These days, I love them EVEN MORE... I must be an embarrassment to my wife and daughter at the gigs, but they know how important Motorhead are to me.

The best thing about the 80's? my knees didn't hurt so much back then!


Never seen Motörhead in the late 70's.
My first Motörhead concert was in 1987 (Orgasmatron tour with Onslaught as support act) in Den Bosch.

When I met my wife I was wearing a Motörhead shirt and now 30 years later I'm still wearing (only) Motörhead shirts wink
My kids grew up with Motörhead and metal music but they have their own music now, and thats fine with me, no problem with that.

No (physical) problems so far, even my hearing is still OK (it's been checked a few months ago) laugh
So I think I can survive another 25 years of Motörhead and loud music laugh

Cheers and Rock n Roll .....


Thanks for the reply.
I first saw Motorhead in Bradford (UK) in 1978, then 1978 on the Bomber tour. I could not believe what this new fantastic sound was.
I followed them everywhere after that.
My (new) wife hated heavy metal, and always loved disco and motown stuff... but then I got her to a Motorhead gig finally in 2008, and she LOVED it.
She has been to about 10 since. I hear her sometimes singing 'We are Motorhead', her favourite track.

I took my daughter to a Motorhead gig, she was 14 an liked White Stripes and other stuff, and she would tolerate Motorhead for my sake.
I was a little worried for her safety at 14, but when I lost sight of her and panicked, I then saw her in the middle of the mosh-pit going berserk. She saw no danger, and really loved the gig, (more than the band I think)

I had to go to see White Stripes as a trade-off, and I thought they were terrible, but tried not to complain TOO much.
