‘Ace Of Spades’ – the title track of Motörhead‘s 1980 iconic, game changing album isn’t just one of the greatest hard rock songs ever written – it has truly become a lifestyle anthem for several generations of rockers, metalheads, punks, bikers, athletes, rebels, outcasts, and freethinkers all around the world.
Few songs in modern history can instantly ignite the adrenaline of music fans the way the song’s opening dirty bass riff, and drum roll can. From zero to 100 mph in a matter of seconds. That speaker-destroying opening riff is unstoppable. And the song changed the course of hard rock…forever.
Now, 40 years later we are celebrating this milestone album’s anniversary on Motörhead day 2020, ‘The 8th Of May’ by inviting you, the fans from around the globe to join us on this special day where everything is louder than everything else!
Here’s what’ll be happening on the day.
** Warpig your face with a unique Facebook and Instagram filter of the snarling embodiment of Motörhead.
** A worldwide premiere of a new lyric video for the most iconic of Motörhead songs –
Ace Of Spades. The video will premiere here
** A limited edition Road Crew merchandise capsule will be released on the webstore here
A portion of the proceeds of the Road Crew merchandise will be going to Live Nation’s Crew Nation Fund to provide financial support to touring crews affected at this time. #WeAreTheRoadCrew
** Raise a toast to Motörhead! Fill a glass with your favourite libation and post your toast to Motörhead online with the hashtag #8thofmay. Jack and Coke optional!

We look forward to celebrating 40 years of lawn killing, bastard Rock n Roll with you all!
