God, I love Motorhead. They are one of the best rock/metal bands of all time, and one of my favorite bands as well. Their 1981 classic live album “No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith” was the first Motorhead album that I ever bought, and I just freakin love it, it’s so addicting just like every Motorhead album I’ve listened to. This album showcases the classic lineup of Kilmister/Clarke/Taylor performing their early classic songs from “Ace of Spades”, to “Overkill”, to “Bomber”, and doing it all in true Motorhead fashion: Loud, Fast, Dirty, and IN YOUR FACE! The songs on here are more faster and more heavier live than on the studio albums. Lemmy Kilmister’s vocals are totally awesome, and his bass just makes the floor shake. “Fast” Eddie Clarke’s guitar riffs and solos just makes your hair spin and your head banging happily. “Philthy” Phil Taylor’s drumming is more faster live as well. Please read on for the song list and ratings.
