Back in the day…

About 12 years ago at Startrak International Studio, Stoke on Trent. It was a converted terrace house with many leeks, some rate dodgy stairs and the coldest toilet in history. I remember walking past Al Munger taking a s**t when both us and Rise were in and him having to leave the door open to see what he was doing and when visuals would tell you to stop wiping. I loved the XLR - Mic stand - mic all in useable order search! Next door was an Indian restaurant who once complained that plates of curry’s were rumbling off customers tables. A badge of honor for us to hear while loving cheekily that we never had to actually deal with it! Owner Keith charged us almost nothing to rehearse there, let me use his old Peavy PA head as a bass head (which started me off on the love affair.) We had keys to Startrak so we’d play as long as we were sober enough to. We always ran either the set or all the songs we had before sitting down, then we’d iron out any niggles in sections or wrote new endings while still sober-ish, then we’d spend the rest of rehearsal either carving up old songs I now hated (to the dismay of my band mates) - or working on new material- which I had in abundance! Having keys to the practice space meant we could have long chilled breaks, talk about who we’d upset that week, which pub had kicked Hippi (and by default- me as well) out at the weekend, demand Hippi smoke 3 joints, then play the drums properly, catch up, talk though ideas and tone, drink Super Bock, wonder what Frankenstein guitar or endorsement Jim had this week and rehearse unique segments to link songs for an upcoming set. We were loud, and I always remember Keith walking past the bass rig after I’d just plugged in smirking at the tone whist shaking his head knowing that after Jim cranks and Hippi starts building a shed (the greatest compliment to Hippi’s drum style ever - RIP Frank), there’s probably gonna be a complaint- especially when Rise To Thunder were also in the other room! In fact all the early songs had lots of gruff and shouty vocals because the PA was a speaker and a half on sticks and I couldn’t hear if I was singing even close to notes I was playing.

Yes Stoke! We made the same pilgrimage Lemmy, although I’m an adopted Stokie, and I’m not holding out for a statue!

A giant 2.2metre statue of Motorhead's Lemmy will be erected in Burslem as Stoke-on-Trent Council approves plans
