Speaking on Motörhead and their “Ace of Spades” cover, Pennywise guitarist Fletcher Dragge comments: “Getting into punk rock around 1980, basically the only metal band that was allowed to be part of the punk rock scene was Motörhead, as far as I was concerned. If you saw somebody show up in a jean vest with the Motörhead patch on the back it was like, ‘There’s a metaller, but he can hang with us!’ ‘Ace of Spades’ was the track where you heard that and went, ‘That’s not metal, that’s punk rock!’”
