Motörhead discography
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The discography of the British heavy metal band Motörhead is complicated and large; this list mainly represents the "core" albums as defined by the band themselves on their web site alongside singles and other releases as detailed by other principal sources. There are, in addition, bootlegs and many compilations of previously recorded material and live recordings, which are not issued under the control of the band, so one may find exactly the same material under several different names.

[edit] Compilation albums
This section lists those Motörhead albums that have been compiled and released from previously released tracks and archive tapes, be it live, studio outtakes or demo material, with the exception of No Remorse, for which the band recorded new material specifically. Only officially recognised releases are listed, the many unofficial releases and derivatives have purposefully been omitted.

[edit] Trivia
- The main riffs of "No Class" and "Stone Deaf in the USA" are each other backwards, while the riff in "No Class" was borrowed from ZZ Top's "Tush".[2]
- The solo on "Capricorn" was recorded whilst Eddie was tuning his guitar.[citation needed]
- The song "Ace of Spades" has been used in three video games: Tony Hawk's Pro Skater 3, Guitar Hero and the original Singstar game.
- The Songs "The Game", "King of Kings", and "Line in the Sand" have been used as the entrance themes for WWE's Triple H and the last one used for Triple H's Evolution. The middle song is included also in the album WWE Wreckless Intent released in 2006 by WWE.
