Motörhead's version of Cat Scratch Fever is one of the greatest covers I've ever heard!

Oh hell yeah! Everybody has thier own take on what is a band's best album,and to me 2004 "Inferno" is the best Motorhead album they have ever done.Every track is a hit single and each one is absolutely excellent,"Life's A Bitch" is fuckin kick ass Painkiller!!! They played "In The Name Of Tradgedy" when I saw them in October here in Seattle and it was amazing!!!!!

Yeah thats right , you were saying that before I joinde the forum. I'll give you credit for that. But you were also saying that Motorhead wasn't a Heavy Metal band but some kind of hard greasy biker style band instead. Now you're on here saying they are one of champions of British Heavy Metal. So which on is it? Are they heavy metal or not? Make up your mind or do you change it every day. The contradiction continues. BaHa!!!!!! Busted again!!

Oh i know it Becks!! And the funny thing is that we were saying this all along way before that retarded piece of shit Maiden fanboy joined this forum,Freeze is right nobody should even talk to him,I've stomped him and defeated him 10 times over as everybody already knows so theres no point in posting in his lame stupid thread lol! This guy is retarded to the max and he has proven it to the rest of the forum. Everybody just stop responding to him,let him talk to himself and post by himself for now on...he will get bored if nobody awknowleges him....fuckin loser lol!
Motorhead blows aways Iron Maiden so far into the dirt its unexplainable,Maiden is a "trend" that people listen to because its the "hip thing to do" they listen to them because everybody else likes them so they feel they have to like them too to try and "fit in" with the masses of sheep just like Metallica fans,there is no difference between the "TREND" of Iron Maiden and Shitallica,no difference,dumb people listen to post Cliff Burton era Metallica because its the trendy thing to do,they see all these trendy kiddies listening to shitallica so they feel they have to be a part in that,thats why they are "sheep". Fuck off to Iron Maiden and fuck off to all Iron Maiden fans.
DOWN THE FUCKIN' IRONS FOREVER.

A-FREAKIN'-MEN!!! THAT is what I have been saying for ages now! Exactly why I can't stand current Maiden. A Matter of Life and Death led me to that very conclusion. Every (seemingly 17 minute) song changes tempo so often I just can't get into it. Never have, never will and believe me, I have tried.
One guitarist too many, too many poor, droning songs to count.

It's things like that that get boring. It worked for Mariner but that was a one off. They end up with a good idea for a four minute song turning into a boring eight minute song. Whether it's Harris or not I don't know but it pisses me off. I hate putting a new cd in and seeing that it's 76 minutes long or something. |

I agree with the trying to be clever comment JJ. I think Maiden needs to realise that fans don't necessarily want some egotistical insanely long album. It's very rare that it actually works, like you say. Marriner is the exception.

I agree with you. I've never liked the band "Rush" but they used to play "rock" with a tad bit of progressiveness but it was rock and there were "riffs" ect..but when they hit around 1984-85- till now they are so progressive its really not Rush anymore with the songs they write. Iron Maiden to me is the "Rush" of heavy metal except they didn't go as far as Rush did with the over-the-top progressiveness but they still went far enough to agrivate old time Maiden fans especially fans of the band's first 7 studio albums(1980 -1988).
I actually like the AMOLAD album except for those 2 stupid tracks I've already mentioned several times because its the best thing I can get from Maiden since 1988's Seventh Son album but it still is light years from Seventh Son in quality,as I've said it is a great album for Iron Maiden as we all know they can get worse so I'm just trying to give the band some kind of credit.
I think the problem with Iron Maiden is "Steve Harris" and the reason I say that is because of Bruce Dickinson's last 3 studio albums Accident Of Birth,The Chemical Wedding and Tyranny Of Souls wich they are kinda progressive too but they are tons heavier and better quality of song writting,those 3 albums to me crush every Maiden album after 1988's Seventh Son album. I think Steve Harris says whats what and whos who...he is the master mind behind Iron Maiden and he says what goes and what doesn't,these less than average albums they keep putting out I blame on Steve Harris.
Judas Priest may not set the world on fire writting albums but really they lost Rob Halford a lot longer than Maiden lost Bruce and to be totally honest...Angel Of Retribution besides Lochness screams of classic Judas Priest and has that old-school sound....it could of easily been released in 1986 instead of Turbo...it could of been right there alongside Screaming For Vengeance and Defenders Of The Faith.
I'm not saying that its better than those albums but it could of easily been in that era with sound and quality song writting. Iron Maiden hasn't come close to Retribution with Brave New World,Dance Of Death or A Matter Of life And Death and I'm betting that The Final Frontier will be no exception.At least Priest gave us Angel Of Retribution and I'll put my money on that this next LP from our Metal Gods will be another classic in the Judas Priest shrine...we'll have to wait and see.

Hell yeah jimmy the key thing for me about Motorhead is thier "consistancy" at writting good albums and not just good for Motorhead should do,good for mass people who like rock/heavy metal. They are #1 at consistant quality song writting album after album and they don't wait 3 or more years to write those albums I agree with you on that. I'm not linking you to my opinion about Iron Maiden,but to me Iron Maiden is they worst band at consistant song writting/albums of quality material. Compared to Motorhead it would be a mear joke to say that Maiden is just as consistant in writting quality songs and putting out quality albums of kick ass material and again this is not to toy with Brian and his likings for Iron Maiden,this is how I thougtht long before he unfortuantely joined our forum,Iron Maiden is just not good at writting quality songs on a consistant basis so again I'll have to say......

The great thing about Motorhead is that they do put out albums on a regular basis. I remember when I was in Canada a year and a half ago and I saw the Motorizer cd at the mall. I was thinking but Kiss Of Death only came out 5 minutes ago. Now, a year and a half later another album is ready. All bands should be like this. Bands blame things like long tours etc being the reason for these extended periods in between albums but thats bullshit, Motorhead are always touring, they've even found the time to make it down here to NZ twice in the last 5 years. Motorhead is an example to all bands as far as having a work ethic goes. So many bands think 20 shows in the US and Canada and 15 in Europe constitutes a world tour and then they take a year off before starting work on the next album, not Motorhead. These guys are legends. Can't wait for the new album.
