Nah, some clever boy at the record company had the pic air-brushed!

Only had the pleasure of seeing Lemmy once, but it was memorable.  It
was right after the release of 1916, and they were playing the
estimatble [albeit tastelessly named] 'Operation Rock 'n' Roll' tour
which featured Judas Priest as headliners, supporting their
'Painkiller' album. Obviously, someone thought it okay to borrow
imagery from the horrible operation desert storm and inexplicably
incorporate [!] it into a rock tour.  JP even included a very
militant song on Painkiller--'One Shot at Glory,' an excellent if
jingoistic tune...

Anyway, Lemmy introduced a song from the album, and remarked "you'll
be sure to hear this one on MTV...' and then offered a familiar uni-
digital salute for punctuation.  The crowd went bullshit, and
Motorhead was amazing the whole time onstage.  Any Motorhead experts
out there able to tell me the band's lineup for that tour?
