"FUCK PUNK, FUCK METAL, FUCK GENRES, AND FUCK YOU! THIS WAS THE COOLEST BAND EVER."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on an assorted collection of shots from MOTÖRHEAD's "Ace of Spades" LP photosession (includes press cuttings, tour/promo adverts, programmes, & more!), c. 1980. 📸: Allan Ballard. R.I.P. Motörmasters!

""Ace of Spades" was the album that finally sealed MOTÖRHEAD's reputation as the loudest and heaviest band in the world. Fuck punk, fuck metal, fuck genres, and fuck you! This was the coolest band ever. Vic Maile at the production helm used an expert ear to translate the monstrous live sound and feel of the band to vinyl. Continuing the Western fascination explored sporadically on "BOMBER," Kilmister, Clarke, and Taylor stood on sand dunes (in a Barnet, London sandstone quarry!) dressed as cowboys brandishing bullet belts and wearing snarls that stretched from Texas to Tamworth on the "ACE OF SPADES" sleeve."

The Vinyl of the Day is ‘Ace of Spades’ by Motorhead, 1980. The fourth studio album by the band, it was their debut release in the U.S. Motorhead’s ferocious, loud proto-thrash sound appealed equally to punks and heavy metal fans, but in 1979 ‘Sounds’ magazine writer Geoff Barton coined the term "New Wave Of British Heavy Metal" (NWOBHM, not to be confused with NKOTB. At all. Seriously.) to classify a slew of newer bands such as Iron Maiden, Def Leppard, and Saxon. Motörhead — a band that resented being labeled anything other than rock 'n' roll — was placed in this new genre, which would go on to influence the emerging thrash movement that would include bands like Metallica and Megadeth.

In the 2011 book Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead, Joel McIver quotes vocalist and bassist Lemmy:

"..I like Iron Maiden and Saxon out of the new mob, and that's about it, really...We were too late for the first metal movement and early for the next one...Motörhead don't fit into any category, really. We're not straight heavy metal, because we're a rock 'n' roll band, which no-one knows how to market anymore.."

Which is absolutely true - I’ve always put Motorhead’s sound as leaning way more punk (but with way more hair) than what I grew to know as ‘heavy metal’, which I always categorized as heavy and kind of plodding. But this album and this band were influential to both hard core punks and metalheads alike. It's fast, punishing and not unlike white-lining it at 100 miles an hour on your Harley. Subtle this ain’t, just balls out rock and roll and one of the finest metal records ever made.

"Aces of Spades" is an essential, legendary punk/thrash/speed metal classic. It's full of fast, meaty riffs, great solos, toe-tapping drums, and catchy, gruff vocals. Almost every song on here (especially the title track, "Love Me Like a Reptile," and "We Are The Road Crew") is very catchy. And the album opening title track, which has a speedy, groove-y main riff, is world renowned. Other highlights include the wah-wah solo and shout-along refrain on "Fire, Fire," "Jailbait," "Dance" (which has a pair of tasty guitar solos), the X-rated "The Chase Is Better Than The Catch," and the famous, rhythmic, nearly dance-able "Please Don't Touch." All in all, if you're looking for great, groove-y, contagious and exciting speed metal, Motorhead "aces" it.

And of course, the whole thing is powered by the genius of the legendary Lemmy Kilmister. A true character, bassist Lemmy was the ultimate rock 'n' roll badazz. He digs his music raw, dirty, obnoxious, and driven, and so should you. His witty lyrics, alcohol-soaked yell, and swagger totally define this and other Motorhead albums. And his bass playing--sloppy, but fast and killer. Instead of just plucking away in the lower register, he uses it like a second guitar. Awesome. Fast Eddie's guitar playing is simple yet effective and energetic, and "Philthy" Phil Taylor may be one of the most underrated rock & roll drummers ever--he knows exactly what to hit and when to hit it, and keeps the tempo at appropriate levels of thrash 'n' burn. Genius, and easily the best Motorhead lineup.

