Hello Again Fellow Motorheadbangers!!
Well, I'm back from taking 6 days of vacation and catching a few shows. One of them
was Metallica... I had the opportunity to spend some time talking to Lars and mentioned
our little group here and how much we appreciate Metallica constantly letting the world
know that without a Motorhead, there would have been no Metallica. He was very
gracious and a genuine pleasure to talk to... that goes for all the guys in Metallica!
I have some news and info about the current goings on with the band (thanks Laurie!):
* Lemmy just completed an interview for inclusion in VH1's BEHIND THE MUSIC on Metallica,
which is scheduled to air this fall. VH1 will be including footage from Lemmy's 50th
Birthday party at the Whisky in LA where Metallica dressed up as "The Lemmys"
and performed a set of Motorhead tunes.
* Lemmy is the celebrity panelist in the fall issue of SMOKE magazine, on the stands right
about now. Smoke is the largest and hippest of the cigar magazines and this feature
is their most popular.
* Lemmy was recently in NY to play a role in the upcoming Troma film, "Terror
Firmer," out in January 1999, directed by Lloyd Kaufman, president of Troma, which is
known for their cult classic, "Toxic Avenger." Lemmy appeared in Troma's
last film, "Tromeo and Juliet".
* Motorhead just recorded a cover of Metallica's "Enter Sandman", which will be
part of a wrestling CD compilation that Bob Chiappardi's Concrete Foundations is putting
together. This will be released on CMC Records in North America.
* Lemmy just appeared on Comedy Central's Daily Show, holding his own against host Craig
Kilborn during the interview and hilarious "five questions."

I for one am glad that Motorhead didnt play the main stage at ozzfest...the sound sucked
ass at the main stage, with ozzy being the only one who sounded anything close to
decent. Also, who was "Jane" who sang Ace of Spades with Lemmy at Ozzfest
camden, her voice was similar to Wendy O.'s...
And Ace, when are we going to be able to get the tribute on CD? That would bee even
better than having it on the computer.

re: Subject: os: too few motorhead fans in atlanta?
I never even HEARD about Motorhead playing in Atlanta (it stinks to find out about these
things after the fact). I check the official website all the time and I don't
remember seeing ANYTHING about the Atlanta gig. Maybe ticket sales would be higher
if those of us who love Motorhead actually knew when and where they were playing near
us...
By the way, where is the ACTUAL definitive "Motorhead tour" web site??
How do I make SURE I never miss out on a chance to catch my favorite band??
**Editor: As I have stated NUMEROUS times, I can only post the info that the management
gives me. Personally, I rely on http://www.pollstar.com
to get me the latest and greatest tour dates.

Mindless trivia time again:-

> half of difference there)
I saw the man himself after a gig at the Kentish Town Forum (London) in November (?) 1995,
following a VERY cold wait outside the stage door. As I remember, he was about my height,
which is about 5'11" / 6 foot tall. So that makes this other guy one tall bastard...
Rich.

Subject: os: my first head
Back in '85, I was in my High School Economics class. I was sleepy until I heard this guy talking about this band Motorhead.
"They've got some great songs like Dancing On Your Grave", he said. Well, with a song title like that I had to check
these guys out. Not having the Shekles to piss away on albums (Vinyl? What's that?) with only one good song,
I checked "Iron Fist" out of my local library. Needless to say, I racked up some hefty overdue fines because I didn't
want to take the damn thing off my turntable. I reluctantly returned the album and bought "No Remorse" (complete with
leather cover). I was hooked. In December of that year, I got word the MH was going to play The Metro in Chicago, the
15th. I went. Standing in an alley, 15 degrees weather, waiting to be let into the show, freezing my ass off,
but it was all worth it. They opened with Ace Of Spades, at least that's what I think it was, it was so loud that I
could hear nothing but white noise with the occasional soaring guitar note. MH also had the dubious distinction of
causing plaster to crack off of the ceiling. I'll never forget that night, or the seven days afterward that my ears
rang. Since then I have amassed a huge collection of recorded material. One of my prizes is a 10 disc Stiff Record
box set of singles issued on that label. One of them is MH's White Line Fever.

