We Are Motörhead is the fifteenth studio album by British rock band Motörhead. It was released on 15 May 2000 via Steamhammer, their fifth with the label, equalling their Bronze Records total of full length original album releases.
Recording The album contains a cover of the punk band The Sex Pistols' song "God Save the Queen", for which the band recorded a promo video atop an open-top London AEC Routemaster bus. In the Motörhead documentary The Guts and the Glory, vocalist and bassist Lemmy Kilmister declares:
Release At the time of We Are Motörhead's release, the band was in competition with itself as the compilations Deaf Forever: The Best of Motörhead and The Best of Motörhead also came out, something the band had no control over.
Artwork Joe Petagno, the sleeve artist, commented on the influences behind the cover concept:
