Congratulations to the four WikiBrothers who won the new album and an exclusive guitar pick from the band!!! Check out the winning answers and their authors:
– “Electricity”. Because it brings to light Lemmy's omnipresence, and rightfully honors 40 years of one of the pillars of Heavy Metal, one of the seminal bands of the genre. “Electricity” ensures that the melody of “Motörhead” continues to spread, making it not just a product, but an ideology that will never fade, forever resisting time – Rafael Ferreira
– A perfect opening track for both the album and the concerts. It begins with Lemmy uttering the song's title, which represents his dedication to Rock and Roll, enduring years of abuse and pressure to continue his music, and making it clear that death is the only option for his retirement from the stage. – Danilo Rodrigues
– The best song ever recorded for Bad Magic has to be Electricity! Motörhead is like that: like lightning in a storm, a burst from a lamppost, it's the energy of thousands of headbangers! It's not just an exciting sound, but the lyrics tell what Lemmy and Motörhead have been doing for the last 40 years: keeping their dreams and ideas alive regardless of what others think; you can be a "nobody" but by being honest with what you believe and do, nobody can buy your innocence, nor your soul! – Felipe Chadi
– Motörhead's Bad Magic album is like a party you don't want to end, so good you don't even realize when it's over. Therefore, it's extremely difficult (and unfair) to choose just one song as THE BEST on the entire album. But considering the whole package, for me the best song on the album is Thunder & Lightning, and I'll explain my reasons below.
The song begins with a straightforward drum intro from Mikkey Dee, which is quickly joined by the other instruments in a killer groove, resulting in one of the heaviest and fastest songs on the album. The vocals start in true "Lemmy quality" style – visceral, as if he's telling everyone to "go to hell." The drums continue at a fast pace, as does Phil Campbell, who grabs your attention with a heavy and macabre main riff that simultaneously makes you want to dance, jump, headbang, and go drinking at a party. The bass also makes its mark with a strong and fast groove (obviously). Then, the solo arrives like a "punch in the face," perfectly matching the song's atmosphere: fast, enjoyable to listen to, and without any frills. The song builds, increasing the tempo, to reach its peak with a final, wonderful riff, ending perfectly with Lemmy's strong, precise, and powerful chorus.
Furthermore, the song's lyrics are spectacular, as they seem like a biography of the band, their history, and values. They speak very bluntly about the misery and hardships of life on the road and human life in general, which, despite being so cruel, requires us to strive to the utmost to achieve what we want, because dreams can come true, just like nightmares. The song says that despite all the difficulties, the band has always remained steadfast in their career and on stage, and that with life's hardships, a person will tremble, perhaps even break, and that this is inevitable, but it's necessary to keep trying. The song says that the band always wanted a dangerous life, living on the edge, on the road and on stage, which, although difficult, is liberating, because this way they don't live trapped in a cage. Therefore, for all these reasons, for me this is the best song on the album. – Guilherme Ferreira
