The band are often considered a precursor to the new wave of British heavy metal, which re-energised heavy metal in the late 1970s and early 1980s. Though several guitarists and drummers have played in Motörhead, most of their best-selling albums and singles feature drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor and guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke. From 1995 until the band's breakup in 2015, the group consisted of Lemmy, Mikkey Dee (drums) and Phil Campbell (guitar).

The trio recorded their debut album for release on United Artists, although it was not released until 1979 as On Parole.
