Motorhead Live Performance of Ace of Spades at MAYHEM Festival 2012

Venue: Hard Rock Casino Albuquerque Presents The Pavilion Location: Albuquerque, New Mexico, United States Date: July 7, 2012

In July 2012, when Motörhead performed at the Mayhem Festival in Albuquerque, they were riding high on the momentum from their latest album, 'Aftershock,' which was released in October of that year. This live performance was notably intense, showcasing their hard-hitting tracks like 'Ace of Spades,' a song that has become synonymous with the band and their legacy. During this period, Motörhead had solidified their reputation as rock legends, especially with Lemmy Kilmister's iconic presence and unmistakable voice leading the charge. Interestingly, the band's relentless touring style meant that by performing at major festivals like Mayhem, they not only thrilled long-time fans but also introduced their fiery sound to a new generation of metal lovers. Their at-their-best energy in this live recording reflects a career spent unapologetically crafting hard rock and heavy metal anthems.
