Happy 45th Anniversary to Motörhead's - Ace of Spades

Happy 45th Anniversary to Motörhead's Ace of Spades.

The pinnacle of the band's career....

For fans, nothing needs to be said. For newcomers here is where you stast and what you need in your life. Ace of Spades gives you that mix of metal, punk and rock that made Motörhead unique. Played with speed and aggression, Lemmy growls, Eddie Clarke riffed and Phil Taylor banged away with power. 

There are some fun tales on the Wikipedia page about the recording of the record and the album even had an episode on the old Classic Albums series.  

On a personal note, this is the only Motörhead RtBE needs, it scratches the itch thoroughly. "Love Me Like A Reptile", "Jailbait" and "The Chase Is Better Than the Catch" are all pure Lemmy sleaze, "Fast and Loose" rumbles and who can deny the backbone of it all "(We Are) The Road Crew".

The opening title track is one of the best rock tunes ever with screaming sounds, angry growls and live fast die young attitude. What else can you say about the classic? 

On Ace of Spades 45th Anniversary play it loud. Here are a few tunes to get you started.
