Motorhead at the Midland is rock in its purest form

Better Than: Whatever you were doing last night.

Last night, Lemmy Kilmister walked onstage of the Midland and said the same thing he says every night to open the show. It is the Zen koan of heavy metal.

“We are Motorhead,” he meditated. “And we play rock and rolll!”

(Do you like that quote? I do. Here’s another from another badass, Genghis Khan: “I turn to simplicity. I turn again to purity.”)
