EXPLOSION! I am so happy to see that people are finally really starting to use this
list! I found this weeks forum to be absolutely fascinating.
First, on to some business... The response to the idea of compiling our own tribute album has met with overwhelming
response. I say WE DO IT! I need a bit of time to compile some rules for submission and guidelines on songs.
Thanks to Ben for his suggestions (see below), I am sure they will be the foundation our rules. As part of Next Level,
we have a full, 24 tracks recording studio at our disposal. We should be able to use that to mix down and combine the
tracks for the offering. I'll keep you informed.
Second, I got the opportunity to speak to Lemmy's manager about the Hawkwind reunion that
never came to be. It seems that Lemmy agreed to do the show FOR FREE. The
promoter was being stupid and expected Lemmy to endure silly travel arrangements just so
that the promoter could save a few bucks. In the end, Lemmy is pretty accommodating,
but he does ask for a few things, like the airport to be closer than an eight hour drive
from the venue. Anyway, everything happens for a reason.
As some of you know, I am also a regular columnist in Metal Edge magazine. I write a
column called WEB SPOTLIGHT that features reviews on web sites for a different band in
every issue. As a result of being a writer for Metal Edge, I end up getting my
issues about three weeks before they hit the news stands. The latest one (out on
Sept 23) has a news bit saying that Lemmy is going to be in a new movie! Here is the
text from Metal Edge:
Sebastian Bach will appear with Lemmy Kilmister, Joey Ramone and William Shatner in a dark comedy/horror movie called Final
Rinse, "About a psycho bald guy who is jealous of long-haired rockers for stealing all the good looking women," says Sebastian,
who plays one of the stabbed and scalped victims (so do Lemmy and Joey). "It's very comic book. It's going to be fun!".
Well, that is it for another week of Overnight Sensation. Thanks again to you all.

Subject: os: motorhead in movies
I saw the one post last week where Morohead has taken part in a movie. Didn't Motorhead
and Lemmy star in Eat the Rich as well? (They wrote the soundtrack to it, didn't they?)
I have an observation of my own. Movies in which characters wear motorhead
t-shirts! I've seen at least two movies where two characters wore a Motorhead shirt.
One was in "Outbreak"-the guy is driving in a car with loud metal music
on (motorhead?) and the other was Antonio Banderas sitting outside at a coffe table in the
movie "Assassins". It was definitely a motorhead shirt, but maybe it wasn't
Banderas. I know there was a third movie, but the title has slipped my mind.
This could be an interesting game, seeing how many movie characters wear Motorhead
shirts. Just an idea.

Subject: os: lemmy's 50th birthday party
Hi Ace!
Just recieved my first issue (#10) of OS, although I've been into Motorhead since about
1984. I was wondering if you would know where I could get a video of Lemmy's 50th birthday
party in L.A. in Decomber of 1995. It was in a very small club but still I somehow managed
to to get in, and let me tell you it was absolutely the best gig I ever saw. After a set
by local band Demolition Pit, out comes Metallica dressed as Lemmy doing a set of
Motorhead songs, followed of course by a set by THE band. I noticed whole thing was
professionally videotaped but my usual sources have failed to turn up a copy. Know where I
can score one?
**Editor: I have seen it some of the bootleg lists I see kicking around... maybe a
OS subscriber can help you out...

Hey MHB's! For those of you who are unfamiliar with the impending release (Sep.16!) of the Motorhead King Biscuit Flour Hour
cd, here's the deal: It was recorded in New York in 1983 at La Mour's, on the Another Perfect Tour, featuring the Lemmy/Philthy/Robbo
lineup. It aired on KBFH 11/13/83. The vinyl radio show version is a two record set w/Motorhead only on one side of the four.
(Krokus, amazingly, was given two sides w/the final side blank!) Needless to say it is also extremely collectable. The set
list, as it were, was "Back At The Funny Farm", "Tales Of Glory", "Marchin' Off To War", and "I Got Mine", all of which,
of course, from the brilliant, underrated Another Perfect Day album. Here's hoping the cd offers more than four songs!

Dear Ace ,
I am in a band called Notorious Grumble from New Jersey , USA . We are former members of
Godspeed and are very heavy punk with DOA and Motorhead thrown in . We are on the mighty
Headache Records right now and are talking to Flipside about doing something for them . We
would be very interested in sending something in for a tribute - we did Sabbath Bloody
Sabbath with Bruce Dickinson . Our only problem would be paying for studio time out of our
own pockets .
Please reply and we'll send you a press kit . Thanks for the great Motorhead page !!

