Biography

Motörhead's overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was one of the most groundbreaking styles the genre had to offer in the late '70s. Though the group's leader, Lemmy Kilminster, had his roots in the hard-rocking space rock band Hawkwind, Motörhead didn't bother with his old group's progressive tendencies, choosing to amplify the heavy biker rock elements of Hawkwind with the speed of… Read more in Amazon's Motörhead Store

Lem's Gems 29 Nov 2007
Format:Audio CD|Amazon Verified Purchase
I've often found Motorhead albums a bit middlin', a bit one-dimensional, (excepting 'Another Perfect Day' which is extraordinary) but often boasting 2 or 3 exceptional songs which usually find their way as singles releases.
Wouldn't it be sweet then, if some-one out there on Planet Motorbonce, decided in their wisdom, to compile said startling moments, and lash 'em on a double cd.

Which is just what they've done: 'Best of' (yes, I have had a chuckle at that title), is both a splendid retrospective of the groups ferocious history, and a top sampler for any coy popsters currently pondering whether to immerse themselves in that fantastic swirling, murky Motortop sound.

There's no way to describe it in print, unless you start going down the 'whoarrrrgggghhh!!' route with our studded-black-leather, metal-gnawin' brethren.
It's a colossal yet pleasing row, that WILL loosen your fillings, whip your brain with barb-wire etc etc.

It exists in a dimension us mortals can only glimpse into occasionally. That dark, hellish heavy-metal netherworld, of which we are justifiably afraid, and dare not enter without invoking the spirits of Lemmy and Philthy Phil (Animal) Taylor.
Courageous souls only on that trip.

So what the rest of us do, is buy this type of compilation to make us look brave; so our friends will think we've got some really challenging, unorthodox stuff sitting angrily next to REM and Brucie, just waiting to pounce!

'Best of's removal from its radio-active proof casing invariably results in mass groans and feeble cries of "Not them please, can't we listen to 'the Wall' ?"
Not in the Ess abode children, we like to go full hit into the maelstrom when the moon is full and certain celestial beacons are aligned. Watch them shudder as the intro to the paint-strippingly loud 'I Got Mine' pillages its way through the room. Observe them grovel as 'Ace of Spades' crunches its deathly outro into the back-from-the-pub, post-takeaway ether. See them wail in pain as the storming 'Iron Fist' rustles the curtains and rattles the window-frames, earthquake fashion (I'm loving this HM writing btw, the cliché count's through the roof!).

Some of these songs were decent chart hits of course, which shows the lads-in-black don't just deal in blood and guts apocalyptic metal mayhem (yay!) but have got a choon or 3 in their cupboard, along with some nifty pseudo-cynical lyrics.
A Smiths fan would appreciate Motorskull if it wasn't for all that leather; and why aren't they doing film music?
Imagine 'Lord of the Rings' or 'Harry Potter' with a Motornut soundtrack!

There's some filler, which is why I've docked 'em a star, but generally this double (thickness concrete?) cd is well worth a few spins.
That is, of course, if you don't mind what else comes in from that infamous netherworld...

Motorhead 14 Jan 2006
Format:Audio CD
Motorhead are a band that alot of people LIKE, but can't really be bothered to go and buy EVERY album, as most of us think that their stuff sounds pretty similar.
Therefore, for those people, this is perfect. its got all the classic songs you'd want ie 'No Class' 'Overkill' 'Damage Case' & (obviously) 'Ace of Spades'
If you're not a Motorhead nut, this will probably satisfy all your needs.
