Motorhead - Sept 11th

Recommended Posts

One evening, week before Christmas, around 15 years ago.

I was shopping for presents for the kids at a ToysRUs in the Chicago suburbs. A guy with long hair was the only other person in the aisle, and he asked me in a London accent what I know about Tyco cars. So in my London accent I told him what I knew.

So we got to talking and he said he was visiting his sister who lived around there and he was getting presents for her family. Talked some more and it got around to what we did. So I'm a professor and I teach engineering ... He said he played in a rock band but he doubted that I had heard of it but my kids may have (he was correct). So, blah blah blah etc, and his name was Michael but he's known as Wurzel...

The only sure way to survive a canopy collision is not to have one.

Now departed from the dear old 'Head. Actually playing occaisionally with a friend of mine's band nowadays.

IMHO, Motorhead just never looked or sounded right as a four piece. For those of you that aren't going, or are not familiar with the world's greatest rock band, just stick your head inside a jet engine for 40 minutes to recreate the experience of a full red-eyed Motorhead gig.

Then go buy an overpriced T-Shirt.

Ha, Ticketmaster just replied. got my tix for the main floor, unreserved. no seats. Perfect.

What is the line up for Motorhead now? Is Fast Eddie playing guitar with them? I wish I was a little closer to the West Coast. It would be nice to show up and get Killed by Death.

It's Lemmy, Phil Campbell on guitar, and Mikkey Dee on Drums. I saw this line up last year and they were the best I've ever seen them. Mikkey Dee is one of the best drummers I've seen anywhere, period. Phil Campbell been with them for the last 20 odd years.

They are playing your way probably. Check out http://www.imotorhead.com for current tour dates.
