Greetings!
Well, I believe that this will be the last post before Lemmy's birthday, so.... HAPPY BIRTHDAY LEMMY! Your response
to the Birthday card for Lem has been overwhelming!
No new news band-wise for you this week. I am eagerly awaiting the release of the
new disc... and a tour! This time of year always makes me look back over the last 12
months. It's had it's up and downs, but everything works out in the end. I am
proud to be a part of this and a part of the Motorhead family. I look forward to
spending 1999 with all of you!

Motorhead with an Allegiance support hey Helen .....Great idea ..... But for one small problem .......... Since Dave
Harrison left the band last year there is no such thing as Allegiance anymore .....this for me is very sad as they used
to employ me....... But Lemmy did promise faithfully to return when he was here in 86 playing to crowds of 1500 in rooms
that were built for 800 , so let's just see if he keeps his word ... There are thousands of Aussie Motorhead fans ,
but we're so spread out across this country it makes it a rarity for most bands to be able to afford to come see
us all ...(Austarlia is generally where you go to write off taxesand losses vs. profits from the other more populated
legs of your average world tour )

Subject: Motorhead Tribute
Ace,
Good to see the site is up and running again. Is the Motorhead Tribute available anywhere
else, ie. for purchase? Do to systems requirements (among other things) I am unable to
listen to any of the songs. :-<
Hope you can help.
Frustrated,
Frank E.

Does anyone know if it has seen a British release?

Subject: os: tribute sound...
Hi Ace.
I'm just wondering if it's possible to put up the songs on the tribute as mp3's as well as
real audio? The sound quality now is rather bad and I think that it would be more
enjoyable to listen to if they were mp3's. Though, I must say that all the bands have made
great interpretations of their chosen material. Keep up the good work y'all!

Subject: OS: enter sandman
I heared the Cover of Enter sandman on 'EWC extreme Music' and it's a real fine version. As good as the original if not better!
In fact It's the only decent song on the compilation!
As for the MH covers on Metallica's 'Garage inc', they're very disappointing- The sound is
urendous(and other words I can't spell), and the playing is quite poor too. as for Ulrichs
singing- well i expected better!

Subject: re: os tour
Greetings gang!
People here in the states are wanting Motorhead to tour here more often, (as do I) but if
you stop and think about it Motorhead tours relentlessly, mainly in Europe but from what I
gather they are constantly blowing roofs off of buildings world wide. Unfortunately my jet
is out of gas therefore I can't go to those gigs. I understand that you must cater to your
biggest fan base ( which is Europe )so it doesnt bother me that much, still it would be
nice if the guys would tour the states more often. This didn't make a lick of sense but I
don't have any so..........Rock on!

Subject: os: how i became a motorhead fan
Well, when it comes to being a fan, I have my own story of how I became a motorhead fan.
It goes back to the mid 80's when I was in high school, and a school mate of mine
let me listen to "killed by Death" The sound quality was bad, but what I noticed
in the song was the singer was giving it his all. As a fan of Maiden, I used to play
air guitar heavily for an aerobic workout. Years later, after not hearing Motorhead
for about 8 years, I grew sick and tired of the bands who had no originality and did not
have any sense of humor. Winter '92 I'm in the K-Mart record section, and I pick up a copy
of (I think its out of print) Motorhead--the Collection. Iwas looking for some music that
would not quit and put others to shame, and had a sense of humor. After cranking
that tape up, I really got into Motorhead for good! I compare Motorhead to what I
listened to years before and I say--what was I thinking?
Anyone else have any stories on how they got to be such devoted 'head fans? This
would be a cool subject.
cheers
Dave

I found an old finnish music magazine at my band's bunker and it has some kind of
Lemmy history in it. If you people want me to translate it into english and send it
to you, just drop me a line. There is only one but. I think it will take few weeks
to find time for the job. But I try Hard.
Keep on rockin'

Hi all,
My article on the London Brixton Academy concert is at last uploaded onto my web-site.
It includes photos taken live on stage and backstage. Look for the links "No
Speak With Forked Tongue 1998" or "Gig/Backstage Review 1998". The
URL is: http://www.geocities.com/ResearchTriangle/8273/motorhead.html
Thanks Ace for resurrecting the official web-site! The Real-Audio live show is
brilliant! I just closed my eyes while listening to it, imagined I was being crushed
and hurtled around by a thousand moshers around me, and it really made me feel like I was
there. Will Phil Campbell's Liquor Store Adventures still go ahead for your web-site as
initially planned?
I bought the Metallica "Garage Inc." CD with the four Motorhead covers. I
wish they stop saying that the four Motorhead covers they put on it is "The Complete
Motorhead-Ache". They sang six covers at Lemmy's 50th Bithday party yet they're
not releasing all of them. We're still missing "We Are The Road Crew" and
"The Chase Is Better Than The Catch". The complete set is only available on the
various bootleg CD's going around and I thought the music industry is supposed to
discourage this.
A note on support bands. Rifts between audience and the performing band, like Groop Dogdrill's set at Motoread's Brixton
show, are usually started off by the no-IQ brigade in the audience. It's a shame there's always such
a gang at every gig. However, for a band it's part of the job to cope with such hecklers and not to make matters worse.
It's not the support-band's fault that they're picked to play in the wrong type of gig - blame the tour promoters.
At the end of the day we have to respect that support-bands deserve a break and that they're looking forward to
having a top-brand name like Motorhead on their CV's once the tour is over, to further their careers.. A new band
called Huge Baby, who are acquaitances of mine, suffered racial abuse from some members of the audience when they supported
Napalm Death at Birmingham, England, this season. Yet they kept cool and didn't let this turn their set into a disaster.
(they also played at Metallica's "Load" launch party in London). Psycho Squad, the youngest band on this year's Motorhead
UK tour, suffered the most initial abuse from the audience than the other support bands at the Brixton show but they
too handled the situation very well and just got on with their set. Groop Dogdrill, in the other hand, who were the
most experienced support-band of the three (I think they also have a record deal, Kerrang magazine are always raving about
them) just made matters worse for themselves the way they tried to handle the hecklers badly during their set and they
showed total lack of professionalism turning their set into a complete disaster. I don't have respect for a member
of the audience who tries to ruin the show for a performing band, but neither do I have respect for a band who retaliates
badly and make fools of themselves.

**Editor: Thanks for your kins words Sarmad... they are very special coming from
you, webmaster of one of the finest MH sites out there! As far as Phil's
adventures... I am hoping he will do it. He was initially VERY excited about being
involved... but I have heard little since. I'll keep all posted.
