The webmaster, north Bucks:
I wanted to see just if the Loudest Band In the World tag held
true as well as wanting to see Motorhead do some fine stuff. I also
decided it would be dead clever (along with a mate) to stand in front of
the PA with my head practically resting inside one of the cabinets in the
hope I would actually be deafened. I was disappointed this didn’t happen
(although ears my rang like hell afterwards) and that The Clash earlier in
1980 were even louder.
Also if I hadn’t have been standing in such a stupid place (I was
unlucky though), I may not have been hit by flying shrapnel from the
initial explosion of their Bomber lighting rig. I thought I was imagining
it until I sat in the bar and felt a lump on my head which by the end of
the evening started to resemble an egg. We didn’t have compensation
culture in those days…..not that I would have, it’s not the way we thought
then! |
