''Nö Sleep at All'' is the second official live album by the British band Motörhead, following 1981's ''No Sleep 'til Hammersmith''. It was recorded on 2 July 1988 at a Giants of Rock Festival performance in Hämeenlinna, Finland. ==History== Motörhead and their record label GWR disagreed over the choice of a single from the album; the band wanted to release "Traitor", which had appeared on their most recent LP ''Rock 'n' Roll'', while the label argued for the Motörhead classic "Ace of Spades". This led to a lawsuit and a parting of the ways. In the book ''Overkill: The Untold Story of Motörhead'', author Joel McIver sums up the band's perilous situation: :For much of 1988 and 1989, the road continued to be Motörhead's home, simply because they had no other option. Although headbangers continued to flock to their shows and the band played with as much venom as ever, it was clear in retrospect that the record industry and Motörhead were never likely to see eye to eye. The last few years had been plagued with logistical difficulties, with the last remaining refuge the tour bus. Guitarist Würzel is quoted in the insert of the re-mastered CD release, saying; "A lot of fans were saying that they want to hear this line-up on a live album. EVERYBODY seems to record at the Hammersmith Odeon don't they? Or the Fillmore East when that was going, or the Budokan and all those flash places. So we thought we'd do it in Finland". To promote the album, the band engaged in a tour of North America, opening for Slayer.〔 Lemmy admits that the album was a mistake and failed sales-wise, but considers it to be "all right" and believes it was the mix that let them down,〔Kilmister, Ian and Garza, Janiss ''White Line Fever'' (2002) — Simon & Schuster p. 211. ISBN 0-684-85868-1.〕 explaining: "We had Guy Bidmead mix it because we wanted to give him another try, mainly because he had been Vic Maile's boy and Vic was a great live mixer. After that, I think we finally figured out that Guy just wasn't Vic Maile. Don't get me wrong, though —after all I've said about Guy, it was only 'cause he was taking orders from us. He was too nice! Vic knew when to tell us to shut the fuck up!".〔 EMI Greece pressed a 7" vinyl called "Live in Athens", featuring "Metropolis (Acropolis)", it was shrinkwrapped to the first 1,000 copies of the ''Nö Sleep at All'' album. The songs had been taped for the Greek ''Antenna Metal Show'', for which Lemmy retitled "Metropolis" to suit the occasion. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Nö Sleep at All」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
