Motörhead - No Remorse

Where It All Began With Me - 100%

corviderrant, March 23rd, 2004

I remember meeting a fellow in my high school in the fall of 1983, who was the first real headbanger I'd ever met at the time. he was the first fan of this band I'd ever met also, and after hanging out with him for a while, being the impressionable geek I was at the time, I inevitably ended up wanting to enmulate him. So one day, I took my entire allowance to the record store and dropped it all on ths original leather sleeve version of this double album--an unheard of thing for me back then. Rushing home, I ripped off the plastic wrap, threw it on my turntable...and was completely devastated. I had never heard a bass guitar sound that mean and nasty before, and it made my jaw hang in disbelief! From that point onward, after my initial dabblings into the hard rock realm, like Quiet Riot, WASP, and Motley Crue, as well as Iron Maiden, I knew what I wanted from music and it was MORE of this wildly fast, manic buzz bomb roar! My descent into the realms of real metal began with Motorhead on that very day, and I remember it most fondly--like a guy remembers losing his virginity.

This is the most crucial Motorhead ever, because for newbies it will do just what it did for me--help them understand how long 'Head have been around and just how extensive their recorded legacy is. Not to mention it will serve as a gateway for heavier and better music as opposed to what kids listen to these days. Not to mention it will hip them to some of the best metal music ever recorded. EVER. Lemmy is GOD, and the more folks understand that, the better! You need this album, just as you need...hell, ANY Motorhead, really. Preferably the older stuff, of course...
