Hello Again Fellow Motorheadbangers!!
Well, I think that I have finally found a new home for the Motorhead webpage. Once
it is set up, you will FINALLY get to hear the tribute.
I have set things up so that I will be doing a new newsletter EVERY friday night from now
on. Hope that helps.
For the winners of the First Anniversary contest... I will be mail out your prizes this
weekend. Thanks for your patience.
More next time...

Howdy Ace,
Your recent Motorhead annecdotes reminded me of a weird New Zealand tour which found the band playing every one horse town
you can imagine. The band I played in were lucky enough to support them in Christchurch. I had been a fan of the Lem since
Hawkwind (when I was just a nipper). The group were drawing crowds of around 300-400 a night and as I was about to
offer commiserations I was shocked to discover they were actually really happy to be drawing that size crowd. "I mean it's
our first time here" quipped Wurzel during the soundcheck. The crew were bragging about getting 158 db front of house with
just the back line Marshalls (PA off!!)
Lemmy was on stage checking his amplifier. I was surpised at how clean he was ...his hair
was freshly washed and his bellbottoms had been ironed!! He hit a chord on his old Ricky
Bass that sounded like the biggest traffic pile up in the world then turned to me and said
" Its not very loud is it??!!?
Cheers
Keep up the good word

Hi Ace,
the music from the tribute album has not been uploadet.
What happened?
A lot of people asked me the same question as well.
Cheers
Jim
**Editor: Thanks for the note Jim. I have published your note here so that I
can address this issue all at once (I have received several questions). It's this
way... my split with Next Level was not what one would class as harmonious. I
uploaded the files and about 2 days later they deleted them. So, some people where
lucky enough to catch the first couple of days, the rest got errors when they tried to
listen. Anyway, this will be resolved shortly when we move Motorhead to it's new
home.

Just a quick note from a concerned OS reader:-
Has anyone else noticed that OS is no longer just a forum for opinions on all things
Motorhead, but contains a growing number of emails which are thinly veiled attacks on
other readers. I agree wholeheartedly with Ace's policy of no censorship, but can't we
just leave out the backbiting and concentrate on writing about the fastest rock 'n' roll
band in the world? There are far too many other dickheads out there who almost make a
living out of shitting on rock music from a great height, without us bitching amongst
ourselves.
Any views on this, Ace?
Rich.
**Concerned Editor: Yes Rich, I agree wholeheartedly with you. It has been a
struggle for me to stick to the "no censorship" policy we all agreed on a while
back. But, there is a great danger of people leaving our little family becasue of
abuse. The reality is that we are here for our mutual love of music, specifically
Motorhead. A further reality is that with the list now surpassing 1100 members,
there are going to be personality conflicts. All I ask is to keep those conflicts
off of the list. We are here to talk serious tunes, not slander.

And your e-mail problem was only one of the problems my story of the OzzFest was forced to
submit to and be thoroughly defeated by. I wrote about three pages (which is starting to
seem like my average post) describing in ridiculous detail pretty much everything that
happened at OzzFest, including how me and three others met Lemmy (and someone name of dayth@juno.com missed meeting him, after waiting about 40
minutes, by going to the bathroom for five minutes). Anyway, I had just finished writing
this monstrosity and pushing the good old Netscape "send mail" button, when, for
no good reason, Netscape performed an illegal operation or some such nonsense and had to
be shut down. I lost everything I wrote. So I reopened Netscape, complained for a
paragraph, and sent it on its way. And now it's not here. So, damned straight I'm saving
this before I send it.
> 1./ Leave it alone, I have to read about this shit everyday.
Don't read newspapers. Don't watch the news on TV either. The whole point of either media
is to control your thought processes. The news reports on subjects most Americans don't
really care about. They completely ignore anything coming from any other country in the
world. (One megadeath in some loser country receives the same media coverage as the death
of some jerk who lives in the suburbs. Remember, megadeath is a word made up for
situations not unlike this.) By not listening to those idiots you don't have to put up
with Di crap or any other kind of crap. Good news: I also hate popular
culture! And America! And ravers! And the Christian Coalition! And smarmy, condescending
kids shows! And scientologists! And that crappy Friends show! And Elvis!

