No Picture yomomma!! Wanna Be	#1 by yomomma!! at May 3, 2006 at 2:23 AM EST
	It kicks my ass, that's what it does !!

No Picture Gladis Wanna Be	#2 by Gladis McHumphry at May 17, 2006 at 12:39 PM EST
	Why shouldn't you make it big with a voice like Lemmy's? It's raw power, intensity and honesty. It'd be rather a boring world if everyone sounded like some boyband eunuch.

No Picture james Rhythm Player	#3 by james dobson at Oct 4, 2006 at 2:38 AM EST
	about gambling in general (life, choices, career), not just cards.

No Picture alex Rhythm Player	#4 by alex Smith at Dec 30, 2006 at 10:41 PM EST
	the ace of spades is about political power. It seems pretty obvious to me, and i can't believe you wool-headed idiots, AZA, prison and Humbuck, didn't think of that yourselves. If you know this, you will read the song with a whole different view. The Joker: the fate, the unpredictable happening. Take one look and die: the fact you can undertake nothing. one look: one kind of protest, and the powerfull one (the ace of spades) can and probably will eliminate you. it's a dangerous world outta here, and motorhead knows that very well.
