Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (LP)
Motorhead - Ace Of Spades (LP)
Ace Of Spades werd voor het eerst uitgebracht in 1980 en is het meest succesvolle album van de groep uit Londen. Het is hun vijfde studio album en hun eerste album dat werd uitgebracht in de Verenigde Staten. Het titelnummer is meteen ook hun meest bekende single. Lemmy had net zoals veel andere artiesten een haat liefde verhouding met het nummer. In zijn biografie zei hij het volgende daarover: "I used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice – when it comes to that sort of thing, I'm more into the slot machines actually, but you can't really sing about spinning fruit, and the wheels coming down. Most of the song's just poker, really - 'I know you've got to see me, read 'em and weep, Dead man's hand again, aces and eights' - that was Wild Bill Hickock's hand when he got shot. To be honest, although "Ace of Spades" is a good song, I'm sick to death of it now. Two decades on, when people think of Motörhead, they think "Ace of Spades." We didn't become fossilised after that record, you know. We've had quite a few good releases since then. But the fans want to hear it so we still play it every night. For myself, I've had enough of that song."
Een klassieker!
