Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers: The Rise of Motörhead The story of Motörhead is one of excess and rebellion, of bad-luck bad boys who found success in the midst of chaos. This book tells the tale of the band's formation and rise to fame, with a focus on the classic-era lineup of Lemmy Kilmister, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. Through interviews with the principal members of the band, Martin Popoff explores the band's unique position in the New Wave of British Heavy Metal scene, and the heady climate of music that surrounded them. The book also examines the personal demons that plagued the band, and the shocking recent deaths of Taylor and Kilmister. A detailed coda brings the story up to date, providing a fitting conclusion to this fascinating account of Motörhead's history. With its in-depth look at the band's records, including Motörhead, Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, and Iron Fist, this book is a worthwhile read for fans of heavy metal and rock music.
