R.I.P. Metal Legend LEMMY – Passed Away 5 Years Ago

28 December 2020

The legendary MOTÖRHEAD hero LEMMY KILMISTER passed away 5 years ago today, on 28 December 2015. He was 70. He entered the music world as a roadie for guitar icon Jimi Hendrix and for prog act The Nice (with Keith Emerson).

The leather metal freak’s first band he played in was space rock outfit Hawkind. He was kicked out of the group after he spent 5 days in a Canadian prison for drug possession. So he started his own gang MOTÖRHEAD in 1975. They released 22 albums, with Bad Magic as the final one. It came out a couple of months before he died.

Rest in peace, motherrocker. You were ACE!

Last LP BAD MAGIC…

MOTÖRHEAD Released ‘ACE OF SPADES’ Album 40 Years Ago Today

Posted on by JL

30 October 2020

Band: MOTÖRHEAD (London)
Active: 1975-2015
Album: ACE OF SPADES – fourth LP

Released: 30 October 1980 – 40 years ago today
Score: #4 in the UK

AllMusic/Jason Birchmeier wrote: “‘Ace of Spades’ was Motörhead’s third great album in a row, following the 1979 releases of ‘Overkill’ and ‘Bomber’, respectively… The singular sound (still loud and in your face, rest assured), along with the exceptionally strong songwriting and the legendary stature of the title track, makes Ace of Spades the ideal Motörhead album if one were to choose one and only one studio album. It’s highly debatable whether Ace of Spades is tops over the breakthrough Overkill, as the latter is more landmark because of its earlier release, and is somewhat rougher around the edges, too. Either way, Ace of Spades rightly deserves its legacy as a classic. There’s no debating that.” Score: 4.5/5.

Lemmy: “I don’t really have the voice for love songs, do I?”

Turn Up The Volume: Sex, drugs, whisky, speedy
metal, and Lemmy. Winning combination.

The one and only single off the album, the classic ass-kicking title track…
