Didn't get around to seeing them until '98.
Even through the earplugs, my ears were ringing the next day.

QuoteScientists have named a fearsome prehistoric crocodile after Motörhead frontman Lemmy.
Lemmysuchus obtusidens lived around 164 million years ago during the Middle Jurassic Period and was a member of an extinct group of marine crocodile relatives called teleosaurs.
'With a metre-long skull and a total length of 5.8 metres, it would have been one of the biggest coastal predators of its time,' says University of Edinburgh palaeontologist Michela Johnson, who helped to untangle the identity of Lemmysuchus.
The specimen, housed in the Museum, was dug up by collectors in the early twentieth century from a clay pit quarry near Peterborough, Cambridgeshire. However, it was incorrectly categorised with the remains of other sea crocodiles found in the same location.
In a study published in the Zoological Journal of the Linnean Society, an international team of scientists took a fresh look at the fossil skeleton and gave it a new classification and scientific name.

I was reading a book about progressive rock and found this pretty interesting regarding pre-ELP Keith Emerson when he was still in The Nice:
Quote
Emerson, still fooling with the Hammond, realized that a flat object, if wedged between the keys, could hold them down, playing notes that grew more and more distorted even as Emerson played another instrument. Emerson used spoons at first, then knives. One Nice roadie, Emerson remembered in his memoir, "had a great collection of German army knives and gave me two Hitler Youth daggers, saying, 'Beats the shit out of the British Boy Scouts. If you're gonna use one, use a serious one.' " The roadie's name was Lemmy Kilmister.
