Motorhead Urge Fans Not Buy Their Box Set

Motörhead are encouraging fans NOT to buy their new box set, which would set them back more than $600.

Frontman Lemmy Kilmister is apparently “incensed” about the new purchase. Entitled “The Complete Early Years”, it includes 15 discs along with band pins, posters and a photo book. The box-set was recently released by by PID, which owns rights to the band’s early recordings.

“Unfortunately greed once again rears its yapping head” stated Kilmister. “I would advise against it even for the most rabid completists! Motörhead have no control over what’s done with these early songs, and don’t want fans to think that the band is involved in putting out such a costly box set.”
