Motörhead has never just been the best rock 'n' roll band in the world. They've never just been the loudest. Or the hardest. Or the toughest. Or the bad-ass-est! No...Motörhead is also a way of life! A hell-raising, rebel-rousing, rock 'n' roll lifestyle that is perfectly embodied in their music. As Lemmy puts it, "Rock 'n' roll is a vocation," and although, "it's been 'old' forever, it never dies." It's that philosophy that has kept Motörhead untouchable in the art of hammering your ears, eyes and spine with their unique Motör-music for approaching four decades!

The British heavy metal giants issued their definitive album Ace Of Spades in 1980, their fourth full-length released in just over a three year span. Described as "one of the best metal albums by any band, ever, period," Ace Of Spades is home to the band's trademark anthem of the same name and is regarded as a major influence in the development of thrash metal and hard rock.

The classic lineup of Lemmy on bass and vocals, 'Fast' Eddie Clarke on guitar and 'Philthy Animal' Taylor on drums was on a serious roll following the release of both Overkill and Bomber a year earlier and Ace of Spades brilliantly encapsulates everything that made the early incarnation of Motohead so legendary. In addition to the iconic title cut, the 12-song set features such barn burners as “(We Are) The Roadcrew,” “Jailbait” and  “The Chase Is Better Than The Catch.”

"If this band moved next door to you, your lawn would die." - Lemmy
