 Rating: - Iron FistMotorhead-Iron Fist **** Iron Fist is one of Motorheads most underrated albums, especially of their early period with Philthy Phil and Fast Eddie Clarke. While not the strongest album, it is far from being a weak album. It was Iron Fist that was Lemmy Kilmisters ode to everything he loved and everything he hated, and had it not been for the weak production courtesy of Clarke, the album would have been a classic. The guitars get lost in places, and the drums often feel dull, but Motorhead being the band that is so loud if they moved next door they would kill your lawn, they manage to make it work. the title track is just classic tough, scruffy speed rock from the boys that do it best. 'Heart Of Stone' is a classic love ... Read More: Rating:  - Everything I Ever Needed to Know About Whiskey And Speed I Learned From LemmyThe provenance of this record is steeped in the very same whiskey and speed the lyrics profess and is delivered by dudes missing a lot of teeth among them. In my book, this gives a band a great deal of street cred. Like most Motorhead albums, the songs follow a stylistical formula. There aren't really more stand out tracks on Iron Fist than on any other given good Motorhead record, but these stand out tracks seem especially engineered for optimal concussive effect. While some earlier songs may have been iconic (ahem, "Ace of Spades"), it's the pithier tracks like "Sex and Outrage" and "America" that really nourish the flower of youth. And Motorhead is, after all, an extremely enigmatic and influential band. I hear ... Read More: Rating:  - a lot of people don't like this one but it's one of my favoritesIron Fist is the closing chapter in one phase of Motorhead's history. It marks the last album with Fast Eddie (who also produced this one), and a lot of fans, even Lemmy himself, have said they don't care much for this album. Personally I don't understand why there are complaints. Perhaps it's frowned upon because it was the end of an era. Maybe because of the environment in which it was recorded- turmoil, fights, management issues, band member issues, increased drug use, musical differences, and trying to follow up their most successful album yet in Ace of Spades- maybe all of that makes it a bad memory for Lemmy. It could be because Iron Fist was the first Motorhead song I ever heard back in 1982 (and it's still my favorite song) ... Read More: Rating: - Fast Eddie Fans must have this one!This album gets a bad wrap: yea, its not Ace Of Spades, but it is the last of the Fast Eddie era Moterhead. The tune Iron Fist is a great song, and worth it for that one alone. This is definitly a fans album, but remember that this one made the top 6 on the British charts when it came out (so its not as bad as some reviews suggest). This album is not the "Mr Roboto" (a stinker of an album) of Motorhead, but definitly not their very best effort. Also, its not the worst they did: you can hear classic Eddie in this album, and Phil and Lemmy do a great job on this as well. They sound like they were on the verge of becoming more like Saxon and Iron Maiden, and less like a band of Soccer holligan drunks playing late 70s thrash. ... Read More: Rating: - Last of the "Fast Eddie" era Motorhead are a rock and roll legend. From their bruising beginnings to current status as hard rockin' Godfathers, Lemmy and company have stayed true to their roots and have prospered at least well enough to stay on the road and make albums. The first Motorhead incarnation remains, to many, the classic line-up with Lemmy Kilmister on bass and (ahem) vocals, Philthy Animal Taylor on drums and Fast Eddie Clarke on guitars. Fast Eddie is the key ingredient to the classic crash and burn Motorhead sound that gave us the immortal "Ace Of Spades" and earlier platters like "Overkill" and "Bomber". Clarke's style, a thick blues and riff heavy attack gave Motorhead their distinctive hooks, much needed amid the bombast. "Iron ... Read More: |
