Woman Looking For The Father Of Her Motörhead Baby - Help Her!

This HAS to be the most ridiculous Craiglist post we have ever seen! Apparently, some dude with a red Mohawk hooked up with some chick inside the bathroom at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago, Illinois during Gigantour. While this is all part of the Rock N' Roll life style, the dude should have wrapped it up! It turns out that he got the chick pregnant. Here is the post:

"If you're a dude with a red Mohawk who recently got lucky at a Motörhead/Megadeth concert in the bathroom at the Aragon Ballroom in Chicago — or if you know a dude who matches such a description — you totally need to keep checking the Missed Connections section on Craigslist. The woman with whom you had an encounter has something that was left behind."

"Did we hook up at the Megadeth/Motorhead concert? - w4m - 28 (Aragon Ballroom)," reads the anonymous post that was live through last Thursday:

    Me: Blue hair, silver tube top, fishnets, Knee high black biker boots.

    You: Red mohawk, black pentagram gauges, viper piercings.

 "Anyway I'm pregnant. It's yours. contact me if you want to be part of your child's life."

Motörhead Prove Their Legacy At Gigantour In New York Rock City!


Last Saturday (January 28) we had the chance to catch the legendary Heavy Metal band Motörhead live and loud at New York City's WaMu Theater, located inside Madison Square Garden. The occasion? The 2012 version of Gigantour, which also featured Megadeth, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil! The sold out show, which welcomed over 6,000 headbangers, had a lot of ups and downs! While the bands all performed their very best, the volume for all four bands was too low for such a big show. As a result, many concertgoers felt ripped off! We can't blame them! Heavy Music is meant to be loud and proud.

As we all know not only is Motörhead one of the most influential Heavy Metal bands of all time, but lets not forget that their singer/song writer/bassist/badass Lemmy Kilmister is GOD! Or as Oderus from Gwar puts it: "the Metallic Pope"!

After over 35 years of extreme hard work, drinking, partying and taking all over the world, some may think that the band might be getting old and that they are becoming irrelevant. Rest assured that when it comes to Motörhead this equation does not apply, specially not after the release of their new album titled "The World Is Yours". The band sounds fresh, tight as hell, and just like with fine Whiskey: the more they age, the better they get.

From the moment they stepped on stage and faced the rabid fans who sold it out the show, the entire room went absolutely insane! In the many years we have been attending concerts, we have never seen a crowd throw so many Horns UP as they did whenever Lemmy interacted with the furious crowd! The band played classics such as "Ace Of Spades" and "Overkill". Additionally, drummer Mikkey Dee performed a very impressive solo!


SETLIST:

1) Bomber
2) Damage Case
3) I Know How To Die
4) Metropolis
5) Over the Top
6) The Chase Is Better Than the Catch
7) The One to Sing the Blues (Drum solo)
8) Going to Brazil
9) Killed by Death
10) Ace of Spades
11) Overkill

If there is a man that should have a statue in London's Trafalgar Square, its Lemmy Kilmister! And if Motörhead does not get inducted into the Rock N' Roll Hall Of Fame, we will personally start a riot! \m/

Lacuna Coil's Cristina Scabbia Discusses Gigantour, NEW Album 'Dark Adrenaline' & More!


This past weekend, the 2012 version of Gigantour took over The Theater at Madison Square Garden! This time around Dave Mustaine from Megadeth, who is the creator of Gigantour, brought with him Motörhead, Volbeat, and Lacuna Coil! The sold out show, which welcomed over 6,000 headbangers, had a lot of ups and downs! While the bands all performed their very best, the volume for all four bands was too low for such a big show. As a result, many concertgoers felt ripped off! We can't blame them! Heavy Music is meant to be loud and proud.

Some of the highlights of the night included: Mikkey Dee's drum solo, Lemmy's crowd control, and Cristina Scabbia's guest appearance during Megadeth's "A Tout Le Monde"!

Prior to show, we had the chance to chat with Lacuna Coil's own Cristina Scabbia. During the conversation, we chatted with her about the bands involvement in these years Gigantour. We also discussed the bands NEW album 'Dark Adrenaline', and she even offered a handful of helpful tips for fellow artists.

MOTÖRHEAD Fire Up 2012 With EPIC DVD & Will Be Rocking At Gigantour

Another country, another town, another place, the greatest road warriors in Rock have once again bled their sweat all over another stage. A sold-out crowd roars their approval. Here we go: Lemmy steps up to the mike…

“WE ARE MOTÖRHEAD ! ...AND WE PLAY ROCK‘N‘ROLL !”

And after each show one thing is crystal clear: Motörhead remain the finest, loudest, hardest and coolest live British Rock N’ Roll band around. The global tour for their 20th studio release, 'The Wörld is Yours', took in Motörhead bangers from America to Argentina, Belgium to Brazil, from Sweden to Spain and dozens of other countries all over the world.

