Wow, I thought he was a rough 45 or something actually he doesn't look that bad for his age. White Line Fever, hmm, was he an actor?

That was a joke, there was an old Movie called White Line Fever (I think that was the title) about car racing, I think his title probably has more to do with snow and the outdoors than racing, well maybe just snow, haha!

Everyone knows that White Line Fever is off the debut Motorhead LP.

As a major Motorhead freak in high school, Lemmy was very cool to meet in person, and even humored me by signing my newly purchased Blizzard of Oz album at an in-store. They were opening for Ozzy at the time, and actually played the arena next to my high school. That was the only time I saw Randy Rhoads live...

Well I grew up in Southampton until I was around 5, then we moved up here.

Currently live in Newcastle-under-Lyme. I've done lots and lots of gigs all over the place, especially 'Castle and Stafford in particular. Heard of the Sugarmill.. or The Old Brown Jug...? Image

I've also met Lem a couple of times and he was as nice as pie; never met a more pleasant "rock star" in fact. Talked about Blackpool(he lived here for a while)and about various things to do with his career; often when I've met influential (to me at least) musicians it's been a disappointment, but with Lem it was anything but.
