\"Motorhead<\/a>I bought Mot\u00f6rhead’s No Remorse<\/em> because it had been some time since i bought anything that had the two dots over a vowel.\u00a0 Actually, we discovered Mot\u00f6rhead<\/em> on\u00a0The Young Ones\u00a0<\/em>playing Ace Of Spades<\/em> and it wasn’t long after that we saw a video for Killed By Death<\/em> on MTV. I had to investigate.<\/p>\n

When plunging to unknown territory like this I find that it is usually\u00a0a safe bet to try the Greatest Hits<\/em> album first. Then work outward from there. Find the songs you like best on the Greatest Hits album then find the album with\u00a0your favorite songs on it. It never got that far with Mot\u00f6rhead.\u00a0<\/em>\u00a0No Remorse is the only Mot\u00f6rhead\u00a0<\/em>I’ve ever owned.<\/p>\n

I think that it was more of a timing issue rather than an indictment of Mot\u00f6rhead.\u00a0 No Remorse<\/em> has some really good\u00a0hard driving stuff that I’m quite fond of but overall, I think my interest in Metal was\u00a0on the way out.\u00a0 Looking at my preliminary list, there are only a handful of albums left in\u00a0The Metal Years.Aric and I wanted to be where the girls were and the girls were definately not where Lemmy Kilminster and Mot\u00f6rhead were. I saw Lemmy on the Tonight Show with Jay Leno once. Jay asked “What kind of name is Lemmy anyway?” To which Lemmy replied “A f*cking stupid name.”<\/p>\n

No Remorse<\/em> was good enough for me to buy twice. I replaced my vinyl with CD eventually and was disappointed to find that the CD omitted the Mot\u00f6rhead cover of Louie, Louie.\u00a0 <\/em>Yeah,\u00a0THAT Louie, Louie. It was another of those rare gems that would find its way to\u00a0my party tapes.\u00a0 The movie Animal House<\/em> had turned Louie, Louie<\/em> into a drunken sing-along song. The very interesting thing about Mot\u00f6rhead’s <\/em>version was that you could understand every single word. This was a double dose of contradiction.\u00a0First, in every other version of Louie, Louie that I’ve heard, you can’t understand half of what they are saying. Second, in every\u00a0other Mot\u00f6rhead<\/em> song I’ve heard you can’t understand half of\u00a0what they are saying. So mathematically, they cancel each other out and you can understand all of it. Understand?<\/p>\n
