THE title of Motorhead’s 1999 album, Everything Louder Than Everyone Else, says it all about these heavy metal heroes.
For nearly 35 years Lemmy Kilmister and his cohorts have been splitting eardrums with a sonic attack which has made them legends among rockers around the globe.
Relentless touring, legal wrangles with record companies, line up changes and the occasional run-in with the law has never dented Motorhead’s ability to deliver the goods with classic songs like Ace of Spades and Bomber.
The trio are currently on the road playing songs from their latest album, Motorizer, which was released in August this year.
Catch Motorhead with support from the Damned and Girlschool at Wolverhampton’s Civic Hall on Sunday November 29.
