    Just got this from hot press on e-mail.
    WOuldn't float my boat but maybe some of the regulars here might be intrested...


    "okay, listen up children. we are writing to you slightly early this week.
    and you will understand why when we tell you that we're conducting the next
    of our Mixed Grill pop-personage inquisitions this Wednesday.

    The fella in the questions box, you may be interested to hear, is none other
    than godfather of metal and star of the upcoming Xtreme festival, Lemmy out
    of Motorhead.

    So send your questions for Mr Ace Of Spades, to us - at asklemmy@hotpress.ie
    - and we shall duly pass em on.
    To read more about this deeply kooky feature of ours, and to scan a potted
    biography of the man in order to get your question-forming juices flowing,
    and to see a lovely picture of a man in muttonchops and cowboy hat, go to
    http://www.hotpress.com/broadcast/mixedgrill/1760459.html
    To read about the all-screaming, all-moshing, tattoo-and-skateboard-related
    behaviour on deck for the Xtreme Festival, and to be in with a chance to win
    tickets and (if you're hard enough) backstage passes, go to
    http://www.hotpress.com/competition/xtreme.html

    Enjoy.
    We now return you to your regularly scheduled emails.

    A shiny new thread dedicated to possibly one of the greatest bands in rock music...... Motorhead, a thread for civilized discussion on all lineups of the band

    Always enjoyed them, have quite a few albums, yet to see them live though. Dont think my ear could handle it.

    They have without a doubt carved out their own special place in the pantheon of rock/metal.

    Aftershock can sit proudly alongside their classic albums

    Love them.....was at their gig in the Ambassador a few years back, was brilliant!


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Motorhead are heading back on the road in support of their Aftershock in February to play rescheduled dates, due to Lemmy's health issue during the summer

    I find their albums pretty damn repetitive tbh, but saw them in Hamburg in 2005 and it was an awesome gig. Lemmy sounds as good as he did in the 70s

    I even based my movember mo on Lemmy's :)


  • Registered Users Posts: 5,449 ✭✭✭blastman


    Saw them once aeons ago when Robbo was playing with them. They were so loud it was physically painful (at an outdoor gig!) I love the classic era albums but wouldn't have followed them religiously in recent years. Having said that, I really like the new album.


  • Registered Users Posts: 552 ✭✭✭Salmon Leap


    Bought Aftershock recently, well impressed with it. Have never seen them live, although No Sleep til Hammersmith is almost always in the car selection.


  • Registered Users Posts: 22,231 ✭✭✭✭endacl


    Loudest band I ever heard. Ever. Or will hear. Ever.

    Favourite album? No Remorse. Why? Because it's the special edition vinyl with the cover art painted in silver on a leather sleeve!

    :D

    Saw Motorhead for the first (and so far only) time at the Kings Of Rock Festival in Dalymount, when Robbo was the guitarist. It was so loud it was physically painful, and that's at an outdoor venue!! Definitely want to see them again at some stage, I liked Aftershock a lot, so much I bought the picture disc.


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Haven't seen 'em yet, but they are definitely on the list of bands i want to see live.


  • Registered Users Posts: 37,295 ✭✭✭✭the_syco


    Saw them in 2011 at Bloodstock. They played sh|te, and finished 20 minutes early. Lemmy sounded, and looked, like he has two litres of Jemmy before he came on, and slurred through the songs. The band claimed that they all had an illness, but it put me off wanting to ever see the band live again.

    Luckily I had been looking forward to Gravedigger at Bloodstock, and they were awesome!


  • Registered Users Posts: 52 ✭✭Plastic Cavanman


    I hope they come to tour over here, they are on my list of bands that I haven't seen but really want to.


  • Registered Users Posts: 11,911 ✭✭✭✭scudzilla


    Seen Motorhead many times over the years but the last 10yrs they have been very hit or miss, you're either gonna be blown away by them or they'll be diabolically bad


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    Motorhead have been nominated in the Best Metal Performance @ The Grammy's for Heartbreaker, and they'll begin work on album #22 in January with Cameron Webb handling the production side of things.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 505 ✭✭✭Koptain Liverpool


    I really like Motorhead and have seen them a few times in the past few years.

    One complaint for me is that they have played the same setlist nearly everytime.

    They´d want to be shaking it up a bit for me to go and see them again.


  • Registered Users Posts: 152 ✭✭idontlikefig


    I really do think that they will come here in 2015. On Facebook they keep putting up status' "where should we go" and I am seeing more "come to Ireland"s than anything else. I have that feeling. Where do you think they would play? The Academy? 3arena? They played Ambassador last time I think. I just hope they come and its not an 18+ gig


  • Registered Users Posts: 48,990 ✭✭✭✭Lithium93_


    If Motorhead come to Ireland in 2015, i will definitely be buying a ticket to go see them.

    I'm loving a track by them recently I discovered on Youtube called "Whorehouse Blues".

    Is there any other tracks similar that Motorhead have?

    Would appreciate suggestions.

    God was never on your side, Lost woman blues and Orgasmatron maybe? Slower 'moody' tracks.

    Also you might like Lemmy's spin off band 'Headcat' which do a lot of 1950s covers.
