I ended up getting a text about this at 1:30 this morning. I’d seen Motorhead a ton of times, they always put on a good show, even the time there wasn’t more then 20-30 people at a Baltimore show years ago. They played with so much power they popped the power at that show.

I never could figure out how people could go to one of their shows without ear plugs, my ex used to go and say she didn’t have any problems hearing after, even with ear plugs my ears hurt.

Gotta admit, Lemmy lived his live like he wanted. Lot to be said for that.

And now for my favorite Motorhead song, [Stay Clean.](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xVFJrOlwdkw)

> If anyone hasn’t seen the 2010 documentary _[Lemmy](http://www.imdb.com/title/tt1236472/)_, I highly recommend it. I expect VH-1 Classic will be showing it again soon.

I’ve seen it. Highly recommended.
