Subject: OS: Site Facelift
Motorheadbangers Everywhere!!
Well, the most exciting news for me this week is that I am working with my brother, Warren, on a new design for the Motorhead
website. We are bringing it, as Warren says, into 1999. For those of you that do not know, Warren is the talented
young man that created all the original graphics for the Motorhead site. He is now running his own website design company
(http://www.silicondreams.net/) but is helping me with the re-work purely out
of his love of the music and the band. This is really a great make-over! I know that some of you have found it
frustrating that several sections have NEVER been available, but all I can say is that it will happen.. all of it and more!
I am not sure when the site will be completed, but it will be soon. This is my avenue to publically thank Warren for
his help. Thanks buddy, your the best!
* You asked for it and you've got it. OVERNIGHT SENSATION MAILING LIST T-SHIRTS!! After months of planning and
coordinating, I am happy to announce that I am taking pre-orders for the OS t-shirts. I have created a special webpage
on the official site just for this purpose.
It has all the instructions for ordering. It is located at: http://www.imotorhead.com/tshirt.htm
This page is exclusive to Overnight Sensation members and this shirt is only for us. It is fully endorsed by the band!!
All the details you need are on the link above. I am personally very excited about this. There are many cool things
to come!!! The first orders are rolling in... thanks one and all for your support!
* When I went out on the road with Motorhead, one afternoon Phil and I sat down before a show and did a formal interview.
That interview is available now in Real Audio format at: http://www.blastmagazine.com
* Also, we are on the verge of our second anniversary for OS!! I would like to repeat last year's celebration with all
of you sending in your favorite Motorhread story. It can be the best show you saw, the best experience that you had
listening to an album, the time you meet them, anything! I have a couple of VERY special prizes to give-a-way in conjunction
with this celebration. Everyone that sends me a story will be included in the draw. Prizes include signed Motohead
posters and CDs as well as the actual strings that Phil Campbell used to play the concert in Vancouver, BC a coupla weeks
ago. He has signed the package as well! This is a piece of Motorhead history!! The first few have begun
arriving and they look great! Deadline for submissions is June 11/99. Send your emails to acetrump@bigfoot.com
and make sure that the subject reads "OS: Second Anniversary". I look forward to them!!
* TOUR DATES! Tour dates... get your tour dates here. As always, they could change at any minute.

Ah--the monitors supply the onstage sound which the performers
hear, and their levels are controlled independantly of the main PA which the audience
hears. Unless the monitors were *extremely* loud they would not affect what you hear
directly (though if the performers hear a bad sound balance, _that_ might affect what they
play ;)

I would like to know a little bit of what's goin' on there.
This sounds a familar problem to me! My girlfriend is not so tall, and often has difficulty seeing at gigs. You might try
taking something to stand on, like a folding stool, (but not too close to the front, or some bastard jumping around might
knock you off it). On the other hand, the last time I went to a Motorhead gig with my girlfriend, she was able to worm her
way down to the front row easily (being small--I never could have done it!) and stayed there most of the gig, alarming Lemmy
once by shouting for "Silver Machine" ;)

Subject: OS: Montreal, Toronto, Punk Festival
Thanks Silvia Queen of Spades for your support on the small t-shirts for girls, short ones would be nice too,
so I can show off my Overkill backpiece tattoo. Thanks Samad for the addresses for Motorhead rare records. Does
anyone know anything about about the scheduled tour of old punk bands in America and Canada in August? I hear
alot are supposed to play Montreal (999, the Damned, UK Subs, One Way System, Vice Squad, Varukers, etc...) and wondering
if Motorhead is planning to play this, as they used to play a lot with some of these bands in the U.K., back in the
day. Apparently it's supposed to happen at the Molson amphitheater- we'll see, we get told a lot of shows will happen,
the posters go up and then it gets canceled. If anyone knows anything about it &/or Motorhead playing-please
do tell. Charlie Harper, UK Subs front man ,told me they were supposed to play this, apparently Toronto, too.
Motorhead in Montreal rocked, but it was pretty empty, they should play the Spectrum next time, it's really large
too, but not as big and has a wicked sound system. Their set was longer in Montreal, then in Toronto. Both
times I got to meet Lemmy and Mickey Dee, very fucking cool individuals, very nice birthday present. Thankyou
Dave the t-shirt guy, for the backstage pass, and Doreen in Toronto for having a after show party at your restaurant/bar.
Shows were great, although I missed all the opening bands, oh well... The shitty thing is the guys in the
pit trying to get down your pants every five minutes-beware of the little girls, we are stronger then you think.
Glad to hear about the new shirts Ace, and Motorhead finally produced baby doll t-shirts for us chicks this tour, very
happy about that. Got totally hammered at the Toronto party, and everyone started having their body parts signed, I
got conned into it, passed out on my friends couch and he now has Lemmy's signature permanently tattooed on his leather
couch!!- Now there is a conversation piece. Check out the Built For Speed compilation, I picked up the picture
disk at Rotate This in Toronto, it's pretty good.

