I've always thought that the philosophy of Motorhead was more interesting than the actual music. Lemmy is such an original that I think that I would rather listen to him drunkenly philosophize in a bar than listen to his music. Of course they've got some great tracks...we all know the list, but I've always been partial to Iron Fist, especially the old live video, seemed to capture the NWOBHM scene perfectly. In terms of albums I really enjoy 1916 because of the variety of styles. Motorhead really just may be the heaviest, fastest rockabilly band ever and that comes across on Going to Brazil and Ramones, but then to hear Lemmy croak his way through the title track really brings a tear to an old metalhead's eye.
ReplyDeleteOh man I love Motorhead. I think I will always fondly remember 'Another Perfect Day' - What a great album...
ReplyDeleteRick : That Judas Priest album was the heaviest I heard at that stage of my life and it was just awesome. I still laugh at the memory of my father's secretary asking me whether it was a religious album just judging by the title.
Ray Gillen : Iron Fist was the first album I heard of Motorhead and head on with 'Another Perfect Day' ("America Hot as Hell!" or what about "If you squeeze my lizard
I'll put my snake on you")
Metal Mark : Dude you time machine is working... man I really like this blog !
Another Perfect Day really took me out when they sent me the reissue...I never paid it much mind back in the day, but it's kind of underrated! I remember Orgasmatron making me realize these guys were so unheralded in the eighties, but time has healed that wound. Favorite album? Either Iron Fist or Overkill.
ReplyDeleteFavourite Motorhead songs? I'll go with the obvious, Ace of Spades. Though Love Me Like A Reptile and Orgasmatron are pretty great too.
