Watch This Robot Cover Band Play Motorhead's 'Ace of Spades'

Compressorhead, the all-robot cover band, gives new meaning to the term "heavy metal."

The group consists of three robots playing drums, guitar and base. Compressorhead has performed heavy metal classics such as AC/DC's "TNT" and Pantera's "Becoming."

This week, a new video surfaced on YouTube of the band performing "Ace of Spades" by Motorhead, which has since been viewed more than half a million times.

Sure, the band is a little rough around the edges. For starters, there's no singer to capture the grit of Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister, and the robot playing bass -- his name is Bones -- could show a little more enthusiasm.

Stickboy the drummer, however, is clearly the star of the show with four "arms" that puts any flesh-and-blood drummer to shame. Not far behind is Fingers, the aptly named guitarist, with 78 "fingers," some mean boots and a whole lot of swagger.

This is one act that would be tough for anyone to follow -- even the real Motorhead.
