May 27 [10:00 EDT] -- W.A.S.P. and Motörhead will launch and all-out assault on eardrums and delicate sensibilities when the two bands kick off a U.S. tour next week.

Lemmy Kilmister and his fellow metal journeymen in Motörhead will headline the tour, which comes out of the gate June 6 in Philadelphia.

Lemmy recently traded in his bass and trademark growl for a stint on the big screen, turning up as the narrator of "Tromeo & Juliet," a big screen adaptation of Shakespeare's "Romeo and Juliet" produced by the same folks who brought the world "The Toxic Avenger" and "Class of Nuke 'Em High.
