The concert in Frauenfeld was in a wooden barn (okay, that's exaggerated, but not much). The whole building was shaking Besides that, it was extremely hot and humid inside. Water was running from the walls! I've been inside for Rose Tattoo (maybe 20 minutes, then I had to leave, clothes soaking wet! Luckily it was a very warm and sunny day and evening) and for Motörhead, of course. They were playing for 55 Minutes, not even Overkill as last song. Lemmy seemed to be pretty pissed, some idiot threw a beer cup at him right at the beginning, they left stage for a few minutes. After they returned, Lemmy said "once more and the show is over". Of course the usual drunken idiots didn't stop, might have been the reason why they only played one song as encore.

Never.

menzman veteran Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 1261 Loc: Germany	Originally Posted By: Charly Will post some pics in the "Berlin show" thread. The other reason was Rose Tattoo, Danko Jones and Motörhead! nice pix... how did you like "danko jones"? i have never seen 'em before and, as i like the "sleep is the enemy"-album, was a bit disappointed to be honest. but as i'm more into indoor-shows anyway, i'll give it another try in december... Originally Posted By: Iron Fist @menzman Oh, it was loud - But I don't care about volume, I always wear earplugs. Once your hearing is gone, it's gone. The concert in Frauenfeld was in a wooden barn... acctually, the barn-like looking venue got me curious in the first place (have seen some images when the show was announced this spring)... but right, 55 minutes is pretty short, especially as it was a headliner-show. makes me wonder as usually they are dealing with beer-throwers a bit more relaxed... with the volume you are right, doesn't really matter. i was just surprised how clear they can sound when they have to turn it down a bit (like in zürich), it was still loud though. on various other occassions, it was just loud and the sound sucked... not that i really need chrystal-clear sound at concerts, but it was nice for a change...

Saw him in Luxembourg (Den Atelier) in april, and he kicks major ass! I personally haven't heard his guitar in Berlin (ok, just a little bit). _________________________ MHB 2419

jonede newbie Registered: 07/21/08 Posts: 45 Loc: Chicago, IL	I clearly remember my first Motorhead show. December 15th, 1985 at the Cabaret Metro in Chicago. I was three feet from the house amps and it was all white noise to me. I had to read Lemmy's lips to tell what song was being played. My ears were ringing for a solid seven days! Plaster dust was coming off the ceiling. Jumpin' Jesus on a pogo stick the boys were loud that evening. Man, I love this band! _________________________ "Nobody knows the trouble I've seen; but it can be arranged."

C__ stranger Registered: 07/08/08 Posts: 6	I've never seen them live, but I've talked with Lemmy 4-5 times. I use to work at club owned by Slim Jim Phantom, so Lemmy came by few times. In fact thats how I became a fan of Motorhead. Lemmy was so cool compared to the usual celebrity, I went and checked out his shit. Been a fan ever since!!
