English term or phrase: it's good go to war music
Es un documental sobre Lemmy de Motörhead. El que habla es otro músico, ex-soldado norteamericano, y no hay más contexto que éste (copio toda su intervención). No acabo de entender lo que quiere decir con la frase.

I served several years in the U.S. Army as a special operations soldier, both in Ranger regiment and special forces, and I served in both Iraq and Afghanistan. I know Lemmy is a big military history buff. That was kind of my rock and roll connective tissue to the military, was probably Motörhead. Ya know, I would wear Motörhead t-shirts over there, in a way kind of stating my own individuality. Not to glorify war or say, yeah, war is really cool, or whatever. It is what it is, it’s a function of the human condition, but Motörhead is, it’s good go to war music.

¡Muchas gracias!

es buena música para el guerrero/para guerrear


Explanation:
Mi opinión ya que a Lemmy Kilmister se le consideraba un "guerrero" del rock duro. Varias páginas sobre esta definición que se le ha atribuido. Y tambien que el rock duro sube la adrenalina, bueno esto para afrontar presentarse a filas en una guerra.
