Motörhead released 23 studio albums, 10 live recordings, 12 compilation albums and five EPs over a career spanning 40 years. Usually a power trio, they had particular success in the early 1980s with several successful singles in the UK Top 40 chart. The albums Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades and, particularly, the live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith cemented Motörhead's reputation as a top-tier rock band. The band are ranked number 26 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. As of 2016, they have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
Most often classified as heavy metal, Motörhead has been credited with being part of and influencing numerous musical scenes, thrash metal and speed metal especially. Lemmy, however, always insisted that they were a rock and roll band. He said that they had more in common with punk bands, but with their own unique sound, Motörhead is embraced in both punk and metal scenes. Their lyrics typically covered such topics as war, good versus evil, abuse of power, promiscuous sex, substance abuse and, most famously, gambling, the latter theme being the focus of their hit song "Ace of Spades".
Lemmy died on 28 December 2015 from cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. The day after his death, drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell both confirmed that Motörhead had disbanded. By 2018, all three members of Motörhead's best-known line-up (Lemmy, Taylor and Clarke) had died.

Line In The Sand
Motörhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Full of change that no one sees
Clock makes a fool of history
Yesterday's too long ago
Dont agree with what I know
Tomorrow becomes the place to be
I see the line in the sand
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution
See my reflection change
Nothing ever stays the same
But you know the names the game
We all know what it means
Nothings ever what it seems
Unforgiven, unforseen
I see the line in the sand
Time to find out who I am
Looking back to see where I stand
Evolution
Evolution
In Motorhead's song Line in the Sand, the lyrics touch on themes of evolution, change, and personal growth. The first verse suggests that evolution is a mystery - full of change that no one truly understands. It goes on to say that time itself is a fool, as it makes a mockery of history and renders yesterday distant and unimportant. The lyrics are about facing a critical moment, where it's time to leave the past behind and embrace the future. The singer expresses doubt about what they know and the status quo, suggesting that they're ready for a change. They say that "tomorrow becomes the place to be" - reinforcing that they're ready for a new beginning.
The second verse signifies that the person has undergone a period of profound transformation. They see their reflection change, perhaps indicating that they've physically or emotionally altered in some way. They accept that nothing stays the same, and they're willing to play the game, even though it's not always clear where it will lead. They acknowledge that even though things may appear certain, they're not always what they seem. The chorus repeats, which emphasizes the idea that the individual is prepared to embrace evolution and discover who they truly are, despite the unknown.
