Excellent.

99.9% of the people who sweartagawd they've always loved Lemmy never knew who the fuck Lemmy was pre-Airheads. Usually I don't go in for that kind of snobbery, that "oh I liked 'em before you did," but seriously, it's got to be the equivalent of being goth pre- and post-Manson or something.

By the way, the promo music for the trailer is the immortal "Doctor Rock."

That's a song that's near and dear to my philosophical heart. I mean, where the fuck do you think my friends got that nickname?

Jawsome! I missed the Motorhead reference. Honestly, I always figured it came from your PhD program and , well the rock. Then again, there's long been a bent towards higher learning in rock. Paging Doctor Jeep, Doctor Love, and Doctor Feelgood.

Hahahaha, but those other doctors aren't real ones!

But...they played them on TV. Or at least music video, which is KINDA the same thing.

Putting it in that context, I can definitely appreciate it. I never knew that Airheads was the watershed moment, until someone from the site where I found the piece about the docu posted the scene from Airheads.

I don't know if Airheads was the single defining moment, but I do know that by the late 90s there were a shitload more Motorhead fans than there were in the late 80s.

Also, sometime I should tell you my story about how I "acquired" my first Motorhead album.
