Snake Bite Love is the fourteenth studio album by the British heavy metal band Motörhead.
Background
Lemmy Kilmister described the making of the album as typical of Motörhead. Within six weeks before the start of the recordings, the band wrote all the pieces. While all texts written by Kilmister come, the music was written by all band members together. Only the title Do not Lie To Me composed and wrote the lyrics Kilmister alone. In the play Take the Blame hear an organ passage which was recorded by producer Howard Benson. The idea had Phil Campbell and Lemmy Kilmister, who wanted so Deep Purple keyboardist Jon Lord pay tribute. The drum work in the play Assassin is influenced by Arabic folklore. The arrangements of Desperate for You and Nightside designated Kilmister as unusual because it came without his involvement and not so fit together for this reason, music and singing, as he had imagined. The title song Snake Bite Love has been completely rewritten after recording the drum tracks and basic chords by Mikkey Dee of Kilmister and Campbell. Mikkey Dee also had problems with the word " Love" (English for Love) in the title of the album, after his performance would have Bite the Snake told.
While following the release of the album in March 1998, a complete tour performance at docks in Hamburg's St. Pauli was recorded in May 1998, which was published in the spring of 1999 as a live album Everything Louder Than Everyone Else.

Reviews
Stephen Thomas Erlewine of Allmusic called Snake Bite Love a characterless album. Although it is not really bad, but it offers nothing new, leg hold no really notable titles and leave no lasting impression. Götz Kühnemund noticed that with the Motörhead album " places on new (or at least unusual ) Terrain " venture and mentions as an example Take the Blame and the ballad- Dead and Gone. However, he also notes that Snake Bite Love not a " high flyer " was, some average tracks WOULD CHOOSE down the level and Lemmy Kilmister was going places, " audibly out of breath ."
