Motörhead and Clutch at House of Blues in Boston, Tuesday March 1, 2011
There are few givens in this world, but one is that Lemmy Kilmister will throw his intricately carved Rickenbacker bass over his shoulder, dress head to toe in black, and with a voice reminiscent of someone who gargled flaming thumbtacks chased with kerosene, kick off their set by stating "Hello, we're Motörhead, and we play rock 'n' roll."
The next ninety or so minutes will be filled with outrageously loud (and good) rock, bridging the worlds between early punk, metal, and biker scuzz rock. It will be a glorious evening, and everyone will go home with grins and pounded ear drums.
And so Lemmy has decreed it to be, in all perpetuity.
The young man leaning on the leather coat in this picture was plucked from the crowd and sent up on stage per order of Phil Cambell (Motorhead). I saw the whole thing go down as I was front row center, I was the fourth person down from girl in green shirt. Anyway the kid had a great show from stage right it was rough down front as I had a couple bruised ribs but well worth it and Hats off to Phil for getting that kid out of there and showing him a time he will never forget, Awesome!!!!

That's awesome that Phil did that. The guy (I assume his dad) looked like he was trying his best to keep him from getting crushed.