Subject: OS: St Valentines Day Masacre EP and other Rarities
Hey all, After Checking out the discography in the booklet to my Protect the Innocent box set, I was wondering where I could
acquire Odd stuff like the St Valentines Day massacre ep, The Golden Years Live ep, the Beer Drinkers EP, the Stand by Your
Man ep, the '92 Tour EP and other stuff of that nature. The problem is that here in the states I can't get a lot of stuff
except on import, and that stuff is really hard to find even in stores that have a lot of imports. Is there a compilation
out there with most of this stuff on there, would Ebay be a good source or is there another good place to get this stuff.
BTW Cdnow.com used to have some interesting stuff, but not anymore. I'd appreciate someone letting me know something. Thanks
a lot

tape the music video channel to see if they play any good videos so I could go out an buy the disc. I no sooner put the thing
in and a segment called "Rapid Fax" comes on and low an behold, who do ya think their interviewing???...Lemmy...move over
Elvis the king has arrived. They proceeded to play the "Ace Of Spades" video immediately following the interview.
But...The news is...Canada's premiere music video channel, "Much Music" will air a show called "Loud" on June 19, an who do
ya think could possibly be co-hosting???...That's right...The King himself...MTHeadbangers everywhere, if you have access
to the "Much Music" network, I suggest you program the VCR, invite every MTHeadbanger you know, an enjoy a rare appearance
by King Lem. I gotta go watch this interview again. Rock on "Ace" nice job with the website. Yo "Tinman",
havn't received the shirt yet, let you know when it arrives.

Subject: os t-shirts
Hey All, I was just wondering about a couple of things......First of all, How often will the Faq be updated, because
the one I got on the 29th or so of May was updated on the 25th of April and it didn't seem to be different at all from the
one I got in February or March. Second, I was just curious, what kind of amplifier does Lemmy use, and what does he use for
distortion, it said on the Backstage Website, No Sleep til My Ears Bleed that they don't use distortion, that they're just
plain loud, but I don't buy that. and Third How did Lemmy come to use a Rickenbacker bass. As an aspiring bassist I look up
to Lemmy for so many reasons, namely the way he plays the power chords on the bass underneath the guitar solos and stuff,
and I saw his signature series bass and I began to drool. Ahh I figured out a forth Question, Why are the frames on Oliver
Cornfield's fan club site so big. I love the site, but I hate the frames on the site, the one on the left is so big, especially
compared with other sites. Is that just the way the Virgin Freespace is? Oh well, hope to get some Answers soon

**Editor: I assume in your first question you are refering to the note I send to
all new subscribers. It is updated whenever I decide to update it. It was recently
updated because I happened to notice that my old (now non-functioning) e-mail address was
listed in one spot. So, I fixed it. That is all....

Hello, my name is Paul, I am a Motorhead fan till death. The first Motorhead CD I ever
heard was 1916. I was so hooked after that. I am in a metal band and we cover "Iron Fist"
and"The One To Sing The Blues" I have never been able to see
Motorhead live yet, but I will before I die. I have been to the NAMM show twice
hoping to meet Lemmy or any of Motorhead there but none of them were there. I have the new
live Motorhead cd and it is awsome, I hope it sells like crazy. Motorhead deserves tons of
respect for all the great things they have done over the years. Lemmy truly is Rock and
Roll and everything cool. Thank you for putting out such a cool newsletter.