In celebration of their 35 years on the road, on January 24th Motörhead Music/UDR is proud to present: 'The Wörld Is Ours-Vol 1 - Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else', a blistering DVD containing some of the finest moments from the tour, including the entire performance from Chile’s Teatro Caupolican, shot and filmed in classic black and white by Banger Films and Sam Dunn (Iron Maiden Flight 666, Rush: Beyond The Lighted Stage). Mixed by the band‘s long-time producer Cameron Webb, The 'Wörld Is Ours - Vol 1 - Everywhere Further Than Everyplace Else' is stuffed with the classics Motörfans demand, from ‘Overkill‘ to “Ace Of Spades” to “Killed By Death” as well as some old gems like “Over The Top” and new favorites such as “I Know How To Die.”

As well as this epic Motörperformance, exciting numbers from the shows in Manchester and New York are also included on the triple-disc digipack set, along with a series of extensive, in depth and exclusive interviews with the band, a bonus double live CD of the Chile show (incl. selected tracks from NY & Manchester), plus a superbly photographed booklet documenting life on the road during the tour.

On January 26, Motörhead make their return to the U.S. and Canada on the multi-bill festival, GIGANTOUR, with Megadeth, Volbeat and Lacuna Coil. Gigantour is a chance to tour with like-minded artists “that play heavy music in a high-energy environment,” says Dave Mustaine. The tour will kick off on January 26th in Camden, NJ and runs through February 28th in Denver, and will include stops in NY (January 28th) and Los Angeles (February 24th). A complete list of tourdates can be seen below.

In other Motörhead news:

- Lemmy, The Movie, the film about Motörhead’s iconic frontman, won Best Film/DVD at the recent Classic Rock Awards in the U.K. and has also received an RIAA Gold sales award in North America.

- Paul Inder, Lemmy’s son, runs a successful recording studio in Los Angeles, Inder Music Studios, where Lemmy has been known to work. Says Paul, “Everyone who has come here so far loves the vibe of the place.”

- In last month’s issue of Revolver Magazine, the cover story was dedicated to the 100 Greatest Living Rock Stars, with Lemmy (of course) among the greats.

- In CMJ’s 2011 year-end charts, Motörhead’s CD, The World Is Yours, was number one on the Loud Rock chart. Upon the record’s release, it spent six weeks at number one on this chart, which is the longest that Motörhead has held that position at radio. Number One!

- We recently told you about Motörhead wine. (Their Shiraz got great reviews: “A fairly grown-up wine – can taste the fruitiness. A panel favorite.” And “A red wine that’s ‘Aces.’”) Now comes Motörhead Vodka. It’s a premium, 80 proof Vodka made from 100% locally grown wheat that has been distilled and bottled in Sweden. It has a rich, full-bodied and complex character, with a light and fruity aftertaste. One reviewer said, “That’s how women sometimes describe Lemmy.”

- In Duff McKagan’s ESPN.com weekly column, he recently wrote about his band, Loaded, opening for Motörhead in Germany. He says, “Being here on the road with Motörhead is to get an awe-inspiring peek into legend. Their consistancy remains a sort of explosive touchstone for all of us who need to be reminded of what is real and true and honest about rock music. Lemmy is still more on top of his game than five 20-year olds combined. If you get a chance to see this band, don’t even try to think twice about it. They are the very best of what it is all about…it’s like going to rock and roll church.”

- Motörhead were recently nominated for a Shorty Award, honoring the best of social media, recognizing the people and organizations producing real-time short form content across the social Web.

- Lemmy performed with Camp Freddy on their last 2011 show, which took place at the at the world famous Roxy on the Sunset Strip on the day before Lemmy’s 66th birthday. Participating in the tribute to Lemmy that night were Slash, Matt Sorum, John Lydon, among others, and also included birthday greetings from Ozzy.

- Lemmy will be part of a Ronnie James Dio tribute album which will be out later this year.

- And finally, two German scientists/academics discovered Motörhead in recent years and wrote an article about them, saying: “This band is loud and fresh, hard and relevant… Motörhead are the hardest trio of the rock world…The band is rocking.”

We agree!!

Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister Turns 66 Years Old!

Heavy Metal icon Ian Fraser Kilmister (A.K.A. Lemmy Kilmister) from Motörhead is celebrating his 66th birthday today! Please put your Horns Up, serve yourself some Jack and Coke, and crank up some Motörhead! HEAVY birthday Lemmy, we love you! \m/


For over thirty-five Lemmy Kilmister has been changing the face of Heavy Metal and has been making it a lot more fun. After a quick stint with Hawkwind, Lemmy realized that he was ready to form his own band and become the emblem of such band. In 1975, Lemmy formed Motörhead and immediately started making his presence be felt by helping to launch the "New Wave of British Heavy Metal"!

In the early 80's Motörhead had several singles in the UK Top 40 chart. Their albums "Overkill", "Bomber", "Ace of Spades", and "No Sleep 'til Hammersmith", engraved Motörhead as one of the most important Heavy Metal bands to ever come from the UK. To this day, you hear Motörhead's music on movies, TV shows, and covered by bands all over the world. As we all know, Lemmy is one of the most influential Heavy Metal icons of all time, and whoever said that Lemmy is God, is absolutely right.

