MY FAVORITE MOTORHEAD ALBUM OF ALL TIME!!!, June 27, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: No Sleep at All (Audio CD)
I bought this one on tape when I was about 14 years old. It made me a Motorhead fan instantly. Here I am now, 10 years later, still a thriving Motorhead fan. I'm not usually a fan of live albums, but this one is special. Motorhead is a great band to see and hear live (and I HAVE SEEN AND HEARD THEM LIVE.) If you are a Motorhead fan at all, than you should definitely have this one in your collection.

Spoken Word, February 26, 1999
By A Customer
This review is from: No Sleep at All (Audio CD)
Reviewing live albums is a bit dishonest. Afterall, a review of a live performance should be of a live performance, and I wasn't there. That said, I have heard the RECORDING of the performance and here's what I tell you. The key to enjoying this record is to listen around the music. Lemmy's wisecracking delivers a personalized performance to legions of head-bong-ers strewn about incense-soaked, black-lit, end-of-the-hall dormrooms on the eastern seaboard. (Speaking of black light, listening to No Sleep conjurs images of leatherbound and denim-clad Finnish teenagers stagediving through a thick, midnight blue mirrorball haze of the best Turkish blondesmoke... Uh, that didn't come out quite right). Between sneering his lyrics, Lemmy manages to cough up such petulant aphorisms as: "Everybody born and everybody dies. And we shoulda died a long time ago. But we didn't... we're still here"; "This next song was a big hit for us! Ha, yeah. I've got 10,000 copies at my house"; "it's too f*cking hot in this frozen country"; and my favorite - "This song is new song that we have NEVER played in Finland before. Isn't that exciting! Yes, it is! No, it isn't. Well I don't give a f*ck, we're gonna play it anyway." I have actually put this disc on simply to hear the verbage between songs, and that's something you don't get with Frampton Comes Alive! You may be thinking "Hey, bub - whaddabout da music?" Well, like I said, I wasn't at this show, but it sounds like a characteristically high-energy, volume=11 effort. Production is good, songs are played faithfully to studio cuts, and the set list checks out. But it's the spoken word that sets this record off.
