Subject: os: all better now
Greetings Fellow Motorheadbangers!!
First... an apology. It has been more than two weeks since an issue of OS went out.
Well, your faithful editor managed to get a wonderful case of bacterial pnemonia
that knocked me on my ass (and into the hospital) for a while. Belive me, if I could
have get the issue out, I would have. But, all is well now and I am slowly getting
back on track.
This unexpected illness has also put me a little behind on filling some of the orders from
the Motorheadshop. I will be all caught up before X-mas and I really appreciate your
patience with me on this one... when I am out of commission, this one man operation grinds
to a sreaching hault.
I have also received a ton of stuff from the bands participating in the second OS Tribute.
I will send out a post to the bands in the next week bringing you all up to speed
on what has and has not been received. Thanks!
In other news, noted German documentarian Peter Sempel is making a film all about our
favorite bass player, Lemmy. I know that he has done interviews with lots of celebs
for the film, as well as having filmed several shows. He was also on hand to take film
during the recording of the upcoming album. He hopes to release the film at the
Berlin Film Festival on Feb 10/2000. Check out details on his website located at http://www.sempel.com.
There are some exciting things brewing for Motorhead in 2000. As soon as I am able
to disclose details, you will be the first ones to know.
There should be atleast one more OS before the end of the year. Until next time...

my english is not that good, so I can't understand what Lemmy is singing on Ace Of Spades
( on the "Everything Louder
Than Eveything Else" CD) instead of ".... and don't forget the joker ! "

Is it anyone more than me among you guys who are into Tom Waits? I really recomend his

everything over. A good substitute for Lemmy sometimes accually. Check out "Bone

Hi everybody,
hey, we all will remember that "The Gustavo Incident" (as someone said two weeks
ago) so here's my position about censorship: I agree with the majority: NO CENSOR but I
would like two exceptions: - no racisme ( I totally agree with you, Ace, fuck racism ! ) -
no drug ( I was actually very annoid by all these mails posted a few mounth ago on OS
about which drug to take while listening to Motorhead; who gives a fuck about that !
Drugs are shit, drugs kill; there are much better ways to spend money than on
drugs; buying Motorhead CDs for exemple; The OS mailing list should not urge kids to take
drugs )
stay clean,

Yes I know I'm ill because I am a Motorhead completist bastard! I have to have them all!
Every piece of vinyl, every cd from every country, all the tapes, pictures, well you get
the idea. It's an illness really because who needs to have twenty eight different issues
of "Ace Of Spades"? But it is such a fantastic feeling to come home from work
and see another package on the table and know its another notch in my Motorhead collectors
gun handle.
I would like to see people, through "OS", share info about
what recent Motorhead music purchases they have made and the when, how, and where. You
can't beat Motorhead in concert but this is the next best thing. Give it a try or contact

I have to agree I usually hate when a group I pay to see does a cover. Unless, of course, it's a great song to
begin with! But, let's face it, "Cat Scratch Fever" was VERY WEAK! They prob'ly learned it in a couple hours,
at most! They should have done an old Amboy Dukes tune if they needed a Nuge fix! I believe I heard they're doing a
cover on the new album? Not to let the cat outta the bag too much, but I think it might be by...Steppenwolf! And
if I'm wrong? You didn't hear it from me! Keep up the great work, Ace! Tim Shockley MHB672

Whats happening with all the controversy about all motorhead albums, someones think its ace of spades, some overkill...
i think its Bastards... but sometimes i think its sacrifice, sometime overnight sensation, and sometimes rock n roll, i think
bomber and motorhead are the best albums for listening to late at night... ...
... I mean that doesnt matter, whatever album i consider the best i NEED the others
one, i dont mind wich album is the best for me, i love all of them, and i dont mind
if eddie plays guitar or wurzel, o phil or robbo or wallis or dave murray!, if you play in
motorhead, oyu are motorhead, the only thing that matter to me to like a motorhead
album is that lemmy is there, and he is been always been there...

