Motorhead

Hello Everyone!

I guess by now if you've seen my mixpod then you know that I am obsessed with Motorhead.

My fan love affair with Motorhead began in the mid to late 80's when I was coming up in the world.

The 80's were a great time for music and it was then I was finding my truer identity.
It did not seem that anyone really thought or believed what I did or even like I did at that time.

After going to some skate shops and meeting probably some not so great people, I was introduced to this raw, gritty, sermon type style of singing and music and that is when I found someone who thought like me for the first time ever.


Motorhead's musical styling was raw, gritty, unyielding, and relentless beyond belief.
It rips out your jugular, spits it back at you, chews it up one more time and shoves it down your throat.
It's a runaway truck that will deliver a dose of reality to you in hell-fury sermon form!!!

All the way from the thunderous bass that Lemmy Kilmister plays like the god of thunder "Thor" all the way down to the lyrics that are delivered to you from a man who is 6'5+ like an angry sermon.

His lyrics are real and will cut you to the bone. Shedding the comfort of belief and forcing you to finally accept the atrocities of everyday real life!!!

Within those lyrics however beyond the ripping and shredding of your heart and soul, is the ultimate truth that life is not always full of. It will take your deepest most horrible pain, extenuate it, and provide some comfort that there are others who feel like you and have given a voice to all the pain so loud that it will even force the gods above to take notice of you and listen to your screams!!!

Motorhead are nothing spectacular to the world, however they are to me.
Take one listen and you will see, that there is a truth, the world forgot about long long ago.

Long live Motorhead!!!

Singing & Playing Music On Stage:

“5 MINUTES TILL STAGE TIME.”
Oh crud is what I was thinking at the moment when I heard that.


Not sure if it was just a case of stage fright or butterflies in my stomach maybe the same two.


Here I was on stage in front of about 1000 people or so about to perform for the first time, along with a few band mates, we were finally here ready to take that next step into the unknown.


Everything that we have done, all of the practicing, the countless rehearsals, the late nights, the writing, the creating, the conceptualizing, the planning, all have led to this moment.


"YOUR UP" was the next thing I hear and I snap back to reality, we break out of our zones of concentration, we walk down the hallway, hearing the crowd chant and yell and scream as we make our way to the stage we're now taking the stage, not really sure how this will go, we look at each other as we plug our instruments in, giving that look of its now or never. We know that this is our time now!


The lights come on and in that moment we find the sync between us and we come alive!

The Expendables

Hey everyone, JB here checking in with you today.

2 weeks ago, I witnessed one of the greatest films since the eighties.
A return to the action filled blockbuster style of films from the 80's, "THE EXPENDABLES."

The movie stars featured in this film are of an incredible caliber and talent.
Sylvester Stallone, Jason Statham, Randy Couture, Jet Li, Terry Crews, Dolph Lundgren, Mickey Rourke, Bruce Willis, "Stone Cold"Steve Austin, and a rare cameo appearance by the one and only "Governator" of California, Arnold Schwarzenegger.

A definite who's who of Blockbuster Action films from the 80's all the way to now.

Action is non-stop, and will hit you like a runaway freight train.

Not at least to mention all of the Blood, Gore, Violence, and one very Beautiful Woman who has more to do with the story than you will ever know.

All of this leads to the self-fulfilling Blockbuster Action we have all come to know and expect during these types of movies, and it does not disappoint!!!

The depth of the characters and their back stories were a bit limited for now, however, Sly says he already has the second one planned out in his mind and as such, will expand on the characters we already know and potentially bring new characters into the story to help further the adventure along.

So what are you waiting for get moving, summer is almost over and before you know it, their will be something else in the theaters, so go and see "THE EXPENDABLES."

AND THAT'S AN ORDER!!!!

Stay Wild Friends
