Motorhead thread
Posted by Express Rider on Sun Apr 5 23:09:00 2015 fiogf49gjkf0d I found the Motorhead thread yesterday. Cool! Always interested in hearing discussion about music I'm not familiar with. Not a metal fan, but I like Lemmy - seen him do interviews on music shows. He's a smart guy. Was he in Hawkwind at one point? There's so much music out there, it's hard to keep track of - and some stuff you read you just plain forget. Can you recommend a good (or representative) Hawkwind album? Also, how does Sam Gopal fit into this - I need to read up on stuff some more. If he was part of this scene I'm not familiar with it. I know he had a group called Sam Gopal Dream during the late 60s - saw albums of his in a catalog list I used to get. He did psych-jazz? Noma Winstone sang with him? Thanks for any info....

He sang lead vocals on their biggest single, "Silver Machine". Can you recommend a good (or representative) Hawkwind album? Any of the first five albums. Lemmy joined on the third album, "Doremi Fasol Latido" and left after the fifth, "Warrior On The Edge Of Time". The first two albums had a jazzier feel. Three songs that Lemmy contributed to Hawkwind were re-recorded on Motorhead's debut, i.e. "Motorhead", "Lost Johnny" and "The Watcher".

Or are you just mad about all the punk rockers that have embraced the 'Head? You probably don't like stuff like "Damned Damned Damned" then.

RIP Lemmy (was: Motorhead thread)
Posted by Olog-hai* on Mon Dec 28 20:13:42 2015, in response to Motorhead thread, posted by Express Rider on Sun Apr 5 23:09:00 2015.* fiogf49gjkf0d Only four days after his birthday too. Consequence Of Sound R.I.P. Lemmy Kilmister, Motörhead frontman dead at 70 Rock icon had been battling an extremely aggressive cancer By Alex Young on December 28, 2015 7:37pm Lemmy Kilmister, founding member and frontman of Motörhead. has died. He was 70 years old. News of his death was first reported by radio and TV host Eddie Trunk, who was a longtime friend of Lemmy. Several others have since confirmed the news, including Black Sabbath frontman Ozzy Osbourne, who wrote on Twitter, “Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side.” In a statement posted to Facebook, Motörhead wrote, “There is no easy way to say this… our mighty, noble friend Lemmy passed away today after a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. He had learnt of the disease on December 26th, and was at home, sitting in front of his favorite video game from the Rainbow which had recently made it’s way down the street, with his family. We cannot begin to express our shock and sadness, there aren’t words. We will say more in the coming days, but for now, please… play Motörhead loud.” In addition to cancer, Lemmy had been suffering from a number of other well-publicized health issues, including hematoma. In 2013, he was fitted with an implantable defibrillator to correct an irregular heartbeat. Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister was born Staffordshire, England in 1945. Inspired to become a musician after seeing The Beatles perform in concert, Lemmy spent his 20s playing in a variety of bands, and also served as a roadie in the Jimi Hendrix Experience. In 1972, he was hired to play bass in the UK space rock group Hawkwind, despite having no previous experience on the instrument. He quickly honed his skills, helping shape the band’s sound on critically acclaimed albums such Space Ritual, while also signing lead vocals on the song “Silver Machine”, which peaked at No. 3 on the UK charts. Lemmy was lead vocalist, bassist, principal songwriter and the founding, and the only constant member of Motörhead since the band’s formation in 1975. To date, Motörhead have released twenty studio albums and achieved 30 million in sales worldwide. Motörhead saw far more commercial success in the UK, though they achieved a cult status in the US. Their ferocious hard-rock style rejuvenated the metal genre in the late 1970s and inspired everyone from Metallica to Guns N’ Roses to Dave Grohl. Albums such as Ace of Spades, Orgasmatron, and Rock N’ Roll were critically lauded, though ironically the band’s only Grammy Award came via a cover of Metallica’s “Whiplash”, which they recorded for a tribute CD. Lemmy’s outlandish behavior further fueled his icon status. He was fired from Hawkwind after being arrested at the Canadian border for drug possession, yet his appetite for drugs and alcohol remained a constant throughout most of his career. He famously claimed he had drunken a bottle of Jack Daniel’s every day since turning 30, and he was also a proponent of amphetamines. Recently, he joked that he had switched from drinking whiskey to vodka for “health reasons.” “Apparently I am still indestructible,” he insisted in a 2014 interview with the Guardian, noting that the only thing that will keep him from playing music was death itself. “As long as I can walk the few yards from the back to the front of the stage without a stick,” he said, adding with a laugh, “Or even if I do have to use a stick.” Lemmy also dabbled in acting with cameos in films such as Airheads, Hardware, and even Foo Fighters’ video for “White Limo”. Consequence of Sound had the honors of speaking with Lemmy during the Motörhead Cruise this past September. In the audio interview, he reflected on his career, why he continued to perform despite his age and health issues, and why heavy metal is the greatest genre in music. In typical Lemmy fashion, he also took a swipe at fellow UK natives Radiohead.

