Friday, July 14: Motörhead, "Tear Ya Down"
R.I.P. Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister (1945-2015), "Fast Eddie" Clarke (1950-2018), Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor (1954-2015)
By Motörhead standards, Overkill wasn’t nearly as heavy as most of the brawling barnburners they would put out over the next 35 or so years. But it was more than a little shocking in 1979, and “Tear Ya Down” helped introduce the band’s overall concept with a distinctly Lemmy blend of aggression, speed and swagger. Jimmy Miller’s mix put the vocals in the back a bit, but one could easily make out the classic Lemmy charm, and in a lot of ways the tune was closer to his vision and mission statement as it played like a grooving classic rock and roll number even with the stungun bass, unhinged drumming from Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie Clarke’s all-attitude soloing. The basic influences were apparent, but Motörhead was an entity unto itself, and “Tear Ya Down” was a prime early instance of their singularity.
