Never seen Motörhead in the late 70's.
My first Motörhead concert was in 1987 (Orgasmatron tour with Onslaught as support act) in Den Bosch.

When I met my wife I was wearing a Motörhead shirt and now 30 years later I'm still wearing (only) Motörhead shirts
My kids grew up with Motörhead and metal music but they have their own music now, and thats fine with me, no problem with that.

No (physical) problems so far, even my hearing is still OK (it's been checked a few months ago)
So I think I can survive another 25 years of Motörhead and loud music

Cheers and Rock n Roll .....

Thanx Hammer,

Its almost the only thing, together with my LP's, that survived the 80's.
Had lots of band (tour) shirts but not anymore.

Oh .... and somewhere I must have a bag full of audio cassettes (about 300).
On saturdays I went with some friends to "the big city" and each of us bought an album and then we taped it for each other.

Sometimes we took our cassette recorder to a gig and taped the whole concert.
Somewhere on the internet is now a tape (mp3) for downloading from the Holy Terror gig, which we recorded back in 1987 in Groningen, hahaha.
Even some pictures I took of them are on that site .... awesome !!!

Thanks for the reply.
I first saw Motorhead in Bradford (UK) in 1978, then 1978 on the Bomber tour. I could not believe what this new fantastic sound was.
I followed them everywhere after that.
My (new) wife hated heavy metal, and always loved disco and motown stuff... but then I got her to a Motorhead gig finally in 2008, and she LOVED it.
She has been to about 10 since. I hear her sometimes singing 'We are Motorhead', her favourite track.

I took my daughter to a Motorhead gig, she was 14 an liked White Stripes and other stuff, and she would tolerate Motorhead for my sake.
I was a little worried for her safety at 14, but when I lost sight of her and panicked, I then saw her in the middle of the mosh-pit going berserk. She saw no danger, and really loved the gig, (more than the band I think)

I had to go to see White Stripes as a trade-off, and I thought they were terrible, but tried not to complain TOO much.

Haha .... Cool Fester.
I think my wife has seen Motörhead now 5 or 6 times and she also like it, but not as much as I do, haha.
In june she going (again) with me to see Motörhead at FortaRock 2013.

I'm 100% sure my daughter NEVER goes with me to Motörhead or a hard/heavy concert.
She's a fanatic streetdancer and she's doing well, so now and then I have to go with her to see her dancing (contest).
Then I hear for almost 4 or 5 hours only Hip Hop, Streetdance or other dance music .... duh, hahaha, but I'm proud of her (of course )

Maybe, maybe someday my son (16) goes with me to a concert cause sometimes I hear Motörhead or Metallica music coming out of his bedroom.
Then I open his door and gives him two thumbs up, hahaha .... so who knows ???

My daughter loves the World is Yours (esp get back in line)but fave song is Bomber, as is mine. She's nearly 6. I get the joys of seeing the likes of the Saturdays and Jessie J with her too, but frankly a love of music is to be encouraged, she gets the buzz from a cheering crowd the way I used to. My wife keeps saying she'll come to see Motorhead but nver has yet, hoping to drag her (kicking n screaming probably LOL) to Download in June, be nice if there was a UK warm-up for that, wouldn't it?

@ timtearle,

Good choice of music already for a 6 year old
Take very good care of her when you take her to Download, before you know she's also in a mosh-pit, like Festers daughter

Cheers and Rock n Roll .....

Yeah, keep an eye on her!
At least my daughter was 14 at the time.
I think girls are meaner than boys when it comes to moshing!

Your not wrong about girls being mean in the pit, saw Thin Lizzy in wolves and it all kicked off behind me durin "boys areback in town" and there's this little blonde swinging punches and people flyin everywhere, proper funny!
Have to say I feel safer at rock festivals than the mainstream ones like V and Reading, seems to be less idiots and less thieving at "our" ones.