Re: RIP Philthy Animal Taylor too (was: Motorhead thread)
Posted by Olog-hai* on Mon Dec 28 20:32:45 2015, in response to Re: RIP Lemmy (was: Motorhead thread), posted by chicagomotorman on Mon Dec 28 20:21:37 2015.* fiogf49gjkf0d Last month, no less. And almost nine years younger than Lemmy. Daily Telegraph Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor, drummer — obituary Drummer of Motörhead whose frenetic technique was key to the band’s headbanging sound 5:16PM GMT 13 Nov 2015 Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, who has died aged 61, was the former drummer of Motörhead, the unsavory-looking heavy metal band which established a reputation for playing, and living, louder, faster and harder than anyone else. The band was formed in 1975 by its lead singer and guitarist Lemmy (real name Ian Kilmister), after he had been kicked out of the LSD-addled psychedelic band Hawkwind owing to pharmaceutical differences (Lemmy preferred amphetamines). The original lineup featured guitarist Larry Wallis and drummer Lucas Fox, but within a year Lemmy had replaced them with “Fast” Eddie Clarke and Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor — “Philthy” for short. Philthy and Lemmy had hit it off immediately when the drummer gave Lemmy a lift to the recording studios where the original Motörhead line-up were rehearsing their first album. They stayed up all night, and in the morning Taylor staggered outside, stark naked, declaring to anyone who might be watching: “It’s all right, I’m on drugs!” “What a horrible little ----,” observed Larry Wallis. “He’s perfect.” Originally christened “Bastard”, they changed their name to Motörhead (after an anthem in praise of amphetamines that Lemmy had written for Hawkwind), having being persuaded that the original name would prevent them ever appearing on Top of the Pops. The name also served as an impetus for the band’s characteristic brand of amped–up “aggro-music”. Described as “the worst band in the world”, Motörhead recorded an album for United Artists, only for the label to deem it unreleasable (until they became successful, at which point it was rushed out as On Parole). They were set to split, and planned to record a live album at their farewell show, but Ted Carroll of the independent label Chiswick Records failed to turn up with the recording equipment. In compensation, Carroll offered them a couple of days’ recording time, during which Motörhead completed their eponymous debut album — issued in 1977. The album did well enough to persuade the band to stay together, but it would be their next LP, Overkill (1979), that marked their real breakthrough — its title track was later described by one rock journalist as “one of the most important tracks in metal history, and arguably rock history.” By 1981, when their ferocious live album, No Sleep ’til Hammersmith, went straight to the top of the album charts, Motörhead were established as the most popular group in Britain. Motörhead came to be cited in the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest band ever, and the group were so proud of their ear-splitting reputation and rock’n’roll excess (they were said to have inspired the movie Spinal Tap) that Lemmy once claimed: “If we moved in next door to you, your lawn would die.” Taylor provided the key element in the band’s head-banging, supercharged, distorted rhythmic sound, his frenetic double bass-drum barrage helping to define a new genre: “thrash” metal (although Taylor himself claimed that he only associated “thrash” with “what your dad did to you when he took his belt off”). His performance on the cymbals was described by one reviewer as “like a million ants with taps on their feet running across a metal picnic table”. Taylor’s nickname aptly summed up the band’s ethos and he himself was notorious for never having a wash while on tour. He was also one of the few Motörhead alumni able to match Lemmy’s heroic intake of intoxicating substances. In his autobiography, White Line Fever (2002), Lemmy recalled an occasion in 1980 when, after a gig in Belfast, Taylor had been drunkenly playing “Who can lift each other highest” with a large Irishman on a stone staircase. “The Irishman lifted Phil up the highest and at the same time took a step back to admire his work — into thin air,” leaving Taylor with a broken neck. When the drummer emerged from hospital wearing a brace, Lemmy recalled, “I cut a bow tie out of black gaffer tape and stuck it on the front so that he looked like a Spanish waiter with a goiter.” “Phil’s done a lot of stuff besides that,” Lemmy went on to observe, in a masterly piece of understatement. “We were going to do a book called Hospitals I have Known Across Europe by Phil Taylor — a guide to European emergency rooms.” One US tour was dubbed the “Motörhead casualty tour” after Taylor badly bruised his ribs falling over on the tour bus while drunk. Motörhead went through a number of changes in line-up over the years. The guitarist Eddie Clarke left the group in 1982 during a tour of the US in protest at Lemmy’s version of Tammy Wynette’s Stand By Your Man, a collaboration with the punk-metal singer Wendy O Williams, which he felt had betrayed Motörhead’s core principles. Taylor resigned in 1984 but, typically, could not remember why, recalling that “there weren’t any fights or problems like that”. (Lemmy later made a pointed comment about a heavy metal band Taylor was going to form “which was going to be, but wasn’t, much better than Motörhead”). His place was taken by Pete Gill, but, as Lemmy later admitted, though at least as good a drummer as Taylor, Gill “didn’t fit in image-wise, from the personality point of view”. There was relief all round when Taylor returned to the band in 1987. “The Animal’s back in the zoo,” declared Lemmy. Taylor remained with Motörhead for a further five years, but was fired in 1992 during the recording of the March or Die album after failing to learn the drum tracks on the song I Ain’t No Nice Guy, and after several warnings that he needed to “get his act together”. Philip Taylor was born on September 21 1954, at Hasland near Chesterfield. After replacing Motörhead’s first drummer, Lucas Fox in 1975, it was he who introduced the band to “Fast” Eddie Clarke, having worked with him while painting a houseboat. After leaving Motörhead for the first time in 1984, Taylor joined Brian Robertson (who had played guitar briefly with Motörhead in the early 1980s but was deemed “not dirty enough” by devotees), to form the band Operator. In 1986, he joined the Frankie Miller Band and toured Europe, Scandinavia and America, but as he recalled, “I didn’t get along too well with Frankie on the road, so I left.” Altogether Taylor recorded 10 studio albums with Motörhead and after leaving the band for a second time, from 2005 to 2008 he played and recorded in a group called the Web of Spider with Iggy Pop on guitar. He played drums sporadically for other groups, including Mick Farren and The Deviants. Phil Taylor made his last public appearance in November last year when he, Lemmy and Clarke, the classic Motörhead lineup, reunited for a gig at the National Indoor Arena in Birmingham. In the event Taylor came on stage, waved to the crowd and left. Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, born September 21 1954, died November 11 2015

