![]() For that reason, I feel like Ace of Spades is so special, as it helped rock n’ roll become what it is today as much as it is a great song, and a classic of bar bands to this day.Ģ – Going to Brazil: The song is a perfect soundtrack to anyone going for a trip among single friends, and it certainly is the spirit of Lemmy depicted in the lyrics when the band made the long 12 hour trips from London to Brazil to perform. It’s definitely easier for most singers to perform a cover of Ace of Spades and the low-pitched voice of Lemmy, than the high-pitched, legendary voice of Robert Plant in Stairway to Heaven, for example. To go a little beyond the commercial success, the way Lemmy’s voice sounded made it easier for countless bands to play it.

For the lyrics, he said he "used gambling metaphors, mostly cards and dice-when it comes to that sort of thing, I'm more into the one-arm bandits actually, but you can't really sing about spinning fruit, and the wheels coming down".
