Motorhead

Motörhead, formed in London in 1975 by Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister after leaving Hawkwind, fused raw rock energy with blistering speed. Their lean, brutal style and fearless attitude defined a new blueprint for loud, no-nonsense rock that would influence metal and punk alike for decades. Early records like Overkill (1979) and Bomber (1980), capped by the immortal Ace of Spades (1980), established a sense of urgency and power that still resonates with players today.

With a relentless work ethic, Motörhead became one of rock's most prolific touring machines, earning a reputation for brutal live shows and a signature low-end roar. The lineup changed over the years, from Eddie Clarke to Phil Campbell, but the core ethos—rhythm first, speed and aggression never sacrificed—stayed constant. Their footprint on speed metal and modern riff-heavy metal is undeniable, influencing countless bands and redefining what it means to play heavy, groove-driven rock.

Even after Lemmy's passing in 2015, Motörhead's legacy endures in every riff you learn from DadRock Tabs. The 41 lessons (including Bad Woman, Born To Raise Hell, Death Or Glory, On Your Feet Or On Your Knees, Too Good To Be True, Hellraiser, Cat Scratch Fever, Ramones, Angel City, and Love Me Forever) capture the band's brutal groove, helping you build rhythm, stamina, and confidence in your playing while channeling that iconic Motörhead attitude.
