Editorial Reviews

No Sleep 'til Hammersmith was to the then-nascent speed-metal/hardcore movement what Lynyrd Skynyrd's One More from the Road was to Southern rock. Lemmy Kilmister, Philthy Phil Taylor, and Fast Eddie Clarke roar from the gate with their signature tune, "Ace of Spades"; it's a suitable intro to the subsequent onslaught of energy, volume, attitude, and sincerity. The speed, power, and fury of early-'80s Motörhead influenced everyone from the Misfits to Metallica. Hammersmith stands as their Holy Grail and, like Skynyrd's first live salvo, it's a signpost for an entire subgenre of music. This version of the concert classic includes three bonus tracks--"Over the Top," an alternate version of "Capricorn," and a scorched-earth run-through of "Train Kept-a-Rollin." --Andrew Bartlett

This review is from: No Sleep Til Hammersmith (Audio CD)

Well if you or anyone of believe that bands like Korn, papa roach or limp bizkit are metal bands........YOU'RE WRONG....
Yes this guys are rock'n'roll.....they are ugly, bad and dirty, and that's what rock is about...
Lemmy & company delivers here a set of classics with an incredible fury, belive me, no other band make a guitar, a bass and a drum kit sound this aggresive. their music is LOUD! and fast.
If you want to know where did all the metal started you shouldn't miss this record, as well as his studio predecesor 'Ace Of Spades'......get it, you won't be sorry

This is probably the best live performance that I have ever heard, maybe one of the best metal preformances ever. This is why Motorhead is considered the godfathers of heavy metal! Intense, blistering, fast, and hard, you've never heard anything like this before!

5.0 out of 5 stars Unmatched greatest rock album of all time, February 16, 2000

This review is from: No Sleep Til Hammersmith (Audio CD)

It cannot get anymore brutal than this. No Sleep smells madness, amphetamines and bestiality. Where most of the heavy metal bands are just cartoons, Motorhead is the real thing. Check out Bomber and Motorhead the two final tracks, nothing so loud has ever been recorded since or will be. This record is absolutely scary. Hail !