Subject: monsters of the millenium
Hi there!!!
I'm one of the lucky bastards that got to see The monsters of the millenium. It's a pretty impressive line-up I mean DIO,
MANOWAR & and the almighty MOTáRHEAD. We came a bit late to Solnahallen (just outside Stockholm) because we had to get
some more beer. So missed half of the Dio set but wahat the hell I saw him the day after in Norrkvping. He played all of the
hits like Last in line,heaven and hell bla bla bla. Next band up were Motvrhead. They were doing alright 'til the 5th song
I think , Born to raise hell when someone from the audience threw something on Lemmy that hit him right in the head. Lemmy
gets pissed off as hell and wants to go after the fucking bastard. Hopefully he got what he deserved. Anyway after that Lemmy
was not in a good mood for the rest of the set. I can understand him for that. Anyway what bothered me the most was the set
list. I mean I live stockholm and get to see them about 6-8 times a year (they always play at several summer festivals in
sweden) and for the past 2 years they have used the same set list. It gets pretty boring after a while, and I don't mean that
songs are bad I can just not understand why they record such an excellent album like Snake bite love and then only play one
or 2 songs from it. I say get rid of metropolis,nothing up my sleeve,over your shoulder, killed by death, and some others
and get some rotation on the fucking set list. Apart for that the show were brilliant.
After we have witnessed the gods of rock it was time for the kings of metal but after
about half of the show I left to get to the Motvrhead after party. When I arrived they
were already there, I talked to Lemmy about what happend and he wasnÖt to happy about
it, so he decided not to play at the club. But Mikkey got on stage with a M-head
cover band and got busy in Overkill. He was in a very good mood that night. At around
03:00 the club closed so we got home to get some sleep before the Norrkvping gig.
Bye!

On the banner of the one track promo CD "Hellraiser" is written: CAVEAT EMPTOR.
For the convenience of the OS readers: crudely translated from latin is "look out

free! I wonder who ideated such sentence, I think is rather original, isn't it?
To the boy from Estonia: I don't think is a good idea to write it on your skin. Better

Oi, I just heard that the Astoria in London is a gay club!
Saturday night is usually shag tag night. Everyone going in has a tag
with a number and during the night the DJ calls out a number. He calls the
number coz some other guy is interested and wants a shag. So, er, anyone know
why Motorhead are playing there?
My reply :-
This is easy. Motorhead are a gay band and all there fans are gay too!! Yes it's hard to
believe it but it's true. Lemmy's 3000 or so notches are all a cover. So too are the fact
that Phil and Mikkey are married with kids. I too have adopted the same tack ; married
with two children but in reality I am, as we say in England a 'screaming uphill gardener'

Hello,
From: "Jonathan Dee" dee_tuned@hotmail.com
Subject: tabs, the damned, etc.
I haven't been able to get near e-mail in a while, so I haven't read this since this
summer. I read that people can't get into motorhead.com, that sucks I was there earlier
today to get some tabs for my band and I can't find it?! Where has it moved to? Also, I
think I missed out on the OS t-shirt, can I still get one? Last time I intended to order
was way back when I intended to see Motorhead at the Metropol in Pittsburgh, but then had
to go to California. Anyway, I have recently discovered that the Lemster played a couple
of shows with The Damned way back in '79 or so, can anyone help me find a bootleg of this?
Also not to beat a dead horse, but Motorhead is just as good today as they ever were, I've
been a fan for 6 years (since Bastards was still easy to find!!!)and their new material is
just as good. I also like Mikkey Dee better, and not just cos he might be related to me!
Oh by the way, if Lev Kalman's on here ,e-mail me I owe you tapes. Well, that was all a
ramble, so I'll stop here.
-Jonathan Dee
My reply :-
I have looked high and low for a recording of these gigs but still to no avail. Motorhead
were 'On Ice' for a while and Lemmy played a couple of gigs with Rat Scabies, Dave Vanian
and Captain Sensible from punk band The Damned (the first Punk band to get a recoding
contract and I think also to tour US!!) Incidentally they were billed as 'The Doomed'

