I know a lot of folks, likeme, actually really enjoyed hearing Killing Joke explore their more "Motorhead" side this past decade, with Jaz's vocals often sometimes in the past 15 years or so being compared to Lemmy's on tracks like "Endgame" or "Implosion," which are almost like Motorhead cover songs.