Two issues in four days! Impressive! Well, it's my turn to ramble again.
>If you had waited around with your "friend" you would have met Lemmy.
You like pouring salt in open wounds, don't you? I've been kicking myself (literally)
every day since for that.
>Instead you had to suffer through Tool or something equally shitty (not Ultraspank!).
> missed meeting him, after waiting about 40 minutes, by going to the bathroom for five
minutes
Not really, you see I couldn't hear them and there was some psychedelic thing going on
stage with fuzzy pictures and flashing lights so I didn't pay much attention. Also it was
about 40 minutes after the show I was in the bathroom too, so when he said "I'm going
to the bathroom" I probably would have joined him (which would have made me even more
pissed off that I missed Lemmy) What? you liked Ultraspank?
>Yeah, and it almost got stolen after the set. Trust me. Thief!
> Lower your head and say "d'oh. D'oh
> I was wondering why CMC don't promote their acts the way they should. It seems to me that an act should receive the
same amount of advertising and promotion playing in a club as they would if they are playing a huge arena. Often a band will
perform in a small club some place and no one knows anything about it until the day of the show.
It all has to do with the popularity of the band. Bands that get a lot of radio airplay
and such tend get advertised more because people know who they are. If no one has ever
heard of a band before there's no need to tell people that they are playing in some club
down the street. Bands that are more popular also tend to bring in more money so the big
arena would want them there. By the same token a 25,000 seat arena doesn't want a band
that has only 25,000 fans in the world playing there. Last I checked Motorhead wasn't that
popular (at least not in America) so to find out when Motorhead is playing you have to
check out other sources for info (i.e. this mailing list, the web site, etc)
>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")
Think about that for a second. You just compared the human brain to microsoft. Microsoft
product don't multi-task well. Apparently human brains don't either so I guess that's more
accurate than I thought.

Subject: os: trivia update
Hi all,
Just a quick note to let you know that the "Strange But True: Weird Motorhead
Trivia" section in my web-site has now been updated with some restructuring of
existing items and some great new facts added in. The Zombie-Lemmy animation that goes
with that section has also been improved! (The animation was created using an
orginal photo I took of him last year in London). Enter the "Strange But
True" section via my homepage:
http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/8273/motorhead.html
And before I sign off, here's what Lemmy had to say about Ace's Official Motorhead
WebSite. This amusing piece I found in an interview printed on the latest issue of
Motorheadbangers World fanzine:
Dino: "On Internet I read that Hitler's pair of boots, which were in the Berlin
Museum, are now at your home."
Lemmy: "No! It's bullshit! It's bullshit, that's what it is!
I've never heard about that. I'm supposed to have Hitler's boots?"
Dino: "It was on the Motorhead website, on Lemmy's Ask The Questions."
Lemmy: "Forget it! No! You can put it back on the Internet! I
don't have Hitler's fucking boots! I don't have his hat, I don't have his fucking shirt,
you know, I don't need pieces of Hitler!"
Take care,
Sarmad.
**Editor: Hey, I just print them, I don't answer them! :-)

To Max Headroom from OS #34:
I'm surprised to hear an American talk like that. You've repeated a lot of critics I'd already made to the American society.
I guess from down here in the 3rd world you get a better view. But I'm glad to know you people are not all alienated, burger-eatin',
beer-sippin', tv-watchin', ruminating morons. Hey Max, it's people like you and me who are probably the only remaining hope
for the Western society. I know what it feels like, being America's toilet. It's called imperialism, but it's probably part
of your country's fascist fear-capitalizing politics to not talk about stuff like that on school. Your megalomanic, onanistic,
power-crazed warheads have already swallowed what was left of the USSR, now you're after Cuba and China, and by the 2nd millenium
the U.S. will have either taken over the whole world or (hopefully) nearly deceased.
Only time will tell. By the way, you should be ashamed of your president. It's not like
I'm not ashamed of ours, but any human being who publicly humiliates the only one who was
trying to defend him on such a stupid scandal and accepts playing such a fool because of a
fuckin' blow job deserves no respect at all. Hey Bill, I'm sorry for your pathetic
ass.About all the "Don't Let Daddy Kiss Me" stuff, I don't see the need to
mention it. Is there any bad Mot–rhead song? If so, let me know cuz I'm yet to hear it.
Why don't all you metalheads let Mot–rhead make good rock ballads like everyone else? 98
degrees Farenheit? That would be about 33 degrees Celsius... man, you don't know what heat
is!!To Kfir, the best Mot–ralbum ever, in my opinion, is their 2nd, '79's Overkill.
Also, Ace Of Spades ('80), 1916 ('91), Bastards (Lemmy's favorite) and Sacrifice (Lemmy's
2nd favorite at the time of release). You'll notice that the more the band's style
changed, the more it stayed the same. Basically, they're heavier and dirtier on each new
album. By the way, when Overnight Sensation came out and I was told it was dirtier than
Sacrifice, I thought, "that just ain't possible". Whattaya know, I was wrong!I
don't understand the fuss about the Bastards distribution. Here it is found everywhere.
The Brazil OzzFest has been cancelled! To be honest, I was hoping for that. Hell, after
the '96 45-minute gig, I think I deserve to see them play a full-length show. The second
part of my wish, however, is yet to become true! I'll just cross my fingers and wait. For
a while, there had also been some talk that Lemmy would be among the guest appearances on
a Sepultura show. The gig was on August 15th. No Lemmy there. He would probably have shown
up just to sing "Orgasmatron" anyway.
Hey Ace, "keep up the good work!" (Man, how I hate clichEs!) That's all folks...
signing off. Stay high!
