     I think what Andy meant was that since we all know that Motorhead is
basically hyper-velocity Chuck Berry with very big amplifiers :) the
article probably wouldn't tell us anything exciting and new about
Motorhead (i.e. it wouldn't have any "new content").

My apologies to Andy.... I totally misunderstood. I'm deeply sorry!
Carl, I agree with you that MH is basically "hyper-velocity Chuck Berry
with very big amplifiers", but MH differ in that the bass is usually the
lead instrument, very distorted and played as if it were a rhythm
guitar... Chuck didn't sound like he had gravel for breakfast either. The
Lemster makes all the difference...

Sorry,

Ola
