As someone in the comments to this one said, when Lemmy covers your song, it's not your song anymore.

Straight up, no nonsense ass kicking rock n roll. Lemmy is my spirit animal.

That they aren’t in the hall of fame is a disgrace.

My then future wife and I were on a date early in our relationship. I looked at the marquee of a club called Trees and saw "Motörhead". I said "Oh fuck yeah!" We got in line, got in, and had one of the best nights ever.

While I can't credit it to Lemmy and his magic, we are still together!

Checked other threads and the same message is showing everywhere a video is posted. As far as I can tell it started happening a few hours ago.

Is this a temporary DU issue or a device/wifi problem on my end?

But in Dallas.


This summer I'm taking my granddaughter and her boyfriend to see Iron Maiden in South Florida.

Oh and Motorhead is still the loudest band I've ever seen.

The guitarist does a lot of videos for Electro-Harmonix. Gear vids take up way too much of my time. Love them too. I like American guitar and British amps.

Since I don't have a lotta cash but been wanting a new axe I been watching a lot of Harley Benton gear vids lately. Been leaning towards picking up one these ... thinking it's pretty kickass for $177 ... this guy is an amazing player, too ... I like his vids ...

I like his videos and his humour (yes I'm Canadian). Harley Benton is heaven for guitarists. I would be wary of the cheap cabinets. I want a strat and a Tele with hum buckers. But not before I have a strat with single coils. Great sound in this video. I'd rather have a Blackstar then an Orange amp.

Perfectly adequate and fun practice amp

Had to sell my Rivera Venus 5 combo to Guitar Center last year to make some bills after the divorce ... that was a sad day ... but I'd bought it for cheap and got back what I paid, so ... there was that.

Bought it from a friend during his divorce. A steal along with a Japanese Strat. The strat and amp are long gone.

In 1976 ... And the 'brand' ... is 'Orange' (although it's definitely not REALLY an 'Orange')

This is a strange set of coincidences

I gave it to friend who wanted a guitar. Black body, white fretboard, maple fretboard.. Clapton style. Then I bought a Japanese Fender. Fitted with a Kahler tremolo. Quite rare. Gong to get the same guitar in cream or white.

Of my Japanese Imitation Strat, which purports to be an Orange ... it's Cream, with Maple neck, and White pick guard ... along with my BlackStar amp ... and as I'm sure you can recognize ... that's a freaking Kahler trem on my axe (which I put on in the 1980's).

Like, are you at my house? I mean, seriously ... this is just a little uncanny

i used to think I saw Ritchie Blackmore play one. Maybe it was white. Love the colour. Only one I can find is the is an Yngwie Malmsteen model. Don't like trying to plat scalloped frets. Maple fretboard with a strat is what
I want. My first guitar had that and it was super creamy.
