Summary
Beer Drinkers and Hell Raisers is the first book to celebrate the classic-era Motörhead lineup of Lemmy Kilmister, "Fast" Eddie Clarke, and Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. Through interviews with all of the principal troublemakers, Martin Popoff celebrates the formation of the band and the records that made them legends: Motörhead, Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades, No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, and Iron Fist. An in-depth coda brings the story up to date with the shocking recent deaths of Taylor and Kilmister.
Motörhead comes to life in this book as bad-luck bad boys - doused in drink and drugs, most notably speed - incapable of running their lives right save for Fast Eddie, who is charged with holding things together. Popoff also examines the heady climate of music through the band's rise to prominence during the New Wave of British heavy metal, with detailed reflection on Motörhead's unique position in the scene as both originators and embattled survivors who carried on the renegade spirit of those times.

Okay, could be better
A nice collection of interviews. The narrator isn’t great, he mispronounces names, and his accent is very jarring. If you can get passed that, you deserve a medal.

For true fans of Metal.
The book was great id highly recommend for all rock fans.Its tells a great story of the much lived trio of Lemmy,Philthy and fast Eddie and all the superb records of their era of Motorhead.

worth a listen
interesting as a fan of the band but I was hoping for a bit more 'dirt' on how the guys partied and lived from their perspective.
this book is more of a collection of interviews presented as a reference work.
it's about the band not the people in the band.

Brilliant
I was hooked throughout!!! Perfect for any Motorhead fan. Nicely read as well although it would have felt different if it was a British accent.

We are Motorhead and we play Rock n Roll
Great book well researched, covering the "original" line up some nice anecdotes and stories from the band and people connected to them. Livened up with some memorably hilarious mispronounciations , I seriously doubt Phil ever called anyone a "Twot"