Subject: os : answer to jim robertson
My word on the MH line-up ... I'm a fan since 1980, never saw Eddie
live though. I'm still a big fan, got bootlegs, see MH every year etc ...
Y'oure right Jim, but there are some things to consider. First, remember the
time when MH played with Eddie ? Other era mate ! For example, I discovered the Words
Worth album in 1982 (Iron Fist and the hordes from
Hell !) and it shook me over completely (Keep us on the road is burried in my soul). Why ? Now I know it's
because I discovered a part from MH : the young dudes Lemmy, Philty and Eddie trying to take the world. Lock up
your daughters (1977), same thing ... (I mention these two, they're best known). From then on, I understood
why I liked MH so much, though I can't explain ... I think it's mostly sympathy (as you know, a MH gig in those days
wasn't that obvious) for the band, mocked at, laughed at etc ... They touched something inside of me and Lemmy
kept amazing me day after day. He's a fighter, he inspired me ... The sound on those early bootlegs is raw, sometimes
unbearable, but let me try to define it. There's Lemmy and Philty, hitting their instruments and ,surrounding
that brutal attack, "grooves" Eddie, not trying to break that rythm section, just adding a feel, a touch, not overdoing
it (you can see what I mean if you whatch an old video, see the anger in Lemmy, the more tempered and gracious
Eddie). MH had some kind of "boogie" or "slide" ( just listen to the complete Bomber) and it always sounded like
MH (Lemmy off course ). The best examples for me are Bite the bullet, The chase is better and Dirty Love...
Eddie plays not a note too much, not a stroke too much ( just look at the tablatures of early and nowadays MH). When
I hear those songs I get weak, nostalgic. But is it because of Eddie ? Probably. Second, have you listened to
ELTEElse ? Well, every now and then I feel the same "boogie" as in the old days. Also, when I see Phil on
stage, he's also not playing to many notes either ! He's just got another charachter than Eddie had. Third, Bastards
to me is a good album, but yes it is heavy metal. I guess Lemmy just had to make it, and that's his right ! The songs
are great and that's why I think it appeals so much to the younger people. In 1993 it was the best you could get in the scene.
I sometimes wonder what We bring the shake, I'm your man, I am the sword and Devils would sound like in an Eddie
line-up, something like Iron Horse or Shoot you in the back ? It may sound overproduced compared to Overkill or
Aces of Spades but still : the songs are great. Same thing for 1916 : heavy metal. Phil just plays more aggressive
than Eddie anyhow. He places his guitar part more in the songs than around it like Eddie ( that's my way of putting
it in words). Conclusion : it will always be Lemmy-songs, the texture is Lemmy, the color may be different
but that's any musician's good right. The overall is Motorhead ... There is so much more to tell about this subject but my
English isn't that good and I don't want to bore anyone. Thanks for reading. NDL

How come no one, in their list for favourite albums, listed No Sleep Til' Hammersmith among them. This album is a testament
to one of the best live bands ever; one of the only live albums (along with Loco Live by the Ramones and Live at a Dive by
D.I.) that lets the listener hear the true live show. And as far as Motorhead doing cover songs, they did do "Train Kept A-Rollin"
which is a Yardbirds song.

