The webmaster, north Bucks:
I wanted to see just if the Loudest Band In the World tag held
true as well as wanting to see Motorhead do some fine stuff. I also
decided it would be dead clever (along with a mate) to stand in front of
the PA with my head practically resting inside one of the cabinets in the
hope I would actually be deafened. I was disappointed this didn’t happen
(although ears my rang like hell afterwards) and that The Clash earlier in
1980 were even louder.
Also if I hadn’t have been standing in such a stupid place (I was
unlucky though), I may not have been hit by flying shrapnel from the
initial explosion of their Bomber lighting rig. I thought I was imagining
it until I sat in the bar and felt a lump on my head which by the end of
the evening started to resemble an egg. We didn’t have compensation
culture in those days…..not that I would have, it’s not the way we thought
then!
Motorhead and Lemmy seem absolutely timeless
and ageless. Still the loudest band around, Motorhead are still rocking
and packing them in 35 years on.
