Honestly, I don't hear these guys mentioned all that often, and you know, that's a shame. While Ozzy is off being a celeb and making an ass of himself, Lemmy is out there being the real deal and rocking harder than anyone else on legs right now.

I endorse Karls opinion but would like it extended to state this Site is lacking Motorhead.

"That was a great time, the summer of '71 - I can't remember it, but I'll never forget it!"

I saw them in Hamburg in 2005 and Lemmy's voice is as gruff and strong as it was 30 years ago. The man himself is an absolute legend and rock icon, and someone who I would love to go on the piss with (although I would most likely end up hospitalised)

However, the majority of their stuff is... a bit too consistent. While it maintains a high quality and never catches teh ghey, theres not much (IMO) to differentiate one album from another, aside from production quality. Just my 2c

Looking forward to seeing them. One of the greatest metal groups of all time and lemmy has and always will remain true to his word.

Yeah Lemmy is the greatest metalhead of ALL TIME. He's in good shape for a man who started as a roadie back in the sixties with the Jimmy Hendrix experience. LEGEND.

I saw them in Dalymount park years ago and they were great(if not a little too loud).

I actually managed to get back stage passes and met Lemmy back there amongst others. He was a real gent, had a quick chat and then he spent most of his time signing autographs for the fans through the fence.

One of the original and best power trios around. Raw dirty riffing and growling at it's best.
Louie Louie!

There is never enough Motorhead. Absolutely cracking band, and Lemmy is one of the sharpest minds in rock, which given the hideous amounts of drugs he's had over the years, is damned impressive. His autobiography White Line Fever is a great read.

Good shout by the Hungus fella!

Straight ahead, no-nonsense rocking. I was big into Hawkwind & remember hearing Motorheads fist album & thinking "jeez he's glad to be rid of keyboard players!"

Always time for Motorhead. I'd really like to see them play but I'm torn between their gig on halloween or heading to galway for the craic, the hardest decision I've had to make all year

ShawnRaven

Always felt that 1916 was a very underrated album and is a must hear, especially those new to Motorhead. No Voices In The Sky and Going To Brazil are absolute gems!

Not to be johnny sensible or anything, but not being able to hear straight for 3 days is not a good thing. Hearing damage is irreversible, and everyone should take steps to protect their hearing. You should wear ear plugs to gigs, because not only will they protect your ears from harmful volumes, ear plugs also act as a filter, making the band sound better.

That's a good point Hungus, and I was actually thinking about this last week when I saw someone wearing ear plugs at a gig, I might have to pick some up sometime. Is there any particularly good type do you know?

djScarey

While taking your point, KH, I am a 30 year attendant of very loud metal concerts. I have yet to meet someone who's ears have been badly damaged by such wonderful activity. I know a wide veteran metal circle who can hear the doctor perfectly well when s/he complains about the state of our relevant livers, tummies, lungs, memory functioning and moshpit backs though!!

No.... after doing it several times I realised that was a good idea.. about a year afterwards I invested in a set of ear plugs, which I still use. Good for sleeping on airplanes too

The best Motorhead (sort of) song I have heard:

Was at Saturday night's gig, brilliant night - and Danko Jones weren't bad either. To be in the presence of an icon; magic. :cool::cool:

one of my favourite Motorhead songs.

Jimmy Bottlehead

Having seen them very recently (wink nod) for the first time, I wasn't sure what to expect... but I was delighted! They were far far better than I expected, and really rocked the place. Could barely understand Lemmy when he spoke, but the guy comes off as a true gent and one of the few front men who make the crowd feel like Motorhead are the lucky ones to be playing for them, as opposed to the usual egotistical superstar attitude.