Hey ! It's been a long time since I received this list, something fucked up, and I got removed, I guess.
In response to Jonathan Dee, the Damned and Motorhead, as well as nearly every early English (and some American
)punk bands played with Motorhead on several occasions. I am a huge punk collector, and some interesting books
about a lot of the shows way back when are "The Dairy of Punk" 1970-79 and the second issue 1980-82 (by
George Gimarc, St. Martin's Press ISBN 0-312-11048-0). Of course that isn't where punk ended, and doesn't include
everything. I heard that The Damned and Motorhead released a few singles together under the guise of " Motordamn"
which I am desperately seeking , if anyone knows of one please tell me. there is one Damned album called
"The Long lost Weekend "with "Over the Top" and 'Ballroom Blitz" (also released on the Damned single-chiswick 120-)
and "Over The Top" on Wik 80 by Motordamn. This is basically the Damned with lemmy on bass. However,
I think there were more Damned records with Lemmy on them, then this, although I may be wrong. There are a lot of
Punk bands who released Motorhead covers over the years, you forgot Poison Idea's cover of "Motorhead", excellent, and
Extreme Noise Terror did something, actually, those guys and Wurzel released a record together, but I forget the
name they called themselves. Nearly every local punk/Hardcore band in every city I have ever been do a Motorhead
cover, or two, as well, but often don't record it. Sons of Bronto, from Toronto do some wicked covers, at
every show. It would be neat to do a tribute album of old bands' Motorhead covers, all on one record. Glad you didn't
censor this forum Ace, it would have been a shame. What's with the Grammy nominee shit, and having to be a member, leaves
a lot of real fans out of the picture don't you think? Motorhead deserve the Grammy, without a doubt, and probably a
place of worship at that, but the Grammy's , as an organization, is a corporate music cop society if you ask me. They
only want the opinions of "professionals", who in turn probably only like records that make millions of bucks, because somehow
whoever they work for turns a profit out of it. It's pretty sad, I gotta say. Grammy or no Grammy, Motorhead
are the best fucking band on earth!!! I like someone's idea of sending pictures in of each other, so we would
recognize each other at shows, but I guess it won't matter, for me unless Motorhead gets back up here and plays
Canada-HINT HINT!! Someone , a few mailing lists ago was curious about which songs Metallica played for Lemmy's
50th birthday, well they released a CD called the "Lemmy's" it's atrocious sound quality, and well, no one does
it like Motorhead. The songs were:OverKill, Damage Case, Stone Dead Forever, Too Late Too Late, The Chase is
Better then The Catch, The Road Crew, Overkill with Lemmy, and Happy Birthday, of course. The other 11 songs
were done by Motorhead including a rare one called "Burner" Born to Raise Hell-Yaffa

Subject: os - lemmys old secret sideproject?
Peter Andersson - Sweden. Hallo everyone! I¦m new to this list and was shocked to read that Ozzys "No More Tears" is
actually a song written by Lemmy. Anyway that was how I interpret a message in #84. That is my favourite Ozzy song!
(But I¦m a Motôrhead fan first and always). Whatever the truth is in that, it brought back something i was woundering
about back in the 80¦s. (I¦m an old bastard who has been into Motôrhead since "Ace of Spades") I have/had this album
from a band called MYOFIST. Released in 81 or 82. On A&M records if my memory serves me right. The albums
titel is "Thunder in Rock" and the cover could just as well has been on Motôrheads later coming "Iron Fist". The leadsinger
is¦nt given away (and on a later album with the groupname shortened to FIST there is a new bandmember doing that
job) but it sounds remarkingly, scaringly, very much like LEMMY!!!!!! Well, to me it does, but I¦m not a natural born
english bastard (Hey! That would make a great Motôrhead songtitle, wouldn¦t it?) so there might be some finer
points that I¦m missing. The music is almost as heavy as Motorheads but with a keyboard as complement to the bass,
drums, and guitar. Could this be a Lemmy sidejob? Remember that back in those days Motôrheads longlasting glory
wasn¦t obviously given. The first track on that album is called "Double or Nothing". The meaning inbetween the words
in the lyrics is very close to the lyrics in "Ace of Spades". (To me it seems so anyway - I point that out again)
And that could also be intrepeted as something along the line of; "If neither this or "Ace of Spades" work, I¦m done!
And the first track on the B-side is called "Better way to go". We all know Lemmy might be the trickiest lyrics-writer
ever. If he had a secret sideproject at that time, this is how I imagine he would have placed "the message" out to us
future X-files detectives." One last thing, This was a favourite album of mine for at least a short while. I
think I can even recall the listed bandmembers; Ron/Ronald Cherrier/Chenier, Jeff Nystrom, Bob Petersen/Pattersson
& Ivan Tessier/Lessier. I might be wrong on all of those - it¦s been a while - but it might help someone out there
to set me up with the correct information about this "conspiracy theory". ;-) Take Bloody Care //

