    Hmm.. I'm a rock fan, but I can't listen to more than 15 seconds to
    Motorhead. Infact, I think they sound pretty similar to Elvis Costello!
    
    Still, horses for courses I 'spose.

    Anyone heard Attila the Stockbroker's "Ace of Spades"? The
    existentialist version as performed by Jean Paul Satre. Come to 
    think of it Stuart, Attila's got some pretty good songs about 
    Crystal Palace which are less than flattering.

Attila The Stockbroker is an intellectual dwarf. This is proven by his 
fondness for the Seaweed.

    I believe Attila the Stockbroker hails from Harlow, in Essex. 'Nuff
    said.

The british band Lawnmower Deth has a very good cover of "Motorhead" on their
last "Ooh crikey it's ..." album.
My problem with Mot�rhead is/was the sound quality. Has it became better on
"1916" ? I recognise they have a place apart in rock music and I like some of
their better sounding songs ("Ace of spades", something about crew and others).

Sorin

    Worrying about the sound quality of a Motorhead album is like worrying
    about the colour of the fluffy dice hanging in your Ferrari.

    Its not meant to be listened to while you're shopping in Sainsburys.

    Although that'd be something to savour; think of all those housewives
    getting all aggressive to the strains of "Killed by Death". Sales of
    Special Brew and Vodka would go through the roof. Mmm! Death/Speed
    metal supermarkets, a novel business venture! No doubt someone's
    already opened one in L.A. 
    
    Yours sincerely

    Yup, there's one on every corner in West Hollywood.  The police
    stand outside with their clubs in hand waiting for unsuspecting 
    glam-speed-metal housewives to jaywalk (a felony in LA,) then they
    lay it into them.  Police Chief (aka Grand Pooba) Gates gives the
    officers (aka Klansmen) gold stars for every housewife they put
    out of commission.  He then declares what a wonderful job he does
    keeping the streets safe for Jackson Browne/Eagles et al fans...the
    true Calfornians.

    Our Lem and Motorhead now "hang out" in L.A. Asked what he preferred
    about the City of Angels as opposed to Lovely London, him with the warts
    mentioned the fact that it's hotter and that the female populus wear
    less clothing. Brutally honest and definitely not a "new man" is our
    Lem. 
    
    Read a strange thing in the N.M.E the other week. Rick Astley, lovely
    chap, was the subject of one of these profiles, similar to the sort of
    thing you got in Shoot years ago where every footballer said their
    favourite pop star was Neil Diamond. Young Astley was asked something
    along along the lines of "Are you hard"? and the blue eyed soulster 
    replied "Just ask Phil Taylor". Surely not "Filthy" Phil Taylor, tub
    thumper with Motorhead I ask? My God! How terrible. How could you take
    the stage with the hardest band in the world, facing thousands of
    spotty denim jackets worshipping your every grimace, KNOWING that you
    had in fact been trashed by Rick "tougher than the rest" Astley.
    
    I await the truth.  8-)

    Lemmy - the first man to make warts a fahion accessory =8*)

    I'd say it was a close run thing between Lemmy and Edgar Winter. Check 
    out the cover of "They Only Come Out At Night" ( his warts that is ) for
    sheer warty glory. A truly awesome affair that ranks as probably the
    worst LP cover of all time.
    
    Barry.
    
    p.s. If facial moles count then Stephanie De Sykes (yo!) is up there with 
    the best of them.              
    
    
    

    I once shifted a piano for Motorhead -- God knows what they wanted it
    for -- in Plymouth. The prize was tickets for the gig, second prize was
    two sets of tickets. Struck me as a nice bloke, did Lemmy.

	Lemmy told me a joke once, but as it's a bit racist I won't
	repeat it here...

	Jonathan.

    Never had the pleasure of speaking to the man meself. However I did
    spot him, pint in hand, outside an Eversholt Street hostelry many years
    ago. Needless to say all young children that passed his way sobbed
    hysterically and small furry animals died.

    I met Lemmy and Wurzel at a Uriah Heap gig, and they were both wasted
    out of their brains!!

    My friend's wife was once Lemmy's goilfriend.

    Bob,
    
    Is that the Manhattan pronounciation of Girlfriend? 
    
    Barry  :-)
           

    That's right, Barry, as in "Take back your mink, take back your poils,
    what makes you think that I am one of those goils?"
    
    However, as far as I know, Motorhead never covered this one.
    
    Bob

re .19

Bob,

If it's any consolation, I never thought that you were one of those goils.

Paul

I don't believe that's the New Yawk pronunciation of girls...

Jersey City perhaps...

Ed

Sounds like Brooklyn to me...

I once got extremely wasted with exactly half of Girlschool ;-)

    You mean Grols, presumably?
    
    Piers

    Pretty awful bunch they were apart form "Emergency". Used to support
    Motorhead a lot in the early days as well if I remember rightly and 
    did'nt the original bass player come complete with Marty Feldman(sp?) 
    like eyes (Enid I think her name was). Those all girl bands, remember
    Rock Goddess? (guffaw), used to keep the black eyeliner/mascara
    industry in particularly good health. Cruelty without Beauty. :-)
    
    
    
    
    

	Motorhead lost their way when Larry Wallis left.

	p1

    God! That's stretching it. That would have been around the time the 
    band were signed to Stiff or Chiswick? He went off to The Pink Fairies
    did'nt he? The other O'Hagan would remember Larry Wallis and by the way
    Mike, if you're wondering where that Chiswick 12" of Motorhead
    "Motorhead" went, I stole it from you years ago. Must be worth a few 
    bob by now?
    
    Barry.

    Larry Wallis came *from* the Pink Fairies before Motorhead. I believe
    he went back there later. Mind you, they were a lot better with Paul
    Rudolph - with Larry Wallis, the Fairies could stagger from brilliance
    to total cak, sometimes within the same song.

    There was I, stumbling round the Computer Games department of the
    Virgin Megastore and what catches my eye? Why, Motorhead the computer
    game of course! Your task is to guide an animated (surely not?)
    Lemmy through his toughest assignment yet or so the spiel on the
    back cover goes. Having had his band and road crew kidnapped (!!??) 
    Lemmy sets out on this adventure having only "beer cans and whisky 
    bottles" (should'nt that be Vodka?) as weapons. The whole thing comes 
    complete with a suitable soundtrack which is no doubt guaranteed to 
    frighten your grandmother and melt your PC. 
    
    barry. 
    
    barry.  

    Motorhead the game got a brief writeup in Computer Grauniad yesterday
    too. I thought I was dreaming when I saw+heard Lemmy on the TV ads for
    some life assurance outfit, now in THE Guardian too, wharttever next.
