With the expanded content on these four discs you can truly immerse yourself in the experience like never before, especially in headphones and the sound and fury assaults you. Whilst rock was to see a huge surge of live albums released in the 70’s, nothing since the MC5’s ‘Kick Out The Jams’ outing in 1969 had sounded just so electric and urgent, reflecting the thrill of a live show. There was genuinely no-one who could come close, Motorhead’s brand of souped-up, knuckleduster and biker gang rock ‘n’ roll an adrenaline and amphetamine fuelled assault on the senses that brought in metalheads and punks in equal measure. The visceral power of the band was overwhelming at the shows, the volume brutal and the mix of sweat and beer heady as anyone who was fortunate enough to catch them live at the time could testify. Along with the original album in expanded form, you also get complete shows from the Newcastle and Leeds dates, along with tracks from the Newcastle soundcheck and it all adds up to an immersive aural experience that is second to none. Whilst an expanded two disc issue of the album was released in 2001, this new edition covers four CDs and contains a mammoth seventy-one tracks from the 1980 ‘Short Sharp Pain In The Neck’ tour, famously none of them being at Hammersmith itself. This though was the album that truly cemented their place in the rock pantheon, the apex of the work they’d done to that point and a blazing record of what the band were capable of in the live setting. From their self-titled debut, through to the unbeatable run of ‘Overkill’, ‘Bomber’ and ‘Ace Of Spades’ the band had a skyrocketing profile, the latter piercing the top five in the album charts. Motorhead were legends, even before this most raw and brutal live album was released. 1 day ago Melodic metal band Abandon All returns with new material after the debut album released this spring.1 day ago FLOYA announce debut album & release video for new single ‘Drift’.1 day ago Ferocious Dog announce brand new studio album ‘Kleptocracy’ out 17th May 2024 & 14 date UK headline tour.1 day ago Pre-Orders for ALESTORM’s New EP, Voyage of the Dead Marauder, Begin Today!.10 hours ago SYLOSIS – announce UK & Ireland headline tour for April 2024.10 hours ago Escuela Grind reveal single with Barney Greenway (Napalm Death).9 hours ago Album Review: Therion – Leviathan III.9 hours ago BEYOND THE BLACK – release new piano version of ‘Wide Awake’. 8 hours ago Gig Review : Bryan Adams: Live at the Royal Albert Hall – Album and DVD/Blu-Ray.8 hours ago Gig Review : DANKO JONES: SHAKE YOUR CITY TOUR RESCUE ROOMS, NOTTINGHAM.4 hours ago ANTHRAX’s “Inside Out” Re-Imagined By MAMMOTHOR For Its 25th Anniversary.3 hours ago REVOLUTION SAINTS Announce New Album ‘Against the Winds’ Set for Release on February 9, 2024.
