For KISS the reunion tour was the most successful tour of their career. The original members Ace and Peter stayed with the band for four years.

Was it disrespectful to Blaze Bayley when Bruce Dickinson rejoined Iron Maiden, or to Ripper Owens when Rob Halford rejoined Judas Priest? No.

And if you read what I said, I was was talking about a tour and maybe an album with the "Fab 3" that Phil C. and Mikkey Dee can produce. Not that they should be kicked out from the band.


I don't understand why you want us Eddie and Philthy fans to shut up? I happen to like them and their style of playing, and for me a reunion tour/album would be a dream come true.

Phil Campbell is an excellent guitarist, but more metal than Eddie, who is more bluesey. Mikkey Dee is technically superiour to Philthy, but Philthy has a very personal style and follows the melody in his playing. And together with Lemmy they produce a sound that I love.

The old and the "new" Motorhead sound like totally different bands.

I don't want to take anything away from you. Phil and Mikkey would still be members. For me it's a dream to see and hear the "Fab 3" making noise together again, of only for a couple of months. It's my opinion and I hope you can respect it.


One more thing. I can't see Motorhead have something in common with this metal bands.

I can respect your wish's Patte but you mentioned Iron Maiden and Judas priest in your last post, slightly different situations to the motorhead thing y'know, and hey why stop at a Philthy Eddie reunion after that one why not get Robbo involved again !! Every body knows the change in sound different members bring to band dynamics but for me that's what keeps things fresh, it keeps things evolving, and even Lemmy has said he's not about to put the current line-up on hold for a nostalgia trip. And by the way I did read what you said and if you think that Phil and Mikkey would step back and sit it out while a different line up (that was around for a lot less time than the current one) was touring and maybe then do an album "Phil and Mikkey could produce"!! Your a bigger dreamer than I know you already are.

I agree with this. Change in line ups where great for Motorhead. Every line up continued where old one stoped. And new line up new sound and it is still Motorhead, that's great. In some bands change of line up doesn't work but for Motorhead I think it couldn't be better. Motorhead is much more better today because of this line up changes. Can you imagine Lemmy/Larry/Lucas playing still today? Or Kilmister/Clarke/Taylor? It would be much more boring Motorhead and with less progress.

I think it would be nice to see Eddie and Philthy in the new Lemmy solo album.
Not the three together as old Motorhead but maybe a guitar solo in a song and the drums in another. Something like that.

Motorhead's fine as it is, and I actually feel somewhat sorry for Phil and Mikkey having to hear about people asking for this kind of stuff as it's not fair to them considering they've served more than enough time to be seen as main fixtures in the band.


Agree. I think the current line up is the best. Some seem to forget they've been playing together for 20 years (Phil's been with Lem for almost 30).

If Lem sez a "classic" reunion won't happen, it won't happen.

Other than a song or two at a special event, it's not likely to happen. For one thing Fast Eddie and Philthy Animal are also quite old. Doing a tour can be extremely stressful. Lemmy can do it but there aren't too many musicians near that age that can do it.

I'm lucky to have seen the current lineup and the classic lineup. I had more fun seeing the current lineup (the time I saw the original band was kind of like a nightmare - too many negative things happening at that show.) I did not enjoy the show with the classic lineup at the time but I'm really happy to have seen it in hindsight though.

It's about as likely to happen as Lemmy rejoining Hawkwind.

Despite I love the current Motorhead line up I must confess I would love to see the old one reunited again even because I never saw them live... It would be a dream come true... but now it is just a dream...
cheers

Eddie's tinkering with Fastway currently, and Philthy's either not feeling so well right now or he's busy. In fact, Philthy's last band just put out their album with him playing drums for free via their Myspace page, so he's obviously into other things.

i think av mentioned this before but in my opinion, this band is light years ahead of ''fab 3 (??!!** wtf?) i was lucky enough to see that line up 30+ times and i enjoyed every minute of it, however, it sometimes descended into a complete wall of noise & couldnt hear anything except lems bass. Dont get me wrong i understand completely why people would want to see this happen, but this line up is far far superior live than eddie & phil, i think the god like status of the 3 piece has grown & grown over the last 30 years well out of proportion
i dont want to sound like am putting that era down as it changed my life from the age of 12 but the band now is exceptional & i think we should appreciate that rather than dwell on the past ( just my opinion smile )
