世界で最もラウドで、最もダーティで、そして最強最悪のロックンロール・バンド、モーターヘッド。その爆走の歴史は、フロントマンであり2015年12月28日に惜しくもこの世を去り、伝説となった絶対的フロントマン、レミー・キルミスターの歴史とも言えるだろう。75年から2015年に渡る40年間の輝かしいキャリアの中で、彼らは22枚のスタジオ・アルバム、10枚のライヴ・アルバムを発表してきた。世界中にダイハードなファンベースを持ち、ジャンルを問わず様々なアーティストに影響を与え続ける、真の伝説的ロックンロール・バンドだ。

モーターヘッドのキャリアの中で1995年から2008年に間にSteamhammerレーベルよりリリースされていた作品達が、2019年3月と4月に新たな権利元となるBMGよりリイシューされているのだが、そこに今回、2005年に発表されていたライヴ・アルバム『STAGE FRIGHT』が加わる事となった!

Although it was technically filmed one year too early (December 7, 2004, at Dusseldorf, Germany's Phillipshalle, to be precise), the discreetly double entendre-named Stage Fright DVD is meant to commemorate Motorhead's 30th anniversary (1975-2005), and does so with rather impressive results, it must be said. The concert itself is presented in unimpeachable visual and audio quality (multi-angle cameras, DTS 96/24, Dolby 5.1, and AC3 stereo sound), and captures Motorhead turning in a reliably top-notch performance from what was widely held to be the band's finest touring cycle in years -- not only because it was in support of a surprisingly memorable studio effort (2004's Inferno, introducing the memorable "Killers" and the brilliant acoustic guitar and harmonica breakdown "Whorehouse Blues"), but for reviving a few rarely played old classics ("Shoot You in the Back," "Over the Top," "Dancing on your Grave") amidst the usual on-stage warhorses, both welcome and necessary ("Killed by Death," "Ace of Spades," "Overkill") and inexplicably enduring ("Dr. Rock," "Metropolis," "No Class" -- all in serious need of retirement). Add to this an entertainingly crass and often self-demolishing commentary track provided by the ever lovable (if increasingly mummified -- he is 60, you know!) Lemmy Kilmister and merry henchmen Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee (incidentally, celebrating ten years as the most stable lineup Motorhead has ever had), and you may also be looking at a live concert first. Then there's the second disc, where featurettes about the fans, the show, the road crew (yes, them again), and backstage shenanigans at an L.A. show add up to an absolute embarrassment of bonus riches. (The only persons not interviewed directly were the two gigantic moles on Lemmy's cheek.) Cherry-top the whole deal with a generous photo slide show, amusing backstage rider, assorted DVD-ROM goodies, and a lavish package to hold it all, and the celebratory cause is done more than enough justice. Here's to 30 more years. ~ Eduardo Rivadavia|
