okay, and now after you've seen THIS show, you've seen them ALL
It's the same every time, including Lemmys "jokes", the "louder" thing, the "cheers" thing. At least they've stopped the "loudest crowd" thing. And no song from APD, so you've also got away from Lems "this song was written before you wre born"-joke. Yaaaaawn

But hey, glad you liked it! A Motörhead show is a great thing, no doubt about that!

Yeah, I know what ya mean. Same canned lines and what not. I guess I was just caught up in the moment even though I could have predicted everything he would say haha. Good time it was though.

You made me remember when I first saw them.
It was pretty much the same sensations as you described. I couldn't hold my tears for the whole first song.

Great review!

Glad you liked it. I am a Motorhead fan for life....Now, while MH.shows in 2012may not be like they were in the 80s and 90s, I simply REFUSE to give another dollar to George Thorogood....a guy who I used to be a damn near superfan of.
Get this: Thorogood plays 13(!!) songs total for his headlinimg shows. And he drags each song out as long as he can to not go a minute over 90 minutes...GOD FORBID.
its become so obvious that all he cares about is cashing his royalty checks....and his website is a joke. He also wont give his fans the time of day if he sees them in public.
I am proud to be a Motorhead fan.

Cool Ryan... congrats for your first show. I will always remember mine in 1989 ... first gig in South America...
but I must say... I m a little bit disappointed... 11 songs? I think this will be the standard for now on...
cheers

sounds awesome man.......11 songs is the festival set for the headline set we should get 17 or 18 i think.......

When I first saw them in '82 I was stunned by how loud it was, I was leaning on the railing in front of the stage. Because I was so close my ears were distorting and I couldn't tell what songs they were playing most of the time. All I could hear clearly were the drums and the talking between songs. Although the show was somewhat a disaster because Lemmy had arm problems, it ended up being one of the most memorable shows I went to. Fortunately they don't play that loud any more and you can enjoy the music. The turn up the volume thing originates from the early days of the band. In 1982 Lemmy said something like "turn the sound up. I want to hurt these people."

Last time that I saw them was last year and I think they played 21 songs, headlining. For the festival shows people expect to hear the classics so there may be 1 surprise song here and there but because they have a shorter amount of time to play, there are still many classics that there is not enough time for.

Now for the Motorhead hearing test, you should let us know how long your ears were/are ringing

I caught a glimpse of the new Motorhead backdrop in the boobies video. It looks like a new design.

I hate festval shows, but opportunities to see the band at this point are limited... I Would rather hear 2 more songs in a 50 minute set rather than a drum solo (albeit a great solo)... but Motörhead can do what they want.

The show itself was alright, but with 20 albums being condensed to 11 songs, it was hard to get too excited. This time, like the first time I saw them as an opening band 31 years ago, I left hoping I will get the chance to see them as a headliner...

Motorhead headline shows are the greatest memory's i have i cant wait for november.....wishing the year away!
