I didn't come up with the title Orgasmatron right off the bat. The album's working title was Riding with the Driver (each Motörhead studio album, except Bastards, which we made in 1993, is named after one of its songs), but that track didn't turn out as good as...

In the midst of our travels, Bronze put out an EP of four tracks ('Leaving Here', 'Stone Dead Forever', 'Dead Men Tel No Tales', and 'Too Late Too Late'), recorded live while we were gigging. As a joke I told the label to call it The Golden Years...

They brought in five [1918 album cover] sketches, all of them atrocious. So we sent them all back, amongst much moaning and groaning and temper tandrums from the art department - you'd think we were dealing with a bunch of nine-year-olds! Sony ended up farming it out to...

MOTORHEAD released the live single, taken from the album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, on this day in 1981. Includes one of their best songs in its best version - "Over the Top"!

Here we are again, Sportsfans, something old - me, something new - Brian, something borrowed - money, and something reptile - Phil. MOTORHEAD released their excellent sixth album on this day in 1983. Eddie Clarke left the band during the 1982 Iron Fist tour and was replaced by...

Cheers you lot! The gig was actually recorded way back in August 1980, but on this day in 1981 the old Associated Television (now ITV) broadcast MOTORHEAD & GIRLSCHOOL on the Rockstage programme. Watch both sets, recorded at Nottingham's Theatre Royal, below. MOTORHEAD get 35 minutes, GIRLSCHOOL about...

It was a bomber's sky: dry air, wind enough to clear the smoke, cloud broken enough to recognise a few stars... On this day in 1979 MOTORHEAD released their sixth single, reaching 34 in the charts. The song (and iconic huge bomber rig) was, at least in part,...

Recorded live on this day in 1980 for Rockstage on 4 April 1981. The Rockstage programme, which aired on ATV (now ITV Central), presented gigs from Nottingham's Theatre Royal. This concert came after a European tour in February, March and some sporadic dates until July. After the Rockstage...

MOTÖRHEAD released Sacrifice on this day in 1995. The first and last songs are killer, quite a lot of punk especially early on... and of course heavy rock throughout! Sacrifice was the last MOTÖRHEAD album with Würzel: He only played one solo on the whole album. He was...

Sandwiched between Hot Chocolate and the Nolan Sisters we get one of MOTORHEAD’s best! Appearing on Top of the Pops on this day in 1980. Motorhead, Top of the Pops, 1 May 1980 "Leaving Here" is a cover of an early Holland-Dozier-Holland number originally recorded by Eddie Holland in 1963. Eddie Holland...

MOTÖRHEAD released their fifth studio LP - Iron Fist - on this day in 1982. It would be the last MOTÖRHEAD album with Fast Eddie Clarke, who also co-produced the recording. Any quotes from the band are usually negative towards this album, personally it's one of my favourites!...

Live on this day in 1991 at the Deutsches Museum, Munich during the 1916 tour, following the album release in January. The gig, MOTÖRHEAD's 15th Anniversary show, was released on video as Everything Louder than Everything Else which includes interviews during the German leg of the tour. Lemmy,...
