Back in 2008, photographer and lifetime Motörhead fan Pep Bonet met up with his favorite rock & roll band to capture their European tour. Since then, Bonet's traveled around the world with Lemmy Kilmister, Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee, capturing everything from soundchecks and backstage antics to studio time and intimate personal moments. Bonet's photos are compiled in a new book, Röadkill, which you can order on his website.

Now you can check out this exclusive multimedia collection of Bonet's pictures, narrated by the photographer himself. "I admired these people before I met them," says Bonet in the clip, "and I can say I admire them more now because I've seen the reality of the best rock & roll band in the world."

“Everyday People”

Sly and the Family Stone | 1968

"Everyday People" managed to trailblaze in two different ways -- it was one of the first pop hits to deal with the subject of racial harmony, and it utilized Larry Graham's "slap" technique on the bass guitar, which would soon be copied by countless other bassists. Graham once said about his pulsating style, "I'd never done that before … that's where the freedom of creativity came in for the band, that we'd be allowed to do that." In 1978, the song's line "Different strokes for different folks" would be borrowed for the title of the hit television show Diff'rent Strokes.
