Off: Lemmy

        Metallica's "Overkill" version (cover of the Motorhead song,
of course, thus the Lemmy credit) is a two-track recording during
rehersals for the 50th birthday party (thus is doesn't appear on the
album ;)

        Lemmy did come out and sing at the party--I think on "We Are the
Roadcrew" with Metallica, though I'd have to check my recording :)

        Frankly, Motorhead's set blew the Metallica covers set away.
Big surprise.  Which is not to say I'm jumping on the narrow-minded-
metal-fan bandwaggon and saying that Metallica suck, but just that
I would hate to be on the same bill as Motorhead :)  They are one
heck of a rock'n'roll band :)

Cheers,
Carl
