The Story Behind: Motorhead - Ace of Spades, Ep 173

Musicians recount the strange and unexpected story behind the making of your favorite albums. Motorhead was formed after Lemmy was fired from psych rock pioneers Hawkwind. They aimed to combine the energy and defiance of the MC5 with the early rock and roll spirit of Little Richard. This week the fellows discuss Lemmy's growl, title-first songwriting, and accident-prone drummers.
