Motörhead are an iconic British speed/ heavy metal band. The name was derived from a slang term for an amphetamine user. Founded by ex- Hawkwind bassist Lemmy Kilmister in 1975, the band specialises in songs that are extremely loud to the unaccustomed listener. This is reflected in the title of one of the band's live albums, Everything Louder Than Everyone Else.
While the band are typically classified as heavy metal or speed metal, Kilmister has refused such labels, preferring to describe Motörhead's style as " rock and roll".
