English rock band Motorhead are known internationally well for their; heavy metal, hard rock, speed metal and rock and roll.
From ruin can come creation, after being fired from Hawkwind; Ian Kilmister better known as "Lemmy" decided to create his own band and he would call them "Motorhead" The reason in which Lemmy was fired was because he got arrested at the Canadian border on suspicion that he was possessing cocaine forcing the band to cancel a few of their tour dates.
Lemmy would go on to recruit Larry Wallis on electric guitar and Lucas Fox on drums. Having played 10 gigs now the band were the supporting act to Blue Oyster Cult when they came to perform in London at the Hammersmith Odeon. The band were then signed to United artists and Fox was replaced as he turned out to not be the most reliable person, Fox was replaced by Phil Taylor.
The current lineup of Motorhead includes: Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, Phil "Wizzo" Campbell and Mikkey Dee. The band have gone on to release 21 studio albums.
Motorhead received critical acclaim in 1988 when they released their song "Ace Of Spades" this song has been described as the definitive song from the band which features on their album with the same name. In 2009 it was even named as the 10th greatest hard rock song of all time by VH1.
Motorhead are famous for collaborating with a wide range of people, they are most famous in the world of sport for performing the entrance music for wrestler "Triple H" the song is titled "The Game".
Motorhead even go to the lengths of showing appreciation to the various tribute bands they have spawned, with "Fast" Eddie Clarke joining tribute band "Motorheadache" on stage in 2005.
Mehr erfahrenIn Rock & Roll, you don't get to be a performing artist for 40 years or span a staggering five decades, by being 'Johnny come lately'. You need a pioneer, a scene setter and a sound maker. You need to stamp that sound and style firmly on the heads of the youth of your generation, wind up the volume knob with a crowbar and hold it there until the next Millennium!
By 2015 Motorhead will have done exactly that, in every concert hall, rock house and back street dive in every corner of the globe, to millions. A band that still gain popularity forty years after their birth, a band that blurred the lines to the point of acceptance between the Punks and the Rockers of the bygone age and who have deeply entrenched strongholds within the inspirations of many of today's 'new age' metal bands. They are quite literally living legends of Rock N' Roll, they are the band that your parents told you 'would't last five years' and they are the band that attracted this famous quote: "If Motorhead moved in to the house next door, your lawn would die!"
As Motorhead's slogan goes 'Everything louder than everything else' and it is loud, terrifyingly loud! Take your place in the crowd, dim the lights, brace yourself and let the first few chords of Overkill gently caress your ears before tearing your throat out, feel the bassline pound your body like a runaway freight train on a one way ticket to oblivion... STOP, wait, Ace of spades, you know the words, everyone knows the words "that's the way I like it baby, I don't wanna live forever!" and now you're listening to one of rocks most legendary songs, sung by the Grandparents of heavy metal! You are not worthy, but you're there, so embrace it because this freight train will have to grind to a halt one day and you don't want to miss out. So step up to the platform and board a 2 hour ride a aural damnation. Your parents would hate it. But then, their generation had it's chance...
British rockers Motörhead formed 40 years ago and they have achieved a staggering amount over their vast careers. Often described as pioneers of the new wave metal movement, they have been consistently releasing music and touring globally. Now with a large discography and an even larger fan base, the band have formed a momentous live show that matches the reputation of their music.
Condensing the sheer volume of their work is no easy task although they manage to showcase some of their personal best work along with the fan favourites. The whole show is a slick, fast paced experience with a huge lighting display to keep the audience immersed in the rock sounds throughout. There are blistering renditions of 'Shoot You in the Back' and 'Over the Top' with massive guitar instrumentals to keep the crowd jumping and moshing.
The band is pretty transfixed within its musical zone although they do acknowledge the crowds cheers and hype them further before unleashing 'Killed by Death' and 'Ace Of Spades'. Motörhead leaves the stage safe is the knowledge they have clearly demonstrated the reasoning behind their iconic status.
British rockers Motorhead are famous in the UK for their blend of heavy metal, hard rock and rock and roll. After an incredible forty years of performing in large arenas, concert halls, rock houses and shabby back alleys, Motorhead still have legions of die hard fans that would camp outside in the pouring rain just to catch a glimpse of Ian Fraser Kilmister’s (also known simply as Lemmy) infamous head. The creator, lead singer and bassist of the band, Kilmister touched an entire generation with Motorhead’s unique sound, true rock core and with singles such as ‘Ace of Spades’ and ‘King of Kings’. There was not one face in the audience that didn’t break into a smile of ecstasy as the short chord intro for ‘Ace of Spades’ were strung, and then preceded to rock out. Even at their age, Motorhead had no problem in creating mass mosh pits with their hard rock edge and crazy instrumentals. The kings of guitar solos, every musical moment was amazing, proving that the band are still as good as they ever were.
Motorhead was great. They are always great. I've been seeing them since 1984 and its always a great show. Saxon did a great job too. Their bass player needs to calm the fuck down, but they where great. Unfortunately, Crobot was probably the 2nd worst band I've ever seen. The stage antics of these ass-hats was downright embarrassing to watch. Except for the drummer, they jumped, wiggled and gyrated like a bunch of glam metal posers on acid. I'd never seen such a ridiculous bunch of wankers in my life. They need to go back home to Pennsylvania and toss themselves down an abandoned mine shaft. Who the fuck chose THEM to open for Motorhead!
The Show was great, even though it was a bit short (About an hour and 15 minutes). I would definitely give up the on first band (Crobot) and get some extra time from both Saxon and Motorhead. The sounds system was a bit to much at times- so there were more noises then pure sound throughout most of the concert. Overall it was a great show!
21 December 2000, Motörhead did a gig at The Manchester Apollo , Stockport rd ,Ardwick. on my ticket it specifies LEMMY'S 55TH XMAS BIRTHDAY PARTY. Not on the gig list . still got my ticket STRAIGHT PRESENTS MOTÖRHEAD.
I will never forget last nights concert. Motörhead's set was amazing and so loud. I am so happy I was able to attend this show. I have loved them since I was in high school but this was my first time seeing them live.
