Motorhead

In August 1991, during a time of immense creativity and energy, Motorhead was riding high on the success of their album '1916,' released earlier that year. This live performance of Chuck Berry's 'Let it Rock' on the David Letterman Show showcased not just Lemmy's iconic gravelly voice but also his deep-rooted love for rock 'n' roll legends like Berry. The band's energetic presence and genuine camaraderie with the backing band, often dubbed 'The World's Most Dangerous Band,' made for a memorable moment in television history. It’s intriguing to note that '1916' featured some of Motörhead's most melodic tracks, marking a slight departure from their traditional sound. Yet, their live antics never failed to emphasize the raw power and authenticity that defined their career. Lemmy's unforgettable stage persona and undying commitment to rock remain legendary, even decades later.
