  • Awesome Music: Pretty much all of it, but the frontrunners are Blast Tyrant, Robot Hive/Exodus, the self-titled, and Earth Rocker.
  • Black Sheep Hit: "Careful With That Mic"
  • Covered Up: Subverted in a rather odd way, "Electric Worry," is one half cover of Mississippi Fred Mcdowell's "Fred's Worried Blues" and one half original and while it is more likely for people to know about "Electric Worry" and not "Fred's Worried Blues," most people don't really pay attention to anything other than "bang bang bang, vamanos vamanos," thanks to Left 4 Dead, which is not part of "Fred's Worried Blues."
  • Genius Bonus: The lyrics often drop references to history, literature, myth and folklore that would only be clear to an enthusiast.
  • Hilarious in Hindsight: There's a lyric in "The Mob Goes Wild" that mentions "Everybody Move To Canada And Smoke Lots Of Pot". Flash forward to 2018 and cannabis is now legal.
  • Signature Song: Averted for a while. Due to the aforementioned Left For Dead 2 commercial, it was Electric Worry. The band stopped playing the song after a few years. Then while on tour with Motörhead, Lemmy asked why they stopped and they said they were sick of it. Lemmy told them that it was a mistake, it was their "Ace of Spades." They resumed playing it after that.
