This is Sabaton’s cover of Motörhead’s War epic “1916”. This is an emotional song and video about the Battle of the Somme. You may need some tissues handy. Sabaton also honors Lemmy and Motörhead in the video. Classy.

Dodge just announced that the 2015 Challenger SRT Hellcat will deliver 707 hp, in addition to 650 lb-ft of torque. Let us repeat. 707 horsepower. That's more than the last Corvette ZR1. More than the new Corvette Z06. Did we mention that's more than the frickin' Viper's V10?

Motorhead were forced to cancel Saturday’s (June 22) concert at Austria’s See-Rock Festival and have scrubbed their June 25 show in Milan as well. The reason? According to a Facebook post by the Italian promoter, frontman Lemmy Kilmister suffered a hematoma and was unable to go onstage.

Police in Yorkshire, England have launched a murder investigation after a Motorhead fan's hair was set alight at a show in Leeds. Cops are linking the bizarre incident to the death of a builder, who was fatally bludgeoned following the band's concert at the O2 Academy on Thursday night. Two men were seen running off after attacking Andrew Crawford, who later died of head wounds. Earlier in the evening a friend of Crawford's had his hair set alight by a fellow concertgoer. Det. Supt. Paul Taylor tells the Yorkshire Post newspaper, "There will have been around 2,000 people in the...

How to remember Michael Jackson? If it ever would turn out M.J. was a pedophile, I would regret having lived on the same planet. If the opposite ever was proven, I'm prepared to admit he was a great entertainer. However, I fail to see that Michael Jackson ever possessed a true rock'n'roll spirit. Chuck Berry does. A sincere American patriot like Jimi Hendrix did (- by the way, remember he was a 101st Airborne Division parachuter). Michael Jackson indeed was a very successful composer. But honestly speaking, he didn't know what true rock'n'roll was all about and he lacked attitude....

Pontiac Catalina History1961-1967 Introduction: As the cheapest and lightest of Pontiac's fullsize coupes and convertibles, the Catalina was the car of choice for fullsize performance enthusiasts. From light-weight body panels to Super Duty engines and other modifications, the Pontiac Catalina would firmly establish Pontiac's performance image. 1961 Pontiac Catalina Comments: Pontiac downsized its midrange Catalina and Ventura for 1961. Wheelbase dropped from 122 inches to 119, and overall length decreased by four inches. The result was a 200 pound weight loss which helped performance. Pontiac had introduced its new 389 cid V8 in 1959, and it would remain Pontiac's...

  1st Generation 1967-1969 Introduction: Having watched first the Ford Mustang and then the Chevrolet Camaro enter into the pony car market, Pontiac finally got into the act in the middle of 1967. The Firebird was offered with both six and eight cylinder engines, like the Mustang and Camaro, and was based heavily on the Chevrolet Camaro chassis. Pontiac did try to make it their own and would create a European styled and mannered pony car that could hold its own against its more experienced competition.  1967 Pontiac Firebird Comments: The Pontiac Firebird was released five months after the...

Dodge Super Bee History1968-1971 Introduction: Introduction: GM divisions had been doing it for years, but it wasn't until 1968 that the two MOPAR divisions, Dodge and Plymouth, began to engage in a bit of sibling rivalry. The result was the Dodge Super Bee, a direct competitor to Plymouth's Road Runner. Although a capable budget muscle car, it never was as successful as the Road Runner, which truly must have hurt. 1968 Dodge Super Bee Comments: Dodge watched as Plymouth launched their budget muscle car, the Road Runner, in the fall of 1967 as a 1968 model. Already upset that...

Oldsmobile 442 History1964-1973 Introduction: There are those who claim that it was Oldsmobile that created the first muscle car when it stuffed its hot new fullsize Rocket V8 into its midsize model to create the Olds 88 and Super 88 series back in 1949. But it wasn't until 1964 that Oldsmobile would return to the concept, encouraged by the success of the Pontiac GTO. Oldsmobile was the first GM division to follow Pontiac's lead, and began to offer fullsize muscle in its midsize Cutlass model. The package included the top engine available from Oldsmobile, a 330 cid V8 with...

LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - Academia's loss is heavy metal's gain. Ian Kilmister, a.k.a. Lemmy, the frontman for Grammy-winning English rock trio Motorhead, could have made a stimulating history professor, sharing his begrudging admiration for Goering and disdain for "bastards" like Hitler and Roosevelt with eager students. Instead, the 59-year-old achieved cult fame with generations of headbangers by singing and writing furious anthems like "Killed By Death" and "Orgasmatron." But he remains fascinated by World War II and he spends his money collecting Nazi memorabilia, which is piled high in his two-bedroom apartment off the Sunset Strip. "I was born in...

When not tying up his girlfriends, drinking Jack Daniels or taking speed, Lemmy of Motörhead, wild man of rock, likes to read PG Wodehouse. He tells all to David Jenkins From time to time comfortably clad, sensibly shod women of a certain age approach a 58-year-old man who's invariably dressed in skintight black jeans, white cowboy boots, a black shirt and an Iron Cross. His hair is dyed; so is theirs. His moustache, too, is dyed; they tend not to have one. He is Lemmy, the Jack Daniels-glugging fons et origo of Motörhead, the rock band that has deafened audiences...
