Classic Albums - Motorhead: Ace of Spades

This documentary is far more about the band and the characters that made up the group than the Ace of Spades album. It starts off with Lemmy since he was in the music game for quite some time and then about how the band partied, toured, had conflicts with each other, their roadcrew, etc. The album comes second to all that. That doesn’t mean there’s not a lot of music because there is. Drummer Phil Taylor is a real jokester and had me chuckling throughout.

I wasn't sure what to expect and was very pleasantly surprised. They did extensive interviews with the 3 members and they were great interviews. Most of the interview with Philthy he was sitting with Lemmy (happy to see there's no hard feelings). Lemmy is very entertianing but Philthy is a riot. Great interviews with Fast Eddie was well. Love the parts where they play the songs on their respective instruments. Very entertaining. Worth every penny I paid for it

In a simple way, in this DVD you'll see:A lot of interviews with original line up members (Fast Eddie, Phil Taylor and obviously Lemmy) talking about how they released Ace of Spades in datails like the picture that appears as cover, why Lemmy was bumped from Hawkwind and other stuff.Something great is when they played (with help of tech) the chase is better than the catch, it is going to kick your ass.If you want a live concert buy 25th still alive & boneshaker DVD, but if you want to know more about the band and very good details buy this.

I bought this because I'm a huge motorhead fan i really enjoy seeing old interviews with the band and all but to be honest i was not very impressed with the product. Its not Amazons fault its just i was hoping to see howcthey came up with the songs and maybe understand a little bit more on how they madecthe album. Instead all i got was discussion on hawk wind and jimmy Hendrix which is old news to me.. i still love motorhead and happy i got more interviews but this isn't what its supposed to be..

I never even heard of Motorhead until the late 1980's and didn't really listen to them until 1996. But when I did, it was one of the most physically exciting musical experiences of my life, and my introduction to the group was 'Ace of Spades.' I adore the 'Classic Albums' series and was like a pig in...mud getting to see the band discuss their experiences surrounding the making of the album, as well as do a little catch-up on where they came from and how they became a classic Motorhead line-up.

This is just great... the three great members of Motorhead, playing and discussing their epic album "Ace Of Spades" ......demonstrating on their instruments some of the tunes... fabulous! I love this series and have yet to view any that aren't excellent... HIGHLY recommended!

Video is great, but it took awhile to get

Awesome dvd! If you like Motörhead you will love this.

A good slice of rock nostalgia.I like the music of later Motörhead a little more, but these guys had the coolest names. The only disappointment was that Fast Eddie wasn't able to be/play in the same studio as Lemmy and Philthy Animal.

this is my favourite motorhead documentary ever. fantastic to see the lemmy & philthy jamming-one of my favourite rhythm sections!!!! the classic motorhead line up talking about one the best albums ever. also has great features from Dave Brock, Mick Farren & The Legendary Tommy Vance. True music by true people.

I love Motörhead, and this DVD gives a great insight to the inner workings of the band during the 'Golden Years' and the creation of one of Rock n' Rolls greatest albums! All the interviews are funny & compelling and include many other legendary musicians, with loads of awesome extra features!

The best

Some funny moments on the documentary and the bonus interviews are even betterAll three of this Motörhead line up are great musicians and funny blokes10/10