At our church (which represents the TRUE FAITH) we burnt this band in effigy. Most of us wanted to abduct and actually burn the real musicians, but Father insisted that we couldn't. He said that the libruls in government passed laws making it illegal to burn sinners alive until they are dead and gone and can't corrupt our children anymore. He said we would probably get in a lot of trouble, maybe even end up in jail. I hate government!!!!! We've got to get it out of our lives!!!! This is an evil, bad awful band. They are a mockery of all that is good and righteous. I hate them i hate them. but I’ve still got to admit that this album rocks, and rocks hard, and that against my better judgement I really enjoy it. 

AllMusic Review by Jason Birchmeier

With the 1980 release of Ace of Spades, Motörhead had their anthem of anthems -- that is, the title track -- the one trademark song that would summarize everything that made this early incarnation of the band so legendary, a song that would be blasted by legions of metalheads for generations on end. It's a legendary song, for sure, all two minutes and 49 bracing seconds of it. And the album of the same name is legendary as well, among Motörhead's all-time best, often considered their single best, in fact, along with Overkill. Ace of Spades was Motörhead's third great album in a row, following the 1979 releases of Overkill and Bomber, respectively. Those two albums have a lot in common with Ace of Spaces. The classic lineup -- Lemmy (bass and vocals), "Fast" Eddie Clarke (guitar), and "Philthy Animal" Taylor(drums) -- is still in place and sounding as alive and crazed as ever. The album is still rock-solid, boasting several superlative standouts. Actually, besides the especially high number of standouts on Ace of Spades -- at least relative to Bomber, which wasn't quite as strong overall as Overkill had been -- the only key difference between this 1980 album and its two 1979 predecessors is the producer, in this case Vic Maile. The result of his work isn't all that different from that of Jimmy Miller, the longtime Rolling Stones producer who had worked on Overkill and Bomber, but it's enough to give Ace of Spades a feeling distinct from its two very similar-sounding predecessors. This singular sound (still loud and in your face, rest assured), along with the exceptionally strong songwriting and the legendary stature of the title track, makes Ace of Spades the ideal Motörhead album if one were to choose one and only one studio album. It's highly debatable whether Ace of Spades is tops over the breakthrough Overkill, as the latter is more landmark because of its earlier release, and is somewhat rougher around the edges, too. Either way, Ace of Spades rightly deserves its legacy as a classic. There's no debating that.

Motorhead “Ace of Spades” 1980, Limited Christmas edition 12″ single, Bronze Records. Really the perfect spin for getting into the 2020 holiday mood #fuck2020. The regular single edition of “Ace of Spades” was released in October 1980; it went to #15 in the UK in ‘80 and then hit #13 in 2015 after Lemmy’s death. It is the epitome of speed metal and it’s regularly listed as one of the greatest songs ever. The b-side is another shredder, “Dirty Love,” which did not appear on the original edition of the LP Ace of Spades but was included on a 1996 CD reissue

I picked up Frankie Miller...That's Who! , which has all the albums he recorded for Chrysalis between 1973 to 1980. I've known The Rock for a few years, but had yet to hear anything else from Miller until now. He's got some good stuff.

And Motorhead's Ace of Spades has a different track listing! Mercury reordered the tracks for the American edition, which put a new spin on an album I've enjoyed for nearly 20 years. "The Chase is Better Than The Catch" kicks off this classic LP.

Also...cool back cover photo.

"MOTÖRHEAD WAS A SPECIAL TIME FOR ME. I MEAN, WE WERE LIKE BROTHERS. WE WENT THROUGH SO MUCH SHIT TOGETHER."

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a group portrait of English rock and roll band MOTÖRHEAD during the band's "Overkill" era, c. spring 1979. 📸: Motorcycle Irene, Kevin Cummins, Fin Costello??

OVERVIEW: "One Saturday well before noon in the winter of 1976, the guitarist, irritable and cranky, got up to see who had disturbed his rest. Had he known who was waiting for him on the other side, his mood would have brightened considerably.

“There’s a knock at my door, and I say, "What the fuck is this?"" recalls Clarke. “And so I go to the front door, and Lemmy [Kilmister] is standing there, and he’s got a bullet belt in one hand and a leather jacket in the other. And he hands them to me and he says, "You’ve got the gig.""

Clarke was as surprised as anybody to hear those words come out of Lemmy’s mutton-chop framed mouth. Just like that, he’d been hired to play alongside Larry Wallis as a second guitar slinger for MOTÖRHEAD, then a dirty, brash wild bunch of rock and roll outlaws dead set on building the fastest, loudest chopper of grimy, rumbling, vice-ridden proto-thrash metal nastiness that anyone had ever seen, and nobody would dare categorize it as street-legal. Before Clarke could recover from the shock, however, Lemmy was gone.

