This a short review of Motorheadache at the Yorkshire Rock & Bike show last August.

"As we arrived in the persistent and heavy rain, I thought I saw Lemmy up on stage. The look, the gruff vocals, the Rickenbacker bass, the "burns" and "tash" the cowboy hat was pure Lemmy. It was actually Motorheadache, and what a great band they are. Musically they are very authentic and "Lemmy" is too, right down to the speaking voice. I loved it! Finishing with Ace of Spades...what else, the substantial sized crowd ignored the rain and sent the band off in great style".

This a review of a gig at the "The Office", South Shields,12 December 2003 by Colin Smoult, with accompanying pics.

"For Friday it was back to the Office and at last I got to see a group I'd been anticipating watching for many months. Motorheadache are a Motorhead tribute band (bet the name gave it away), and had come all the way from Sheffield to play this gig.

Motorheadache took to the stage and then began their aural assault on the audience with the current 'real' Motorhead opening live song, 'We Are Motorhead'. The sound was excellent and incredibly authentic. Their lead guitarist was probably better than Fast Eddie ever was and easily as good as the current Motorhead guitarist, Phil Campbell. The drummer did a solid job too, although technically he was closer to Philthy Animal than present sticksman, Mickey Dee.

But without doubt this was the 'Lemmy' show! Not only did he look like him (mutton chop sideburns and beard), play like him, move like him, and sing like him… but also he even 'talked' just like him between the songs. The homework this guy had put in to his performance was unbelievable. Rob the main-man simply has to be 'THE' most authentic frontman that I've ever seen in a tribute band (including Wayne from Limehouse Lizzy).

For this night he was Lemmy through and through, and he did a superb job. The set was far superior than the real Motorhead's own live set, as the majority of it included all the classic tracks from the first few albums. A really excellent set that even included 'Breaking The Law', 'Highway To Hell' and Led Zep's 'RocknRoll' for a bit of variety, Motorheadache are a brilliant band, and I will have them back here to play again".
