Official Motörhead Ace of Spades Black T-Shirt

Motörhead Ace of Spades T-Shirt - Officially Licensed

Lemmy wrote the lyrics to Ace of Spades in the back of a speeding transit van — gambling references flying, though he'd later admit he actually preferred slot machines to poker. "You can't really sing about spinning fruit," he said. The band adopted the ace of spades as their motif from its history as the battlefield "death card", embracing bad luck because they felt things couldn't get any worse. Philthy Animal Taylor initially thought it was a run-of-the-mill track. He was wrong. Played live 1,159 times, it became the anthem that helped birth thrash metal — and Lemmy kept playing it long after he was sick to death of it, because the fans demanded it. This is that shirt.

The perfect gift for any Motörhead fan — whether you were there for the 1980 album or you came in through the back door via Metallica covering it at the Freddie Mercury tribute.
