Yo-yo-hoes! Didn't do a dance party last week and I can't even remember why now...actually, come to think of it, I was just being lazy. Anypooh, I got a dope ass track for you turkey stuffed sassy pants tonight and I think a lot of you are really gonna dig this one. The song: Hellraiser! The band: Motörhead!!A couple of quaaludes and a half hours time, and I too, will put a spell on you...
Did you feel that thundering heat?! Well, I did, but the heat I felt is from when I went pee during the guitar solo...thanks, Lemmy. There are very few things scarier than a cenobite, but Lemmy from Motörhead comes pretty damned close. Written by Ozzy Osbourne, Zakk Wylde, and the moley one himself, Lemmy, Hellraiser was previously recorded by Ozzy in '91 for his No More Tears album. Motörhead went on to record the song and it famously showed up on the OST for 1992's Anthony Hickox directed, Hellraiser III: Hell on Earth.
Hellraiser and this post in general, bring me back big time. I love this song and the video is a welcome blast from the metal past too. I know for a fact that I have a VHS tape with this video on it as I used to recorded all the dope shit from Headbanger's Ball, and Hellraiser was one of my favs. You can't beat Lemmy playing poker against Pinhead, especially when you know Pinhead ain't got no chance...in HELL! And it may not be the best of the series, but I can't help but love every bit of 90's sweat that Hell on Earth drips. Great video for a great song!
Lemmy is God. That is all. Let's get this post-tryptophanic coma day party started!
ReplyDeleteI knew you would dig this one! Lemmy always brings da funk...watch out now!
ReplyDeleteIt was the song playing in the club scenes, right? Ah, when rock was about something... Hellraiser 3 is a personal favorite of mine.
ReplyDeleteI haven't seen the whole film in a while, so I can't even remember if the song even plays in the movie or not. Hell on earth did play on TV a few weeks ago and I caught some of it. It's still pretty bad in some spots, but I still like it for its 90'sness! Glad some one else likes it too!
