Speed freak, Lemmy's biggest fault, at least during the Hawkwind days. [Show/Hide Quoted Message](Quoting Message by Necroticist from Tuesday, May 04, 2010 5:43:17 AM)

There's a couple of Hawkwind versions - the original and best was the B-side to a single, which is now on the remastered Warrior CD i mentioned, the other was a 12'' single outtake that appeared in the '80's. And yes - Lemmy sang/wrote it and it was the inspiration for his band. Ppl over here don't know the USA term 'motorhead', means 'speed-freak'. Useless info that i am a mine of..lol.

When I said their version that makes it sound like a cover. For those that don't know,
that was the birth of Motorhead.

Primal Scream do a pretty cool version of Motorhead as well.

I forget which album it's on but if you haven't heard it already
check out their version of "Motorhead". It's pretty cool.

The two albums I got are really good so I'll definately be on the lookout for more. I'll keep an eye out for the ones you mentioned. From the small amount heard I'm sure they would be awesome live.

Early Hawkwind...now ur talkin'! Best albums tho are Space Ritual or Warrior On The Edge Of Time. In my roadie days was lucky enuff to work with the band and several side projects...always fun...I'd rate em as one of the best live bands i've seen. :)

Not sure where the old thread for this went but thought I'd start it up again because it's a cool way to find out about what others are listening to. Anyway here's what I bought today.
Doremi Fasol Latido - Hawkwind.
Hall Of The Mountain Grill - Hawkwind.
Remission - Mastodon.
Queensryche - Queensryche.
Joe's Garage - Frank Zappa.
