Motorhead beat up bankers in Christmas single
Edited on Sat Dec-04-10 11:58 PM by roxiejules
via Telegraph UK -

Will Motorhead's anti-banking rant prove a Christmas top seller after a year of recession angst?

http://www.telegraph.co.uk/culture/culturevideo/musicvideo/8174693/Motorhead-beat-up-bankers-in-Christmas-single.html (video at link)

In a music video for new song Get Back in Line the band gate-crash a bankers' club and attack them with fists, a baseball bat, a chair and trays of their own broken champagne flutes. Meanwhile the band belt out their song from a rooftop overlooking the Square Mile.

After the raid lead singer Lemmy slams a '---- the Establishment' wild card into a game of blackjack.

While the sentiment is not exactly in the spirit of Christmas, the lyrics will strike a chord with the many thousands of people who have been affected by the economic downturn.

"We live on borrowed time, hope turned to dust. Nothing is forgiven, we fight for every crust," Lemmy sings.

1. heh. Lemmy's staying true to his anarchist roots.
But Killed by Death is still the alltime classic heavy metal music video.

They've been around a long time and it's great to hear how good they still sound.
