I'm not a super fan, but I do have some of their albums, mostly the early ones. And Inferno, I really like that one. Great live act, saw them a few times over the years.

I do have a funny story, a long time ago when I was a lot, lot younger I would come back home very tired and very late at night. I shared a room with my brother. Our procedure was to play the No Sleep vinyl and get to bed, I swear most of the time before Ace of Spades was over we were already snoring. By Stay Clean it was a done deal for sure. Never failed. I couldn't sleep otherwise, don't know why. I wish I could have told Lemmy his stuff put me to sleep :)

Or maybe I'm lucky I didn´t!

So, I wonder when the new AC/DC album will be announced?

Good evening we are Motorhead and we play Rockn Roll!

Miss going to see them live, you never left a Motorhead gig disappointed always wanting more.

Try Motorhead Stage Fright live on YouTube.

Try Overkill

I honestly don’t think they ever released a bad album. Sure some albums like March or Die and Snake Bite Love are a little weaker but they at least have some enjoyable songs on them that make the album worth having. Motörhead, AC/DC, and Judas Priest are the only 2 bands that truly honestly don’t think have ever released a bad album

Always loved S/T not saying its their best by any means but I love it.
No Remorse was my entry point...absolutely cracking compilation.

Posted By: DustDevilJust a fantastic band. Zero bullshit

Could have stopped right there I guess. It's one of those bands that make you feel like punching through a concrete wall while listening. And go total GONZANIA while attending a show. Apart from all the classics Inferno really does it for me.

I'll just leave this here. Fucking best opener they ever had. Attitude. Grit. Rock'n'Roll.

I tried.

Meh.

I want to like them but I can't get into the vocals. Does anyone else have the same problem?

Also, yes.

I'm gonna cop A LOT of shit, but lemmy is the best lyricist in rock and metal. Bon and Brian are amazing, and AC/DC will always be my favorite band of all time, but you'll never see them stuff like what Lemmy has. The man was incredibly well read, very verbose. Easily one of my favorite parts about the band. Down on Me is probably one of the most heart felt songs Lem has ever written and is undoubtedly top 10 Motorhead for me.

The vocals were a big plus for me when I got into them about three weeks ago. What I love most about Motorhead is the fact that, at least for their earlier stuff, it's not dark and strange such as with a lot of 80's metal bands (and I will argue til I die that Black Sabbath is still more rock than what we consider metal today), but that Motorhead was just playing really fucking loud and really fucking fast rock n roll. I don't care for the vocals of people such as Dio (although he's got undeniable talent), but Lemmy just felt so damn true. There's something about his voice that's like "here's the facts, I'm not fucking with you, now piss off."

Also, it's just badass.

Posted By: DustDevilI tried.

Meh.

I'd give at least 2 or 3 songs another go. After that, don't worry about it. My particular favorite is Stay Clean, or maybe it's Capricorn, or maybe the title track...

Awesome band.

Overkill is my favourite song and album.

First gig Bomber tour, last was Hyde Park a few years back.
Just so genuine.

2nd to AC/DC. Great band lemny is greatly missed.

Posted By: Belford74After the Glasgow Apollo gig in 83 the band came out from backstage and sat in the stalls for half an hour chatting to everyone and signing autographs.... never forgotten how cool Lemmy was. A true gentleman.

Indeed!

I lusted after No Remorse in the local record shop of my youth. The vinyl set in the 'leather' sleeve just looked so fucking cool.

Lemmy gave me permanent tinnitus (it’s actually really bad, no joke). And I’m not even annoyed lol.

Fantastic song with both swing and cynicism.

Posted By: Bedlam_in_TorontoI really dig the Fast Eddie years for the pure rock n roll. Fast Eddie was a one-demensional guitarist with riffs and all his solos sound the same to me but the band has a great rock n roll feel.

Another Perfect Day has some exceptionally melodic songs — while still retaining the Motorhead grit and spirit — and some of the best soloing ever in heavy rock. I hate the lack of bottom end and warmth in the production.

Orgasmatron is quite good too.

As Alex pointed out, No Remorse is a fantastic compilation — perhaps my all time fave.

I liked 1916 and Rock N Roll but the 90s output and onwards lost me. I felt it got much more metallic "chuggy" and less about the old time rock riffs like No Class, etc. Still good stuff, I suppose, i but a different beast.

Ironically, that's the same objection the die-hard 70s AC/DC fans level against the Johnson era (and I a huge fan of the early 80s AC/DC).

Motorhead IS heavy rock and roll. When it gets metal, it's not the same.

Agree with that. I prefer the rock and roll as well.

Despite having seen the end coming for a few years, I was distraught when I woke to find Lemmy had died.

I'm a big fuck, not prone to blubbing over anything that doesn't involve my kids, but I was in bits that day

Odd thing happened too. Some part of my musical interest just kinda gave up. Stupid I know but I stopped coming on here and other music forums, I've been to far fewer gigs these past few of years, and I don't sit in my little room listening to music like I used to. It's like a part of my enthusiasm and love of it all died that day too. Call me a soft cunt but there you are.

Best lp? Overkill but it's a close run thing with a dozen or more others. I saw them plenty down the years and they were always amazing live from gig 1 in 1983 to my final gig at Wembley Arena in 2014. Be it headlining a tiny venue or supporting at a huge festival, they played with honesty and always "cleaned your clock".

Lemmy always said it would never quite be the same without him and he sure wasn't wrong.
