Below is the official lyrics for Rancid‘s rendition of “Sex & Death” by Motörhead. The song is from “Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead,” which is out on BMG on October 31, as reported by blabbermouth.net.
It’s like it’s the perfect Motörhead song for me. You know as well as I do how much of a big Ramones fan Lem was. And it sounds to me like his take, Motörhead doing the Ramones. But there’s that little itty bitty guitar solo there. And it was the most Rancid-style song that Motörhead did that I thought it’s close enough to like a song we would write. – Lars Frederiksen
Across the fourteen tracks on this album, cunningly titled ‘Killed By Deaf’, you’ll hear a loving tribute to Motörheadfrom some of punk rocks’ biggest and most respected bands. Luminaries like Rancid, Pennywise, Lagwagon, GBH, The Bronx and FEAR all contribute raucous versions of their favourite Motörhead tracks… and also up-and-coming upstarts like Slaughterhouse contribute, because, let’s face it, Motörhead always loved and championed the underdogs.
The only non-Motörhead song on this album is from a previously unheard and blistering version of The Damned’s classic, “Neat Neat Neat“, featuring the great man, Lemmy, himself and The Damned.
“Killed By Deaf – A Punk Tribute To Motörhead” will be released on LP, CD and digital on 31st October 2025. See below for the full track listing and be sure to visit www.iMotorhead.com for news and updates!
