yes, yes it WOULD have been a waste of $1000 to have travelled alone
to Hawkestra!

Their concerts are abusive. Always a warpig backdrop for you and they
are always 50 minutes late whilst everyone stands shoulder to shoulder
in a sweaty hall where no re-entry is permitted, and it's true they're
into making the volume so high you can't recognize favorite songs. In
his mr. Bigshot biography I heard he said something to the effect that
Rob Calvert was not a genius...but cannot get furious until seen
first hand. Also perplexed to see Lemmy schmoozing at a WWF show on
TV. It's good music though, the Motorhead songs I like, as for whole
albums I can play alot I guess there's two perhaps 3, and for me the
most recent stuff I liked was Sacrifice (1995). Like Sacrifice alot
actually, as much as the self titled Motorhead album.
