MOTORHEAD
Videography

"My earliest memory is shouting. At what and for what reason, I don't know. Probably a tantrum; or I may have been rehearsing." Ungkapan jujur Lemmy Kilmister, frontman Motorhead itu memang tergambar jelas dalam videografi mereka. Dia gemar bercerita soal banyak hal. "I just turn it up really loud and hit it really hard! No effects at all. I've never really used any pedals." Setelah tigapuluh tahun karir band-nya yang menelurkan duapuluh tujuh album dan sebelas kali pergantian personil, Motorhead memang layak mendapat status legenda rock/metal di planet ini. "Well, if you're going to be a musician you don't need samples. You can do it yourself!..." Videografi ini berisi dua keping DVD plus 48 halaman buklet berisi foto-foto dan stori lengkap Motorhead. Beragam sesi interview dengan Lemmy Kilmister, juga Phil 'Philty Animal' Taylor dan 'Fast' Eddie Clark. Termasuk juga komentar gitaris Wurzel sejak dia keluar dari band ini secara kontroversial pada tahun 1995, dan Brian Robertson [eks Thin Lizzy] yang sempat gabung Motorhead di album Another Perfect Day [1983]. Dilengkapi opini dari jurnalis rock Mick Wall, karya fotografer Fin Costello, dan Gerry Bron, pendiri Bronze Records yang jadi label rekaman pertama Motorhead. "The central axis is the music that we originally started out doing with Phil and Eddie in the band. They've gone but the basic idea is the same, because it was my idea, and I'm still here." Mencatat sebuah perjalanan panjang sejak awal tujuhpuluhan. Tentang roadies, groupies, dan rockstar. Juga Hawkwind dan band-band di eranya. Amphetamine, morfin, dan bir. Logo tengkorak dan grammy award. Dari sesi recording hingga ribuan panggung. Soal sound, musik sampai fenomena 'sex, drug and rock & roll'. It's so bloody rooted. "The Orgasmatron name came from the three things that's I hate most in life; organised religion, politics, and war." Video ini cocok buat mereka yang ingin mendalami histori dan kultur heavy metal, terutama kolektor dan fans sejati Motorhead. "Everybody has his own memories and memories are what make it good. I've liked all the periods for different things. I've seen the cycle go round four times. It'll always come back to rock n' roll." Memang untuk band sekaliber Motorhead, dua keping dan 48 halaman sudah pasti belum menceritakan semuanya. Yeah, dead men tell no tales!... [lucifersam]
