Motorhead

Motorhead is a car-racing simulation in which speed makes the difference. Set in the near future, the action takes place at the six venues of the Transatlantic Speed League. Venues range from downtown highways to abandoned mining facilities, and success is rewarded with additional cars and courses. Along with the spectacular crashes and breathtaking speed, the most impressive thing about this game is the AI. Unlike traditional racing games, there are no fixed paths or static patterns in the Motorhead engine. The game uses real-world physical data to make the collisions more realistic.

Motorhead is a racing game set in the near future. Despite it's semi-futuristic setting the cars require realistic handling. There are 10 different cars and 8 different tracks. You don't get them all at once ... you have to earn them by winning championships in the Transatlantic Speed League.

Motorhead has had a tough time arriving at their current comfortable position. Joke: - What’s the definition of confusion? Answer: - Trying to sort out which musicians have belonged to Motorhead, and when. They have gone through players, managers, directors and labels like they were aiming at Guinness’ Book. They have made records only to have them rejected by their current label. They have later seen these albums resurrected when Motorhead’s bankability was at its height, by label execs with dollar signs in their eyes.

The Motorhead story has simply become a part of rock 'n' roll lore. It began when former Jimi Hendrix roadie Lemmy (born Ian Kilmister, the son of a vicar) was dismissed from his membership in the space-rock band Hawkwind after being busted in Canada for possession. The last song he wrote for the band was called "Motorhead" and after deciding against his original choice Bastard as the moniker for his new band, he chose Motorhead. Joining Lemmy in the original lineup were guitarist Larry Wallis and drummer Lucas Fox. Soon, Fox left and was replaced by "Philthy" Phil Taylor and guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke joined. Wallis left and the famous trio of Lemmy/Taylor/Clarke remained in place until 1982.

Motorhead's then-label doesn't like the recordings (the company releases them ... as "On Parole" three years later when the group starts achieving success). The guys decide a second guitar player is in order, so they ask "Fast" Eddie Clarke to try out. For reasons still unknown, Larry Wallace quits during the audition. Fast Eddie stays, however, thus completing the trio that sees Motorhead through its ground breaking early years. The band gigs, records, and finds a new manager (or two).

Motorhead's "1916" was released in 1991 and is a little different than other Motorhead releases. For one thing, Motorhead has four members on this recording rather than the usual three. For another, this CD is loaded with emotion of all kinds, not just the hellbent-for-leather attitude of previous Motorhead releases. It was an angle the band would continue to use on each album even through today.
