No shit Sherlock.

When my kids were little, like 1 and 2 1/2, after bath time they would run laps around the kitchen butt nekked with "Ace Of Spades" cranked. The run around nekked song thay called it.

 
Motorhead does rule. Lemmy used to boff Samantha Fox, who I used to be in love with. But did you know that Lemmy wrote/writes? an advice column for Jane Magazine? That's what VH1's least metal moments said.

 
Used to be in love with?

No actually I meant the one from the 80s. I'm 39 years old and this is the one I remember.

The younger sluttier version.

Samantha Fox dated Paul Stanley for a while. She was the inspiration for the song "Heart Of Chrome" on the Revenge album. Paul really did not have fond memories of her.

Heart Of Chrome

Revenge

Lyrics

You better listen up

Since you screwed me you've been on my mind

Yeah, 'til the day we met

I was cruisin', I was doin' fine

Ooh, but now my world's gone crazy

And I think about you all the time

I'm gonna tell it to ya baby, it ain't like it was

There'll be no ifs ands or maybes, only justice because

[Chorus]

Hey, baby (I got an angry soul, I got a broken home)

I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome

(I got no self-control, you gotta heart of chrome)

Yeah, sugar (and now you're gonna see, that since you messed with me)

I'm gonna stick it in your heart of chrome

(You'll pay eternally, for your heart of chrome)

For your heart of chrome

[Verse]

Yeah, you really made a fool outta me

Everybody knew you used me

But I was just too blind to see

You taped our sexy conversations

And you sold 'em to the BBC

You told me people can't be trusted

You gotta watch the things they do

But if you still believe in justice

I'm gonna give it to ya, give it to ya

Ooh!

[Chorus]

[solo]

You told me lies about all that you feel

I realize now that nothing was real

You took everything you could beg borrow steal

"'e don't play bass; 'e plays rhythm guitar." ---Phil Taylor

I've written here before that Lemmy is THE major influence on my performance playing and singing; Jack Bruce a close second.

Have survived two interviews w/ Ol' Snaggletooth. Actually an easier task than Da Nuge or certain rock stars that ACT like they're rock stars, who therefore will remain nameless.

Songs that open w/ Lemmy's bass when a lotta listeners might have thought it was a guitar:

"Ace of Spades"-the de facto example

"Motorhead"

"Boogieman"-from the ROCK AND ROLL album, this studio one is probably the loudest and clearest (admittedly, an oxymoron for Lemmy) of 'em all, and it absolutely slays...even if the song riff when the rest of the band kicks in rips off Ray Charles' "What'd I Say."

Other killer bass intro riffs:

"I Don't Believe A Word"-from OVERNIGHT SENSATION, sounds sorta like the Lem-meister is sawing on his bass with a violin bow, but I don't think that's the case.

"Overnight Sensation": The title track intro riff will decapitate some listeners.

There are more I could name, but it might take a while to suss 'em out, on accounta I just took an inventory and I've got---JEEZUS!---24 Motorhead CDs + the STONE DEAF FOREVER box set.

And to think, my band Force Fed was the only opening act for them at Sneakers in Austin back in 94, I think it was for the 1916 album. My ears are still damaged from that show.

 
What?

Motorhead is the real deal indeed. As for hearing loss, I blame 90% of whatever hearing issues I have on the Cult's "Electric" album. In my little Mazda RX7 in '87 or so, my head placed (in)convieniently between the very loud rear speakers through a great little car stereo, I'd put the tape in and HAD to listen to the whole thing at earsplitting volume. Was thinking that today when my ears were rattling a little while listening to "Born To Be Wild" on the way to band practice.

Ah, good times.

 
They are great.

My friends in the Swedish band Crucified Barbara are just now on tour with them in the UK. Check it out if you are in the neighbourhood. News here:

I saw Lemmy in Hawkwind at the Phantsy Theater in the early 70's next time he's in Cleveland he is fronting this band Motorhead, never heard of them before thought it would be like Hawkwind. Show it was at this old movie theater on West 117th and Detroit, it was old and paint and plaster was falling off the very high ceilings. First concert ever at this spot, so some opening bands go on can't remember who but I noticed when I went out to the lobby that there was a bunch of fireman and cops hanging around.

So Motorhead comes and cranks up the first song, don't remember what it was, but OH MY GOD! It sounded like a freaking 747 was taking off and we were half-way back! I had my hands over my ears, I'm sticking filters from smokes in them, holy shit! It was good just a tad too loud, second song starts up and you see some fireman and cops by the side of the stage talking to the roadies and the the roadie is shaking his head.

Song is over roadie goes out to Lemmy and Lemmy is shaking his head goes over the the bass and guitar player, they shake their heads. They start-up get about 10 seconds into and bam! The power is turned off, they storm off, some fireman comes out they turn on the PA and he says sorry but this concert is too loud and is violation of local ordinances or some shit like that. So that's it we file out and the fireman are standing in the lobby looking at something I walk over and they are saying "130DBs will cause these kids to go deaf in a manner of minutes glad we pulled the plug".

So bought there first album the next day and the next and next until I moved on to other things but Motorhead just rips. Its funnu I was just on youtube last night and was watching all kind of Motorhead videos and interviews.

I love Motorhead too. Especially the original line-up with Fast Eddie and Phil. "Another Perfect Day" with Thin Lizzy's Brian Robertson is another favorite.

 
I saw Motorhead at a Thrasher Magazine ASR party a few years back with Nebula opening(great band too) at Cannes in San Diego(about 500 people maybe). They had these half-cyclinder stacks on either side of the stage which had probably 16x12" speakers in em. It looked like enough power to play an arena. Needless to say when I went up close to take some photos with my brand new high end digi cam it was so loud my camera froze up. I was paniced and pissed. I had to go in the bathroom and pop the batteries out and put them back in to get it to power up again. I remember Lemmy asked the mostly skater crowd. How many of you are long hairs? Of course he got boo'ed and promptly went into a killer version of the Sex Pistols "God save the Queen". He had the white boots and whiskey going. Super good time.

 
yeah..yeah ...yeah... Motorhead are the coolest band ever...and as for Lemmy...a truly great guy

BUT....

lets return to the former Page 3 girl Samantha Fox, who did release a rock album as part of her plan to rule the world...I'm not saying it was bad...but anyone remember the album Don Johnson did (although I must admit there were a couple of good songs on it !)...

anyway back to guitars and stuff...I believe she still owns a Kramer Ferrington...but the best thing about her album was that it featured Pat McManus on a couple of tracks. He was the guitarist with Irish rock band Mama's Boys who were just sooooo great. He was also some sort of Irish Fiddle champion...so just as you would expect a jaw-dropping, wailing guitar solo...he would pull his violin out and you would have a 'metal fiddle' solo...as the Irish say...pure Genius !