I hate when people tell me "Ignore them and just look out for yourself." (and don't say I just said that about the media,
'cause you know I didn't mean it in that way) The problems in American society are plentiful. Luckily, as humans, we are
naturally endowed with a brain that is able to concentrate on more than one thing at once (Microsoft calls it "multi-tasking").
I think a lot about all the problems we have in this country. Then I think about the far more serious problems people have
in other countries. Shouldn't we think about those people and not how "much" (*coughlittle*) some adulterous British git
meant to us, even though she didn't really benefit us in any way, especially if we're British? And even if we're really patriotic
bastards, can't we think of both? Why solve the problems in America when the rest of the world is being used as America's
toilet (literally, too!)? Why make America heaven on earth (like that's gonna happen ever) when we can fix the whole fucking
world at one time? Well, then, why bemoan the death of a leach on society? See, normally I wouldn't be ranting about
this, but I really, really hate when people say "just drop it. let them worry about it. just take care of yourself." I hate
all this "take care of yourself" shit. I'm fine. Now I'll start trying to educate others. See, it's maddening being the only
sane person in a room full of people. Similarly, it's maddening being one of the few people in an entire city that has any
idea at all what's going on. Forget fixing the problems in America. We can fix world hunger right now. There's enough food
in the world. In fact, there's more than enough food for everyone. America just doesn't want to give it away because that
looks bad. Why don't we concentrate on that? I say we should stop bitching about the dead princess. Yeah, she's dead. And
our lives are no richer for her having lived. The thing is, there are many more important matters. I say it's not people
like me that should be told to forget it and move on, it's those that are still carping over her. Those are the ones that
should move on.
Anyway, unless something truly stupid comes through in the next issue
this is the last you'll hear from me on the matter (chances of something stupid coming
through: fairly high, considering Ace's mail troubles).
By the way, if anybody knows who Roy Cohn was (or foolishly thinks they can guess) tell
me. Whoever gets it right gets nothing but the satisfaction in the knowledge of an obscure
figure in American history well-named. My friends can't answer 'cause I've probably
already told you. Unless I haven't. You can specify that in your e-mail. Shut-up, me, I
can't stand any more of your poorly thought-out, mediocrely-written ravings. Go listen to
Motorhead in your air-conditioned room.
--
And that little boy who nobody liked grew up to be..... Roy Cohn. And now you know the rest of the story.
**Editor: Well, I'm glad there was some mention of Motorhead in there :-)

>I've been a lemmy head for several years after first "discovering" him and
Motorhead in the film "Eat the Rich." Saw 'em twice, fucking great, the
real thing. I finally found a copy of Bastards and was AMAZED at "Don't let
Daddy Kiss Me". What an incredible song! The acoustics, singing,
beautiful leadwork, razor sharp lyrics, and sheer POWER of the arrangement: absolutely
fantastic! I love the other stuff, but this album is phenomenal, and also the only
one wif Wurzel, Zoom and Mikkey Dee, besides a few cuts on Sacrifice. I'm surprised
it's so hard to find, I think it's my favorite along wif Sacrifice. Keep up the good
work OS!!

listening to Bastards with Lemmy and him giving me his views on each track, specifically
that one.

Subject: os: dauwpop festival
Hello all you MH-Bangers, I
went to the Dauwpop Festival in Hellendoorn (The Netherlands) in May this year. It
was really great! I have been to 5 concerts up till now, last year October I went to
Brixton in Great Brittain to see them. Also a smashing gig! In
Hellendoorn I was almost picked out of the crowd, you must no, I don't like
stagediving. So I always stay in front of the stage (first row) but to the right. No
need for stagedivers to piss me off there, one would think. But for the third time
someone put his foot in my face and I got really mad. I got hold of his shirt
and tried to smash his kidneys. Well, security did not approve of my action and
tried to pull me out of the crowd. Sure, try to get me out of there, a member of the
MHB-fanclub and totaly in to Motorhead. So I stayed. At first the guys of security
thougt I was a nice girl....sure! I have to agree with Mark Karl,
Bastard is a good album. Especially " Don't let daddy kiss me" and
"Liar" are my favorit songs. I am not going soft on you, but you have to
admit, by listening to "Don't let daddy kiss me", you would really like to
kill the Bastard! The text is extremely good, the music fits right in. You can
almost see what's happening with that litle girl. My favorit album is 1916.
Because of "Love me forever", "The one to sing the blues" and
"No voices in the sky". Not many MHB are too crazy about the song
"1916", but again you have to listen to the lyrics to enjoy
it. Well, for now, I am going to get a good night
sleep. Many kind regards, Frouwkje

Hi
I paid 35 dollars to see one band play for only 25minutes. I didn't really give a damn
about anyone else on the bill except for Ozzy but I fell asleep during his set.
A fair amount of people gathered around the second stage for Motorhead. During the day,
the sound was low for the other bands, so I was worried. My fears were crushed when
Motorhead came on with Iron Fist. The sound was LOUD. Even though it was 98 degrees
outside, Motorhead were dressed in the usual shirts and jeans. I don't think I could play
for longer than 25 minutes in 98 degree weather. They seemed to be in good spirits and
played a surprising set. Everybody was angry about the short amount of time. The crowd
demanded more. I geuss the organizers didn't want Motorhead to disrupt the delicate sounds
of Tool.

OS: A sad story. Motorhead was scheduled to play here in Atlanta off the
regular OZZFEST tour on Tuesday, July 28. In addition to the concert, the club was
offering an opportunity for all fans to "swill beer with Lemmy" from 5:00-7:30
before the show.
Unfortunately, because of lack of ticket sales, the club cancelled the show the day before
it was to occur. Apparently, Motorhead sold less than 100 advanced tickets for the
concert and the club didn't feel it would make back the $5000 Motorhead was asking.
How can a city the size of Atlanta have so few Motorhead fans? Heck, Dio was here a
month ago and sold 800 tickets for a Sunday night show.
And to top things off, since the show was separate from OZZFEST, we would have heard a
full set, unlike the wimpy 7-song sets like I'm reading about.
Sincerely,
No Fun At All.

