“It’s incredible to know that our music, and all it stands for, continues to resonate with so many people, of course we’re enormously grateful to still be appreciated like we are, and truthfully, the music remains as vital and important as ever because there’s a unique energy and honesty to it that we will all always need.” (guitarist Phil Campbell)

“It’s a remarkable story, the connection we have with our fans can only be described as family and it’s so exciting to see the family still growing. But it also makes sense, because people know who we are and what the music is about. Motörhead has always stood for doing it OUR way, it’s timeless, and continues to inspire people to take that path.” (drummer Mickey Dee)
