HW: Motorhead/Warrior CD Question

[eddie jobson]

The obvious differences I know of is the Griffin CD version I have obviously
has Lemmy singing and the Anthology has Dave (doing it better in my
opinion). I believe they are same but it mentioned in Ian's book that Dave
did the original vocals in the studio and that was released on Flicknife
later but Lemmy's one went out still after he recorded it at the Hyatt Hotel
with Allan Powell? The difference I noticed is not only the rolling bit in
the Dave one, but the Anthology seems to have cleaned it up for disc as you
don't get the bit of guitar feedback you get on the vinyl 7 and 12"
versions.

OFF: BTW the band were commenting at the stage of the book I am at that it
is difficult to get a full sound as a 3 piece. Rush seem to have mastered
this as they did a very good 3 hour set at Wembley last night. They even
sneaked in a Who number, Eddie Cochran and a few chords of Day Tripper. In
my opinion the tightest live performance I have seen since seeing Pink Floyd
a few years ago.

Eddie.
