Motörhead released 23 studio albums, 10 live recordings, 12 compilation albums and five EPs over a career spanning 40 years. Usually a power trio, they had particular success in the early 1980s with several successful singles in the UK Top 40 chart. The albums Overkill, Bomber, Ace of Spades and, particularly, the live album No Sleep 'til Hammersmith cemented Motörhead's reputation as a top-tier rock band. The band are ranked number 26 on VH1's 100 Greatest Artists of Hard Rock. As of 2016, they have sold more than 15 million albums worldwide.
Most often classified as heavy metal, Motörhead has been credited with being part of and influencing numerous musical scenes, thrash metal and speed metal especially. Lemmy, however, always insisted that they were a rock and roll band. He said that they had more in common with punk bands, but with their own unique sound, Motörhead is embraced in both punk and metal scenes. Their lyrics typically covered such topics as war, good versus evil, abuse of power, promiscuous sex, substance abuse and, most famously, gambling, the latter theme being the focus of their hit song "Ace of Spades".
Lemmy died on 28 December 2015 from cardiac arrhythmia and congestive heart failure, after being diagnosed with prostate cancer. The day after his death, drummer Mikkey Dee and guitarist Phil Campbell both confirmed that Motörhead had disbanded. By 2018, all three members of Motörhead's best-known line-up (Lemmy, Taylor and Clarke) had died.

Pay Your Price
Motörhead Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hey
Move out, it's time for someone else
Quit thinking only of yourself
You're really a nasty piece of work, you know you thought you was a hero
But you're really just a jerk
On my way, you know I won't pay your price
Gonna stick my finger in your eye
You don't deserve my admiration, and I'll sling you through a window if you give me aggravation
On my way, you know I won't pay your price
Listen
I'm tired o' listenin' to crap
I'd rather stab you in the back
I'm telling you the only real reason that you ain't got it yet is 'cause skunk is outta season
On my way, you know I won't pay your price
Shut the door behind you when you go
Why you're still here, I really don't know
I'm gonna count up to three and if you're still here then I'm gonna blow away your knees
On my way, you know I won't pay your price
Your price, yeah
Your price
Your price
The song "Pay Your Price" by Motörhead is a furious and aggressive track that showcases the band's iconic style of hard rock and heavy metal. The song talks about a person who is fed up with someone who is only thinking of themselves and is a nasty piece of work. The opening lines of the song convey the drunken state of the singer and set the tone for the rest of the track. The lyrics suggest that the person in question considers themselves a hero but is nothing but a jerk in reality.
The chorus of the song "On my way, you know I won't pay your price" is a statement of intent where the singer states that they will not put up with the behavior of the person and refuse to pay their price. The song speaks about the anger and frustration of the singer towards the person, and they don't hesitate to use violence to get rid of them. They threaten to stick their finger in their eye, sling them through a window, or blow away their knees if they don't leave. The lyrics suggest that the person has been giving the singer a lot of trouble, and they are tired of it.
In summary, "Pay Your Price" is a song about standing up for oneself and not tolerating bad behavior from others. The lyrics are fierce and intense, reflecting the band's hard-hitting style.

@jackmioff100
Fuckin LOVE Ed's solo in this one- lots of players would play it faster or flashier, but it's Ed's ATTITUDE- listen to how he's hitting the strings- like he's punching someone in the face.
Pure aggression- you can't teach that.
