Two days to go

[m20gull]

Hammersmith Odeon, here we come!

 

[Superphil]

I think you will enjoy. Of the new songs, "A Thousnad Names of God" stood out well. Get ready to hear "Another Perfect Day" for the first time since '83 and pretty good it was too.
Oh, and a special guest on the encore, can you guess who?

BTW, try and catch Danko Jones, the first support, he is pretty damn good, and of course I am sure you won't miss Saxon, well worth the entry fee alone.

Enjoy, I don't think it will be long before he signals his last.

Saxon! That will be a blast from the past. Not seen them since about 1980.

 

[Superphil]

Take it from me, they are excellent. Seen them a few times recently, and saw then back in the day a couple of times too. Better now, and they still play a lot of the old stuff. New album out in Jan 09, single out now, Live to Rock. Biff really can belt them out, guitarist is the only other survivor from WOS.

Saxon were excellent, just proper old-school rock.

Motorhead were simply Motorhead. Incomparable. Worth the money for Stay Clean and Overkill alone. And In the Name of Trgedy proves it's not just the old stuff that rocks.

Did you get the Fuel Girls in Brighton?

 

[Buzzer]

Don't know as I got to the Brighton gig at the beginning of Saxon. It was an absolutely top night though at the Dome.

Saxon were exactly as you described. Loved the banter they had with the crowd too. They were relaxed, well polished and very tight as a unit. Pure Spinal Tap moments too but done with big smiles on their faces.

Motorhead were exactly what they say on the tin. Lemmy describes the band as a "fuckin' rock n roll band" and they are just that. First time I'd seen them in concert since Knebworth and the more intimate surroundings and better acoustics brought the best from the 3 piece.

I'd had a really tough day that day with emotions running all over the place but that gig at the Dome kind of raised my spirits and quenched the thirst for an adrenaline rush.

Would DEFINITELY go again.

 

[Superphil]

No, we had Danko Jones and Saxon, the Fuel Girsl look like fun, what do they do, were they on stage with Motorhead, or did they have their own, ahem, slot?

 

[m20gull]

Fuel Girls were on stage during Killed by Death and Ace of Spades.

All writhing around, fire eating and stuff. In very few clothes.

Lydon, or Ozzy?

I know I never got an invitation :thud:

 

[Barrel of Fun]

Hammersmith was invaded by 40/50 somethings in leather jackets and Motorhead t-shirts. Rolling back the clock!

Lydon, or Ozzy?

Nope, it was Wurzel!

Fuel girls, like this:
