Stone Deaf Forever
About This Album
The liner notes that Mick Wall wrote for Stone Deaf Forever are full of interesting anecdotes, but the most interesting of all has to do with a 1979 show that found Motörhead and the Damned appearing on the same bill. According to Lemmy Kilmister, a lot of bottles were thrown that night. Motörhead fans threw bottles at the Damned, and Damned fans threw bottles at Motörhead. These days, Motörhead and the Damned seem like a perfectly logical combination, but back in the late '70s, there was still a great deal of animosity between headbangers and punks. However, they became the best of friends in the '80s, and Motörhead deserve much of the credit for that alliance. Arguably, Motörhead were the first thrash metal band; they were the first band to combine metal's heaviness with punk's reckless, amphetamine-like speed and velocity, and their innovations paved the way for Metallica, Anthrax, Slayer, and Megadeth as well as countless grindcore, death metal, hardcore, grunge, and alt-metal bands. Spanning 1975-2002, this five-CD, 99-track box set takes a thorough look at the metal/punk revolution known as Motörhead. While Hawkwind -- the space rock combo that Kilmister got kicked out of before he formed Motörhead -- had a relatively clean sound, there was nothing clean or polite about Motörhead.
