Yeah... just 'cuz I can. Sue me.

Ok, so, I saw Motorhead last night. While I'm telling you about it I might as well turn this into a mini review. Supporting bands were Danko Jones and Saxon. The former I wasn't expecting much, but they were pretty good. I might check out some more of their work soon. Saxon, those old bastards from the 70's were great. By the time Motorhead actually came on stage I was way too tired from 'banging to the first two (not so much DJ but you get the idea). I'll admit, Motorhead's setlist wasn't as epic as I expected... only two tracks from Kiss of Death (One Night Stand and Be My Baby) and one from Motorizer (Rock Out) and a bunch of others from all sorts of albums (IIRC... Iron Fist, Stay Clean, Whorehouse Blues, Killed by Death, Just Cos You Got the Power, and some more) I didn't recognise some of them, but partially because of the noise. The crowd were slightly moving around for DJ, there was quite a bit of headbanging for Saxon and when Motorhead came on... hell broke loose. You couldn't breathe (literally, at some points I was struggling to stay alive) and several mosh-pits opened up. Once you got pushed in there, you don't get out. You're fucked. Luckily, I didn't get caught in them but I ended up stuck being an incredibly sweaty shirtless fat guy who stunk of cigarettes and was incredibly sticky (I got shoved up his back several times). Despite the carnage, it was a lot of fun. I was mostly too tired after about 5 songs but I really made an effort at the end where they played Spades and Overkill. It was madness... plastic beer cups were being thrown everywhere (some guy actually poured some of it down my t-shirt) people beating the shit out of each other, and of course, crowd surfers. It was way too hectic to do anything except try and resist the bald fat guys throwing you from side to side. My ears are absolutely KILLING ME though. I can't hear shit. It was pretty funny when I tried listening to some stuff with my headphones on the way home because the singers sounded really funny. (Ben Burnley sounded like an alien XD) So yeah... I had a great time.

FINAL VERDICT: A bit of a dissapointing setlist, but still a mosh-worthy good time. Great support bands (who weren't on for too long, unlike when I saw Electric Six) and probably the most epic drum solo you will ever heard (as an interlude; Mikkey Dee did this 10-minute solo which was basically the drum equivalent of the solo from One). I probably won't go see them again for a while, maybe because i'm not used to environments like that, but it was fun. 8/10
