hi all

little doubts about the song "Loser"…

I 'm a loser, i'm a loser, that's what they said, that's what they said : who is Lemmy talking about?

Now i got their women in my bed: could it be about the Hawkwind people? on the lemmy documentary he states that he had slept with 3 girlfriends of hawkwind members (or something like that

son of bitches can't steal my sound: who are the son of bitches and what sound is that?

and specially, why hasn't this music never been played alive (or if it has, why isn't it regular)?

thanks a lot!

Could well be about the Hawk days,but could equaly apply to the industry as a whole.

I would imagine during the Iron Fist tour it did get an outting or two,didn't see them on that tour..
Maybe someone else can recall if it was played live.

Great song!

Case opened... (Damage Case?!)

Well, Würzel used to call me "The King of bootlegs" and so I dug up an old cassette from my attic, this one from Glasgow Apollo march 18th, 1982. Thought perhaps someone was interested in the setlist, and LOSER was played!

IRON FIST
HEART OF STONE
SHOOT YOU IN THE BACK
THE HAMMER
LOSER
JAILBAIT
AMERICA
WHITE LINE FEVER
DON´T NEED RELIGION
GO TO HELL
CAPRICORN
GRIND YA DOWN
WE ARE THE ROAD CREW
ACE OF SPADES
BITE THE BULLET
THE CHASE IS BETTER THAN THE CATCH
OVERKILL
BOMBER
MOTORHEAD

Some setlist, eh?!
