Title: Almost 40 years....
Post by: Tony Nitrous on Sunday, 25 August 2019, 12:15 PM
F#ck knows how many bikes, I stopped counting a while back in the UK after 50,
just saw a pic from when I was 16 and realised I was wearing another Motörhead
T-shirt today, so out came the camera.

Pictures are nearly 40 years apart...

I still have all their early LP's. Had a wee drink with Lemmy think about 1979 Robinsons Bar Belfast before a concert. Those days they where backed up by Girlschool and Rose Tattoo.

@Irish in Oz Lemmy was a bit of a character by all reports, so you must have had lots to discuss  :facepalm: :doh: :frustrated:

"Ace of Spades" played live on "The Young Ones" when I was a kid. Loved Lemmy's raspy voice.  :notworthy: :notworthy:

I try and stay around 80kg's Chris, rarely much over.
It helps as I'm on my feet all day, like to run and the bikes aren't dragging too much weight around!

Followed Motörhead for as long as I can remember.
Much prefer the Lemmy, Phil and Eddie line up.
Saw them heaps of times when I lived in the UK.
Bomber, Ace of Spades, no sleep till Hammersmith, Orgasmatron, Iron Fist tours etc.

I think I was without a bike for 2 weeks, around July 2004.

It was horrible.

An interesting list of who he's shagged and who he's sacked along with his view on fame and a career in music.
