LONDON--Motörhead is to play a special 25th anniversary concert at London's
Brixton Academy on October 22. The concert is titled 25 Years Doesn't Matter
Any More and will feature the line-up of Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and
Micky Dee, plus special guests.

The speed metal pioneers, best known for the hits "Ace of Spaces" and
"Killed by Death," released their latest studio album "We Are Motörhead" on
May 15, which was followed by a cover of the Sex Pistols' "God Save the
Queen" on July 31. The 40-track, two-CD "The Best of Motörhead" will be
released through Sanctuary Records on Aug. 29 and will include four
previously unreleased live "Motorclassics."

Before forming Motörhead, frontman Lemmy was in popular British space rock
band Hawkwind. He was kicked out of the band in the spring of 1975 after
spending five days in a Canadian jail for drugs possession. He formed
Motörhead the same year. The father of thrash metal is also in the process
of finishing his autobiography "White Line Highway," which he hopes to
release next year.
