Well if your a Motorhead fan, then you could appreciate him more. Just like
I do Nik. I did enjoy Motorhead when they weren't the headliners. It wasn't
as loud and I could hear what they were playing easily. Lemmy hasn't played
in HW for 30 years now and its bothersome when folks just say the Lemmy era
was the best. Theres alot of good stuff since then. At least in my opinion.

Which movie is this?

Thought the same at Hawkfest 02.

Now that Dave's playing more guitar, I'm looking forward to seeing them
again. I'm not much into sequencing either.