Subject: OS: Motorhead kicked my ass in Poughkeepsie
Hello Ace!!
I have just had my ass kicked by the mightiest loudest band on the face of the earth!!!
On Wednesday, June 3rd at the Chance in Poughkeepsie at approximately
9:30 P.M. A full sonic assault was executed by Lemmy and Co. I had gotten to the
chance earlier in the night around 8:15 P.m. and proceeded to listen to two bands which
have the talent of a horse's a**. The last band I think (Dropkick Murphys) was angry
at one guy in the crowd and asked him if he was a tough guy. Security was very good, they
had a very good selection of motorhead shirts, but I bought two bumper stickers with the
new live album release on them. No graphics though except for the motorhead logo.
What can I say other than this was by far the best concert I have ever
attended. Period. Last year's ScuzzFest does not count (30 minutes? and outside?)
Many people were holding their ears, but I came prepared with earplugs and sat up in the
balcony. The sound quality was truly awesome--lots of bass, no treble sound, and
Mikkeys's drums pierced the stacks.
Phil was brilliant on guitar, I have never seen Mikkey give his all like he did, and Lemmy was witty and funny as always.
I was in for a treat when the trio hit the stage. All of the sudden multi-colored lights and rising smoke fill the air--
Lemmy says "We are motorhead, and were gonna kick your ass" And two seconds later, BOMBER! in full force. I was pumped
the whole show as were many other motorhead fans. Next they launched straight into No Class. I banged my head
and pumped my fist and yelled my head off.
The set list (not in any particular order) --a 20 song set--which i find very generous, is
as follows
Bomber
No Class
The Chase is Better than the Catch--an excellent rendition!!!
Over Your Shoulder
Born To Raise Hell (Darn Good) and mikkey's drumming superb.
Overkill (last song, and well worth the wait, with feedback at end)
Ace of Spades
Going to Brazil
Shine
Killed By Death (another excellent rendition!!)
Im So Bad (Baby I don't care)
Sacrifice (very strong and loud--best live I've heard yet)
Orgasmatron (Stage goes dark and lights glow green--excellent!)
Nothing Up MY Sleeve
Dead Men Tell No tales (Introduced As Dead Men smell toe nails)
Love for sale (really kicked some major A**)
Take the Blame (by far the fastest piece of the show)
Broken (A treat to hear since it is often not played)
Civil War (They hit the nail on the head on this one)
Iron Fist (Great)
All songs were executed with raw power and I must say I am still psyched 24 hours after the show.
One or two guys tried to get on stage and they got rid of them quickly. Lemmy commented (This is MY stage, not yours.) I must
agree. Some lemmy comments: "Does anyone here don't know what rock and roll is? Raise your hand. This guy here
doesn't know we'll show him!" This is a song about prostitutes its called "Love for Sale" This song is about
politicians "Take the blame" This one is a long one from 1983-- its called "Shine"--don't know what Lemmy meant by that.
This next song is from the Middle Ages--"Broken".All in all, everything was louder than everthing else. This one's a
keeper.

Hi Ace!!!
Forgot to add to my previous post about the Chance show in Pughkeepsie, NY. After
the show ended, I was walking out in the alley and into the parking lot. I saw the
Motorhead tour bus, and as I was walking close by I saw Phil Campbell in person. I
got within about ten feet of him--I waved but he didnt see me. He was probably tired
more than ever. By the way, all of you motorheadbangers out there who do not know
about e-bay please visit the online auction website for some motorhead goodies! http://www.ebay.com I got two promo posters for the
new live CD (11x17) and an out of print? video 1991 Live...Everything louder than
everything else--filmed in Munich. So there are some great bargains, though
sometimes you have to bid to get what you want.Ace--what can I say, the T-
Shirts are excellent looking! Especially the Snaggletooth coming out of the computer.

