“I was first intrigued to check out Motörhead because the guys from G.B.H. were in a few photos wearing Motörhead t-shirts with the bandâs great âsnaggletoothâ logo. âAce of Spadesâ is the first Motörhead song I heard, and I didnât know how to categorize it â punk, metal, hard rock?âŠbut I knew it sounded AWESOME! The lyric âyou know I was born to lose, and gamblinâs for fools, but thatâs the way I like it, baby⊠I donât wanna live forever!â Is an outlaw manifesto. There are tons of other great Motörhead albums and songs⊠âOverkill,â âBomber,â âNo Class,â âToo Late Too Late,â âDamage Case,â and âEmergency,â but the band always played âAce of Spadesâ as their encore.
I saw Motörhead several times over the years, and they ALWAYS crushed it and were the loudest band Iâve ever seen! The band recorded and toured for 40 years, and I canât think of a more consistent and reliable musical institution than Motörhead. Motörheadâs founder, singer, bassist, and songwriter, Lemmy Kilmister, is himself as iconic as Motörheadâs âsnaggletoothâ logo. Lemmy stayed true to the hard-rocking, hard-living lifestyle with a handlebar mustache, cowboy boots, denim, and leather as his perpetual battle uniform to the bitter end. Even though Lemmy looked 50 when he was 30, he never seemed to age a day after that.
It was a shock when Lemmy unexpectedly died of cancer⊠I was convinced that hard rock as a devout religion had made Lemmy immortal! Lemmy may be gone, but the songs and the iconic Motörhead logo live on. Check it out!” âShepard
