Motörhead's overwhelmingly loud and fast style of heavy metal was groundbreaking in the late 70s and though Lemmy's roots were in the progressive space rock band Hawkwind he chose to amplify the heavy biker rock elements with the speed of punk when he formed Motörhead. They weren't punk, forming before the Sex Pistols, but they were just as anarchic and they were the first metal band to harness punk energy in their frenzied wall of sound. 'Ace of Spades' was the album that sealed Motörhead's reputation as the loudest and heaviest band in the world.; ; This program looks at the classic tracks from the album through interviews with all band members from this their classic line up. Lemmy, Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor and 'Fast' Eddie Clarke discuss life in the feisty and debauched world of Motörhead and the band play some of their legendary tracks especially for the DVD.; ; The program is illustrated with archive footage and interviews with some of the biggest names in rock including Lars Ulrich of Metallica and Slash. A true Classic Album.