Subject: OS: Is Motorhead too loud?
I recently saw Motorhead live for the first time. This was the Washington D.C. show. It's been a full 2 days since the
show and my ears are still ringing. I have been to a lot of shows but never had my ears ring as bad as from Motorhead.
I actually think Motorhead plays too loud, I don't see how the band can't be deaf by now, it didn't appear like they wear
any ear protection at all. Also Phil's solos could barely be heard, most of the time you couldn't really hear them at
all. The vocals could be hardly heard as well. If lemmy's bass would have been not as loud the vocals and solos
would have come through so much clearer. Does motorhead always sound like this live? I think alot of this has
to do with them wanting to use so many high watt amps and speaker cabinets on stage even in a medium sized club. From
what i understand if a band turns their amps down and lets most of the sound come from the PA then the overall result will
be much clearer music. But then again they when they say that they are there to kick everyone's ass, they definitely
do that in terms of sheer volume and aggression.

wohh-
someone posted last time ... no sleep til milwaukee. well, for me it was no sleep since milwaukee. my cousin and
i tripped down to the rave in milwaukee to catch motorhead saturday night, then drove all night and caugt them on sunday at
edgefest in somerset, wisconsin (the minneapolis market). both shows were awesome! milwaukee was about 2 hours,
15 minutes! that's why i went all the way there, to see them play a full headline set. but, then at edgefest they
had the last slot of the evening (after the offspring) and still got to play about an hour and a half (30 minutes longer than
they were scheduled). i was incredibly surprised and pleased. all the technical difficulies in milwaukee were
funny, but scary. i was sure they were going to say fuck it and be done, but they carried on and rocked the joint.
i met dave (i'm not sure what he does exactly) working the t-shirt booth a the rave and again at edgefest. i was working
another booth and we got to talking and he gave me a guest pass for edgefest (hey dave, if you read this you still owe me
$15 and a t-shirt). the edgefest show was way better than i expected and i got their autographs afterward as well. it
was so cool hearing songs like "the chase..." "shine" and "dead men..." (they only played "chase" at edgefest, but the
other two at the rave). plus, newer stuff like "broken" (at both gigs). i was totally expecting to be diappointed
with the edgefest gig, but it will probably go down as the best motorhead show for me ever. the backstage area is set
up so that people can hang at the side of the stage and watch the show. it so happened i was on lemmy's side the entire
set. everyone i met with the band was very cool and i'm looking forward to seeing them next time they're in town.
let's hope it's not too long. AC
p.s.-- i saw nashville pussy at first avenue (mpls) wednesday night and their drummer
jeremy was wearing a motoread t-shirt. if you dig motorhead, check this band
out. they rock and reyter and corey are fucking hot (and really nice)!

Motorhead
The Rave, Milwaukee
May 29, 1999
It's taken me almost a week to recover from this gig so I hope I don't forget anything!
OK, my wife and I drove up to Milwaukee from Chicago early afternoon. We had made plans
with the boys in Chicago the week prior to "make a day of it!" We got to The
Rave before they did so we killed some time at an excellent English pub downtown. The bus
pulled up at 7:00 pm and we spotted each other. After the crew set up everything it was
time to party backstage! My wife, Ellen, had baked about a hundred cookies and brownies
for the band. Don't laugh, they quickly stashed them on the bus! Hell, I only got one! She
also gave the band and crew various raunchy buttons they also quickly scarfed up! I
brought a cooler full of various booze I thought we'd enjoy. We did. Every year I give
Phil Campbell a t-shirt. This time I gave him a Bettie Page "It's Spanky Time!"
shirt. We listened to Lemmy's hilarious tales (ask him about one-armed Tommy Lee
sometime!) and talked old times til showtime. They let Ellen stand on the side of the
stage to avoid a massive mosh pit! I was in the photo pit the first three songs, then
joined Ellen onstage. The band was on fire! It was basically the same set as Chicago, but
with two more songs- "Love For Sale" and "Broken"! 21 songs! That's
gotta be a record for an Amercian gig! During "Nothin' Up My Sleeve", a fuse
blew and all that was left was Mikkey Dee drumming in the dark! The venue tried to blame
Lemmy's amp but his bass tech, Tim, would have none of it! "Is that the best you can
do?" he asked! Power was restored so they blasted out another dozen killer songs! The
place was going nuts! After the show, we partied again backstage, finally leaving at 5:00
am for our 90 mile ride home. I don't know how we made it but I do know I missed two days
work just recovering from all the Motor-partying! Thanks guys!
Next round is on us!
