Metal Mania: "Killed By Death" by Motorhead

(Metal Mania: The Articles)

I recently held a party that was, well... just TOO MUCH METAL FOR ONLY ONE HAND! A lot of us got together and watched some horrible metal music videos, good times were bad. WYLFWT Team Member RJ45, FlareHolyMeteo, Brynna, The Pick, and SpicyMan were all in attendance along with RJ45's Fiance, KatieBug and long time reader EvilHomer. The party was called "Metal Mania" and we watched in the neighborhood of 40 videos that night while getting liquored up. So, I will be doing write-ups of some of those videos we witnessed!

Our first video is "Killed by Death" by Motorhead.

For those who don't know much about Motorhead, they are a New Wave of British Heavy Metal and Speed Metal band that formed in 1975. Their frontman is the infamous Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister whose duties include lead guitar and vocals. Not to mention that he is quite possibly the ugliest front man in metal. They didn't have their breakout hit until 1980, which was the hailed classic, "Ace of Spades," which rose on the UK Charts to #15, was ranked #10 on VH1's Greatest Heavy Metal songs of all time, and has been featured in several dozen soundtracks.

But we aren't covering Motorhead's signature song and anthem here. This is "Killed By Death," a minor hit they released in 1984.

We open up our epic story with a rebellious "teenager" (who looks to be in her late 20s, but I guess the camera adds 10 years).
	A really confused father, who hates his daughter's outfit and is apparently speechless about something. What could that be?
It must be our hero... Lemmy motherfucking Kilmister! Our favorite intelligible vocalist shows off his mad biking skills by bursting through some dry wa... err... I mean a pure cement wall!

We then cut to our hero on a motorcycle. Some might say he is "riding" in front of a green screen as his hair isn't even blowing in the wind. I just say that Lemmy Kilmister is just too damn powerful and can annihilate wind! How did I reach that conclusion?
	Well, first of all, Lemmy is popular with the ladies!
When bullets come flying, he absorbs all the bullets to protect people surrounding him.

And he can even get a funeral organized for him and gets buried so fast, the woman he rescues doesn't even get a chance to change her outfit!
	But that doesn't even matter because Lemmy survives cement walls, firing squads, electric chairs, and being covered in 6 feet of dirt! He really is the motherfucking Ace of Spades!
