Motörhead’s most famous collaborations

Motörhead have created some incredible music – that isn’t in dispute. However, when a band becomes as popular as they were and are, everyone wants a piece. It’s not only their songs that are a hot commodity but the very essence of them.

It’s this trend that’s led to the increasing number of collaborations among the rich and famous. No matter how much of themselves bands give in their music and performances, fans are forever clamoring for more. This makes anything they put out there an instant bestseller.

We see it all the time. Motörhead is not the exception here, but the rule. Look at the Metallica x Billabong or Led Zeppelin x Vans collaborations to see what we mean. It happens over and over, but Motörhead is a band that has embraced the trend more than most.

In this article, we’ll look at some of their most famous collaborations.

Motörhead x Lakai

While the two might not seem like natural helpmates, the skateboarding community has long embraced the hard rock and heavy metal scenes. For one reason or another, this type of music has become a seamless fit for the skating subculture, so it made sense when Motörhead and Lakai put out a skating shoe back in 2018. Even cooler, they developed it in collaboration with pro skater Riley Hawk. The song Fast and Loose was used as inspiration when designing the shoe.

Motörhead x Midnight Art Dept.

The band has also been involved in several clothing collaborations, with design houses including Obey, Milltag, and Neighborhood. The latest of these is their upcoming partnership with Midnight Art Dept., which only recently launched its The Batman collection.

The range will celebrate the iconic English rock band’s unique style and is primarily inspired by the looks they modeled at the time of their Ace of Spades album release. It will include everything from hoodies and T-shirts to rock n’ roll staples like leather jackets. The idea is to use the collection to embody the band’s rebel spirit, with lots of their famous sayings emblazoned across the various items that make up the collection.

With prices starting at just $20, the capsule collection will be available for purchase on the Midnight Studio’s website from 25 March 2022.

Motörhead x NetEnt

The band has even extended its reach into the world of slots, with a titular game especially aimed at rock fans. The immersive title features their songs on its soundtrack, with many of the symbols also inspired by Motörhead imagery. Indeed, the game’s highest-paying icon is Lemmy, who pays out 150x the bettor’s stake when they land five of him on a payline.
