Motörhead/ The Damned review in Guardian

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Just back from seeing them in Glasgow with Big Si. I didn't get my ticket till Saturday and I got the very last one in the shop. As for the gig, Girlschool were OK, The Damed were OK - playing their older stuff that I don't know so well and Dave Vanian looking more than slightly like Bono! However Motorhead blew the lid off the place :D Not sure how but they did. Sound was fuzzy, I couldn't hear much of what Lemmy was saying but they just blazed a trail and had the whole place bouncing :notworthy: Needless to say, my ears are still ringing and no doubt will be for the whole of tomorrow. I can live with that :D

Don, sorry we missed you - we didn't bargain on the Laurieston shutting at 11!

Thought The Damned warmed the crowd up nicely.
Motorhead were indeed in fine form - hard to believe Lemmy turns 64 on Christmas Eve. He hasn't aged so much as become fossilised!

Aye, bit of a bummer we've missed one another but I was happy to make the gig - for a while it looked liked I'd spend the gig sitting on the M9. :urff:
You are what you drink - I'm a bitter man!

Aye it was an absolute belter! :D

Next time i'll buy a ticket as soon as they're on sale, and for downstairs. First time i've ever seen a live Drum Solo! :eek:

I guess the Laurieston shut along with several other pubs as it was a thursday night, not the weekend. :|