“And then he turns around and walks off (laughs),” said Clarke. “So I’m standing there in me underpants holding a bullet belt with this leather jacket, and I just say, "Oh, fuking great!" I mean, I really was over the moon."

A week earlier, Clarke’s mood wasn’t so elevated. His audition for these holy sonic terrors had ended rather unceremoniously with him slipping out the door before things got worse.

“I did the audition with them,” remembers Clarke. “And Larry came down, because Larry, who was in the Pink Fairies, was the guitarist then. And he wasn’t getting on with anybody. He didn’t even talk to me. He just came in, plugged in and played the same song for half an hour. And I said, ‘Oh, bloody hell. I haven’t got this gig, have I?’ And he and Lemmy went outside and they were having words, and it’s all getting a bit tense. So I packed up me guitar and I went home, and I left Phil [“Philthy Animal” Taylor, the band’s drummer] and them there to play on. I paid the bill on the way out, though (laughs) for the rehearsal. And then I didn’t hear anything.”

That is until Lemmy showed up on his doorstep. Soon after, Wallis would leave, having rejoined a reunited Pink Fairies lineup that intended to get back to touring. All that remained then was Lemmy, “Fast” Eddie and “Philthy Animal” – the classic Motorhead lineup that would shake the earth from 1977 through 1982 with rumbling, fire-breathing touchstone LPs "Motörhead" (1977), "Overkill" (1979), "Bomber" (1979), "Ace of Spades" (1980), "No Sleep ‘til Hammersmith" (1981, a live album that reached #1 on the U.K. album charts) and "Iron Fist" (1982), the threesome’s swan song.

“Those were great days, man. They were great. I mean, there were some tough times, obviously. MOTÖRHEAD was a special time for me. I mean, we were like brothers. We went through so much shit together,” said Clarke."

96) BATTALION OF SAINTS „Death - R - Us” CD Taang! Records 1995 - dokument zawierający oryginalne nagrania Battalion Of Saints: debiutancki maksisingiel “Fighting Boys” (1982) i album “Second Coming” (1984) - wydane na winylu we własnej oficynie Nutrons, a także dwa nowe nagrania z 1995 roku – „Hell’s Around The Next Corner” i „Thru With You” oraz bonusowe dwa numery znane wcześniej tylko ze składanek. Z wczesnej dyskografii brak tu tylko singla „Second Coming” (1983) wydanego nieopatrznie dla Mystic. Założony w 1981 roku w San Diego Battalion Of Saints to klasycy amerykańskiego hardcore i crossover, a w swych początkach mocno inspirowani drugą falą brytyjskiego punk rock spod znaku Discharge i G.B.H., a także muzyką metalową (grali m.in. cover Motorhead „Ace Of Spades”). Trzon zespołu stanowili: George Anthony (śpiew) i Chris Smith (gitara) – obaj grający wcześniej w formacji Neutrons oraz Dennis Frame (bass) i Ted Olson (perkusja). Po wydaniu świetnego LP „Second Coming” i trasie po USA z zespołu odszedł Smith - autor większości muzyki – i dołączył do formacji Kraut. Od tego momentu działalność Battalion Of Saints gwałtownie się załamała i nabrała tragicznego charakteru. Smith wkrótce zmarł w nie wyjaśnionych do końca okolicznościach (prawdopodobnie będąc pod wpływem narkotyków poślizgnął się w łazience i rozbił głowę), zaraz po nim zmarli też nowi członkowie ekipy Battalion Of Saints – Dave Astor (samobójstwo), Donny Diaz (AIDS), a także basista Berry Farwell (?). Zespół zyskujący powoli uznanie nagle więc przestał istnieć w 1985 roku. George Anthony reaktywował później dwukrotnie kapelę jako Battalion Of Saints A.D. z nowymi ludźmi (m.in. Terry ‘Bones’ Roberts ex-Discharge, Broken Bones), a w 1996 ukazał się też nowy album „Cuts”, a w 2015 roku nowy singiel „Battalion Of Saints”.
