ohhhh 
been a big fan of 'em for many years, Lemmy's a proper living legend IMO
have yet to experience the Motorheadache live, but i've got quite a few of their albums in fact Overkill was the first album the really got me into heavy metal/hard rock TBH, they seem to get heavier and more raw with each one too, Inferno is properly heavy!

I first saw them in June 1977, supporting Hawkwind (I also saw Lemmy during his Hawkwind days). I've seen them 11 times in total, including a memorable Hammy Odeon show in 1979, when they were supported by Saxon. That is still the loudest ever - my hearing wasn't fully back to normal for 3 days. I missed the 25th Anniversary show at Brixton, but did attend the 30th at Hammersmith. That was a real nostalgia trip, as Saxon & Girlschool were supporting, and they had the "Bomber" lighting rig. Amazing to think that Lemmy's 62 now, and on the strength of recent performances and the last couple of albums, is not showing any signs of giving up yet. Long may he continue. And I hate to break it to the OP, but the Hyde Park show supporting the Foos wasn't by any means the full Motorhead experience; far too subdued & quiet. You really need to see them on one of their own tours, preferably indoors. Finally, if there's a drummer out there that can match Mikkey Dee for sheer power and speed for a solid hour and a half, I'd like to see them.

oh beleave me, i plan too, did want to go and see them at the academy when clutch sussported them, but alas, at the time i had no money (always skint) but bands are always better indoors or at smaller venues, so yeah, role onthee next tour
I've seen Motorhead in various small venues around Birmingham over the last 20 years 
(Powerhouse and more recently Carling Academy).
gave the Joan Jett/Alice Cooper tour a miss at end of 2007, as it was at NIA, which, IMHO, is too big.
If you have never seen them, you gotta go. With those immortal words "We are Motorhead, and we play Rock 'n' Roll", everything else, and I mean EVERYTHING, you have seen live before, is completely sterile Pop Factor fodder

Sepultura once covered a classic motorhead song, but i cannot for the life of me remember what it was called now. anyone know? I think it was on a sepultura b side around Beneath The Remains time. The Motorhead song in question is an all time classic - quite slow, plodding, heavy and extremely melodic

It was Orgasmatron: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2oRsw1wuhaAg
One of the best covers ever IMHO, and this particular vid still puts the hairs up on the back of my neck...and I think it shows how Monsters Of Rock had a different vibe to Download!