Hi Ace and other fellow Motorfreaks!
Greetings from Turku, where I just met Lemmy the other day! Yes, friends, my biggest dream came true. I'm gonna give you every
detail about the fantastic meeting, but right now I don't have much time, so I'll just tell you what he told me about the
new album. It's gonna be out in April, and it's (probably) gonna be called "We Are Motorhead". He said that some songs were
finished already (they record it in Hamburg, but Lem puts on the vocals in USA), and he told me the name of one song; "One
More Fuckin' Time". He said that this record is gonna be heavier than "Snake Bite Love", so I asked him if it's gonna be more
like "Sacrifice", which he answered with a "yes, more like that". Isn't it great? We talked about a lot of things, but as
I said I gotta hurry, so to end this letter I'll just tell you that we also talked about the OS list and about you, Ace, and
he said that he thinks it's a great thing that we can meet other fans like this, etc. I'll tell you the whole story soon,

Pure scientific research, why not? Like Ace says, it's not going
to hurt your computer to run it all the time. Turn your monitor off. A CPU running
on milliamps won't skyrocket your electricity bill. Maybe we will find some
intelligent life out there. Maybe we won't. But it's worth a try, isn't? Ellard

Subject: OS: Motorhead in Helsinki
Hi all folks,
Motorhead was in town 29th of November. We were in a bar drinking a couple of beers before the gig with my band mates.
We just got the place when Lions Share (swedish heavy band) ends their set. So I can't comment about that. Dio played after
them and they were OK (sounds were very good). Then Motorhead came and they played (not in perfect order); Bomber, No Class,
Over your Shoulder, Civil War, The Chase is better.., I'm So Bad, Born to Raise Hell, Going to Brazil, Killed By Death, Sacrifice,
Take The Blame, Iron Fist, Metropolis, Orgasmatron and encores Ace of Spades, Overkill. Sounds were also very good and it
was the best gig I've seen for years! Manowar was the last and I watch only half of their set because I have already got what
I've wanted. Couple of things more.. My working mate's boyfriend is working in McDonald's and he didn't believe his eyes when
Lemmy & co came to eat there at monday evening before the gig. I would also like to be there at that moment..
Also finnish music program's (Jyrki) camera-man was at the gig and I think there are going
to be something from Motorhead in television. Check the tv-programs in Finland!
Rock on!

Hi
great to get regular info on Motorhead the greatest band in the world. However if anybody has any contact with Lemmy and co
please request that they again grace the shores of Australia. I was lucky enough to see them in 1984 and 1991 but eight years
is a long time between visits so come on guys. By the way any news on new album name heard it was "we are motorhead" true?
Also I read from time to time people getting all precious about when they did or did not become a motorhead fan -so what,
I have been a fan since Ace of Spades came out, was introduced by older brother who bought Overkill, but so what? If your
a fan your a fan, "time in" means nothing. cheers all from downunder

