THE REVIEW
Lemmy Kilminster is a big womanizer, a filthy racist, and a brazen chauvinist. This "gentleman" divides his interests between a good screw and a colossal booze-up. But this good-for-nothing, who showers at paycheck intervals, is above all the undisputed leader of the band that redefined hard rock based on that much-hated and criticized heavy metal.
Their music is crass and steamroller-like, and their rough sound is a favorite among bikers worldwide.
Unreliable elements, who spend entire days among slot machines, prostitutes, alcohol, and wild music! And it's precisely their music that inspires, providing the right boost; fans revel at the mere thought of seeing them perform live because they know what to expect. They know that for almost thirty years, the name Motorhead has been an institution of the dirtiest and most brutal hard rock-metal!
This album is part of the essential discography of the London-based band, now more committed to smashing stages rather than worrying about new albums. The album style is reminiscent of the early days (1980) before the departures of Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor. The sounds are always disheveled, and Lemmy’s growls are accompanied by energetic and compelling rhythms. His Rickenbacker travels wild and instinctive, like a beast in the wild in search of freedom. Guitar solos are concise and fast, typical of rock 'n' roll, and the melodies always break through powerfully! The start, with the blues-rock title track, is demonic, and the rest of the album is pure adrenaline with no stops.
Motorhead are dirty beasts, they stink, they are barbaric and crude. They are bad guys who, for better or worse, have set an example for many great metal bands, including Metallica. They are old drunks who nonetheless can still "move" people, continuing to evoke the dirtiest side of the generation from 30 years ago. Metalheads, punks, hippies, bikers: all see in these big men with leather jackets, boots, and mustaches, a cult. A cult that, despite the passing of time, will always remain the same: the unstoppable cult of rocking out with Motorhead music!!
“We are Motörhead and we’re gonna kick your ass!”

"Ace Of Spades" is probably the most famous and well-known album by that hellish machine called Motorhead.
‘...the dirtiest, meanest, toughest and leanest Motoralbum ever...’
By Mammuth
As soon as I heard this album, I loved it: the riffs are very hard, and very NWOBHM.
The title track, 'Ace Of Spades', starts with a bass riff that is now very famous and the other instruments join in.

Like an authentic steamroller, the three churn out note after note in the rhythm of Hard Rock, Blues, and a hint of Punk.
This masterpiece of an album represents the absolute creative peak of this group which would never be nearly matched by any subsequent work.
