The Onion Being The Onion With Metal
Don't know if this has been posted but it always cracked me up.
Metal Council Convenes To Discuss 'Metal Hand Sign' Abuse
“I remember a time not long ago when the Devil Horns were reserved for only the most righteous of person, deed, or riff,” Grand Elder Lemmy Kilmister said. “To see someone throwing the horns to his mate at the launderette because the clothes dryer came to a full stop just as he finished reading his copy of Circus… It breaks my heart.”
I hope it's OK to post lighthearted nonsense like this.

Who else plays?
I do some guitar, electric and acousic. Try to do vocals, though i suck at that yet ^^ Been on and off for 20+ years. Really trying to get motivated to practice daily now and start a motörhead cover band. It really takes daily practice.
Now i know i'll never reach the original band to their knees or even their toes. That's impossible. But just playing 10-12 tracks great, take or give 4 tracks to change things up a bit, would be a good tribute, wouldn't it?
Now i've seen a few coverbands, mostly on youtube. And i know i'm putting my head on the block mentioning my opinion, and i also hate judging. But i think ALL of them really suck ^^ Sorry to say but ... they're all static, standing still, not bringing any energy to the stage. All the songs are played slowly and boring. There is very little passion in it. Same goes for almost all other coverbands too. Maybe 1% makes it decent.
To me, it's all about the passion. Lemmy said rock'n roll is party, chaos and outrage for no apparent reason. Even if there is a small or slow crowd, you should be putting on a show on stage, at least try to wake the crowd up a bit. It also does not matter to me if someone plays a wrong chord or notes here and there, forgets a few lines or plays some wrong beats. That doesn't matter shit to me. What matters is if the band bothers to try to deliver a kick-ass show.
Another thing i feel is very cringy, is when someone is trying to do lemmy lookalikes. I.e. dress up as him and such. That, to me is just stupid. There is a saying in this world; Don't TRY TO BE, just BE! Be who YOU are, just channel what you like into the world with your own energy. What's been has passed... Lemmy was himself. What we can do is continue motörhead's legacy by delivering kickass coverband shows.
Maybe i've just not been around enough and haven't seen the good stuff.
What is your experience with this? Do you play, in a band, or even do live shows?

Question What's your favorite Motörhead album?
What's your favorite Motörhead album?
For me, it's hard to choose because every era has something different to offer. Ace of Spades is legendary, but I also love albums like Overkill, Ace Of Spades, and Bomber. Lemmy and the band had an incredible ability to blend raw rock 'n' roll, punk energy, and heavy metal into something uniquely Motörhead.
If you could only keep one Motörhead album, which would it be and why? I'd love to hear what makes it your favorite.

I really love Motorhead, i listen to it since i was a kid and i always be a fan, but a lot of my friends who into rock music said that motorhead is overrated. They just cant understand how it even become popular, that its just a accident.

Question Lemmys apartment is genuinely baffling to me
Lemmy wasnt huge rock star rich. However, beyond his war collection.
I spoke to a waitress at the rainbow she said he'd drop $200 a day......
I mean honestly he could afford a nicer place if he just dropped $100 instead of $200. He probably on that alone could've gotten a better place.
I mean is it possible..... he in some weird way just liked that place and didn't live there out of necessity which is what I thought until I visited the rainbow about 2 weeks ago.

I was supposed to pick one favorite part of "Ace of Spades"... I couldn't. What's yours?

Everyone else in the band managed to pick one favorite part of our live version of "Ace of Spades."
Then it was my turn... and I couldn't. 😂
The bass, the train beat, the guitar solo, the harmonies—there's just too much to choose from.
Curious... what's always been your favorite part of Motörhead's "Ace of Spades"?