Subject: astoria concert review
Motôrhead concert review, The Astoria, London 3rd December - by Jamie Moss.
A tumultuous roar from the 1,600 strong crowd heralded the entrance of Lemmy and Phil Campbell, both sporting cowboy hats,
onto the stage of the London Astoria, this Friday 3rd December. Lemmy stepped up to the microphone, apparently in a little
discomfort, and hoarsly addressed the masses, "My voice is fucked! But we are STILL Motôrhead and we're STILL gonna
kick your ass!"
The format for the entire evening's set alternated superbly between the band's older material and tracks from more recent
albums. Songs came fast and furious from the Overkill, Bomber and Ace of Spades albums, as well as from 1916, Bastards, Sacrifice,
Overnight Sensation and the phenomenal Snakebite Love; all with a smattering of Iron Fist and Orgasmatron thrown in for taste!
With the pleasantries over, the band ripped straight into Bomber, which was promptly followed by No Class, to the delight
of all Motôrhead fans both young and old. The third track of the evening was the crushing Over your Shoulder from their
20th anniversary album Sacrifice, which, if memory serves, was then followed by Civil War. The mid section of the show consisted
of a good selection of songs from Motôrhead's newer 90's albums, suitably punctuated by some more "classic" tracks. Highlights
from the newer material played during the evening consisted of a fantastic rendition of Sacrifice, with the most phenomenal
drum solo by Mikkey Dee half way through, as well as the truly brutal Take the Blame. The set also included the fast paced
I'm so Bad Baby I don't Care as well as the rocking Going to Brazil and Born to Raise Hell. Great cheers erupted from the
crowd when Lemmy announced the golden oldie Metropolis, with a similar response greeting the band's playing of Iron Fist and
the fantastic doom track Orgasmatron. Nothing up my Sleeve as well as Killed by Death were also present and of particular
note amongst the older material was the inclusion of Dead Men Tell no Tales.
Phil Campbell's guitar work was a little indistinct at times but Lemmy's bass playing was triumphant throughout, the two 'Head-men
complementing each other superbly with their on stage antics, joking, heckling the crowd and rocking their axes along side
each other. Mikkey Dee remained throughout barely more than an incomprehensible blur of thrashing blonde hair. The man is
a true master of the skins and more than deserves the title of "the greatest drummer in rock and roll", that Lemmy bestows
upon him at the end of the show.
The set over, the stage lights drop, leaving just the small, red "on" lights of
the many Marshall amplifiers glowing menacingly in the dark. But Motôrhead are soon
cheered back on stage to finish the evening with "Ace of Spades" and
"Overkill", Lemmy strafing the crowd with his machine-gun bass.
If the above description sounds like that of a great show, then I must assure you that it
was, getting the "X-Fest" of UK rock magazine "Kerrang" well under
way. The audience was a mix of all ages and there was a decent amount of crowd surfing
too. The only slight downer of the night being a few spineless individuals standing near
the outside of the arena who decided to launch half full cans of beer into the moshing,
headbanging masses and more ludicrously, onto the stage. Actions which prompted Lemmy to
interdict with "Cut that out you little fuck! We're up on stage with the lights and
you're throwing stuff, you're a real hero!" All in all, it was a brilliant way to
start the weekend.

Motorheadbangers,
Two of my more current Motorhead favorites are off of Bastards "Death Or
Glory" and "I Am The Sword". I have never heard Motorhead do either of
these live at a show. Has anyone? I am still pounding away at SETI Ace but I can't catch
anyone as they got a hell of a head start! My fault of course! Allot of fun but I'm
driving my family crazy as we have a "SETI" watch to connect to the net as soon
as someone discovers a completed unit. I don't have a proxy line.

