I once wrote to Motorhead to try to get sponsorship for a car I was racing. I got a letter back: 'Sorry, Don, the band ain't that rich.'
I saw Hawkwind after Lemmy left once. They weren't anything like the band they were before.
Saw Nik Turner solo too, playing outside a festival and painted completely silver, head to foot. Great sax man. I didn't like his new direction, as I remember - we just walked past.
