Classic Albums - Motorhead: Ace of Spades

In 1980, MOTORHEAD released their fourth album Ace Of Spades. Loud, fast and overwhelmingly heavy, Ace of Spades would propel MOTORHEAD into the ranks of Heavy Metal's elite and 25 years later is still considered a benchmark album in its genre.

MOTORHEAD - Ace Of Spades Classic Album sees Lemmy, "Fast" Eddie Clarke and Philip "Philthy Animal" Taylor talk candidly about the writing and recording of the album and the goings on inside the MOTORHEAD camp at the time. Watch "Fast" Eddie as he demonstrates how the riff for Ace Of Spades came about, and see the trio (with the help of modern technology) together on the same stage once again. Also featured are exclusive interviews with the likes of Slash (Guns & Roses, Velvet Revolver), Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Dave Brock (Hawkwind), and many more.

At the front of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal is MOTORHEAD. Formed in 1975 by former Hawkwind bassist Lemmy Kilmister, the band endured several lineup changes in its early years, and the revolving door lineup began again, with Lemmy continuing to be the driving force of MOTORHEAD.

A very nice intro to Motorhead

I never even heard of Motorhead until the late 1980's and didn't really listen to them until 1996. But when I did, it was one of the most physically exciting musical experiences of my life, and my introduction to the group was 'Ace of Spades.' I adore the 'Classic Albums' series and was like a...

Not Very Impressed

I found this to be one of the weakest of the 'Classic Albums' series. It seems to focus on Phil's unfunny and unrelated jabberings, with really very little info as to how the album itself was created. Considering the point of this series is to tell the story behind the making of the album, this...

Check out Philthy's neck!

Philthy Animal shows viewers the back of his neck on this DVD. Why is that so great you ask? Well he claims it is a calcium deposit, but it looks like he's growing a second head!Seriously though, this DVD is great because it talks about the classic album Ace of Spades, Motorhead's fourth studio...

All the Aces!

This DVD is an absolute must-have for Motorhead fans, and fans of hard rock/metal in general. The Classic Albums series has produced some real top-notch stuff, and this is a welcome addition. Focusing on just the one album and the band's history to that point, we get a tour through the Days of...
