That was cool! but there are always some bozos that have to be heard. If you want to be heard go join a band and have people pay to hear you. Don't take advantage of a moment of silence to yell whoooo! What kind of life do people have that they must feel the need to do this?

You know, this kind of honesty and respect are just some of the traits that make Lemmy a turly class act. Lemmy has made his eternal mark by his over 30 year career, always faithful to himself, his fans and anyone who supports him. Lemmy deserves everything good in his life, this homage is just a one glimpse to his good persona and soul.
After this any anti-Nazi zealots can stuff their stupid prejudiced attitudes deep into their asses! Lemmy is a real gentleman and can collect as many Third Reich items and wear as many Schutzstafeln caps as he pleases!!! It's not about the material that surrounds us, it's all about the spirit.
Lemmy = one of the gods of rock

Funny how Lemmy does this when he doesn't believe in anything, but God bless him anyways.

a minute of silence is pointless, at a metal concert it's retarded

Vest-Agder, Norway, county containing Kvinesdal.
Motörhead in 2005. The band paid tribute to the victims before their performance at Norway Rock Festival.
Further details have emerged on the deaths of two people at the annual Norway Rock Festival in Kvinesdal. Eight other people were rescued unconscious from a bus at the site. Meanwhile, it has been reported that British heavy metal band Motörhead opened their performance at the festival with a minute's silence for the deceased.

The names of those killed have now been released. They are Terje Brueland, 32, and Anita Wathne, 31. As reported earlier, they were an unmarried couple and left behind three children. It is believed that the accident occurred due to carbon monoxide poisoning.

The police investigation has uncovered that the double-decker bus had been converted into a motorhome. Electricity was supplied by way of a generator, which was placed inside a locked compartment on the vehicle. Police believe that fumes from the generator leaked inside without anyone noticing, as carbon monoxide is odourless and colourless.

The problem was discovered at 2 p.m. Saturday by friends who had gone to the bus to check up on those inside. Five of the eight survivors were taken to hospital in Stavanger and two to Oslo's Ullevål University Hospital. Three remain in serious but stable condition, while two have been released.

The two killed in the bus came from Oltedal in Rogaland County, where they are reported to have a large family who are looking after their children along with friends.

The festival lasted three days and drew crowds of 5-6,000 people.
