Well, let me start off by stating the obvious: For over 25 Years, Motorhead has been KICKING OUR COLLECTIVE ASSES!! Yeah, it's been a Hell of a ride for Lemmy (IS GOD) and company. The Best Of Motorhead documents that ride and then some with a two-CD collection of 40 digitally remastered tracks that include Motorhead classics, live rarities, and a couple of collaborations that will satisfy even the most hardcore of Motorhead fans.

All the Motorhead eras with all the lineups are documented here, so there's plenty of Philty Animal Taylor, Phil Campbell, and all things Lemmy. And all the classic are there, "Ace Of Spades," "Metropolis," "Orgasmatron," and even a KILLER(mister) version of "Louie, Louie". I'm telling you, if it's good kick-ass Rock N' Roll you crave, it doesn't get any better than this.

Never heard of Motorhead? Shame On You! Lemmy Kilmister is the one of the baddest muthas to ever walk the earth. He'll have a couple of Hetfields and a Manson for breakfast, and not think twice about it. I think Lemmy said it best when (back in 1975) he said "We're the kind of band that if we moved in next to you, your lawn would die." Well, it's 25 ass-kicking years later and the statement still fits! Pick up The Best Of Motorhead for it provides a great collection that spans the career of one Lemmy Kilmister, a fitting tribute to a true Metal Legend.
