Here's Some Robots Crushing Motorhead's "Ace of Spades"

With apologies to Lemmy.

Rise of the machines indeed. No longer are the robot kind shackled to avant garde composition and pop covers at Chucke E Cheese's. Here we have the robot band Compressorhead--performers in which come courtesy of robot creators Robocross and Kernschrott Robots--performing Motorhead's classic "Ace of Spades." The drums kind of drown a lot of it out but, still, way better than your average high school band, if high school bands in the year 2013 were into Motorhead. Which is some really wishful thinking.

Sound issues aside, it's still way fun to watch the drummer, "Stickboy," goes nuts.
