Some favorite quotes of mine from Motorhead

I don't know if the other person in the band who's making comments to the crowd is guitarist Phil Campbell or Drummer Mikkey Dee, but I have a hunch it's Phil. Anyways, these are from their live album "Everything Louder Than Everyone Else", which was recorded in Hamburg, Germany in 1998 (and released the folowing year).

1) *after playing 'On Your Feet Or On Your Knees'*
Lemmy: Tonight, we are recording a live album, *audience cheers louder*so you gotta make a lot of (bleep)ing noise unless people think we're unpopular! Hamburg! *audience cheers even louder* Hamburg!! *louder still* HAM-BURG!! *loud as they can get* Thank you! Excellent! (bleep)ing hard.

2) *right after playing 'Metropolis'*
Lemmy: Okay, moving right along!
Phil: Thank you! Cheers!
Lemmy: Cheers! (Then says "Cheers!" in German, to the delight of the crowd)
Phil: Are there any alcoholics here tonight?
Lemmy: Huh? Somebody broke? This next one is, uh... oh! Alcoholics! Are there any alcoholics here? *good portion of the audience cheers* Welcome home! laugh
Lemmy: Actually, we're not alcoholics. We just like it, socially.

3) *after playing 'The Chase is Better Than the Catch'*
Lemmy: *crowd starts chanting "Motorhead!"* How true. This one's a really fast song. No, no, really! Don't dance to this, you'll (bleep) yourselves up! laugh

"We'll be together 'til we *bleep*ing well die, I'm sure!"

It was in Wembley, 1984, right before they would sing a new song, "who wants, to live... for... ever" hahahahahaha I have the cd

This quote from Alice in Wonderland could very well serve as a warning to those that wander into SYM ...

"But I don't want to go among mad people," Alice remarked.
"Oh, you can't help that," said the Cat: "We're all mad here. I'm mad. You're mad."
"How do you know I'm mad?" said Alice.
"You must be," said the Cat, "or you wouldn't have come here."



And another one with the Cheshire Cat:
"... thought Alice, and she went on. "Would you tell me, please, which way I ought to go from here?"
"That depends a good deal on where you want to get to," said the Cat.
"I don't much care where –" said Alice.
"Then it doesn't matter which way you go," said the Cat.
"– so long as I get somewhere," Alice added as an explanation.
"Oh, you're sure to do that," said the Cat, "if you only walk long enough."

"There are no failings. There are only appreciated and unappreciated talents." -- Guess Who?

Americans have long been driven by two deep longings. The first is to be left alone. The second is to tell other people what to do. On most moral issues—abortion, porn, video games, alcohol, tobacco, guns—the easiest way out is to inflict our piety on minors. All the righteous satisfaction, none of the libertarian backlash. Great taste, less filling.

"I was happy, but happy was an adult word. You don't need to ask a child if they are happy; you could see it. Adults talk about being happy largely because they are not." -Henri, in Jeanette Winterson's The Passion (the quote isn't exact since I don't have the book right in front of me, but it was my favorite line in the whole book)

"The use of intoxicants is one of the distinguishing marks of the higher types and races of humanity." -Winston Churchill (Stole this from Denethorn's signature )

I was gonna look for Churchill's quote on democracy, but that'd take too much effort for this time of the morning. :laugh:

I wanted to post Douglas Adams' view on a puddle sitting in a hole in the ground, reflecting upon how perfectly it seems to fit in the hole

Peter: I'll handle it, Lois. I read a book about this sort of thing once.
Brian: Are you sure it was a book? Are you sure it wasn't nothing?
Peter: Oh yeah.

The individual has always had to struggle to keep from being overwhelmed by the tribe. If you try it, you will be lonely often, and sometimes frightened. But no price is too high to pay for the privilege of owning yourself.

“If you tell a lie big enough and keep repeating it, people will eventually come to believe it. The lie can be maintained only for such time as the State can shield the people from the political, economic and/or military consequences of the lie. It thus becomes vitally important for the State to use all of its powers to repress dissent, for the truth is the mortal enemy of the lie, and thus by extension, the truth is the greatest enemy of the State.”

No, not Carl Rove, but Joseph Goebbels, the first modern master of media control. But the parallels to the contemporary US are both eerie and deadon accurate.

"All our loves have to die
of that there's no help.
But my favorite way to end them
is the orb weaver spider whose pedipalp
enters the females pudendum.
Then he dies on the spot his corpse there still stuck
left for his rivals to curse at.
He would rather die than not get to ----
and personally I reckon its worth it"

This quote had me laughing like crazy when I first saw it in Call of Duty 2 and when Adam Sessler of X-Play mentioned it in his review of Battlefield 2. Also my previous signature.

Another one also from Call of Duty 2:
"When you have to kill a man, it costs nothing to be polite." -Winston Churchill

"Most men have bound their eyes with one or another handkerchief, and attached themselves to...communities of opinion. This conformity makes them not false in a few particulars, authors of a few lies, but false in all particulars. Their every truth is not quite true. Their two is not the real two, their four not the real four: so that every word they say chagrins us and we know not where to begin to set them right." -Ralph Waldo Emerson
