Live Hard Rock & Heavy Metal Albums From The 1980s
Is there a difference between hard rock and heavy metal?
Yes but I suspect that each of us would draw the dividing line somewhere different.
Wikipedia defines hard rock as:
“Hard rock (or heavy rock) is a loosely defined subgenre of rock music which has its earliest roots in mid-1960s garage rock, blues rock and psychedelic rock. It is typified by a heavy use of aggressive vocals, distorted electric guitars, bass guitar, drums, and often accompanied with pianos and keyboards.”
Wikipedia defines heavy metal as:
“Heavy metal (or simply metal) is a genre of rock music that developed in the late 1960s and early 1970s, largely in the United Kingdom and the United States. With roots in blues rock and psychedelic rock, the bands that created heavy metal developed a thick, massive sound, characterized by highly amplified distortion, extended guitar solos, emphatic beats, and overall loudness. Heavy metal lyrics and performance styles are often associated with masculinity, aggression, and machismo.”
As far as I’m concerned this category ranges from excellent to unbearable with plenty of ordinary rock and metal that’s acceptable but not special. It can be too heavy and too loud and the category includes bands that I think are disgusting. Mind you, I like blues rock and even singer songwriters so what do I know?

Motorhead No Sleep Til Hammersmith 1981
No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith is the first live album by hard rock group Motorhead and follows up on the success of the Ace Of Spades single and album. It was recorded at concerts in Leeds and Newcastle in England in March 1981.
This was one of the first albums and groups to make me feel too old. It’s too hard, too heavy, too fast and too raucous for my tastes but there is no denying the impact it has on the development of rock in the eighties as it inspired thrash metal and hardcore.
The leader of Motorhead, Lemmy used to be the bass player in Hawkwind (their live album Space Ritual is work hearing).
