Fixed. Also, the band in question features Gene Simmons. However, this is the last I'm saying about Kiss. I'd rather that this thread house discussions about Motorhead, Clutch and Valient Thorr's performances, and not about whether Lemmy, one of the true pioneers of the heavy metal genre may or may not be a dick.

Who'd win in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?

TRICK QUESTION!!! LEMMY IS GOD

Never EVER say that to him. He despises being regarded as a heavy metal influence, despite his influence being obvious throughout the musical movement. Its sorta funny really!

Yeah I know, he regards heavy metal as slow and boring.

I wish I could agree with ya but this guy talks out of his ass and his hater tactics are becoming annoying. Can't think of anything more sellout than this:

I always thought Lemmy was cool but never thought their music was great outside of 4 or 5 songs. 24 years and 5 great songs isn't an impressive ratio. I'd take God of Thunder, She & Black Diamond over any 3 Motorhead songs personally. Ace of Spades, Iron Fist & Killed by Death are great songs but I have a hard time picking 4 and 5.

Agreed, add Overkill to that list...and yeah Kiss has 8-10 classics while Motorhead has a couple. Just being honest.

You saved me the trouble of doing this. I was wondering what Clutchs set was, since I didn't hear a lot of songs I knew, which was disappointing.

He might not like the moniker "Heavy Metal" for Motörhead, but do you honestly think that he doesn't know that 99% of the metalbands out there where influenced by his little band?

Actually, Motörhead was founded at the end of the seventies.