A couple of things:
1, is it just me or is Lemmy having problems with the bass in every single damn show on
that tour with WASP? I am adding Boston and Providence to the shows where Lemmy had his
bass go dead. 2,Why is it that Motorhead is always on tour with good bands outside the US
(Cathedral, in England, for example) and mediocre/bad bands in the US ('94 Sabbath, WASP)?
3, I have a Sony MHC-C405 stereo and I can't play any Castle remastered Motorhead albums.
On every single one of the remastered albums I get, the stereo decides to add an annoying
sound that can only be described as electrified, overdriven maccara. Of course, my stereo
also does this to 1/3 of the CDs I have. Does anyone else have this problem? 4, To the
person in Canadialand who says there isn't a lot of imports there: What are you talking
about? I was at the HMV in Toronto a few months ago and that place has every single band I
have ever heard of, including those on John Perez's Brainticket label. Their metal section
takes up about 1/4 of the store. I know Canadialand isn't exactly a small country, but if
you're anywhere near Toronto, go to 333 Younge street. It'd probably be worth your while.
5, Great idea, this tribute album. I'd contribute as soon as we get our acts together and
I figure out how playing electric guitars differ from playing classical ones.

Well if anybody is really interested in a Motorhead tribute album, we would love to be included. Over the last 10 years
we have done a number of motorhead covers including: Orgasmatron, Killed by death, Locomotive, Burner, Ace of Spades,
Deaf forever, Hellraiser... the list goes on and on. In fact the first song I ever played way back when was the Motorhead
cover of Loui Loui later followed the Motorhead cover of Beer drinkers and hellraisers.
Hell my band members still make fun of me at sound checks cuz I fiddle with my bass sound
untill I get the first part of Ace of Spades to sound just right, then I know Im ready to
go.
Anyhow, we would love to be part of any Motorhead tribute album, and in a shameless self

Subject: os: motorhead fans
Reading John the lawyer's post prompted me to submit my own.
I disagree with his assessment of the "typical" Motorhead fan. I, too, am
a lawyer who is a huge Motorhead fan. I agree with Ace that a substantial number of
Motorhead fans are musicians, but certainly not the majority. Of those who are not
musicians, I find them to be an incredibly diverse. I went to the recent show with
Wasp with a doctor. Shortly after Overnight Sensation came out, I went with a
doctor, a property manager, an engineeer for Intel, a business executive, etc. Next
to us were three engineers. And yes, there were mechanics, truck drivers, bikers, etc.
But there seems to be one constant amongst us all -- an attitude. The advertisements for Bastards summed it up well:
Motorhead is more than music. It's a way of life. As the Chicago Sun Times wrote in its review of the Sacrifice
show, Motorhead epitomizes what Rock & Roll (it's not metal, thrash or anything else) is supposed to be about.
It's rebellion and the fight for freedom to be yourself.
Green Day, Pearl Jam, Nirvana, etc., are essentially dead, so perhaps it's unfair to pick
on them. But that entire few year craze was about complaining, talking about how the
world sucks and GIVING UP. No solutions were offered, because it supposedly was
hopeless. The tragic live of Kurt Cobain is a good example.
Motorhead, though, is about never giving up. When society knocks you on your ass --
and it will -- you got to get back up and kick it in the balls. Beat it at its own rules.
Motorhead is about being human and having real feelings and living in a real world
and doing the best we can given our circumstances WITHOUT GIVING UP!!
Lemmy isn't god; he's a human as we are. I drove 350 miles and they didn't show up at Metal Mania VII in Milwaukee;
some folks drove to the Hawkwind show; my buddy won the VIP Pass off the official web site for the first Overnight Sensation
show in town and then we got stiffed. She was crushed, to say the least (and yes, Ace, you promised to send her various
stuff from the band and never did). I suppose one should never aspire to meet those whom you admire, for your bubble may
get burst.
Motorhead's message as perceived by me and many others, regardless of whether it is
intentional, has remained the same for over 20 years now. This is already too long and I
won't analyze lyrical passages, interviews, etc., but I believe Motorhead has always stood
for the same thing. And that is why rock & roll got popular and so many parents
hated it.
Enough for now. I have been a Motorhead fan since 1983, but my favorite stuff is
from this decade; 1916, Bastards and Overnight Sensation. I have seen them
live too many times to count in various cities around the U.S., and some shows were better
than others. I have about 85 different Motorhead CDs and am always searching for
others.
Keep up the great work ACE. I'm sorry if I overstayed my welcome.
Don
**Editor: Wow! First off, I want to thak you for summing up almost exactly how
many of us feel about the diversity of fans that follow Motorhead. I myself, if the
truth be told, and a Associate Publisher at a magazine company during the day and a
co-owner in Next Level Productions at night.
I also wanted to address your comment about the free stuff that Mary never got. To explain to the rest of you, when
Motorhead went on tour for Overnight Sensation, the band and management approached us and said "lets run a contest off the
web site and give-a-way a set of tickets and VIP passes for two at each venue". Sounded great to me. When the
time came for some of the fans to collect their prizes at the venues, some of them were given severe run-arounds. About
ten of the cities (2 American and 8 European) had fans that found themselves being hasseled by security and uninformed road
crews.
Well, when I relayed the stories to the band's management, they were horrified. They
immediately asked me to offer those fans some sort of restitution (signed material, etc).
So, I asked the stiffed fans what they wanted. I relayed that info to the
management and have re-relayed it to them once a month, every month since that happened.
That was almost a year ago. They just don't seem to put any sort of a
prioirty on it. I have offered to mail the material myself if they would just get it
to me, but so far, no avail.
The only thing I can say at this point is that I am sorry. This has been a major
nightmare for me. None of you really know me, but one of my things is that I do not
lie to people. When others put me in that position, I get upset.
I have not given up and will continue to pursue them on Mary's and the others behalfs.
I will keep you updated.

