OFF: Better popular bands??)

>MOTORHEAD!!!!!

Speaking of which, saw them yesterday, main reason I went
to Ozzfest, and made the whole show worthwhile (don't get me
wrong, Ozzy was fine, and Megadeath did a nice version of
Anarchy, but I didn't care for Tool.

Sad seeing Lemmy relegated to the 2nd stage, they had barely
30 feet x 50 feet for their entire setup.  Didn't matter.  The
main stage has seating, the 2nd stage just asphault, which got
me in front, shoved back, in front, etc. repeatedly in a typically
violent shoving pit in the front.  Coral Sky (West Palm Beach) is
a fine concert venue, (seats under roof in the front half, open
air sloped grass in the back.  The slope formed a small hill of
sorts, giving an area to the side partially sheltered from the
main stage, this was where they stuck Lemmy & co.

They only gave him half an hour, which was a crime.  about a
half dozen classics, plus a song from the latest album or two,
didn't keep track.  He was aware of the time, too, every time
some kind of chant or shouting started up he'd say "we don't
have time for that" and get on with the next song.  Didn't waste
any other time, just the typical "We're Motorhead and we're gonna
kick your ass" intro.

Anyways, I skipped this show last time around, but Motorhead
was worth it alone.  Whoever had the 2nd stage before them was
also worthwhile seeing, but didn't catch their name...




 And he took the stars in his hands
 and as he scattered them he'd shout:
 "I'm the Joker of the Universe!
  I'm What it's all about!"
