In 16 hours, I will finally see Motorhead live. Words can't describe it. I am sure you all know what I mean. They are playing at Darien Lake(Buffalo, NY), it's not a Mayhem Show for some reason. I hope because it's not a Mayhem Show that they get a longer set time. However, I will be happy no matter what.

I plan on rolling down the windows and cranking the radio up to full blast as I drive to the show, playing all my favorite Motorhead tunes. I plan on forgetting the world exists today.

I hope they are not the opening act. I feel that would be highly disrespectful.

Enjoy it, man!
I really hope the audience in the US is a little bit more civilized than it usually is in Europe. Motörhead "fans" here are amongst the worst I see in concerts frown

I hope you do get the full Motorhead show tonight. There's nothing like seeing them for the first time. I finally got to see them last March. Blew me away! Give us a review when you get a chance afterwards.

Thanks everyone for the support and the pump up! Going to be a good time indeed!!!!

Well, I am assuming that most of the crowd will be there to see slipknot, as that is what is being promoted heavily on the stations. Not even mention of Motorhead. Kind of pisses me off.

The date was original booked as Mayhem Fest. A week after I bought my tickets, Mayhem Dropped the dated for some reason. Now its being promoted by the local Rock radio station as Slipknot, Slayer, Anthrax, and our boy's Motorhead. So I hope that means they get to add a few extra songs to the set.

@ Bigcrazewolf, my plans were deff to go to the Aug 4th show but ran into some money issues lol. Had an unexpected car repair pop up! I had to sell my tickets, which was a pain the ass too be honest. Live Nation is a cunt to deal with. Sucksssssssssssssssss. I am in Buffalo, ny. Yeah, if Motorhead ever comes back to the northeast, we should deff hit up a show!

Wow. Wow. Wow.

I was completely blown away by Motorhead.

Anthrax opened the show to what appeared to be a seating area 40% filled. What a bummer for those guys. I will say, they came out hard and HAD A TON of energy. I respect that, I am sure it's hard to get "up" for a show when you're first on and playing to empty seats and people in line for beer. They made my girlfriend a fan just from how they attacked the gig.

Anthrax finishes up. Road crew comes on stage and pulls off the massive anthrax logo curtain. Now appearing is the MOTORHEAD logo. I swear, just seeing that logo live gave me chills.

The venue is about 75% full now. It's quite, I could feel the energy in the air, I could smell it. Goose bumps just knowing what is to come. The crew finishes setting up, now before me in all its glory is M-D's Drum kit, phils massive stack, and lemmy's iconic marshall amps.

You here phil shred a quick chord backstage. You then here Lemmy's bass make a fucking growl. I went nuts. Next, you here the bomber air raid siren go off. I lost it! They let the siren play for at least a good 12 minutes before even coming on stage.
The band finally appears, taking there spots for the night, Lemmy struts up to the mic and screams BOMBEEEEEEEEEEER! It was fucking EPIC. I had a tear of joy, as silly as it sounds. I waited 18yrs to experience this.

They were the LOUDEST band there. Hands Down. The plastic bleachers were vibrating so hard, if you put your phone on it, it would shake off! Felt like they were kicking my in the chest. Loved it.

Set list:
1. Bomber
2. Damage Case
3. I know how to die
4. Stay clean
Phil and lemmy asked the crowed to get louder and if we wanted it louder. They turned up the juice and lemmy dedicated the next song to use and himself.
5. Over the top
6. The chase is better than the catch
After the song all 3 said lets all have a drink with our friends here. They lifted the glasses for a cheers and so did everyone who had a drink. Was awesome.
7. The one to sing the blues. The drum solo was killer. Really outstanding!
8. Going to Brazil. lemmy dedicated it to everyone on the crew who is from there and anyone in Buffalo who might be lol.
9. Killed by death
10. Ace of spades. Lemmy says up next is our fuckin theme song.
11. overkill. lemmy introduced the band to the crowd before the song and did his iconic don't forget us. We are Motorhead and we play rock N fuckin Roll. They played overkill 3 times straight. Lemmy also did his machine gun bass move as if he was shooting us.

After the song, they all come to front stage, Lemmy takes off the bass raises it and punches it, sets it down and turns up the amps. They take a bow to a standing applause.

The end. Best time ever. I hope to see them again soon.
