Motorhead Ace Of Spades Straight Bourbon Whiskey, A Whiskey Lemmy Would Down With Pride! – Meltdown

Author Meltdown

I came home last night from my Full Throttle Thursday bike night at Stingers, to find my wife had gotten me a little gift…a tasty bottle of Motorhead Ace of Spades Straight Bourbon Whiskey. Very tasty indeed.

That reminded me of a funny, classic Lemmy story. I read that upon landing in Europe for a show one time, he told his driver to find the nearest liquor store. He went in, bought a two liter bottle of pop and a fifth of Jack Daniels. As he left the store, he poured about 3/4 of the pop out on the ground, replaced it with the entire fifth of Jack, and proceeded to drink the entire thing….all before going on stage! The stuff of legends!

8 ’80s Metal Albums Everyone Should Own

Metallica released Master of Puppets on March 3, 1986, and years later, it remains one of metal’s most iconic masterpieces.

In honor of its anniversary, we take a look back on that album, as well as other ’80s metal albums we think everyone should own.

The list in the gallery below also doubles as a convenient “metal starter kit” (if you will) for the youths dipping their toe into metal for the first time, because frankly, someone has to think about the children.

Meltdown started on the mighty WRIF on the evening of Halloween, 1995. Technically, his first on-air shift was the morning of November 1st. Moving to the Motor City from Buffalo, N.Y., he has built a career and family. Over his almost three-decade stint at RIFF, he's had the privilege to work with some of the biggest personalities in Detroit radio history. He boasts of being just the second-afternoon drive jock in the station's illustrious 53-year history. Along with his love for rock music and attending concerts, he's also an avid Harley-Davidson enthusiast and hockey player. He plays year-round and manages to squeeze in a few charity games throughout the year. Meltdown writes about the Detroit Red Wings, rock music, and Detroit concert venues.