Subject: OS: OzzFest 98
Wow!!! Motorhead's OzzFest gig (July 7, Mansfield, Ma) kicked so much ass I can't even tell you how much ass it kicked. I
got a spot up front, within 15 feet of the stage (I got even closer as the show went on). Lemmy & co. walked on stage
casually and with 100% confidence he shouted "We are Motorhead, and we're gonna kick your ass". They were thorough at doing
so. The following is their set list and I'm pretty sure it's in the right order (if it's not I'm sure there will be someone
to correct me):IRON FISTSTAY CLEANOVER YOUR SHOULDERLOVE FOR SALESACRIFICEKILLED BY DEATHACE OF SPADESOVERKILLLemmy seemed
to be pissed off (he almost seemed insulted) at the fact that he only had a half hour to play. I expected him to continue
playing beyond the 30 minutes allowed. But, uncharacteristicly he didn't. I believe this was the first time I got the
words to Love for Sale right the whole song through. I usually get confused. I almost got Lemmy's pick. It hit the hand of
the dude next to me and fell to the ground. We both went down to get it. The difference:
He went down to his knee, I just bent over, so when he pushed me I fell. ( Stupid Sean, I
hate you). Luckily he "was" a friend so he let me touch it. The guy on the other
side of me seemed more disappointed that I didn't get it than me. Motorhead also killed my
Ozzy-high that I was on for the week before the show. Even though it was only 30 minutes
long, it was good enough for my first Motorhead show.

From: David Weinsier - dweinsier@mindspring.com
OS: If Motorhead's next album is to be a live one, I hope they don't include all the old
songs that we've all heard live already. Hopefully it will include only music
released in the 90's (1916, March, Bastards, Sacrifice, Overnight, & Snake).
In my opinion, Motorhead's best music has been written in this decade. The album
could be called "No Sleep in the 90's".

Hello
Great job with the news letter! I havent received one in a few months
though??
I have a complaint. I attended Ozzfest in Raghlie NC on Aug 1 soully to see Motorhead. Well from where
I live its a 5hour trip and I had to work late the night before. So I got up early the day of the show and made it
to the sight in 4 1/2 hours. I was flying down the road to say the least. I was so excited , my girl freind loves Ozzy
so it was the first time we had seen him together. Anyway , long story short as I was walking up to the sight I hear
Ace of Spades,.... Oh No !!! No Motorhead is HEADLINEING the SECOND stage acording to everything ..right!? WRONG!!!
They opened up the Main stage!! So I got to here Ace of Spades and Overkill from the line to get in the show.
I was heart broken, kickin' my self for not going ahead and driving up the night before... :-[
I know it has nothing to do with Motorhead but this happened to me also 6 yrs ago at the
Oporation R n R show in Charllote NC That time The HEAD were Cancelled by the venue on the
day because of curfew.... What is that! They didnt know what the show was all about??????
Also in charllote at a club called Jeromihas on the Sacrofice toure, Show
Cancelled!! I have made 5 attempts to see Motorhead live and only 1 has come
to be, The Masquerade in Atlanta Ga. on the Overnight Sensation tour. It was
awsome! They put on the best show , but even that tour was cancelled when Wasp &
Lemmy got in to it. Againe Im not mad at Motorhead but it seems to me that, to serve there
fans and the venues patrons, they ( the venue) would make changes more know .
Any how I bought two Head shirts and talked to some people who said they were
Killer. If you could please send me the set list from the show and any other Dates
for the east coast USA. Also if you know of anyway to get other shirts Like a
Sacrifice one , that would be great!!!
Thanks for your time

**Editor: Brett... apprently, the way OZZfest was structure was that one of the
second stage bands got to open the main stage every night. The second stage bands
rotated so that they all got a chance. You just had the bad luck to go to the one
show that Motorhead opened the main stage. :-(

Subject: intro to my motorhead history
Just an intro to my Motorhead history. The first exposure to MH was No Sleep Till Hamersmith. After hearing the absolute
brutality, I had to see 'em. So the first time I saw MH was June 1982 at the Hollywood Palladium. Krokus & Fist opened.
I was a senior in high school & about thirty people from school caravanned to the show. It was an anti-prom outing where
people that couldn't afford the cost of the senior prom got to go out. We had a helluva lot more fun. It was one of the first
shows with Brian Robertson. Never did see MH with Eddie. The show was incredible. And over the years, I've seen the boys
about 5 times. Did get to meet Lemmy at a record store appearance in 1983 before a show at a roller rink in Fullerton Ca.
called Billy Barty's Roller Fantasy!!! And, yes, Billy Barty (the world's most famous midget) was greeting everybody at the
door. The looks he got from Motorheadbangers was classic. Anyway, I gave Lemmy a full bottle of Jack Daniels as a gift &
he rewarded me with a picture of the two of us. He was grabbing a handful of my hair & I had this horrible ugly face.
It sits on my desk at work. Its been a few years since I've seen them. They don't get down to Arizona much. OZZfest missed
us this time. Hopefully soon.
Take Care. Randy the Desert Dog.
