Review: Motörhead – Live At Montreux Jazz Festival ’07 BMG (June 16th, 2023) Reviewer: Colm Banville Motörhead at a jazz festival? I hear you cry! But fear not, it ain’t jazz they’re playing on this, their latest opus, but their own louder-than-everyone-else material from way back when. ”Here’s a bit of jazz for you”, lead […]

Once upon a time the loudest, nastiest, speed-freaked trio in the land – the mighty Motörhead – decided that they needed an intro-film to come on stage to, so they could tour their brand-new album ‘Iron Fist‘. Not for them some gentle promo video, for this was Motörhead in 1982 comprising the seminal three amigos line-up of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor. What they produced has been buried in the mists of time, confined to dodgy bootleg […]
The time-honoured phrase “Follow that!” rang with deafening resonance when Motörhead were faced with having to follow a rock milestone (‘Ace Of Spades‘), a number one album (‘No Sleep Till Hammersmith‘) and their bomber – the most spectacular stage prop rock had ever seen. As the last shout from the three amigos line-up of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Phil ‘Philthy Animal’ Taylor, ‘Iron Fist‘ was rudely dismissed by some ignorant loud-mouth hap’orths as being ‘less’, and has always suffered slightly from […]
Motörhead… a life force, an energy, an attitude and the loudest, meanest, dirtiest music to smash the 20th and 21st centuries. With a bastard sound comprising an unholy synergy of rock, punk and heavy metal, Motörhead come coated in relentless, ear-curdling power. They were life-changing for millions. Leading the charge for their entire 40 year […]

Upon its release in 1980, the ‘Ace Of Spades‘ album was nothing short of a gamechanger for all forms of hard rock. Like lightning in a bottle, it perfectly captured everything great about hard rock, heavy metal, and punk, amped it all up to 11, and came racing out of the gates at what felt […]