Subject: recollections of a longtime motorhead fan
Who would've thunk that Motorhead would finally take hold of the modern convenience of
cyberspace technology??? Well, I must say that it is about time. I have been
following these guys for many years and have had some very, very memorable experiences
with many members of their revolving rotation of a lineup. I have been reading this new
project for some time and figured that I was past due for a submission. I have had
the very good fortune of seeing Motorhead 7 times and meeting them 5 times. Let me
tell you all that they have never been anything less than perfectly friendly and courteous
to me and anyone else that has had the good luck to be with me at these times.
I first saw them 4/28/87 @ Santa Clara with a totally lame band called the Sea Hags.
I was so desperate to meet this band that I had been listening to for so long that
I ran around to the back of the venue to wait for them, and upon request for some ID, I
promptly grabbed a piece of equipment and loaded it into the moving vans to give the
impression that I belonged there. I met them all, just me and the band, after 2 1/2
hours wait. They were top-notch characters. This was at a time when Phil
Cambell (or whatever he is calling himself today) was not so inclined to become imbibed so
as to not want to have anything to do with fans after lengthy partaking of beverages. Lots
of good memories.
I also saw them on 2/26/88 @ Long Beach w/ Alice Cooper and Faster Pussycat. Great
show! Lemmy acknowledged that "Alice Cooper was the only guy who had the
fuc*ing balls to follow Motorhead!"
I then saw them perform twice in two days on the Operation Rock 'n' Roll tour. First
in Sacramento, CA on 7/13/91 then on 7/14/91 at Mountain View, CA for another real
kick-ass concert. At Sacramento I spotted Wurzel walking around in the crowd with
absolutely NOBODY recognizing him. I went up to him and statrted talking to him.
He was the most friendly bugger that I have ever met in the rock business.
His girlfriend obliged to take some pictues of me with him. They came out
great and are now 8x10's hanging on my wall.
I then saw them @ Santa Barbara, CA on 3/3/94 with Black Sabbath. I met both bands
after the show. I had to hide in bushes to get such a chance. All were very
friendly. Mikkey Dee and I talked at length about hockey and the Olympics.
Sweden had just won it all. My girlfriend really blew it that time. She
was asleep in the car because she didn't think that I would really hook up with them.
I saw them last at Ventura, CA on 8/2/95 and at Hollywood's Universal Theater the next day. These concerts were exceptionally
great. It was strange to see the 'Head w/o Wurzel though. After the concert, my friend and I went to one of their
favorite haunts (which I will not reveal) and lo and behold, Black Sabbath and Motorhead walked in and sat at the table adjoining
ours!!!! What a shock. We all talked for some time, had them autograph our menus which we kept, and Mikkey Dee
even came over to our table and shared our pizza and enjoyed Long Islands with us. Let me tell you all one thing - I have
met Blackie Lawless twice and Motorhead several times. Blackie is an egotistical prick and Lemmy is the coolest creature
to ever slither on this planet. Don't believe the WASP propaganda that you are all being bombarded with. Lemmy's
first concern has always been for Motorhead and their fans.
***Editor question: I would be very happy to pay Motorhead very well for their
services to perform at my wedding. Money is no object. I would provide all
transportation, booze, security (already promised to me by our local police dept.) and
food. I would like to know what the bloke from Scotland finds out from their
management. Please let me know what their conditions are. Keep on rockin' with the
"Head," Jim Taylor
P.S. Yes. I do have a beautiful Motorhead tatoo on my body. I welcome any Motorhead
fans who love ice hockey and the Uncle Lemmster to write to me. I have some song lists
from the aforementioned shows, if anyone's interested.

