The recording was made as a celebration of Lemmy shortly after the death of the Motörhead frontman. The band was Brad Sinsel (vocals), Carl Canedy (Drums), Brynn Arens (Guitar), Rick Pierce (Guitar), Evan Sheeley (Bass).
Immediately following Lemmy's death, the surviving members of Motörhead reached out to their fans and simply requested that they "play Lemmy's music loud. Have a drink or few. Share stories. Celebrate the LIFE of this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself."
Former members of TKO gathered together to follow those instructions on a dreary Saturday while tuning into the live broadcast of Lemmy's "Celebration Of Life." Brad Sinsel, frontman for TKO, Warbabies and Angels Of Dresden, took things a step deeper in his search for closure in the matter. Speaking with guitarist Rick Pierce, bassist Evan Sheeley, guitarist Brynn Arens, Sinsel asked with a grin, "How 'bout we go in and record some Motörhead? Who's game?" Immediate reaction from everyone was "Hell yeah!" Sinsel's next call was to Carl Canedy, drummer for The Rods. Sinsel said: "I couldn't think of anyone more fitting to do this with."
