Motorhead: C or D

I've been contemplating that the 1981 Who track "The Quiet One" was Entwistle taking on Motorhead, the way "Rough Boys" and other Townshend tracks of the era are directed to the punks.

If I was a big music manager mogul working for Ozzy Osbourne, I would tell him to make a cover of "Till the End" off the last Motorhead record.

"The Quiet One" would have been an excellent song for Motorhead to cover.

Lots of excellent tracks on the last few albums, always underrated as a songwriter.

That fairly recent covers collection was good too: Lemmy was a fair judge of other people's songs as well.

Lemmy would have been 74 today. I'm listening to a live concert from 1983, included as a bonus disc with the deluxe edition of the very underrated Another Perfect Day. Brian Robertson was a great choice to be their guitarist; it's a shame he didn't want to fully commit to the Motörhead weltanschauung.

yeah was listening to Another Perfect Day for the first time a couple weeks ago

really a great album, he added a lot on guitar

Lemmy died 5 years ago today

:(

Considering the number of musicians who dies in 2016, I'm reminded of his comment on the line "I don't wanna live forever" from 'Ace Of Spades': "I'd like to die the year before forever, to avoid the rush."

Yes was just thinking of the count in 2016.

WIll depend on Rollins tolerance but this long tribute podcast is really good: https://www.henryrollins.com/podcasts/2018/8/29/henry-heidi-podcast-lemmy

I still have the flyer for their scheduled Feb 2016 show (with Saxon & Girlschool!) on my refrigerator door.

On Leno in 1992. I love Lemmy goes over to the house band and gives Branford something before his short interview with Jay.

I forgot that the quartet lineup lasted almost a decade.