Subject: LONDON ASTORIA 4 DECEMBER 1999
Hi Ace,
After 14 months without a show, Motorhead landed last week at the London Astoria. I was
able to grab a handful of tickets for Saturday night, their last show in London this year.
I met up with some of the guys in The George for a couple of beers first. There I met a
fellow Motorheadbanger - 1801. Hi Dave!
Although the doors to the Astoria opened at 6.30, we didn't arrive until 8pm, thinking that Motorhead would hit the stage
at about 9pm. However, as soon as we arrived, we were told that Motorhead would be starting early - at 8.10pm! We dashed to
the front and tried to muscle in, only to find a wall of heaving, sweating bodies blocking our path. I managed to get one
hand on the front rail, positioning myself between a couple of guys, ready for the big push. Before we knew it, the guys hit
the stage. The rush of bodies propelled me to the front row, just in time for Bomber which was followed by No Class, I'm So
Bad and then Over Your Shoulder. 'This one is from the Overnight Sensation album' blurted Lemmy. I gave a massive roar - Lemmy
looked down at me - 'Oh, I see you bought it!' - Civil War. Then, Metropolis, Take the Blame, Overnight Sensation and Nothing
up my Sleeve. Next, Lemmy introduced Skunk Anansie and Skin joined the band for Born to Raise Hell.
Back to the famous trio for Dead Men Smell Toe Nails, Sacrifice, Orgasmatron, Going to
Brazil, Iron Fist and Killed By Death. By this time, I was completely fucked and one of
the bouncers pulled me out of the crowd. I managed to find a tap, rehydrate myself and
drag myself back to the front in time for the 2 encores - Ace of Spades and Overkill (of
course) with Ace.
This was probably the quietest Motorhead gig that I have ever been to. Sunday morning, my
ears weren't even ringing. Still, it was great fun.
You know how bouncers are normally mindless morons? Not at the Astoria on Saturday. The
guys at the front had bottles of water which they were dishing out all evening. They even
had seriously powerful water pistols, firing water into the crowd to cool them down. These
guys were hero's.
The only disappointment was the total lack of merchandise. Some guy was selling T-shirts
in the streets. I bought one but it was shit.
Roll on year 2000 - 25th anniversary will be the best ever.
MAKE 'EM DEAF FOREVER.

ATTENTION:OS Iwent to the Atlanta show and it was one of the crowning achievments of my life. I have been a fan of motorhead
for about ten yyears, but had never been able to see them in concert.(to have seen the allmighty Black Sabbath and Motorhead
in the same year. Two of the four down.) The best part of the evening was when the guitarist from Nashville Pussy
took us backstage to meet the band as a birthday gift for my best friend, josh. It was one of the best things that
ever happened to us. It shocked the hell out of me thatr he had seen and remembered me from the concert! That
was the absolute shit, man.
On another note, I thought that Impotent Sea Snakes put on a great show. yes it was
more about the stage show than the music, but the music wasn't bad(they played one of the
only"college rock" songs i like "These are People wh Died" By Mojo
Nixon) and the stage show killed. naked women, industrial tools, candle wax, doggie
biscuits, and the most awesome dominatrix on the planet, MADAM ZEDORA. Don't believe
the bullshit you read on the band, check them out and decide for yourself.
Nashville pussy rocked. I loved their set. The best was when the
guitarist came out in her Halloween costume. Ted Nugent with an added bra,
unfortunatly. Complete with Compuond bow and arrows. Brautiful. Glucifer
sucks. The guy looks like the singer from Smashmouth(dresses like him to) and tries
to sing like Glenn Danzig. Loser. YOU SUCK! sUCK! SUCK! sUCK!

Subject: os: lemmy wanted groop dogdrill?
Good news !!!! I have the answer to the endless and boring arguments about who is the best drummer.
I managed to talk my Fiancee into coming with me to the Astoria last Friday, As she has
always had the (Mistaken) impression that all Motorhead fans would look a lot like Hells
Angels
Unsuprisingly (For us) she really enjoyed the show and without prompting asked if she
could come to the next tour.
The revelation about this volte face came with the comment: " That Drummer is superb, he's the best I have ever seen." SO
there we are, a new fan and one to answer the question which has plagued us for issues.
For the record, I loved the show, but then I knew I would ! I thought that the pa was very quiet, not that I minded,
I thought it quite a new experience not being deaf for a couple of days.
I also say Cheers to Lemmy, even with the throat problem he had, he managed a full set, It did affect the in betweens
but many bands would have cancelled , we should be grateful.
I was amazed he went a full set, there were some right twats in the audience throwing bottles / cans / plastic glasses,
some of which went very close, Why can't these twats go and pick a fight with security.
IN answer to the guitarist / line up debate, I stand with Homer Ramone: We should enjoy the great stuff that they
produce today rather than whine on about yesterday,
Cheers

5 UK hit And not forgetting other true Fans favorites like "Train

cover of Blue Suede Shoes on an Elvis Tribute Album Mix that with Lemmy's live
version of Good Golly Miss Molly on UK TV and every cover has its place. I agree Cat
Scratch Fever is poor but covering old sixties songs in True Motorhead style still sends a

