Album
March ör Die
March ör Die is Motörhead's follow-up to 1991's 1916, and it came out in 1992. Its recording was disrupted early on when longtime drummer Phil Taylor was fired, and veteran drummer Tommy Aldridge stepped in to take his place. It was the band's second and final album for WTG Records.
The record also brings in some well-known guests. Ozzy Osbourne and Slash of Guns N' Roses both make appearances, which says something about the regard in which the band were held by other rock figures at the time. For listeners who know Motörhead mainly through their early classics, it is an interesting snapshot of a band in transition, working through a change behind the kit while still turning out heavy, riff-driven rock.
