Motorhead's Motorboat: Slayer To Perform On Ship's Deck Stage Under A Blood Moon
Sunday, June 14, 2015 at 12:01AM
Guests on the second annual Motörhead's Motörboat will experience once-in-a-lifetime events with two ultimate heavy metal icons.
On the first night of the cruise, one of the most heavy metal moments of all time will occur when headliners Slayer perform outside on the deck stage of Norwegian Sky under a red blood moon. September 28 at 10:47 PM Eastern Time marks the fourth and final lunar eclipse (sometimes referred to as a “blood moon”) of the current lunar tetrad (a series of four consecutive lunar eclipses with six full moons in between). It is one of only eight tetrads during the 21st century. Some believe this occurrence is a fulfillment of the “Blood Moon Prophecy” and signals “The Rapture,” as described in the Bible in Acts 2:20 and Revelation 6:12. Few bands come close to matching the intensity that Slayer brings to its live shows, with songs that mirror the turmoil and aberrations of our society, so the performance could not be more apt.
In the spirit of the evening, while waiting to see if the “end of the world” prophecy comes true, guests will celebrate “Blood Red Night” by donning something crimson, while enjoying Slayer’s intense performance during this rare astrological phenomenon.
Later in the week (Thursday, October 1), Motörboat guests will celebrate 40 years of the world’s biggest and baddest rock & roll band of all time--along with the release of Motörhead’s 22nd studio album, Bad Magic (due out August 28 on UDR Music/Motörhead Music)--during Motörhead’s 40thAnniversary Bash. Since imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, guests will be invited to dress in their Motörhead best, or even as Lemmy, Phil orMikkey themselves, while enjoying cake, libations, and of course lots of heavy music in honor of the rock legends.
Motörhead founder Lemmy Kilmister says, "40 years of Motörhead will be celebrated aboard the Motörboat, so boys and girls, you know what THAT means, right? There won't be a dry throat in the house!”
Motörhead's Motörboat--fueled by Monster Energy--will embark on its second voyage from Port Miami September 28 on Norwegian Sky, with stops in Nassau and the private picturesque island of Great Stirrup Cay in The Bahamas before returning to Miami on October 2.

Sounds like this would be a great event. Some interesting bands and some I have never heard of so can't comment on (Buttersides? The Dead Dead?). And they are getting some dual dipping out of Slayer/Exodus and Motorhead/Phil Campbell's All Starr Band. The "blood moon" angle is good publicity too. One must assume Araya will be doing a few more rounds of the rosary prior to the performance! King? The usual: muscle man poses in front of the small mirror.
Fast fact: once saw Posehn waddling through the Spokane Airport, fishing hat atop his head, looking like he no idea where he was or how he got there. Didn't see a single person (other than myself) who knew who he was. The guy is a funny comic, and great on The Sarah Silverman Show and Just Shoot Me.
Are any regular readers going?
Just great, straight ahead, high intensity Hard Rockin' Metal!
Notice I said "ROCKIN'!", something none of these other "Metal" bands on here are, except maybe Fireball Ministry. The rest are UNROCK!!!
Ace! Why in hell did you have to mention Lemmy in Daisy Dukes! At first I thought, no way!... Maybe Ace has been bullsh*ting us all along with some of this stuff... I mean, c'mon! Seriously? Lemmy in Cowboy Boots & Daisy Dukes?! No f*ckin' way! Surely, Lemmy wouldn't be caught dead in such a get up!...
But, no, I just couldn't resist! I just had to go to Google Images and... Aaaahhhhhh!!! No! No! My eyes! My eyes! I strongly urge everyone! Whatever you do... Don't look!!! Don't look!
It's not pretty, is it?
