“Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead” Has Landed
“Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead” has Punk artist covering Motorhead songs. The tribute coincides with Motörhead’s 50th anniversary.
“The Punks loved us,” Motörhead’s late leader, Lemmy Kilmister (pictured above), once opined. “The only reason we weren’t in that lot was because we had long hair, so obviously we must be Heavy Metal. That was the thinking. But a lot of kids heard us without seeing a picture, so they thought we were a Punk band.”
One of the featured tracks is Pennywise’s version of “Ace Of Spades.”
“Getting into Punk Rock around 1980, basically the only Metal band that was allowed to be part of the Punk Rock scene was Motörhead, as far as I was concerned,” remembered Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge.” If you saw somebody show up in a jean vest with the Motörhead patch on the back, it was, like, ‘There’s a Metaller, but he can hang with us!'”

Another highlight is a collaboration between Motörhead and The Damned performing “Neat Neat Neat.”
It’s an ’02 remake of The Damn’s ’77 original of the same name, which appeared on the band’s debut album. The track had been bootlegged in the past but has seen an official release.
