MOTORHEAD
-
The
Best
Of
The
best
mistake
Hawkwind
could've
made
was
kick
Lemmy
out
of
the
band.
Had
they
not,
we
may
not
have
had
one
of
our
time's
most
legendary
hard
rock
acts.
While
nowadays
many
a
youngster
wears
a
Motörhead
shirt
(as
with
The
Ramones)
never
having
heard
a
single
crunching
note,
there
are
hordes
that
revere
and
respect
this
band
for
their
contribution
to
Rock
across
four
decades
(often
breaking
the
record
for
being
the
loudest
band).
This
DVD
collection
is
a
good
start
to
give
someone
a
taste
of
what
this
British
force
is
all
about,
steamrolling
audiences
since
the
1970s
with
their
irresistibly
grimey
sound,
mostly
contributed
by
the
voice
and
bass
guitar
of
the
living
legend
that
is
Lemmy.
The
15
video
clips
are
mostly
of
the
performance
variety,
including
Overkill,
Iron
Fist,
Poison,
Motorhead,
Bomber,
and
of
course
the
irresistible
Ace
Of
Spades.
Killed
By
Death
is
the
only
video
with
a
narrative
and
was
featured
on
the
first
Kerrang
Video
Kompilation
in
the
'80s
-
I
remember
how
there
was
only
one
VHS
copy
of
it
at
Ragtime
Records
in
Cape
Town
and
how
my
brother
and
I
went
out
of
our
way
to
make
this
expensive
imported
copy
ours.
Unfortunately
this
release
doesn't
include
songs
from
mammoth
albums
like
Orgazmatron,
but
focuses
more
on
the
early
days.
