From 10 year olds to 63 year olds, Motörhead Rocks NY

.
Only in the Big Apple.
.

I can hear the reviews now, I went to a Motörhead show... and a School of Rock concert broke out!


Motörhead hit New York City, NYC and took the stage at the Roseland on Wednesday, headlining what can only be described as one weird show.


The group that opened the gig The Episodes, feature band members that aren't even old enough to drive. Honestly.


The lead singer Tommy Gun is ten years old! That's right, 10! They hail from Ohio.

You gotta check the band out on their MySpace home page and listen to some of their tracks. You won't believe the sound coming out of your speakers is that of a kid, that is young enough to be Lemmy's grandson!
.


I mean just look at the faces on the members of the audience. It's like, "Man... are you kiddn' me? Is this real... or a taping of Gene Simmons' Rock School reality show!" Wild!


I also thought I'd throw in some pics of Nashville Pussy & Reverend Horton Heat for your enjoyment.



Here's the Rev.

As for that 63-year old, chain-smokin', Jack drinkin' Rock & Roll icon named Lemmy... ya he was louder than ever!


And then in lies the problem. It seems the majority of people who attended the show were upset with the poor acoustics.

Apparently Roseland sucks for sound, but that's nothing new and most knew that going in. What is new are these pics of Matt Sorum.

All in all, Lemmy put the boots to em', but it sounds like people aren't happy with Matt's performance.


He apparently relies on the same drum fills every song. He's no "Phil-thy" Animal.