Motörhead's 21st studio album "The World Is Yours" was released in February of this year, and it is considered one of the best albums in the long killer history of the Motörhead franchise. The first track “Born to Lose", which is Lemmy’s slogan (he has it tattooed on his right arm) kicks off the album with furious power. Then, one song after the other the Motörhead train gets loaded on Jack and Coke without losing focus and keeping their batteries charged.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Unleashes The Perfect Holiday Gift!


Ranked #1 by Joel McIver in his 'The 100 Greatest Metal Guitarists' book, Dave Mustaine has godfathered several generations of axe-wielders, first as the original lead guitarist for Metallica, and then as the founder of Megadeth. Now, Mustaine has teamed with the creators of 'Rock Prodigy' to give his legions of fans an entirely NEW way to experience and learn his music. Available just in time for the holidays on iPad, iPhone and iPod Touch, 'Dave Mustaine: Guitar Prodigy' is an interactive application that teaches fans how to play Megadeth songs on ANY guitar. This is what Mustaine had to say about his latest venture, during an interview with Noisecreep.

Why was this important for you to do now, at this stage of your career?

The first thing was, when I was approached by Rock Prodigy, I knew right away that they were the right people for this. How they approached my music, especially how they took such care to get all the transcriptions right - they totally got it. So that was important. But then there's this thing where, as I get older, it's important to me to put stuff like this out there because physically, I don't know how much longer I can do what I do. Physically, things get tougher. I've had surgeries lately; you just know what's gonna happen so this is a way to preserve what I do for the next generation of players.

It allows the teaching to go on forever.

Exactly. That's really important to me. I first started thinking along these lines watching as my sensei became older. He couldn't move in the same way as he had before, and he told me, when your body can't do what it once did, it's okay, you just have to start relying on your mind more.

You like reaching out to young students obviously.

I do now. The Big Four shows really opened things up for in that I saw and heard from so many young players, and they told me how much I'd influenced their playing. That blew me away. You want to think maybe that happened, but when you hear it first hand from so many it sort of inspires you. It did me, anyway.



As a kid, whose app would you have wanted to learn from?

Angus Young for sure , Jimmy Page and probably Michael Schenker. But mostly Jimmy Page. I mean, I always sort of modeled myself as part Jimmy Page, part Robert Plant. I'm not saying I ever close to those guys' levels, but I tried [laughter]. But right now, 'Dave Mustaine: Guitar Prodigy' is really my way of letting fans spend some personal time with me. And I hope a lot of young players - any players for that matter - get to check it out.

NOTE: The app comes with multiple skill levels from beginner to advanced, and even features a leader board to show off top scores. It's an affordable way for a fan to get a one-on-one connection with the artist and to experience the music – by playing the music.

Megadeth's Dave Mustaine Discusses Potential "Gigantour" Lineup!

In a recent interview with 'Street Date', Megadeth's frontman discussed Megadeth's future tour plans for when the band returns from South America (tour-dates below). While no dates have been announced yet, this is what Mustaine had to say about this matter:

"This year coming up we're going to be having us, MOTÖRHEAD, a great band that's coming up called Volbeat and Lacuna Coil."

While it hasn't been confirmed if this will be the lineup for this years "Gigantour", it only makes sense since Mustaine is the creator of "Gigantour". Additionally, Mustaine mentioned during the interview that unless the band gets to tour with Metallica, then Megadeth will only do headlining shows with a solid tour package. Stay tuned for more details.

Don't forget that on November 1st, 2011, Thrash Metal titans Megadeth are releasing their 13th studio album appropriately titled TH1RT3EN via Roadrunner Records.


Facts about TH1RT3EN:

- TH1RT3EN follows up 2009's Endgame, which was one of the most celebrated albums of the pioneering band's storied career.

- Anticipation is high and fans are anxious for a taste of new music from the legends, who have sold over 25 million albums globally throughout the course of their career, and they will get it imminently.

- TH1RT3EN also marks the recorded return of bassist Dave Ellefson who was part of the band's classic lineup from 1983 to 2002. In a move that delighted the band's legion of diehards, Ellefson returned to performing live with Megadeth in early 2010 and has remained a fixture on the stage ever since. This is the first time Ellefson has played on a Megadeth record since 2002's Rude Awakening.

Latin American tour:

11/9 - Buenos Aires, Argentina - Estadio Cubierto Malvinas
11/10 - Estadio Cubierto Malvinas - Buenos Aires, Argentina
11/12 - Maquinaria Festival, Club Hipico - Santiago, Chile
11/14 - SWU Music & Arts Festival - Sao Paulo, Brazil
11/16 - Jose Cuervo Salon - Mexico City, Mexico
11/17 - Jose Cuervo Salon - Mexico City, Mexico
