Going to see Motörhead for the first time

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.

I'm still pis$ed off with Motorhead, they were meant to play here in 2001 but "postponed" after 9/11 and haven't made it here since. :? :?

Would you mean Lemmy? :lol:

some of us are closer to 19 than to 40. :D

IF Louder = Better THEN my point proved.

I still maintain that rock "stars" should be subject to compulsory redundancy at 30 before their hearing is too impaired.
And you know that she's half crazy but that's why you want to be there.

not sure. :?

i lost touch with pete a few years ago - i knew him via a band called beachbuggy, where pete moonlighted as the backing singer (and dogdrill's drummer hug was a former beebug drummer too) but he left beachbuggy andafter that i never saw him again :roll:

ever heard a band called J*R? from leeds? kinda like dogdrill's ikkle brothers mixed with a bit of shellac and jesus lizard. scary stuff :o :lol:

I'm going to see Mr Kilmister and his chums in November at the Hammersmith whaddeveritisthismonth.

Friend of a friend (no really) had a brother who came back from a Motorhead gig with his ears bleeding. And not figuratively, neither.

Anyway the point of this post was simply to say Lemmy: almost 59 and still churning it out, despite numerous big style rows with management and record companies.

And whooooooo claims to be very influenced by our Ian, eh? Yes, you there at the back with the sunglasses and the cheekbones, I’m talking to YOU.

Oh well.

And something tells me that when nothing is left on this planet except nuclear waste
and cockroaches - there'll still be Lemmy -- AE

The good thing is that they don't sell beer at the gig. Beer makes you forget to put in the earplugs.

The bad thing is that they don't sell beer at the gig. I like beer.

It happened to a mate of mine too. But then he did try to stick his head into the bass bins.

isn't Motorhead's motto 'everything louder than everything else'?
