Motorhead 'Inferno' Interview (Bel Age Hotel, California, April 2004, Pt.1) Lyrics

It's not much, uh, we're not the biggest band in the world
We're not the smallest band in the world
But, uh, I think we, we're up on the top five
We're the most touring band in the world, that's for sure
And it's nothing that we really try to set out for
It's just the nature of this band, you know?
We always said and, and, I always said
The day that we start looking at our past
Or sit around a roundtable going
"Well, we need another 'Ace of Spades', we need another 'Overkill', we need another 'Sacrifice'"
That day, it's over
Then we'd just kind of be a bad copy of our own legend, if you want, or
That is gonna kill us
This album is a reflection of, I would say, last year in general
You know, touring, camaraderie, um
Fun or terrible or, you know, disappointments, anything
It's gonna be a small reflection in this album
And this album has been the smoothest record to write, record, mix and do
Out of all the albums I've been with Motörhead now which is
We're on the tenth record I think, so, it's unbelievable But that all, that, that I give credit to, last year was a very good year for us
You cannot think all that, you gotta do, do your own thing
And if you do it, and you do it truthfully, the way Motörhead is doing it
They feel it, they know it and they feel it
This is not bogus, we're not sitting here pretending this, you know?
Uh, you can be as tough and badass and motherf*cker and all this as you want but
When you're on stage, you get undressed
You're f*cking naked up there, and, and that's where you actually show your true color, you know?
So when we go back to this record now that is coming out
I can say almost the same thing
That this album for us has turned, is a very good album for us
It's a very up-tempo, very
I can't say happy record because it's not, but it's a, it's more a positive album
It's an up-tempo, more Motörhead to me than what we did last record
That was not so much, uh, Motörhead to me
That was more a moody Motörhead, you know? And
And this is more back in the saddle I'd say