"Zughiaq" wondered whether a Motorhead tribute album was being planned or not.
Well, I don't know about any new ones, but there is actually already one out! It is called
"Headin' For The North" and was realesed on Pink Honey Records. This tribute
album features Scandinavian bands only and was released to coincide with Motorhead's
20th anniversary in 1995. It has a few good versions and is well worth the money. You may
have trouble getting it on the other side of the Pond, though.
What's all this about the "King Biscuit Flower Hour" release? Could it be the

Here some info on the King Biscuit Flower Hour Cd. It's a new live release recorded at L'Amour East in Queens New York
August 10th 1983. This was a show on the very brief tour with Brian Robertson. The tracks are only from Anther Perfect Day
and an interview with the man himself, recorded sometime after his big birthday bash with Metallica. The set list is, Back
at the funny farm, Tales of glory, Marching off to war, Iron horse/Born to lose, Another perfect day, Shine and I got mine.
As for King Biscuit himself, the radio show debuted on February 18th 1973,
broadcasting big name and new artist's live on radio. This show has a large history behind
it. For more info check out http://www.king-biscuit.com

Well, I just got back to a computer after the summer and read through eight issues of OS.
Good shit. Anyhow, at one point a DIY Motorhead tribute was mentioned.
I've got a home studio and would be ecstatic to put out a cover of the boys.
I do have a couple of suggestions for the project:
1) assign songs to folks so you don't get 1000 Aces;
2) don't allow anyone to cover Ace, because it's already one of the most covered tunes in
the damn world;
3) agree on format for submissions;
4) have mercy on those of us who don't get all the imports and stick to better-known tunes
(or have volunteers for the real arcana); and try to get people to do new versions instead
of slavishly imitating the real thing. Imitation is flattery, but you just can't cop
Lemmy. Like I say, though, it would be an absolute delight. This is the music
that makes us all play, and covering it would... well, it'll get me kicked out of my
domicile, but it would be worth it.

The idea of a tribute to Motorhead is great. I hope you can materialize it. But there have already been 2 "tributes" (as
far as I know). One Lp, out in 1989, called "Welcome to Rock'n Roll Hell: a Tribute to AC/DC and Motorhead", features one
side of Motorhead songs by unkown German bands. More interesting is the CD called "Pink Honey congratulates Motorhead" on
Pink Honey records (ROSACD200) with cover songs by Swedish bands. In the inner notes, they say they wish to get demo tapes
from bands from all around the world in order to make another tribute. But that was about 2 years ago...
The "King Biscuit Flower Hour" was a Rock'n Roll radio show. I have a
transcription disc featuring one show by Motorhead. It was recorded at l'Amour, NY on July
29, 1983 and aired on November 13, 1983. It features 4 tracks from the APD album.
Hopefully the new CD will feature the whole show. Has anybody information about a
scheduled release date?
Concerning the question about the "On Parole" Lp, in my opinion none of the
other releases has a much better sound, even the new EMI CD with the
"remastered" (?) tracks doesn't sound great. But you have to remember in which
conditions it was recorded, and finally released few years later... Anyway, the Cleopatra
CD is a nice item if you can get the limited edition in cloth bag with a badge and great
picture of a "young" Lemmy. And the EMI features 4 very rare versions of
"On Parole", "City Kids", "Motorhead" and "Leaving
Here" (the very first tracks produced by Dave Edmunds). I have seen advertised in
many "internet" shops, a CD called "No Parole". Can somebody tell me
if it's a misspelling, or if there really is a record called "No Parole" in the
US? Thanks.

Hi Ace!
I read in the most recent issue of Overnight Sensation, that you were thinking of putting
together a Motorhead tribute album, and wanted to know if any OS members (who were
musicians in a band) would be interested in contributing. Well, I'm a musician in an
original band called FALLOUT (as a matter of fact I play a Rickenbacker Bass through a
Marshall stack) and we would be HONOURED to do a song for this. I think it's a GREAT
idea!!!
Please let me know the details, when they are finalized.
By the way, Overnight Sensation is awesome!! Keep up the great work!
I personally invite you, and anyone you'd care to tell, to surf by our website, the
address is at the bottom of this message.
