Went to see Motorhead the other day…..my ears are still ringing!! I’ve been to loud gigs I work in a loud environment but holy crap I have never heard anything like this. When they say they play the loudest they’re not kidding!!

I managed to get to the venue to see The Damned who seemed to be on stage just as long as the head-line act!! I think they had to be physically removed in order to let Motorhead on!!

Lemmy has got to be one of the coolest front men in any band. He didnt even move from his mic stand, well there was the odd occasion where he put his foot up on the front speakers. He can even pull off the robot arm raise. The man just sweats sleaze….

I’m not too familiar with the entire back catalogue for Motorhead, well they have been going for around 30 years! I did recognise some of the tunes….through the roar of the amps, Bomber and Ace of Spades were clearly standards. I dont think you could see Motorhead and not have them play Ace of Spades. They played a few tracks off the new album and did the odd cover, but the one song that really surprised me was an acoustic track named Whorehouse Blues. Its pretty odd even though it was much quieter than the whole set it still seemed to fit in.

Stay Clean and Killed by Death were also in the mix. Killed by Death is a quality tune!! One thing with Motorhead is that they are consistently good, some bands can lose their way with their sound or sell out and produce inferior music. I’ll be going to see them again…..though will be prepared for the audio battering my ears will take!!
