It’s like one bad song that went on and on and on. Double album, no thank you
I don't think any live album should really be on this list, and this one is no exception.
This hurt my ears on mute.
Yuck 0/5
My favourite song was the one where a fast guitar riff was repeated for 3 minutes while the singer made guttural throat noises into the mic
I didnt like this album :(
Uggghhhhhhhhhhhh who gives a fuck about a live Motörhead album, not me especially when I already listened to and was underwhelmed by Ace of Spades a few weeks ago. The only good thing is Overkill is on here which has a fun gimmick. This album sucks, and is the first I can without a doubt say shouldn’t be on this list. Fuck off. And of course fucking Jailbait is on here again, disgusting.
Absolutely no need for what sounds like a bootlegged Motörhead concert on this list. Interesting that they open with Ace of Spades though 2.9/10
Eugh another live album
wtf. More unlistenable.
A little Motorhead is a good thing. More Motorhead is a better thing. A double live Motorhead is turning me into a Mushhead. One star for being a live album. If there was a category called 1001 live albums that I need to listen to before I die, I'd give it more than one star.
Didn't fancy that one bit.
i hate this
Not for me. 1/5
I got to Overkill and just couldn’t do it anymore. There was so much left after that. DNF
The sound quality is super shit. I can't make out what he's singing, sounds exactly the same as when there are drunks in front of my house screaming at each other I liked some melodies, but let's be real, this is unlistenable
surprisingly listenable yet shit
it’s all one song bro 2/10
Motorhead is a fine band, but I've already had an album full of the best of these songs on here, these live versions not only fail to add anything to the music, but are also poorly recorded and mixed. I gave them two spades last time, only one this time.
Live album, ain't listening
Yucky I didn’t like this. I understand that it was number 1 in UK but please never come near me. Just exactly the type of music I do not like. Sorrrrryhh.
Amazing band! All the songs sound exactly the same, and they're all shit, but the band is still legendary (FOR WHAT? 0_o). And even though their studio takes are recorded like crap, one should listen to live album, which is recorded in the crappiest way of all possible. Quintessence of crap in one single release. First time here i regret that 1 star is minimum, cause it's definitely 0 out of 5.
I usually do not like live albums.
Not for me …
I'm sure the songs are great - but you can't tell thanks to the awful sound quality...
Horrible vocals.
Why is this even on this list? Pointless
It's quite obvious at this point that I don't like heavy metal, either that or Motorhead is overrated.
Too shouty. Did not like it.
I don't think I like hard rock...
uhhh... I loved the first track. A sweaty, frantic, wailing first track. And then it just kept... going? Lost interest quickly. Nothing grabbed me, once the initial shock got in. I'd vastly prefer being at that venue than getting 1 hour of this album in my kitchen. a low 2, -1 "live album tax." 1/5
Da e nåken godinga her, men livealbum
Every song sounded the same.
Clowntown shit. I’m truly baffled that I can’t find a bad word about them online. Motörhead is boring as fuck. No real talent, nothing really that they’re adding.
If I were a heavy metal fan, I would say it's mighty head banging music. But alas, it's simply not my genre.
Ace of Spades is a head-banging classic. The rest of the album gave me a migraine though.
This type of metal is really not my speed. Especially live albums, since I feel like I'm skipping the step where I actually want to listen to these songs live in the first place. Out of the metal I've listened to, I much prefer the slower, more sludge-y type than this up-tempo type, which just gets too overstimulating for me to really enjoy. Did not really enjoy listening to this, and it just isn't for my tastes, despite whatever quality it might have to other people. Hope to find more metal that I enjoy elsewhere on this list.
Bit hectic after a day at work.
trash. Sounds like shit all around. Vocals: shit, instrumentation: shit, mixing: shit.
3 stars if it wasn’t a live album
Not my jam. Especially not the live version, it's just too gritty sounding. I like more clean recordings. Ace of spades is a banger, as always. 1.5/5.
The lead singer has a bad voice. Kind of just bland hard rock to me. This is definitely not my type of music. It is also almost two hours long. No thank you.
This bad
Oef, live vind ik dit echt moeilijk.
This is not what I call music. It's noisy and makes me feel anxieety.
