Bastards

This article is about the album; for other meanings, see bastard.

Bastards is the first studio album that Motörhead recorded with the short-lived Lemmy, Campbell, Wurzel and Dee line-up. It was also the first of four Motörhead albums that were produced by Howard Benson. After unsuccessfully commercialising the success of 1916 with it's 1992 follow up March or Die, the band returned to their roots, being loud and fast. The lyrical themes range from social criticism ("On Your Feet or on Your Knees"), war ("Death or Glory", "I Am the Sword") to child abuse ("Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me") and total mayhem ("Burner").

"Born To Raise Hell" was later recorded with Ice T and Whitfield Crane and released as a single (including a version on pitcure disc). This version of the song was featured in the movie Airheads. It remains as one of Motörhead's most popular songs to date.
