Review about Motorhead songs
It's an anthem about life. | Reviewer: J Dug
    ------ About the song Ace Of Spades performed by Motorhead

Ace of Spades is basically the Lemmy Manifesto about how to live life. He is using gambling and card games as a metaphor for the way he lives. The key line is "the pleasure is to play, makes no difference what you say." In other words in doesn't matter if you win or lose at the game of life as long as you live your life "balls out" with no compromise.

    ------ About the song Ace Of Spades performed by Motorhead

I don't the full meaning of the song as of yet, but it's clearly about suicide. I was listening to an old radio program about dignitaries who were part of a suicide club, and the person who picked the ace of spades, was the one chosen to "take of business" if you will. that and a dead man's hand is a full house consisting of aces and eights. combined with the line "I don't wanna live forever. I still like the song, but it really makes you wonder.

Dead mans hand | Reviewer: Metalfan
    ------ About the song Ace Of Spades performed by Motorhead

Strange coincidence the dead mans hand is referring to the card the ace of spades which is the card that indirectly caused the death of cliff burton 4 years later because cliff won a card game and got to sleep on the top bunk of the tour bus and it flipped cliff died

Great song. Means a lot to me. | Reviewer: Marc
    ------ About the song God Was Never On Your Side performed by Motorhead

Still as actual as hell. When the pope is still:

-Putting stigmas on people

-Worst of all: discriminating people

-Telling grown people what to do

He's supposed to represent god (whom I don't believe in) in this world, but he cannot even simply wish everyone love, peace and a good year. Where's civilization when you need it..

not just poker... | Reviewer: yo
    ------ About the song Ace Of Spades performed by Motorhead

"Dead mans hand is a poker hand" "reference to craps" " is about truco"

ace of spades... is the most important card in truco... thats true... but theres no thing about "snake eyes" in truco or poker... as far as i know... dead mans hand is a poker hand... so... or its about something else like craig said "not about cards games." or just gambling like Anonymous said "it's clearly about gambling, not a specific game but just gambling in general"

i think the last one is the one...

    ------ About the song Orgasmatron performed by Motorhead

Tmm, it's "and revel in YOUR pain"
and "I speak OF great heroic days".
I'd also say it's "my image is YOUR agony" - but then, this might be due to me not being a native speaker. I just can't make any sense of "my image is of agony".

    ------ About the song I Ain't No Nice Guy performed by Motorhead

Very good id love to hear more of them together. The guitars and piano along with voices compliment each other very harmonically. Normally i like to get a preview of whem and if the song will change style or rythm and speed etc(this case acoustic and eletric). Usually theres a begining midfle and end to those parts. The way it came in was surprising but not agressive and the same is true when it cuts off. Overall i loved it and would like to hear Hellraiser with them together. Slash is overshadowed in this one if you didnt know his style of play if Lemmy didnt point it out youd never really know. He pnly comes in the solo and dies out very uncaracteristic of his normal free interpertation of licks and mini solos during verses qnd chorus
