FU Rolling Stone

I was expecting a little more than just another article. Instead what does a guy get after thirty years as mastermind, lead singer and all-around bad ass of one of the greatest bands of all time?

Did I mention 20 plus albums, countless tours and appearances... and you're considered by other musicians as a living legend, a man who inspired everyone who is anyone to grab a guitar and start a band! You get another frickn' by-line. That's it!

I'm sorry... ya, I was expecting a COVER!

I mean, what the f#%k does Lemmy have to do to get some respect from the American music industry. 'Madonna Looks Back'... this is fu%kn' bull$hit! I can't even begin to describe how pi$$ed I am!

Oh right, it's not about the music any more... it's about the money.

I have a message to Jann S. Wenner (RS creator) and all the folks at Rolling Stone, the magazine and website.

To the writers, editors, management, sales people, web people, front office staff...

to the mail room boys/girls, staff photographers, copy people, secretaries and anyone else who works for the piece-of-$hit rag... FU!

Yes you!

RS news blog posted a Q&A titled: 'Vampire of The Sunset Strip'. I'm not going to link to it because it's $hit.

I do however, want to see more photos like the one above. As I mentioned in a previous post (refer to On the Cuv of The Rolling Stone) Pep Bonet was commissioned to shoot the band and spent a few months on tour snapping pic after pic (it's a link to just a few of them).

As for Lemmy, I know he doesn't give a $hit what other people say or think about him. His reputation and tenure speak for themselves... loud and clear! Check my post entitled 'Put Lemmy in The R&R Hall of Fame'.

To Lem, 'Don't Let Em' get You Down'. To all the others... 'Die You Bastard'!

A Post Of Posters

Check it.. some wild artwork by Tomahawks Works. These posters were lifted from his flickr photostream. This first one is awesome!

I haven't seen much artwork for the Motörizer album/CD, but this imagery hits the nail on the head for me. An out of control fuel tanker truck, with a Snaggletöoth styled grille and bush guard, tank ablaze and she's screamin' down the highway. T-Shirt material I say!

As for concert posters, he uploaded a couple for our viewing enjoyment.

..

Here's one he did for the Black Label Society.



This poster was inked for a Motörhead concert dated Sept. 23 at the Pageant. It features (I presume), Wild Bill Hickock with his now infamous 'Dead Mans Hand'.

Although, his illustration is far from accurate. Wild Bill was shot in the back of the head with a 45 by Jack McCall.

In other words, the exit wound certainly wouldn't look like the one in the poster. Still... it's a pretty cool piece of work!

I came across this comic strip on scaryforkids.com. The story that goes along with it is worth checking out. It describes the order with which the cards must be dealt for the hand to work! Uh huh... scary!

Mon Amie Den of Sporty

The good folks over at Den of Sporty posted these snaps praising the Japanese bike culture and urges support for the Japanese Chopper/Sportster scene.

With these SIC lookin' builds, who wouldn't want to send them a "Hell Ya"!

Check these awesome bars on this scoot. That's tight!



All it needs now (in my HO) is a hard tail conversion. Otherwise, perfection!

Love the chopped tank and up sweep pipes! Bobbers on a budget... boy that sounds familiar.

First it was the import tuner market, it looks like the Sporty is next. Sweet... bring it!
