| In '99 there was a lot of excitement, anticipation. The gig was at a (usually) country bar called Cowboys in the west end. As I recall, the place was packed. Lemmy & Co were a bit late getting on stage; I think they ran into some sort of trouble - someone help me out here. The only merch they were able to haul out were zippo lighters with the Motorhead logo. June 2/2000: This time the gig was at a bigger venue - the Agricom. And they brought more merch with them. A decent gig, although Lemmy apologized to the crowd partway through for the sound (feedback). 2005:On tour to support 'Inferno', imho one of their best works. Venue: Red's in WEM. They even played "Whorehouse Blues", an acoustic number. A solid gig. C.O.C & 3 Inches of Blood opened. In light of Lemmy's passing, please feel free to leave comments re:memories of meeting the man, gigs, etc. R.I.P Lemmy |

This was an amazing gig. They always played the Priest set first, followed by the Maiden. This was 'cos the Maiden was more challenging to play, vocally & musically. At this point in time, the band was tight, real tight. I think local k97 radio personality Melissa Wright was even present that night. The band really rolled out the production with scaffolding, etc. The drumkit was on a platform 20 ft above the stage! Unfortunately, this was to be Tyrant's final gig. Woe, alas. Comments? Recollections?BTW, the 2 videos below are from a gig @ Reds in West Edmonton Mall on Nov 20/2004.