I don't like live albums and I don't like bad albums so this album checked no boxes for me. 1/5
Ugghhh.....noise
It’s metal and it’s live
Live, dead, I still can’t stand the noise
I like motorhead, I don't like live recordings
This is a lousy recording, as if they put blankets over everything and then did it from backstage. The music sounds like it is going in the opposite direction away from the ears, a smart phone would have been a better recording device. Musically, everything is the same, Motörhead has a sound, and a familiar bluesy riff that permeates nearly every song to where once a listener has started to notice, the damage is done as boredom sets in. Small flashes of differences are sprinkled throughout that give a false sense of hope, but for what reason this album requires doom-prior listening is difficult to determine, maybe even impossible.
This felt like a pretty unnecessary album to be in this list. I know others were not well liked but they could be justified possibly. This album was just overall useless. A love album where they play their best song first and the audio quality is poor. Pretty awful trifecta. 3.1/10
J’ai vraiment pas aimé ça. C’est plate, répétitif, pas intéressant, croche et désagréable. L’énergie est l’fun par contre.
Wow, ouvrir l'album avec le hit, c'est audacieux 🤣. Je peux comprendre l'intérêt d'écouter ce que ces 3 gars là arrivent à livrer comme mur de son, c'est assez impressionnant, mais à part ça, les albums live sont sans intérêt (surtout qu'on ne parle même pas d'un vrai live puisque chaque chanson vient d'un show différent).
For the love of god, dude. Give me a studio album from them. Why would he put a live Motorhead album on this list? This is not required listening. All on this day, the day of our lord and saviors return, you're going to play a live Motorhead album? He's gonna go back in that cave, and seal it off for another 1000 years of sin and debauchery! I can't deal with this! I won't allow it! Not on this day, the day of our lord and savior, Jesus' return. No. Nah ah. Not gonna happen.
no me gusta
Didn’t like this album
Good news, motorhead fans! Hammersmith has come and gone, since this is a live album, and you can all now sleep soundly. I know I certainly will.
If this is a list of 1,001 songs to listen to before you die, of all the Motorhead albums you could have chosen, why this one? The recording quality is so average.
A good friend knew Lemmy back in the ‘90’s & before I got to know her, & says he was an absolutely top, top bloke. RIP. But much as this makes me want to feel otherwise, I’m afraid this isn’t my music, its just awful. throughout.
No
Just not my thing
Bitte keine live Alben mehr! 1.0
Skipped. Motorhead stresses me out.
Right off the bat, I pretty much hate this. It’s so loud, and it’s just grating on me today. I am feeling pretty mellow, so that’s not helpful. But I’m not sure I’d like it much anyway. I don’t even want to listen to it, so I’m moving on.
These live albums are uniformly terrible why
I will not listen to anymore metal It does not spark joy
No me gusta nada este tipo de música... lo intenté pero no pude escuchar más de dos canciones...
Album? I thought they only had one song!
What could be worse than uninspiring, loud hard rock? A *shitty* recording of uninspiring loud hard rock! Next!
I had to stop. This was fucking terrible
I just can’t. This is not enjoyable for me. Did not listen for more than a minute or so.
Jason Birchmeier of AllMusic wrote, "the performance: in a word, it's breakneck. [...] Motorhead could do no wrong at this point in time, as they were laying the foundation for the coming thrash movement, in a way, and their winning streak continues here on No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, one of the best live metal albums of all time." In the 2011 book Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead, biographer Joel McIver calls the album "the peak of the Lemmy/Clarke/Philthy line-up's career." Robert Christgau wrote, "Vic Maile's power-packed definition obliterates my bias against live recording. Remakes of white lies like 'No Class' and 'Stay Clean' and calling cards like 'Bomber' and 'Motorhead' save valuable shelf space. So what if it gives me a headache? Sometimes a headache comes as a relief." The Daily Telegraph rated it the best live album of all time. "So what if it gives me a headache? Sometimes a headache comes as a relief." Headache indeed

Nope, nope, nope.
Ugh. I guess I’m an old fuddy duddy, but I’m not a fan of this style at all.
70’er speed metal, energisk, tempofyldt, guitarsoloer
