Product Description

This is the first fully comprehensive box set collection covering motörhead’s entire career from 1975-2002. The first box set to be issued with full band approval. The track list was compiled in association with the band and fan club. It contains a new 12,000 word essay by Classic Rock editor and famed heavy metal journalist Mick Wall. It also features many rare recordings of motörhead classics including 19 previously unreleased tracks. It contains a lavish, 60 page booklet featuring rare and unpublished photos and memorabilia from the motörarchives. The set contains a full colour replica tour poster and a motörhead button. The cover art features a newly commissioned painting by long time motörhead artist Joe Petagno.

Simply put, this is the one. This is the authoritative career-spanning overview that Motörhead fans have been waiting for. When Lemmy Kilmister, uh, left Hawkwind in 1975 (he was axed), he dreamed of doing, in his words, "the British version of the MC5, simple as that." Of course, his little "fast and vicious" outfit made quite a name for themselves, and this set celebrates the group in all of its testosterone-fueled glory. With 99 tracks spread over five CDs, Stone Deaf Forever offers a glimpse of every single phase of the band's evolution from punk-metal burners to plodding metal gods--every album and every lineup is represented. (The classic trio incarnation--Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and "Philthy Animal" Taylor--is responsible for more than a disc and a half's worth of the material.) There are 19 previously unreleased cuts, mostly tracks recorded for BBC sessions (and there's also the famous bootleg of Chuck Berry's "Nadine"). Disc five is all live recordings, which has the added benefit of Lemmy's concert banter ("this one is about Los Angeles, I wrote it in England, I was thinking about Italy"). Featuring Lemmy's involvement every step of the way, Stone Deaf Forever is a definitive introduction for newcomers and, thanks to the terrific rarities, a gift for hardcore fans as well. Throw in the perfectly executed 60-page booklet--with notes by Mick Wall--and you have a wonderful survey of one of the most unique and exciting performers in hard-rock history. --Marc Greilsamer

This is simply the best collection of MOTORHEAD/Lemmy possible. Better than "No Remorse" (and it's a great collection), better than "The Best of Motorhead" and better than anything else they've released. This set has ALL of their essential jams as well as great pics and a nice live disc. I know it's a bit pricey, but you won't be disappointed. Highly recommend!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Warts And All...
Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2003
Over the past 28 years, not much has changed in the Motorhead camp except for an ever-revolving lineup of drummers and guitarists, the only constant being the bright blaze of glory that is Lemmy, attached to a drip-feed of drugs and nymphets, his nicotine-laced growl still spitting venom. Nearly three decades after their debut single was released by Stiff Records of all people, the band continue to strut with conviction, safe in the knowledge their songs are seminal. To paraphrase what fellow Amazon reviewer (...) says about absolute values existing in art, there is mere heavy metal and there is Motorhead. If you don't know the difference, you should probably be lining up for the new Godsmack album.
"Stone Deaf Forever" attempts to do the impossible: capture the beer-soaked racket of Motorhead's concussion bomb skronk in the space of just five discs. While career-spanning compendiums like this one usually lose the plot to some degree, Sanctuary/Castle has actually done a pretty decent job. It's nice to see an entire disc devoted to the band's nascent years of 1975-1980, when it was still unclear if they were punks or rivetheads (to be honest, it's still unclear), especially material from their eponymous debut album like "White Line Fever" and "The Watcher," although it would have been nice to have their seedy, soiled cover of old rockabilly chestnut (via The Yardbirds) "Train Kept' A Rollin'". On the other hand, the Hawkwind version of "Motorhead" is a nice touch.
Motorhead's glory years were those with the Mark II lineup of Lemmy, Fast Eddie Clarke, and Phil Taylor (the original band consisted of Lemmy, guitarist Larry Wallis, and drummer Lucas Fox) and it shouldn't surprise anyone that most of the first two discs are packed to bursting with the cracked fury of Clarke's cholesterol-laden riffs and Taylor's ultra-crude drumming, all overlaid with Lemmy's alpha male caterwauling, damaging grey matter and rocking mightily along the way. Somebody at Sanctuary/Castle has apparently done their homework, heroically picking the best chewy bits from the "Ace Of Spades," "Overkill," "Bomber," and "Iron Fist" albums, although (small quibble) the burning wreckage of "Love Me Like A Reptile" and "Jailbait" are conspicuously absent.
The post-Fast Eddie years are also given their due and there's something strangely charming about Lemmy never losing sight of his twisted vision of bone-shaking, amphetamine-fuelled singalongs with enough squalid integrity to turn your hair white overnight despite a decided lack of dedication on the part of several of his mates. Besides all of the hearty blastarama from albums like "Another Perfect Day," "Orgasmatron," "1916," "Bastards," and "Snake Bite Love," "Stone Deaf Forever" manages to find room for a number of rarities, BBC and Peel sessions, soundtrack tunes, and an entire disc of live and bootleg tracks covering 1978-1999, when Lemmy and the boys tread the boards with enough swashbuckling swagger and macho bluster to send fathers the world over to quarantine their daughters.
"Stone Deaf Forever" is that rare entity in box sets - a fitting introduction to the band as well as a treasure trove that rewards the faithful. The packaging is above average, including a tremendous 60-page booklet full of photos, memorabilia, old reviews, and an essay by veteran journo Mick Wall (always a plus in the Paull household). More importantly, however, is that in 2003, with rock and roll little more than lies and distorted realities, it's an opportunity to grab onto something real like Motorhead and wallow in their primordial energy. Bring on the apocalypse - Lemmy, Keith, and a bunch of cockroaches are hosting the party.

