Seen in the wild
Motorhead opened for Alice Cooper in St. John's in Feb 1988. They were deafening. Then last summer outside being 2 people off centre stage listening to Def Leppard's bass making my insides shake.
Motorhead - 2003 with Iron Maiden and Dio... But Motorhead was definitely the loudest!!!
HeyChatGPT, can you give me a Motorhead cover band that plays Thursday nights at a pub if their lead singer doesn't have to work late but as a wrestler? And give him some vaguely uncomfortable symbology? Thanks.
