Phantom 2,532 Posted March 13, 2015 I'm going to see Motorhead (and the Stranglers) at the Eden Project in Cornwall in June. It will be odd hearing speed metal in a tropical biome, but I look forward to studying the form. I wonder if Lemmy will take the heat and humidity in to account before deciding how big his dose of amphetamines should be. If you get the chance, asked Jean-Jacques Burnel if he ever danced naked round that totem pole in Wibsey when he was a student. He'll know what I'm talking about. I can email Jake Burns to ask him. Jake's been out drinking with Jean-Jacques the past few nights. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sir Creep 7,070 Posted April 26, 2015 I love Lemme and Mötorhead, so it pains me to post this. Seems he's ill again, enough to cancel the tour. SC http://ultimateclassicrock.com/motorhead-cancels-monsters-of-rock/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted April 27, 2015 I love Lemme and Mötorhead, so it pains me to post this. Seems he's ill again, enough to cancel the tour. SC http://ultimateclassicrock.com/motorhead-cancels-monsters-of-rock/ The important information being that his diabetes is a day-to-day issue. Motorhead and The Stranglers are booked for a double header at the Eden Project before too long. Anyone hereabouts got tickets and able to give us an eyewitness account?

maryportfuncity 10,639 Posted June 25, 2015 BBC 4 planning 30 mins of highlights from his set at Glasto tomorrow. It's a weird looking bill now. Motorhead supporting the Foos was inspired, but he'll have to impress those bagging their positions for Florence and the Machine now. This could be interesting, might show his tender side and perform "Don't Let Daddy Kiss me." Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deathray 2,940 Posted June 26, 2015 He looked in reasonable nick although he's one one of those that could drop dead overnight and we wouldn't be in the least surprised! Look beyond the appearance.

He's the frontman of a metal band and stood still at his mike all through the set. He's the lead vocalist and bass player, of course he's going to stand still at his mic throughout the set. Whenever I've been to see them he often has done just that. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
msc 18,436 Posted June 27, 2015 Even back in 2001 when I first heard of Motorhead, Lemmy would stand by the mic and mumble the lyrics. It's just his style. I do love that he got fired from Hawkwind for his drug use though. A bit like getting fired from the Tea Party for being too right wing. 2 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

When Mark Radcliffe interviewed him I noticed his (Lemmy's) right hand was shaking, though I think he'd probably done the pre-lash before going on stage. Don't think he has Parkinsons.

DevonDeathTrip 2,358 Posted June 28, 2015 I'm going to see Motorhead (and the Stranglers) at the Eden Project in Cornwall in June. It will be odd hearing speed metal in a tropical biome, but I look forward to studying the form. I wonder if Lemmy will take the heat and humidity in to account before deciding how big his dose of amphetamines should be. Dream gig DDT. My mates and I - who like a few beers and a loud band - attempt to see every tour by both of those. We - kind of - adopted The Stranglers after Lemmy's health problems cut Motorhead's touring schedule and took them away from the kind of toilet venues we frequent. I'm envious of you getting those two, on one bill, in that venue. It was a great night out. This was the fourth time I've seen Motorhead over a period of about 20 years and, whatever Lemmy's health problems may be, it hasn't altered the band's on stage presence in the slightest. They were just as good as ever. The gig was actually outdoors, adjacent to the domes, rather than inside them, which was probably for the best. I'm not really a Stranglers fan, but I enjoyed their set as well, although, rather disturbingly, a middle aged lady in the crowd appeared to drink an entire bottle of neat gin and passed out right in front of me before the fun had really started. I thought it was a piece of performance art until the St John's Ambulance crew showed up. We met loads of old friends we hadn't seen for ages and ended up at an all night party on Bodmin Moor, which was still going strong when we left at 9am 3 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I do love that he got fired from Hawkwind for his drug use though. A bit like getting fired from the Tea Party for being too right wing. It wasn't so much that he got fired for his drug use, it's that he was detained at customs in Canada thus causing issues on their tour. If it had been on another occassion, then I don't think Dave Brock would have been so bothered. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Saxon follow Blue Oyster Cult during Saturday daylight, so have them marked in before loading up on beer and watching Camel close on the prog stage that night. Might do Joanne Shaw Taylor instead of Greg Allman at close of play on Sunday, though only if Seasick Steve finishes on time. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

QUIET, YOU! We do not mention the 'L' word this close to the rescheduled gig! L = Lemmy L = Leg You and me both with fingers crossed. Supposedly his problem the other day was being able to breathe in thin air at a high altitude. Though, frankly, I worry how long he'll breathe in any case. 70 is a medical miracle when you consider his lifestyle. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
