Greatest Hits and Best of albums are usually a sterile collection of good songs crammed together and edited to fit without any thought to the meaning of the songs or the way they should go together. This was and will always be a real hardcore denim and leather band. They look today like they looked then and always.
Sometimes historical retrospectives like this can be a bit embarrassing, especially when you look at some of the foofy nylon and spandex "period" costumes that some of these otherwise excellent bands ( CELTIC FROST for example) wore. The sound is a heavy rock and rolling bout of Rock and Heavy Metal's original Blues roots. A side project for Clarke and Taylor with some friends from a band at the time called Johnny Thunders & The Heartbreakers. There is something special on the second disk a bit of history finally unburied from MOTÖRHEAD's past. With this disk you get it all, including the song "Overkill" from which the name of the Metal band OVERKILL was born. When Taylor moved on, the tempo changed with Pete Gill's more refined touch. You'll also hear Clarke's replacement Brian Robertson, and his replacements Wurzel and Phil Campbell. This album will also take you through the raw, barely produced sound of 1979's "Bomber". That's pathetic) and the string jumping fingers of 'Fast' Eddie Clarke, all together again. That means that we are treated to the impossibly fast drumming of 'Philthy' Phil Taylor ( many modern metal bands choose a 'drum machine' over / or to accent their real drummer because they cannot find the kind of awesome talent that was Phil Taylor. This album is especially cool because, in this day of re-recording everything for digital, ALL THE ACES instead brings together the music from the various albums without worrying about modern techno-techniques. I understand why he did it, he is trying to kill that damn beast. Perhaps that is why it is the only song on the two disk album to get a spiffy-do remix ( yes I'm being sarcastic because, NO I don't like it). Lemmy is too real to ever believe in his own hype.Įven Kilmiester will admit that he has sang "Ace Of Spades" so many times that it has lost meaning for him. This is such an unrelenting riff of total hardcore and yet still funny at the same time. Right now I'm listening to Lemmy's hard bass hitting "Orgasmatron". Songs like that and the always popular signature song "Motorhead" are always good but have been heard to death. The band, especially in the far more repressed United States where the word Fuck is still considered the height of rebellion, has had very few radio airplay hits beyond the well known "Ace Of Spades". This album is the best - the fans idea of what is best - about MOTÖRHEAD. And turbulence is what the music is all about. Bands as well) MOTÖRHEAD is an ever changing circus with only Lemmy Kilmiester remaining at the helm throughout the turbulence.
Like many Brit bands that have been around for awhile ( and a few U.S. If I go up to someone I know is a MOTÖRHEAD fan and just say the name, there is an instant smile of camaraderie.
MOTÖRHEAD elicits a fan appeal rarely seen among other fans of other bands. IF WE MOVED NEXT DOOR YOUR LAWN WOULD DIE." "This Ray Bradbury-esque is one of the most memorable and one of the more original stories I've read in a long time."ĭIRTIEST ROCK 'N' ROLL BAND IN THE WORLD.
