Well if Lemmy is cooler than you Uli, I had better watch it because you are obviously very cool.  :)

That's nice, but I guess the internet makes me much cooler than I am...  :-[  ;)

Just watched the Lemmy film.

It was ok I suppose. Never been a Motorhead fan and never will be, even though I don't dislike the music. Lemmy tells great stories, but I've always found his penchant for Nazi paraphernalia more than a little disturbing.

Won't be watching the Hawkwind documentary as I've seen it before.

There's a finite limit to how often I can stomach seeing Nick Kent in a beanie hat and a vest...

I like a little Motorhead, but what I really love is the Lemmy / Simon King period of Hawkwind - what a powerful rhythm section. If you've ever heard "Space Ritual" you can easily see why they were such a huge influence on so many punk bands. Lemmy still plays a lot of bass like he was playing rhythm guitar.

Have to agree with you about Nick Kent though - what was he wearing/thinking?

Had to watch "Do Not Panic" again this morning as it is a cracking and entertaining film - despite Nick Kent!

My favourite Hawkwind albums are the ones they made with Robert Calvert. I think he was a great poet & showman & is sadly missed. The Space Ritual / Urban Guerilla period & Astounding Sounds, Quark, PXR5 & Hawlkords albums are the best in my opinion.
Hall of the Mountain Grill & Warrior on the Edge of Time are also very good. The violin of Simon House add a special feel to the above albums.

My favourite is 'Captain Lockheed & The Star Fighters'.

Yes a great album. Technically a solo album but I think most of Hawkwind played some part in it.

Some of the between track dialogue is quite funny I think. The songs Right Stuff & Ejection went on to become Hawkwind live faves, even after Calvert had left the band. Well, I say left the band, but the band actually left him. Kris Taits book This is Hawkwind-Do Not Panic describes how they frantically drove away from their hotel with Calvert chasing after them. Heh heh he was a character

I watched the Lemmy movie over the Christmas break which I enjoyed but have to agree the Nazi stuff is very dodgy in my book, also I am not sure about sharing women with your son....

I see as well that Motörhead Shiraz has now been joined by Motörhead Vodka; a "premium, 80 proof Vodka...with a rich, full-bodied and complex character, with a light and fruity aftertaste".

Mind you I guess TV has those various real ales from Ellen...
