Beats: Motorhead & Thin Lizzy Classic Album Selections

Motorhead - The Classic Album Selection

Forming the band after his unceremonious sacking from Hawkwind (following an unfortunate narcotics misunderstanding at the Canadian border) then naming them after the very last song he wrote and recorded with the space cadets, Motörhead mainman and force of nature, Ian Fraser Kilmister, or Lemmy to the world, gunned the accelerator and wheel spun his very own ‘Silver Machine’ into the fast lane of the UK singles and album chart, leaving on-lookers spitting dust from gritted snaggleteeth! Through varying line-up changes and more ups and downs than a spin on the Whacky Goldmine, Motörhead have released some of the most influential Heavy Metal Rock N’ Roll known to any sub-human, and in doing so, have been widely regarded as spawning the illegitimate genre that became known as ‘Speed Metal’.

Now six of the bands’ best albums are being released all in one box. They are original masters, housed in gate-fold replica wallets with original artwork - a perfect introduction to one of the greatest Metal bands in the world.

Content

1. OVERKILL
2. BOMBER
3. ACE OF SPADES
4. NO SLEEP 'TILL HAMMERSMITH
5. IRON FIST
6. ANOTHER PERFECT DAY

If you don't have any of these albums in your collection, you may as well hand in your heavy metal license. My personal favourite, Overkill, is an essential album to own. It is everything you want in a heavy metal album.

Thin Lizzy - The Classic Album Selection

On 11th June Thin Lizzy will be releasing a wonderful Classic Album Collection. Presented as mini-LPs and housed in an attractive slipcase, these limited edition artist album box sets are the ultimate overview of the band’s career. Whether you are looking for an introduction to Thin Lizzy or if you are simply looking to bolster your collection this ticks all the boxes.

Content

1. NIGHTLIFE
2. FIGHTING
3. JAILBREAK
4. JOHNNY THE FOX
5. BAD REPUTATION
6. BLACK ROSE

Thin Lizzy are yet another band whose music you need to own. They have the right mix of hard rock and Irish folk. Jailbreak is an essential album to any music collection - It's heavy and Irish, what's not to like?

If you don't own all of these albums already, you have no excuse now.


Both of these box sets are out now and will be available from any music retailer with half a dick.

Beats: Album of the Month – August

If you follow me on twitter or read my ramblings on this here blog, you would’ve seen that I did a Beer of the Month post. It was a difficult decision to make. You may also notice if you follow me on twitter that I listen to A LOT of different music; I think I got something like 30 new albums in August alone which is ridiculous. You’d think with that much new music, picking an album of the month would be difficult, right? Wrong. This was a simple choice. So, which band wins the almighty honour of Booze, Beats & Bites’ first ever album of the month? The award goes to…

Lidl Currywurst - A Review

Ah, Currywurst! A Berlin institution and indeed, if you've been to Berlin and didn't eat Currywurst whilst you were there, I'm not sure we can be friends. My first Currywurst was on my first ever trip to Berlin in August 2016 where I stumbled upon a stall at the Street Theatre Festival on Alexanderplatz; I grabbed a cheap €3 plate as well as a beer and sat in the warm sun, and fell in love. Later on that trip I visited the Currywurst museum (yes, such a thing exists) and although a novelty, I feel it was possibly the wurst (SEE WHAT I DID THERE?) eleven euros I've ever spent. The premise of Currywurst, for those who don't know, is simple: It's effectively sliced boiled and fried sausage coated in a sweet curry ketchup and topped with curry powder; you'll usually find it served with chips and mayonnaise on nearly every street corner in Berlin. I'd seen the famous CurryKing brand of microwavable Currywurst in supermarkets in Germany but never did I e

Beats: God Seed – I Begin review

God Seed was created by Norwegian black metal legends Gaahl and King Ov Hell when they left Gorgoroth in 2009. Whilst they were with Gorgoroth, they played hundreds of sold out shows culminating in their absolutely fucking massive, legendary performance at Wacken 2008. I am proud to say that I was there and it was absolutely fucking mindblowing. Everything you think of black metal was true. Fire, darkness and pentagrams. Fucking yes. I’ve always been a massive black metal fan. None of my friends were ever really that into it but I’ve loved it. It’s a genre that has always rattled cages, scared people and even made headline news. It’s just so dark and disgusting. I’ve been excited about this album for a while but y’know, I really have to be in the right mood for Black Metal. Today, this is the case.
