Through interviews with all of the principal troublemakers, Martin Popoff celebrates the formation of the band and the records that made them legends: \u003ci\u003eMotörhead\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eOverkill\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eBomber\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eAce of Spades\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eNo Sleep 'til Hammersmith\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eIron Fist\u003c\/i\u003e. An in-depth coda brings the story up to date with the shocking recent deaths of Taylor and Kilmister. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eMotörhead comes to life in this book as bad-luck bad boys -- doused in drink and drugs, most notably speed -- incapable of running their lives right, save for Fast Eddie, who is charged with holding things together. Popoff also examines the heady climate of music through the band's rise to prominence during the New Wave of British Heavy Metal, with detailed reflection on Motörhead's unique position in the scene as both originators and embattled survivors who carried on the renegade spirit of those times.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAbout the Author\u003c\/b\u003e\u003cbr\u003eWith 54 books on heavy metal, hard rock, and record collecting, and with more than 7,900 record reviews, \u003cb\u003eMartin Popoff\u003c\/b\u003e has been called \"heavy metal's most widely recognized journalist.\" In addition to writing for \u003ci\u003eGoldmine\u003c\/i\u003e, BraveWords.com, and record companies, Martin works for Banger Productions, having conducted research and consulted on \u003ci\u003eRush: Beyond the Lighted Stage\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eMetal Evolution\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRock Icons\u003c\/i\u003e, and the in-progress official documentary on ZZ Top.