5.0 out of 5 stars Finally! A complete, career-spanning Motorhead compilation
Reviewed in the United States on October 20, 2003
Motorhead has finally hit an Ace (of Spades) with this 5 disc box set that is beautifully detailed, sonically sound superior and masterfully done! Right now there are about 3 dozen assorted or different compilations out there on the market (ranging from countless best-of's, alternate versions, A-sides/B-sides, on and on). Over the years, I held myself back and just patiently waited for a box set. And now my wish has come true!
This box set includes 99 songs either in live or studio form! And don't worry, none of these 99 songs repeat themselves, and like some box sets have a tendency of making an error like including a live, unreleased version of Ace of Spades over the studio version, you do not have to worry about that here.
The first 4 CD's mainly concentrate on the studio input the band recorded. All their best ever songs are included, including stuff from 1975 with the original line-up, about 3-4 songs from each and every studio album are included! That's right, from Motorhead in 1977, Bomber and Overkill in 79, Ace of Spades 80,
Iron Fist 81, Another Perfect Day in 83, Orgasmatron 86, Rock and Roll 87, and so on through Hammered in 2002. All the albums are covered!!! Really this set in unbelieveable!!!
This set is advertised as containing 19 previously unreleased tracks, but they are mostly all live tracks. Many taken from BBC from 78, or 80, and there are a few live tracks never before heard, but that is it. Now, for many of us, there are many many hard to find tracks here, like soundtrack cuts (Hellraiser 3), pre-Motorhead album tracks, album B-sides, and etc. Alot of these I have never ever heard, and they are all previously unreleased to me, so that's even an added bonus.
As for the last disc (CD5), it is all live material. Many of the lesser known songs are here live, all taken from past Motorhead live releases (81's No Sleep, 89's No Sleep at All, Birthday Party, Everything Louder, etc.). Like I previously stated there are a few previously unreleased live cuts, that's it.
In conclusion, this box set it a dream come true for me. I am not a hardcore Motorhead fan, but I do love alot of their albums, and for 50 bucks, this should be enough Motorhead for a lifetime (maybe eventually turning into a hardcore Lemmy-head).
Although this may be a career-spanning greatest hits album spanned across 5 disc with not too much unreleased stuff on it, I do not view it that way. Yes, on the surface that's what it may appear to be, but if anyone knows anything about Motorhead, they've been on about 600 different labels since 1975, and for a career-spanning release like this to ever see the light of day, it is truly an unreleased boxset!!! Warts and all!!!! Long Live Lemmy!!! And thank you Lemmy for this wonderful box set, it is a dream come true!

Reviewed in the United States on October 8, 2008
47yrs old, grew up with Motorhead all around me. Saw Motorhead two times live as a backup band. Grew up with Black Sabbath, Judas Priest, Rush, Nugent, and the Punk movement (Sex-Pistols). Never bought a Motorhead album, or listened to the band at all. But the last time I saw them (with Heaven & Hell (Sabbath), and Judas Priest) they did Orgasmatron. I was hooked on the sound, but didn't know what song it was so I started researching until I found the song that had been stuck in my head. I decided to purchase their latest (Motorizer) and was HOOKED. Two weeks of constant listening and I bought STONE DEAF FOREVER. This is SO AMAZING. I can't imagine how I have not heard or lived without this important piece of work for so many years. Songs like : Motorhead (Hawkwind version), Lost Johnny, White Line Fever, are awesome. But later stuff: BROKEN, Overkill, Stay Clean, Bomber, Stay out of Jail, Joy of Labour, We are the Road Crew, Brave New World. OMG! This album set is life changing. Ladies and gentlemen, this is NOT the Journey show!

WOW, what a collection. I purchased this when it was first released and I am still listening to it today. Too bad they never hit it in the states, the songs are as catchy as any Ramones song and heavier than Metallica.

Other great box sets: Bowie (Sound and Vision), Judas Priest (Metalogy), Sabbath (Black Box)

I have ALL Motorhead albums, incudling rare ones from the beginning, and this boxset is a gem, outstanding in a really large discography. Some kind of best of, but also lots of (mostly live) material you cannot find elsewhere, and even the booklet alone would be worth it on its own. I would be tempted to write "if you get only one Motorhead", buy this one ... but then you would want to buy all the others. It was one of the best bands in the W"orld, period. Lemmy R.I.P.
