In 1980, Motorhead released their fourth studio album Ace Of Spades. Loud, Fast and overwhelmingly heavy, Ace Of Spades would propel Motorhead into the ranks of Heavy Metals elite and 25 years later is still considered a benchmark album in its genre. Motorheads inception came after bassist/singer and surprisingly vicars son Lemmy Kilmister was ousted for excessive drug use from legendary prog rockers Hawkwind in 1975. Taking the name from the last song he wrote for Hawkwind, Lemmy went off to form the band Motorhead. Shortly after releasing their self titled debut album, guitarist Fast Eddie Clarke joined the band, resulting in what would become the classic Motorhead line up of Lemmy(bass/vocals), Fast Eddie Clarke(guitar) and Philip Philthy Animal Taylor(drums). Motorhead-Ace Of Spades Classic Album sees Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke and Philip Philthy Animal Taylor talk candidly about the writing and recording of the album and the goings on inside the Motorhead camp at the time. Watch Fast Eddie as he demonstrates how the riff for Ace Of Spades came about, and see the trio (with the help of modern technology) together on the same stage once again. Also featured are exclusive interviews with the likes of Slash (GunsnRoses/Velvet Revolver), Lars Ulrich (Metallica), Dave Brock (Hawkwind) and many more.

Format
The TV series is made by Isis Productions and distributed by Eagle Rock Entertainment. It is shown on various broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Sky Arts, VH1 and VH1 Classic. They are also available on DVD. The show is similar in structure to VH1's short-lived 2001 series, Ultimate Albums.The music, and its production, is dissected by the musicians and/or producer playing the multitrack recordings and singling out tracks that one does not usually consciously hear when listening to the music, giving insight into the way the sound is built up. Also, the individual musicians play back pieces, which are then blended with the original recording. Almost all songs are dealt with, focusing almost entirely on the music itself, how it was composed/realised. Personal aspects of the band or members are occasionally dealt with, but mostly only if they serve this purpose. TV episodes are 50 minutes long but the DVD releases contain much additional material. All the releases in this series are done with the co-operation and full authorisation of the artists involved. The Series Producers are Nick de Grunwald and Martin R Smith. Various Directors have been used for the series but the majority of the programmes have been directed by Bob Smeaton, Matthew Longfellow and Jeremy Marre.
The most recent episodes in the series cover Black Sabbath - Paranoid, Tom Petty and The Heartbreakers - Damn the Torpedoes, and Rush - 2112 & Moving Pictures. These were released in mid-2010, and were also released on the Blu-ray Disc format.
History
The television series is unrelated to a radio show devised by radio producer John Pidgeon as a vehicle for Roger Scott, following the disc jockey’s move from Capital Radio to BBC Radio 1 in 1988. The first hour-long series, produced independently by John and Roger, opened with Dire Straits’ Brothers In Arms in May 1989, followed by the Rolling Stones’ Beggar’s Banquet, Genesis’ Invisible Touch, Pink Floyd's Dark Side of the Moon, The Who's Who's Next, Fleetwood Mac’s Rumours, the Beach Boys’ Pet Sounds, Police’s Synchronicity, the Eagles’ Hotel California and U2’s The Joshua Tree. Roger died of cancer five months later, and the second series aired posthumously. Further programs were presented by Richard Skinner.
