown in jail,
You can steal my booze,
You can even read my mail,
Step on my blue suede shoes.
You bastards must be clever,
Got it mapped out in black and white,
But don't forget you'll never,
Get a dog to walk upright,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right.
Go on out make another deal,
Feed your big fat face,
Go on out and cop a feel,
Get on somebody's case,
You surely would be satisfied,
If you could have it all,
But time ain't on your side,
You're going to the wall.
You think that life's all dollars,
Greed and lust and spite,
But I wasn't born to follow,
Like to get my sleep at night,
Just 'Cos You Got The Power,
That don't mean you got the right.
09 Killed by Death (05:59)
If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you
I'm a romantic adventure
And I'm a reptile too
CHORUS:
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
I'm a lone wolf ligger
But I ain't no pretty boy
I'm a backbone shiver
and I'm a bundle of joy
CHORUS
But it don't make no difference
'cos I ain't gonna be, easy, easy
the only time I'm easy's when I'm
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
Killed by death
10 Overkill (06:40)
Only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud,
So good you can't believe it's screaming with the crowd,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
On your feet you feel the beat, it goes straight to your spine,
Shake your head you must be dead if it don't make you fly,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
Know your body's made to move, you feel it in your guts
Rock 'n' roll ain't worth the name if it don't make you strut,
Don't sweat it, get it back to you,
Overkill, Overkill
