Song Featuring Lemmy Kilmister,
Out Now!
About half a year before his death in 2015, Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister finished what would be his last solo recording, a collaboration with guitarist Chris Declercq.
​
The song, "We Are The Ones", bears all of Kilmister's trademarks: gritty vocals with lyrics like "I can escape the feeling/I know just what I'm needing", a revved-up tempo and, of course, his rumbling bass playing.
