    Phil Campbell, of course, had been the guitarist of legendary band Motörhead from 1984 until the passing of its even more legendary frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, a couple of years ago.

    All in, it’s superior stuff, brimming with self-effacement and fun that belies the quality and seriousness from which it’s constructed.
