Motorhead: C or D

RIP big man

listening to No Sleep Til' Hammersmith, man this just torches the studio albums, damn

"The Watcher" <was> a Hawkwind song! His first writer's credit with them, on Doremi...

Just woke up into a world that does not have Lemmy in it. Sigh...

This situation basically sucks and puts my own recent problems into sharp perspective. RIP Lemmy.

All the obvious tribute songs have been played already, but broadcasting that two minutes after the announcement? Oh, Matinee Idle. It's what he would've wanted.

RIP Lemmy, Valhalla will be a LOUDER place today.

I'm so bummed last night/today - his 70 years are a hurricane on this earth, and we're now in the eye - I want someone/some band to really take up the backwind. I'm especially going to miss the camaraderie at Motörhead shows, I can almost count two hands of times I had a beer of mine spilt, and then promptly, friendly replaced by someone who was as into the show as I was ...

didn't the other band members say in no uncertain terms that mötorhead died with lemmy? it's done

r.i.p. the band, long live the brand

I filled in for the host at a bar quiz tonight. I played Motörhead and Hawkwind tracks between rounds. I had to conduct a tiebraker, which I chose to do in the form of an AirGuitar-Off.

I picked "Ace of Spades" for the song.

One of my contestants in this contest hopped up on a table and then jumped off.

He did this for a $5 giftcard to the bar.

I posted a bunch of motorhead songs on facebook on tuesday with one linked in the OP and several following in the comments down below. Last night, I got a solitary "Like" from my dad, for the song 1916. He's an old peacenik, so I can see a ballad mourning the brutality of war being right up his alley. But it was toward the end of the pack so I'm imagining him sitting through a slew of live renditions of more classic Motorhead tracks like Overkill and Iron Fist before he got there.

Spotted a tall stack of flyers for the upcoming Motörhead gig at a luxury department store today, on the counter of the perfume section.

Feel like my intro to Lemmy may have been Del Preston from Wayne's World 2.

first thing i see when i click that article is a photo of fucking dave grohl

so sick of dave grohl.

saw a nice clip of Triple H's speech at the memorial

listening to Motorhead and On Parole today. i prefer the On Parole versions of these songs, especially "Vibrator", which has a really cool trippy Revolver-style drone ending. i can't seem to find that version on youtube otherwise i'd post it.

On Parole is such an incredible album. i have a hard time picking between it and Space Ritual

they recorded it in 1975. that is insane. had anything as fast as this album in rock been done before?

its GOOD to be FREE again

its GOOD to be ME again

stop me now before i kill myself
stop me now before i kill myself
stop me now before i kill myself
stop me before i kill somebody else

you never know who's gonna be the next to go

really the only analogs i can think of are proto-rock garage and psych speed freak anthems like "My Generation" and "Psychotic Reaction"

this would be a really nice day for someone to leak a Lemmy-Hendrix jam, they must have taped something sometime.

if not then they are now. RIP

if not then they are now. RIP

the motorhendrix experience!

i prefer the On Parole versions of these songs

They're really, really good - as a fan of the Pink Fairies w/Larry Wallis, hearing him play with Lemmy is awesome and I kind of wonder how it would've gone if he'd stayed with the band. I mean, just in an alternate universe sci-fi scenario, you know, because I wouldn't want to lose Overkill, Bomber or Ace of Spades.

This from last year is very Lemmy:

There ain't no rules to follow, you can't predict tomorrow
I know just who my friends are, the rest can turn to stone
Your memories are yours alone;
They're yours until your dust and bones
I know the things I'm looking for, I know just what I want

In my life the times has changed, I'm still the man I was
I don't want to hear your fairy tales
All I know is who I am; I'll never let you down
The last one you can trust until the end, until the end

In your life, you'll be amazed at all the love you lose
You can never live that life again
The one thing you will never lose is the singing in your head
That will still be with you until the end

Listening to bunches of Motorhead over the past few years, I got to say their discography is very consistent. There are good tunes on all of the later records with Phil and Mikkey Dee. I'd think as time goes on, you will see quite a few covers come out from other bands on their list of songs. You could make a damn good rockabilly record of all Motorhead covers.

People say it about many (underserving) bands, but Motorhead really never fell off.

Fast Eddie's lead vocal turn with Motorhead on "Step Down" from Bomber.

aw man, RIP. I can always appreciate any Motorhead, but the Fast Eddie-era was always my favourite, particularly for this one:

RIP Eddie. Step Down is a jam btw, but then so was pretty much everything he did with Motorhead.
