SO, you are not only against me, you are against Lemmy too. I don't think anyone is against you nor Lemmy. At least not in this forum. Don't take it so personal.

I know, I can't order someone or anyone how is gonna listen Motorhead or whatever... Just maybe some times I'm little angry if some real fan can ignore some real fact. Or facts. Or ignore what Lemmy think and talks about his own band. And He made this band and this music and I can't understand why is he so ignored from some so called fans. Sorry but I just can't understand that. I just can't...

I've been a Motorhead fan since the Ace of Spades as it was the only Motorhead album that was released in North America at the time. I had to get Imports of Bomber and Overkill because the (mostly American) record companies weren't interested in releasing them until the Ace of Spades became a bestseller. It still took a couple of years after that to release the earlier albums. So, I've been a fan for a pretty long time - yikes! it's about 32 years now!
I did not know about the connection to the earlier bands until a couple of years ago. Interestingly enough, I had heard of Hawkwind but I didn't know Lemmy was in the band. I had a friend who liked Hawkwind (and likely recorded some of their concerts as he used to record almost all the concerts he went to since 1971. I no longer speak to him but he had boxes and boxes full of bootlegs he recorded. There were so many that trying to find something specific was almost impossible). I don't think that he knew that Lemmy was even in the band.
As for his earlier groups, I'm planning on checking them out, but these days I'm enjoying slowly getting re-aquainted with the Motorhead catalog, so I likely won't be checking them out soon (because I have all the Motorhead albums and I want to slowly go through them to appreciate each one individually.
It's great to know the history of bands and how everything evolved. Motorhead has a huge fan base of people who weren't even born when most of their albums came out.
When I saw them last year in Toronto it was a sold out show. Most of the audience members looked like they were in their 20's. Although they like Motorhead they don't know anything about their history.

dude, this is music! Fun!
You're making some religious thing out of it. Like those fundamentalistic idiots! "Who does not share my opinion is an infidel". Gaaaawd!
Relax! People have different opinions, there is no "right" or "wrong"!
I'm a Motörhead fan since 1979 (how long are you?), the bands music has been with me through all my life, I play bass and guitar because of Motörhead. I love this music more than any other music.
But hey, I don't give a shit if "Lemmy is on my side" or not. He's only a musician (although a good one) and certainly not some impeccable deity or whatever...

Every Motorhead fan's collection, however small, should have Another Perfect Day in it. If you can get your hands on it, buy the 2-disc deluxe version. Other than that, I'd say Inferno, Ace of Spades, or Bomber.

Right, that's right. That's why I'm always talking how pre-Motorhead bands are important for Motorhead it self. Lemmy did not fell from sky and now we got Motorhead, He grew up like artist and musician threw this bands and there is some connection which I mentioned before with those bands. Who knows, if Lemmy wasn't been in all those bands who knows if we could have Motorhead today OR if yes, Will this Motorhead had a sound like it have today? For shore On parole, and Motorhead album would never sound like this maybe... Everything of those bands is important.

But for me Motorhead is far far far more than just fun. It's art, it's way of thinkin, it's way of life etc etc... Maybe I'm sound stupid to someone but that's how I feel. I now some people and they are fanatics about some other stuff, they sounded stupid to me too but I later a found out that those stuff are not just fun for them, it's life. I don't know if I explained good... Lemmy have like in Orgasmatron song some if you want political view on world, people etc... I have that opinion too, it's the same. It's not only fun, it's art, same view on things etc.... Far more than ONLY fun to me. Real art.

sure, and nothing is wrong in seeing a musician as an idol or archetype. And adoring a bands music isn't wrong, either.
BUT it is still music. It's supposed to be fun. It might comfort you in difficult times. And I personally consider music to be some kind of "aural photo book", it bears so many memories linked to that music. Memories of good times, bad times, friends (some long gone) and stuff like that.
You just have to be careful in calling others "not real fans", just because they have a different approach to that subject. And certainly a Metal dude can be a "real" Motörhead fan. It's in no way mutually exclusive! I am a perfect example for that...
It's just that turning into a fanatic (NO MATTER on which subject!) is always wrong! It blinds out other stuff, gives you blinkers, makes you deaf, dumb and blind. Nobody wants to be like that...
