- Hello everyone and welcome back to my channel.
On todays episode we continue to look through my CD collection as we begin with part one of my Motorhead albums.

Molly Hatchet is great car driving music - sunglasses optional.
Motörhead is like SAXON. You know what your getting with any cd.
Absolutely!! Getting that MH set has rekindled my love for Southern rock!!
I have most of these albums on cassette, and a few on CDs. Iron Fist is probably one of the weakest motorhead albums but it's still motorhead and it still deserves to be listened to.
In my opinion, Orgasmatron is probably the best, all killer no filler album they ever did.
Speaking of broken cases, I recently renewed most of my broken cases...and some of them had a few broken things in the inner circle thing that holds the CD in place, and now I have shiny spanking new CD collection. Here's how I did it....
Went on ye olde Facebook marketplace where someone was selling a hugh box of pop CDs for £5.
I think there was around 140 brand new looking CDs of shit like boyzone, take that, now that's what I call shit music, Shakira, Britney spears etc etc etc.
I bought them, then thew out all the crap from inside the cases and cleaned and polished up the cases with some t-cut and hey presto, my broken damaged cases got replaced with new shiny ones, and have some spare cases left over for any future breaks that might happen too.
Cool idea!! You could always recoup your money by buying cheap plastic sleeves and selling them on again to someone who likes that crap!! Orgasmotron is awesome too!!
Bought Iron Fist back in the days. Don't really like it. Not bad but not my go to album. Also have No Sleep Till Hammersmith and the No Remorse compilation in a leather sleeve. Quite smelly 😎
LOL! I was lucky that I liked the smell of new leather, but I don't have a sense of smell now son I don't know what it smells of!!
I've never got on with Iron Fist, though I probably should revisit it again one day. I agree, Another Perfect Day is a great album. It's a little different from those early records in that it is quite melodic isn't it. Orgasmatron is probably my favorite Motorhead album. Wurzel was in the band when I first started listening to them, so I've got a soft spot for his particular 'sound'. While my first Motorhead CD was the compilation released in 1987 called the Collection, 1916 was my studio album entry point with the band. I saw them perform on that tour at the Portsmouth Guild Hall. The Almighty were the support act and ...well, they didn't stand a chance did they really. March Or Die was for me a big disappointment. It had one foot in the commercial world of Ozzy Osborne. There were some great songs on it but most were a bit too radio friendly for me. I can remember I played it over and over again hoping it would get better... Bastards was their return to form IMHO, and I think on that album they reached their peek. Interesting review. Cheers
I saw them on that tour too in Nottingham, I'd not heard The Almighty before then but was very impressed, I don't think they reached their full potential though. I agree there was a lull in the quality of some mid-era albums, I think they should have taken time off to write stronger material instead of letting the record companies forcing them in to do another album so soon.
@@AdrianBowerProject I remember seeing/reading/hearing (?) a conversation between Phil Taylor and Lemmy about how the record companies took Motorhead for granted at about that time. They didn't invest in the band and I think Motorhead became side stepped by younger up and coming bands etc. Phil said something about noticing the tears of frustration in Lemmy's eyes when forced to play though a crap PA system... and Lemmy's comeback was that if there were tears they were tears of joy that he was playing the music he wanted to... maybe you're familiar with that exchange. I'm sure there was a lot to that. By then, I guess Motorhead had become part of the woodwork and record company attention was focused on younger sexier bands in the hope that one of them would be the next Def Leppard. I'll always be grateful to Lemmy. His music and words have got me through the toughest of times in the past. I've always felt that you can handle most things while Lemmy has your back. I can remember starting my first job many years ago in a psychiatric hospital. I was terrified. While I put my socks on that morning, Back At The Funny Farm came on the CD player... it helped me embrace what I was about to walk into and Motorhead has often helped me in that way throughout life.
Did you grab any of the 40th anniversary versions? I just got my “Bomber” cd in the mail!
No I didn't, I couldn't justify paying for something for the 3rd time (I bought the original vinyl in 79 and then the CD version with a few extras on) that I already had just for a few extras.
