Lemmy has said that he's loyal to his band members and don't want the put the current band on hold for a reunion tour.

Fine. But he can be loyal to both the band and their fans. And many fans wants to see and hear Lemmy, Philthy and Fast Eddie playing together again. Many fans weren't even born when the ”Fab 3” lineup of the group existed, but love the old albums. Why not give them and us a chance to see them?

None of the ”Fab 3” members are getting any younger. This might be the last chance.

And Lemmy can still be loyal to Phil C. And Mikkey. A tour, a live album and maybe a studio album with Philthy and Eddie, and Phil C. Mikkey can produce these albums! They know how a Motorhead album should sound.

Another option is to hire Fast Eddie as a second guitarist.

It would be the same as inviting some ex-girlfriend for a dinner with you and wife. Wouldn't work.

Silly idea, don't live in the past, that's not what Motörhead do. Its not going to happen. Sure they might join them on stage for a song or two, but that's it. I wish people would stop trying to make this happen

Would be great if they join for a couple of songs, but that's it, nothing more.

And what's that of "being loyal to the fans" thing? Lemmy's always been loyal to his fans, maybe the only one in the music business who has always been loyal to the fans.

As guest appearances together with just Lemmy on a song or two then that's a great idea and something to enjoy, but it shouldn't be something that becomes an actual tour (Mini or longer). There doesn't need to be any albums or videos or anything else, unless they decide to have a one-off guest performance at a DVD filming of a standard show or something as an extra.

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.

A reunion is just not going to happen I wish people would stop harping on about it, I think its disrespectful to the current line-up.

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.

I understand that you, and a lot of other people, miss Philthy and Eddie, and to be honest I would love to seen that line-up as well. But in my opinion this line-up does the job more than good enough for me!

I would love to see those 3 gig, as it's the only line up (except the really early stuff with Lucas and Larry) that I never saw live, and cause they made some amazing music. That said, the music was incredible but it was performed 30 years ago and Motorhead has moved on. As for Maiden and Priest, both singers had established themselves as the voice of their respective bands, and Blaze and Ripper had only been at the helm for a few short years and a couple of albums, whereas Mikkey and Phil especially have been with Motorhead for a considerably longer time. I agree that it would be cool to get the 3 of them to do a couple of songs together one night, but a tour? Maybe if Phil and Mikkey left, with Robbo making it a foursome.

Today's line up is the best, in anyway. It would be very rude to Phil and Mikkey that Lemmy goes with old line up. I would like to see line up with Larry Wallis but that would be rude to this line up too. And I think, who knows, but I think that Phil Taylor is not that good anymore. Eddie, maybe. There are only two choices, this line up should stop forever and than MAYBE you will have old line up again, or Eddie could join this line up. But I have a feeling that everyone is against change for this line up today. And that's good because this line up what they did for Motorhead and how long they are in Motorhead deserve biggest respect but people don't see that for now, someday when Motorhead will be over they will.
