Just thought of what`s my fave show opener, have to go with "Iron Fist" or "Bomber" as on the 2011 tour that was hammer!
What do you boys and girl think?

Cheers

another difficult one ,but I think Iron Fist or Doctor Rock.
Was surprised that Bomber opened the other year,but it worked well so what do I know!!!!haha

I've changed my mind already!!!!!!!!!!!!
We are Motorhead is now getting my vote (for now)

'I know how to die' and 'Sacrifice' weren't played till the time of doing this poll.

'We are Motorhead' - Greatest Gig Opener, by far!

'We are Motorhead' - Greatest Gig Opener, by far!

iron fist for me, sorry for a predictable choice!

Yeah "We are Motörhead" is a really kick ass opener totally agree!

Back At The Funny Farm was an electrifying opener back in 83. If they did a whole album gig, it would have to be Overkill.

good call desert rat, would love to see that song reprised although would seem unlikely

What makes it a perfect opener besides music itself, is the lyrics.
It's like a declaration of principles, a perfect summary of what this band is about.

who would have thought rock it would make a comeback tho'?
anything is possible eh??!!

sacrifice from this years wolves gig was a good starting point i thought

I think I picked this last year when this question was raised. First Motorhead song I ever saw live and I'd love to see it again, opener or otherwise. Apart from that, Overkill so we can go out on something different for a change.

Whole album gig would be weird but i agree on overkill...

Yeah it may seem weird but Iggy Pop did it, New York Dolls and a whole bunch of classic bands at Meltdown Festival in London a few times. Not saying they should but what a great experience it would be to see the Overkill album would be played back to back. I have a feeling Lemmy would probably not be into it as he consistently and understandably comments on not wanting to do the nostalgia trip in favour of new material and stuff by the current lineup but wouldn't a filmed one-off be great? The Ace Of Spades doc a few years back was unexpected and quite a revelation so why not Overkill, an album that gets its fair share of topping polls as the fans' favourite on here? It would be a buzz to see what The Motörhead of today would do with the likes of Limb From Limb and I Won't Pay Your Price, tracks which could do with an overdue airing. Remember how the current line-up re-recorded some of the classics not so long ago? There again, we might get Motörhead The Musical one day given the flurry of merchandise that is coming out at the moment. But that's another story...

Doctor Rock

Got to be 'we are Motorhead' !!!!

When the band play a surprise title, it's the best in my opinion ! But it's ever during the middle or the end of the gig...

Doctor Rock or We are Motörhead

Definitely Snaggletooth.

Have seen Motorhead open with it twice.

Not only is it one of my all time favourite tracks, it kicks the gig off at mentalist breakneck speed!

Love it!
