LEMMY'S NAZI BLUNDER

MOTORHEAD star LEMMY still shudders when he recalls silencing a German audience with an inappropriate joke about the Nazis. The ACE OF SPADES rocker played a gig at the stadium in Nuremburg, where dictator ADOLF HITLER held his infamous Nazi rallies before World War Two started in 1939. And Lemmy thought it would be amusing to liven the crowd up with a cheeky reference to the past - without success. He says, "When we played in Nuremburg in the stadium where Hitler used to make his speeches, the audience were a bit slow, so I said, 'You made more f**king noise than this in 1937.' "That didn't go down well."
