I can't speak for others here, but the fact that headlining bands (or their
organisation/crew) frequently do things to screw over the openers is hardly
new news to me (nor, obviously, to Bob Mayo!).  There might have been more
of a discussion if he had commented on BOC's *music*, whether in a positive
or negative light.

It WAS Motorhead's first "high-profile" gig, so I'd have to believe it
would be among the most memorable ones in Lemmy's career of thousands of
shows (memorable to Lemmy, that is).  And he's certainly notorious for
complaining about bands on the same bill being "difficult" (W.A.S.P.,
anyone?)
