March ör Die

March ör Die is the tenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead, released in August 1992.

[1] The album features guest appearances by Ozzy Osbourne, Guns N' Roses guitarist Slash, and veteran drummer Tommy Aldridge.

In addition, frontman Lemmy had co-written four songs for Ozzy Osbourne's 1991 blockbuster album No More Tears at the invitation of Ozzy's wife and manager Sharon Osbourne, including "I Don't Want to Change the World'", "Desire", "Hellraiser", and the hit single "Mama, I'm Coming Home", generating much needed income.

In his autobiography White Line Fever, Lemmy recalls: "That was one of the easiest gigs I ever had – Sharon rang me up and said, 'I'll give you X amount of money to write some songs for Ozzy', and I said, 'All right – you got a pen?'

Early in the recording, drummer Phil Taylor parted ways with Motörhead for a second time as his abilities and commitment came into question.

Subsequently, March ör Die features three drummers: Taylor, Tommy Aldridge, and Mikkey Dee, who would later join the band as a permanent member until Lemmy's death.

"Ozzy Osbourne duets with Lemmy on the track "I Ain't No Nice Guy", which also features Slash from Guns N' Roses on lead guitar.

Considering that both Osbourne and Guns N' Roses were enjoying immense popularity at the time, "I Ain't No Nice Guy" seemed poised to become a major radio hit, but according to Lemmy's memoir Sony tried to suppress the single because it was utilizing WTG Records as a tax write-off: "'Ain't No Nice Guy' was actually a radio hit, but that was completely down to us, without any help from Sony, or its marketing department at Epic.

The March ör Die recording sessions took place in Los Angeles and coincided with the eruption of the Rodney King riots in the city.

Lemmy later recalled to Classic Rock Revisited: "I was doing a vocal and I finished and came into the lounge, and there was a TV on that was showing a house burning.

"All lyrics are written by Kilmister; all music is composed by Motörhead, except where notedCredits adapted from the album's liner notes.
