Sorry for the dealy but my PC was out of order... ;D
PULA, Croatia, bikerdays 27.7.02 - Hammerd World Tour
I had an appointment with my friend Miki at the airport of Milan, then we drove eight hours east until Pula. Driving from Slovenia nearly to Pula we have covered the most dangerous road that we have ever seen. We have seen plenty of crosses and flowers everywhere and in one hour time we have seen three cars going off road.
We have arrived at the Bikerdays at 4:30 and have noticed the disorder around. Especially too many people backstage, it was full of Hell’s Angels with baseball maces, something ridicule.
Unfortunately the band have arrived only at 10:30 and the concert begun at half past midnight and (with much delay). We have tried to meet the band but we were told that they were a lot tires, probably were still recovering from the show in Belgrade (the day before).
Lemmy got on stage with black shoes, it was the first time I saw him like this. Mikkey played with a new drum kit, deep electric blue in color. Former Yugoslavia suffered the bad times that all we know and Motorhead didn’t have the chance to tour. The last show was in Moskajnci (Slovenia) three years ago but the fans in Croatia and Serbia/Montenegro had to wait for much more, twelve years.
Lemmy announces the concert: “It’s a long time since we’ve been to Croatia, but here we are! We Are Motorhead and we’re gonna kick your ass!”.
Set list:
We Are Motorhead
No Class
Bomber
Civil War
Damage Case
Love For Sale
God Save The Queen
Brave New World
Metropolis
Nothing Up My Sleeve
Doctor Rock
Ramones
Shoot You In The Back
Sacrifice plus drum solo
Orgasmatron
Going To Brazil
Killed By Death
Iron Fist
Ace Of Spades
Overkill
The concert has been a success, seems that they improve with passing of time, like the wine. They seemed more aggressive than usual toward their instruments. I think that has been the better concert I have attended.
The crowd was OK (approximately 12000 people) and I have been allowed to see the whole show downstage.
After the concert nobody is successful to meet Mikkey, as soon as he goes off stage goes to the hotel to have a rest. Me and Miki asked kindly to meet Phil but they told us that he kindly answered fuck off (!).
But ten seconds later Freddie told us he was jocking and that we could enter. But the chat has been short, even Phil was tired and in two minutes run away. We had better luck later because Lemmy, it was almost 3:00, has returned. We sat at this table with him approximately 15 minutes but time seemed to fly away. Lemmy is aabsolutely unforeseeable, pleasant and rich in spirit (no, I am not referring to the Jack Daniels that he was drinking all the time). Most of my interest in meeting him was for having the chance to observe him, his carisma is exceptional, only his presence was sufficient to fill the room. If someone would ask me what is rock’n’roll I would answer that rock’n’roll is Lemmy.
We have spoken about various things until I made him a special question: “do you have a song which you consider your masterpiece. I did this question as quiz on two Yahoo! clubs, thanks for your e-mails guys. Many of you answered Orgasmatron but none of you guessed right. Here I write what he answered to me (sorry for any mistake):
“Maybe you won’t believe me but I think is March Or Die, the lyric in particular appeals me a lot”.
Time to go, we were very tired but happy. Arrivederci – see you again soon!

. In 2002, in Pula (Croatia), everyone were there (except from serbia fans maybe because they had show day before), thats why it was 12.000 die hard fans. And some people (who had money) didnt wait 10 years (from 1990 to 1999) they were at shows in europe... but i know what you meant. This show and in Moskanjci (1999) were two best shows what I saw. In Moskanjci, it was exactly like when you listen "Everything Louder Than Everyone Else" album. That was my first Motorhead show, I remember I had to seat down on grass (it was open air show) after concert or I would drop down right away. I never felt like that again on any Motorhead show or any other. And this was not my first concert. I was watching Motorhead 4 times open air and 2 times indoors. I like open air more.
