MOTORHEAD-BORN TO LOSE,LIVE TO WIN!!! This is the story of Rock and Roll from the early begining. This is the real story...it's story of MOTORHEAD! The centre of this is Lemmy Killmister - leader, singer and bass-guitar player. He's nowdays 45 years old, but he's still rollin' like in old days. In the early seventies they used Lemmy in NewMusicalExpress as scarecrow for little kids and their parents. But it wasn't always like that. Lemmy comes from a very decent and respected family. His father was a priest in anglo-christian church, so they were often moving and they longer lived in Blackpool. Young Ian Kilminster that time didn't want to know nothing about the music. He lived at his farm in Wales where he was raising horses. But after hearing Little Richard he sold his horses, left his family and hit the road... His music was (and still is) inspired with groups and musicians as Little Richard, Buddhy Holly, Eddie Cochran and "The Shadows", but Lemmy plays his rock and roll much harder, faster and louder. His first group was (very short) Blackpool local group "Motown Sect", but shortly after he joined local heroes "Rockin' Vickers". That time the coolest place to be was London, so Lemmy went to the metropolis... It was in 1966 and Lemmy's plan to form a band failed, so he returned home. He try's it again a year later. He become roadie of Jimmy Hendrix on his legendary tour across the England. That time with Jimmy also played "The Move", "Pink Floyd", "Amen Corner", "The Nice" and "Heir Apparent" (later Joe's Cocker "Grease Band"). Lemmy had a good time with Hendrix. He was present when "Axis:Bold of Love" and "Electric Ladyland" albums were recorded. Allready that time, Hendrix was compleately out, but Lemmy rembered the fabolous Hendrix style. No body knows how was he playing and no one can't play it like Jimmy. The golden times finished and Jimmy moved back to New York and Lemmy joined psychodelical "Sam Gopal and His Dream". In 1971 when Lemmy joined them, the group was in total chaos. They were all on drugs and Lemmy was there to "play" bass-guitar. They had to bought him bass-guitar, but they knew that it wasn't a bad investion. One night Lemmy was visited by Dick Mik who was just kicked out of "Hawkwind". They were boozing together for about three months, when they stayed out of money. Dick went back to "Hawkwind" and he brought his new friend with him. The place of solo-guitar player was empty. Huw Lloyd-Langton on festival "Isle of Wight" took lot of LSD, said that he is going for a walk a nobody saw him for five years!!! The seven member crew was doing well. New bass-guitar player was real refreshment. Song "Silver Machine" was hit in England and LP's "Doremi Fasol Latido" (1972) and "Space Ritual" (1973) were selling well. In may of 1975 on groups American tour, Lemmy forget to hyde dope so stayed in prison for ten days. After they left him he played his last gig with "Hawkwind" in Toronto and then was kick-out. This was the Hawkwind's biggest mistake 'coz their USA tour was a failure. Lemmy returned to England and MOTORHEAD was born. He stealed drumer Lucas Fox and guitar player Larry Wallis from band called "Pink Fairies". Together they recorded their first album "On Parole". The name of the group was the name of last song wich Lammy wrote for "Hawkwind". This song was also on B-side of their single. Motorhead is sleng for people who are using "speed" (kind of dope). Not even the song "Kings Of Speed" from the first side of this single wasn't about car racers. Soon after drumer Lucas Fox was kicked-out and repalced with young Phillip "Animal" Teylor, Lemmy found new guitar man Eddie Clark and Larry left the group. The trio had a tour with "Hawkwind". After they wanted to record a single, but insted of two they recorded eleven songs. The new album called "Motorhead", recorded for independent firm "Chiswick" was out. The group was named as "the worst group in the world", and nobody knew are they the last psychodelic group, new punk group or one of the first heavy metal bands! The new album compleately cut from the critics, was selling bad, so "Chiswick" kick 'em out. "Chiswick" regret this very much and they released live bootleg called "What's Words Worth" with owful sound. In that time Motorhead was allready in "Bronze" recording their 3rd studio album "Overkill" (1979,Bronze) which included legendary punk hit "Louie,Louie". This album was produced by exRolling Stones producer Jimmy Miller and single was sold in that time big number of 60000 pieces. Lp "Overkill" is mentioned in every R'n'R encyclopedia as first thrash metal album of rock history. Next two Lp's "Bomber" (1979) and "Ace Of Spades" (1980) was even better. Motorhead was becoming more popular in USA, mostly between Californian "Hell's Angels". Punk was dying and new wawe of british heavy metal was caming. Punk died but Motorhead survived and found itself new fans. Motorhead reached the top with fantastic "No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith" in 1981, live recorded in London's Hammersmith Odeon. Lp was for long time in the top of british charts and it's best live lp recorded in Britain 'til nowdays! Then come's out "Iron Fist" (1982) not so firefull like in old days. It missed the flame of older lp's. Then "Fast" Eddie Clark left the crew. He completly went nuts when Lemmy made two "out" projects: first with girls band Girlschool-maxy single "St.Valentine's Day Massacre" (1981) and the second one with singer of "Plasmatics" Wendy O.Williams in 1982. Eddie was followed by Phill and Motorhead was just touring around without a target. Continues on the next article...