Hey, Ace - Keep up the good work, I really enjoy reading OS! It is a pleasant break
from the mundane straight world, to read fellow Motorheadbangers' concert reviews,
experiences and opinions. RE: censorship, I agree that some of the
"contributions" have been ugly and pointless; HOWEVER, although I hate racism
and meanness in general, what I hate even more, is fascism, i.e. censorship and the like.
I prefer freedom of speech even though, on occasion, this allows some asshole to
make nasty comments. Bottom line, the subscribers are mostly intelligent, thoughtful
people and we can identify bullshit when we see it. We don't need fuckin'
censorship!
I admit, I do tire of the endless debates: "that album sucked/ he is a better/worse
drummer," etc. But, this seems to occur in all the rock fan newsletters that I
have ever seen, maybe we just have to live with it.Z

maybe we could all get together!

Subject: the grammys 'n' other "awards"
I don't see why ANY metalheads should give half a soggy condom about the grammys or about any awards. First off, it aint what
metal\rock 'n' roll is about. Secondly, even if it was, we've gotten pissed on often enough to tell them to go to hell. Thirdly,
we don't need them or their fucking awards, we've gotten along just fine without their support, thank you very much. This
is more an attempt to glorify themsleves. They finally realize what a great, important band Motorhead is and we're supposed
to thank them for it? Fuck that. The arguement can be made that winning\being nominated for the grammys will bring MH much-deserved
success and dollars, but really, I doubt that many people are gonna get into MH just because they win some award, and those
who do, we probably wouldn't want anyway.
Even if they win, they should take a cue from Black Sabbath's
handling of the Rock and Roll hall of fame's nomination of BS for induction and tell 'em
to go to hell. Metal doesn't need their crap, and Metal doesn't fucking want it. DEATH TO
POSERS!
**Ace: I guess the other side to this coin is that if they were to get a nod from
the Grammys, there might be a bunch of people that have never heard of Motorhead that
might be inspired to check them out. Thats a good thing, right?

Subject: os : astoria london, saturday 4th.
Had a wonderful time at the Astoria gig on Saturday. Good crowd who made plenty of noise. Where I was standing the crowd sung
Bomber louder than the PA!!!! The set list was full of stormers, I'm So Bad, Nothing Up My Sleeve, Iron Fist. Oh heaven this
was...........I was particularly happy to hear Dead Men Smell Toe Nails. An old one which Lemmy said was so old even he couldn't
remember it and he wrote it. I love the humour in this band. Phil asked if we wanted it louder. He said, Hobbsy, turn it up..............but
not too much. We don't want blood all over the place' and when Lem was tuning his Bass he said that 'It was alright for Jazz'.
The now regular London 'Friends & Family' section came in two parts toinght. Part 1 -> Nina from Skew and Skin from
Skunk Anansie came on to sing backing on Born To Raise Hell. Part 2 -> Ace from Skunk joined in guitar on Overkill at the
end. The set list was Bomber, No Class, I'm So Bad, Over You Shoulder (how do they play that rhythm?), Civil War, Metro, Take
The Blame, Nothing Up My Sleeve, Born To Raise Hell, Dead Men Tell No Tails, Sacrifice, Orgasmatron, Iron Fist (surpise slot),
Killed By Death then encores of Ace of Bloody Spades and Overkill.
Going To Brazil was also played but I didn't write it down.
I thouroughly enjoyed the night. I did see someone who looked like Sarmad carrying a bag.
However the chap I saw didn't have crazy eyes and blood coming form his mouth so it
couldn't have been him. anybody who has seen his web page will know whatI mean.
The only thing that dissapointed me was the dropping of the other new oldies (Too Late Too
Late, Shine etc). I missed the October tour last year so probably won't get to see these
tracks live, unless of course they are included in next years tour. Lem
did briefly mention that Motorhead would be ploughing the country next year, oh
bliss..................... rgds,
