        Yeah, I would be more worried about this if it didn't already seem
to be the case.  I fear we're into a downward trend that won't reverse :(
[Damn.  This is like the week to be negative of boc-l!]  Still, at least
Motorhead are still kicking ass :)

        Ooo, not me!  I have the confidence to say I could kick Harvey's
butt on bass ;) but I can't touch Alan.  Or Ade Shaw.  Let's not discuss
Lemmy ...
        We have more experienced musician's on this list!  Get them :)
        Which is not to say that it wouldn't be fun to jam out with Brock :)

        I too would vote for a new bassist ... but I can't see how they can
find a better player and writer for HW than Alan (or Lemmy).

        It's not over till its over.  I look forward to good music from
Alan and HW, but the whole situation has me worried.

Cheers,
Carl
