Trash Theory
Motorhead is one of the greatest hard rock and metal band. Lemmy Kilmister is arguably one of the most prolific characters who exuded attitude while a keen sense of how blur the lines in genres within the rock universe that still stays true. This resilience against staying in one lane while keeping a steady helped Lemmy grow out the psychedelic rock outfit Hawkwind and launched his legendary trio, Motorohead.
In this this must-watch Trash Theory, Motorhead’s unique status as the band that united the divisions between metal and punk with their endless swagger:
In the 70s, there was metal – Black Sabbath, Led Zeppelin, Deep Purple. And then there was punk, Sex Pistols, The Clash, The Damned. Two separate entities that rarely if ever mixed. However a band both subcultures could agree on was Motörhead. Led by the hoarse rumble of Lemmy, with their first three albums they cemented their place as one of the loudest bands Britain has ever produced. But the lead single from their fourth album proved they could be metal heavy, mangle it with a punk attitude and still be able to crossover to the pop charts. This is New British Canon and this is the story of “Ace of Spades.”
