15. Terminal Show
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spOabIgcxlE Motörhead know how to kick off an album in style and "Terminal Show" signals the arrival of 2004's Inferno with a scorched earth policy of brain-searing intensity. Built around a gloriously retro thrash metal riff that wouldn't have sounded out of place on Metallica's Kill 'Em All album, and backed by a blazing guest appearance by guitar virtuoso Steve Vai (Frank Zappa, David Lee Roth, Whitesnake), Motörhead tear through this punk metal stormer as if they have everything still to prove, an admirable attitude considering this furious little ditty can be found on Motörhead's 18th effort. Never ones to let a song outstay its welcome "Terminal Show" is like a Bruce Lee one inch punch; you won't see it coming, it's over virtually before it began and it leaves one hell of a mark. "Terminal Show" is modern day Motörhead at their most punishing and most incendiary.

I love Heavy Metal, and generally anything that involves a guitar and loud noises, so I figured it was about time I put all the useless information in my head to good use and start writing a few things. Most of the time I'll be writing nonsense but occasionally I may surprise myself and appear half-way knowledgable.....but you can be the judge of that. Thanks for your fleeting attention!
