Lucky you!! I was wanting to go see them again on the 19th of November in Glasgow but since it's so close to when I fly out, I'm trying to conserve funds. Will have to give it a miss this time. Always an awesome show from them!
We'll give Phil a hello from you.
The show was a major success for me!! Took pictures from the photo pit and interviewed LEMMY!!!! m/
And yeah, met Kirsten and Courtney in the crowd after doing the photo gig m/
Kirsten "Bruce Chickinson";8608898 said:It was great seeing you in the crowd! Yeah, Court and I managed to squeeze our way to the front of the stage, which was no small feat given how impacted the crowd was. In fact, we ended up on the edge of the pit, and I seriously prayed to Something to give me the strength to make it through "Ace of Spades." :zombie: And, indeed, I made it out alive, with teeth intact and no black eyes, but with yanked out hair and crushed and bruised feet.
I wish I woulda caught the opening act. Rock on, Motorhead!
I'm actually quite shocked to hear that about Motorhead crowds in the US. When I saw them in 2008, I was about 3rd row on the left for Saxon, left to get a drink and pretty much walked back up to the space I'd just left once I'd got my drink. When Motorhead came on, I was expected a big crush down the front cos that's just what I'm used to experiencing when a band kicks off but there was no pushing or shoving at all. Everyone was just pumping their fists in the air, headbanging and singing along. It was a very pleasant change I have to admit cos I could watch the band up close and have a great time without worrying about trying to stay upright or whether I could breathe or not.
Oh I wish there was more of the fist pumping, headbanging and singing along at our shows rather than the mindless pushing and shoving
I find that many douchebags come to the show only so that they can have a nice excuse for getting drunk and stoned out of their minds and picking a fight with anyone who comes in their way.
I liked the Anaheim show better than the LA show. For me, always, the smaller the venue, the better the show m/
Nice setlist!!!!!!!! They never played Bomber last time I saw them!!!!! Argh!!! That's one of my faves along with Metropolis.
