Review by ZeroSymbolic7188 for Motörhead - Ace of Spades (1980)

I am a die hard Motorhead fan. Lemmy Kilmister is the father figure I never had. This is the band and the man that got the coveted BIG BACK PATCH on the battle vest. It's just bangers from start to finish, and an absolute monster of an album.

You get the greatest three piece Rock and Roll band that has ever existed; ON THE DRUMS PHILTHY ANIMAL TAYLOR! ON THE GUITAR FAST EDDIE CLARKE! and ON THE BASS AND VOCALS LEMMY KILMISTER!  THEY WERE MOTORHEAD AND THEY PLAYED ROCK AND ROLL. NEVER FORGET THEM!

An album of fast and furious boogy-woogie rock, covering such topics as Western Movies, Gambling, Chasing Women, Life on The Road, and Rock and Roll itself. 

It's as perfect as rock music gets. The fury of this band can not be described just experienced. Go experience it!

My soul small bugaboo is that it's not a metal album. Lemmy was steadfast and consistent in his feelings that Motorhead were a rock and roll band. I've read and watched everything about the man that I can get my hands on. He always maintained that while the metal and punk rock communities absolutely embrassed them-Motorhead were a straight up fast Rock and Roll band, and when I go back and listen to his inspirations: Eddy Cochran, Little Richard, etc. their influence really is quite prominent in Motorhead's music. At it's core Motorhead play that old school rock and roll, but they play it faster and meaner than anybody else was at the time, and more importantly BETTER.
