Though plagued by adversities, including the death of their bassist in a bus crash, infighting and substance abuse, they survived to became the biggest-selling band in the world. With 100 million records sold worldwide, their...

In an era when rock bands were measured by how 'heavy' they were, no one was weightier than Black Sabbath.

In 'The Ace of Spades', Mot rhead's most famous song, Lemmy, the born-to-lose, live-to-win frontman of the band sang, 'I don't want to live forever'.

From...
