![]() ![]() Like I said above, there's a great deal of fully realized songwriting chops on display on Bomber it's got plenty of hooks which are usually just a few simple notes or power chords like in the main riffs of "Lawman" and "Sharpshooter", not to mention the main bassline of "Stone Dead Forever." I feel that it's overall a bit riffier fare than on Overkill, both on these balls-out tracks and on slower ones like "Sweet Revenge", which is much more involved than the bluesier songs Motörhead had done up to this point like "Capricorn." However, it never reaches Sabbath levels of emphatic riffiness (which defined heavy metal music in general), therefore still lending the music the looser, more rock 'n' roll feel that makes this band feel so charming and timeless. One or more of them is likely to be overlooked, and it just so happens that the two more canonically important albums overshadow the one that is the most varied and consistent of the bunch. Herein, though, lies the disadvantage of releasing more than one album in such a short span of time. to be an extremely worthy follow-up album not even a full year later. ![]() Despite this, it doesn't really matter to me that Overkill came first, because Bomber was still ahead of its time for 1979 and showed enough songwriting progression from Lemmy and co. However, having been released in October 1979, it was sandwiched between their two most popular albums. And yet, the more balanced and paced Bomber, seems to be the band's most overlooked early album - a shame, because it's the most essential Motörhead album for my money. In early 1979, Overkill was released and its title track is to this day considered an indispensable influence on speed metal, and in 1980 the band would release the not even remotely overrated Ace of Spades which was the recipe for sheer badassery. ![]() Playing some simple songs will also help with your sense of rhythm and teach you some pieces of musical theory as well as other basics of electric guitar playing, which will guide you greatly through your journey as a guitarist.The New Wave of British Heavy Metal in the early 1980's is commonly thought to be the point at which this loud and larger than life genre of music began to gain steam and become much faster and more aggressive, but one need look no further than the early work of Motörhead (okay, punk is important in the equation too) for a sense of where the increased focus on speed came from. ![]() You will learn and master some crucial techniques along the way, such as bends, hammer-ons, pull-offs, slides, different picking techniques, and many more. Playing some simple tunes will also give you confidence and motivation, which will drive your progress forward. This way, you can build a proper technique while you move on to more complex songs. While any song can be played on an electric guitar, it is better to start with some more straightforward tunes if you are a beginner. Electric guitars offer a more comfortable playing experience with their thinner strings that ease the fingers and smaller necks that provide an easier grip for the fretting hand. Most music enthusiasts start their journey as guitarists with an acoustic guitar, but starting with an electric guitar can be more fun and motivating. ![]()
