Earlier this year, MOTÖRHEAD was able to temporarily halt the release of a new box set, called "Complete Early Years " by a company who holds the rights to the band's early recordings .

Apparently their luck has run out and the box set, which will set you back $600, is scheduled for release next week. MOTÖRHEAD mainman Lemmy wants to make sure fans are completely aware that the band has no control over what's done with their early material, and that they have no involvement whatsoever in releasing such an expensive product.

He said: " It really bothers me that these people would put this out at these prices especially in this day and age, when money is tight. There you go again labels, trying to squeeze out every last dime you can from our fans, overcharging the customers with outrageous pricing, and basically trying to rape our fanbase. Although we still make money from record sales, this is not the way I ever intended it. I don't like to see fans getting ripped off or taken advantage of. And that's what's happening here."

Man, the only thing more badass than Motorhead is Motorhead, paired with RECKLESS DRIVING!