I took the G from Clinton Washington up to the L to Manhattan and got off at Union Sq. As I was walking towards Irving Place I see Lemmy and Phil coming up out of the IRT stairs, Lemmy has his bass. Oh cool they took the subway. I get to Irving Plaza, and there's a small group out front. There's a yellow Checker cab with the door open and the cabbie is yelling at the guy who's trying to get out. "PAY YER FARE!!" yells the cabby. "But But I don't have any Yank dollars" sez the long haired skinny guy in the back. Lemmy and Phil arrive out front and start laughing. The guy in the back of the cab is Fast Eddie, their guitar player. "YOUSE AINT LEAVIN' UNTIL YOU OR ONE O YER FREAK FRIENDS PAYS THREE DOLLARS!!!" Eddie begs Lemmy, anybody anybody, to pay the fare for him. He looks worried and very embarrassed. Lemmy and some of the crew are still pointing and laughing at him. We laugh too, but a little uncomfortably because the cabby is really getting irate and we saw Taxi Driver which was filmed literally a few blocks away. Who knows this cabby could be packing iron and lose his shit over three dollars. This goes on for another ten minutes or so until the manager comes out and pays the cabby three dollars. Got to hang with Lemmy at the back bar after the show (Phil collapsed and went to hospital), I got him to autograph a movie section page from the Daily News, Lemmy picked out the Escape From New York ad, "Oi, that'sf wot were doin' next, yeah?"

A true down to earth lad if there ever was one. Shared drinks and stories with him and ALWAYS had time for his fans.

They were on the side stage while Megadeth was on the main stage; that scenario should have been reversed IMO. Before that, I rememeber 'Head being popular on Top Of The Pops, especially their duet with Girlschool.
