“PUNKS, SKINHEADS, ALTERNATIVE KIDS, METAL KIDS… F⋆⋆KING EVERYBODY LOVED MOTORHEAD”

Obviously, to a lot of people Ace Of Spades is the definitive Motörhead album. For me it was more the culmination of a journey that started two albums earlier, with Overkill and Bomber.

I still remember the first time I heard . It was 1979, I was fifteen, and I was kind of fiddling with drums. In this record store in Copenhagen they would let you listen, the title track, when those double bass drums started I’d never heard anything like that. It was such a definitive moment when I think back on my life, the impact that album had on me. Not just musically, but the lifestyle that Motörhead represented, the spirit, the attitude, the aesthetic.
