I first saw them on The Tube.It was a heavy metal xmas edition.iggy Pop had been on (heavy metal?) and in my opinion he was shit.Id watched the whole programme (was 15 years old) and was well disappointed.Then Twisted Sister came on (Motorhead was and still is MY band).I thought what the fuck are these.I hated the glam look.Scruffy denims for me!! Then they started playing (obviously helped my cause with Lemmy and Robbo joining them as well).And I never looked back.Aint seen them since they reformed(sorry about that) but im going Download to rectify that mistake.Saw them around 10 times back in the 80's.The first band that graced the back of my denim jacket (although replaced by Motorhead patch a couple of years later).Still one of the best live bands I have ever seen
Forgot to say -I then joined the SMF Friends of TS in 84.The first fan club I joined.I even won a TS tour jacket in a competition in The Sun newspaper.The winning prize was to be flown to see the band perform in New York and meet the band,all expenses paid. |
