My rock band plays hard rock. We are from Ukraine and we want to open Motorhead concert 07/28/2013. How we can do it? Who decides which band may do it?
Take a look at our live video




if you can not help us, please give some information about who can help.

Email the promoter of the show i would suggest, whoever that is for that show. Not sure how much influence MH's management company have on appointing local support acts, so think promoter is your best bet

There is an address for Lemmy on here somewhere, I asked for it try sending him some footage/ demo stuff, offer to play free if unsigned good way of getting noticed!

OFF TOPIC P2 Lemmy's Address threadhas the address of a diner in LA supplied by one of the longer term residents!
Very Best Wishes and Good Luck

When Motorhead headlines, they often have 2 bands opening up for them. Usually the band that plays before Motorhead is fairly well known.
The lineup for at least part of the 1982 tour was a group called Fist opening the show. Afterward Krokus came on (they were getting somewhat popular at the time) and then Motorhead came out afterward.

In 2011 when they headlined they had Valient Thorr, and Clutch opening many of the shows.

Performance has been announced like Motorhead first solo concert in Ukraine. so it must be without fairly well known foreign bands.

Thanks guys. We appreciate your help!!!

Contacy Lemmy, go for it, hes been there, looking for a break!

Done. I hope he will receive my letter

Very best wishes for that one. I sent him a porody of Ace of Spades as for years in interviews he has said he was bored of doing it, he may well do the parody for the crack to see if anyone notices! Really hope you get the gig!

up

I take it you got the gig!

Eh?

Lecher said "up" so I think he got the gig! I hope so!

Yeah, I know... but I thought he could have said a little more than 'up'??

Guestlist all round, then, courtesy of Lecher's band....!!

Unless he was asking if I had put the parody I sent to Lemmy up!

Hi everyone. I was glad that everything looks good and we would have a gig, but no.
In our country you can't be sure in anything. This is Ukraine, country where everything is managed by bribes.
Besides I notice the tendency for famous bands to choose some bands which don't play even any kind of metal to be their support:
Few years ago Metallica chose Him to support them in Moscow
Last year Scorpion chose the cover band to support them in Ukraine during Sting in the tail tour.
Last Marilyn Manson concert in Ukraine has been opened by band which doesn't play even rock music.
It's looks like famous band choose that kind of band to look more powerful. Maybe they are afraid that some band can look more brilliantly than they are.
So I suppose that with Motorhead will be the same result, some weak Ukrainian band which doesn't play even hard rock will open their concert.

Lecher, Motorhead have a history of helping new bands.
All the way back to 1979 this has been the case.
Don't blame the mighty MOTORHEAD for the corruption and problems in your shitty country.
If you were good, you would get noticed.

I don't blame Motorhead at all. it is all about how things are managed in my country.

Sorry to hear that Lecher, although it is getting worse in all countries.
Politicians here in the UK, lie and cheat us more and more every single day.
