    Watched up until about 12:45 ish

    But the funniest comment was the bit they said in the Swindon Advertiser "Motörhead concert in doubt, due to the death of Lemmy"

    I went to their site and searched Lemmy and its there! But they changed the wording in the link. And we take the piss out of the EP <laugh>

    Great stories, his son Pauls was really moving and had humour. I missed the name of the Jadas Priest speaker was it Rob Halford?

    Bet the Rainbow Bar and Grill now becomes a visiting site going forward now

    Who would have thought the Swindon Advertiser would ever be heard outside of Swindle !??

    Yes, the Judas Priest singer is now Rob Halford. I forget who the original guy was from the Breaking The Law era.

    The Rainbow has been a watering hole for the rich and famous for decades, along with The Roxy and the Whisky A Go-Go all of which are apparently within a stones throw of each other.
    You can see a little footage of The Rainbow in the Guns n' Roses video for the track November Rain.

    As the legend goes, the Rainbow owner had a plaque on a bar seat advising people it was Lemmy's and was reserved for him while he played his Poker video machine at the bar. How cool is that ?

    I though the service for Lemmy was both touching and funny and they did a good job of providing a fitting send off for him, Having been out in Bedminster during the day I decided to drink Jack Daniels Tennessee Honey during the service and yesterday I suffered the worst hangover I've had for many many years,

    Lemmy would have approved I'm sure, although he always stated, and correctly so, that to get a hangover, you have to stop drinking first !

    It was Rob Halford who sang Breaking the Law, he also wrote it.

    I did google it to find out mind <whistle>

    They are not one of my favourite bands tbh and I don't know very much about them. All I had heard is that Rob Halford isn't the original singer...
