I'm not really a fan or anything and if the recent discussion included this
I apologise - But check this out dudes for a "keen" night out.

The first four paragraphs - Written by Mick Wall appearing in Mojo magazine
# 10 September 99

"Me and Dikmik had been up for four days, right, on Dexedrine spansules, so
we're pretty well bent" Lemmy explains. "But we had this gig at the
Roundhouse - the one where we recorded Silver Machine - so we had a couple
of Mandrax to calm down. Then it got a bit so we had two black bombers each.

"We get to the Roundhouse and somebody comes in with a lot of bombers and we
take 10 each - a lot. Then someone comes up with some Mandrax and we were
getting very twisted up by now so had at least three each to calm us down
again. Then somebody came up with cocaine, fucking bags of it, and we
thought we'd have some of that. All this time in the dressing room there is
constant smoking - we were all blasted out of our heads on dope. And people
were producing acid and mescaline. We all had some of that.

"By the time we come to go on stage me and Dikmik are stiff as boards. I
said, I can't move, I said Can you? Dikmik said , "No. Fucking great isn't
it? I said, What are we going to do when we can't play? He said We'll think
of something..."
 "The gig itself was INCREDIBLE," Hawkwind manager Doug Smith shakes his
head in disbelief nearly 25 years later. "But that was the thing about
Hawkwind. You never really knew how out of it they were because they were
like that ALL THE TIME. it was insane! I think we were insane for a long
time..."
