When Txus di Fellatio (Mägo de Oz) and Óscar Sancho (Lujuria) met Lemmy Kilmister (Motörhead): the story behind the photo

In the middle of this month that we are leaving behind, we echoed the publication of social networks of Óscar lust in which he showed the photographs of the trips he made in the late 80s and early 90s to visit international festivals such as thelegendary monsters of rock that were held in Donington Park, England.Photographs that also showed the beginnings of the long friendship that unites Óscar and Txus di Fellatio, the leader of Mägo de Oz, who also joined these long and rocker expeditions expeditions.

A few days later, we published the image in which the two protagonists posed with the great Lemmy Kilmister, accompanied by Julito, the one who was a lust guitarist, and another travel companion, Charly, as both Óscar and Txus have told us when we haveoffered his memories of this image captured in 1988.For the whiteness of the wall, it looks like the interior of the London local st.Moritz, although Oscar's memory has always kept that episode occurred in the near and already missing The Intrepid Fox.

"Sometimes it is interesting that memories are as one accommodates them over time," Oscar begins to count on the location in which the photograph was taken."All our life we have told that it was at Intrepid Fox, but it seems that it is in the ST.Moritz, the difference for what they have told me is two hundred meters from one to another ".

What we do know with certainty, thanks to Di Fellatio, is when it was taken: "It was in the Donington of 1988, I was 18 years old, it was the first time I was traveling outside Spain, that my parents left me because I had been all year longGiving the tabarra with which I wanted to go see Iron Maiden to that festival.I was Hyperfanatic of Iron Maiden, the whole room had her full of posters with all the albums of Iron Maiden, and my parents, curiously and before my surprise, let me go ".

The lust singer puts us in a situation: "All this comes from the end of the 80s, and even something of the 90s.I think I remember that we were about five consecutive years to Donington.We went a year with Mariano García, we went with heavy/rock, who I think then was riding with Mario Scasso, or I was separately, do not make me much case much case.It was when we were going with the famous bus "The Red Dragon", a two -story bus that flipped it.I also remember a year to go with the pirate ... or not ... the truth is that I do not remember well who was going.Yes, I remember going with Mario Scasso, because with him we had an accident once, that gives for another episode, because it was a lot of fun, the truth.For five consecutive years we were, although one of those years we did not go to Donington, because it was suspended, which was the year two kids died in an avalanche at the Guns N 'Roses concert and the following year the Monsters ofRock.We went to another who was Milton Keynes, who was also very good, although it was not Donington ".

Txus points out without losing sight of the photo with Lemmy: "You were five times, I have only been two.I went to Donington from 88 and the following year to Milton Keynes, who was also with you and with Mario Scasso.Then, later, I went to Donington de I don't know what year, on the 'Fear of the Dark' tour.But that photo is 88, because there I was starting to leave long hair, I was 18 years old.We traveled on a more or less shabby bus, and this was organized by Mario Scasso.It was many hours until we finally arrived in Paris, there we made a little break.Then we were in Amsterdam, that some of the photos I have seen that you have published are from Amsterdam, in front of the Red Barrio, that it is not necessary that you know much to guess what we did there some kids girls with paste in the pocket.Then, from there, we took a ferry and went to England, and there I don't know if we were a couple of nights before traveling to Donington ".

Oscar remembers what the friendships were like in those years without the Internet: "What we were doing was that, throughout the year, we wrote letters, and we had the landlines of the house, that's why we talked a lot of txus of his mother and me of mine, mine, mine,Because many times, when we called ourselves, it was our mothers who: "Your friend, the txus, from Madrid ..." my mother already knew.And if I called his house: "Txus! Your friend Óscar".So, or we called ourselves on the phone or we sent ourselves, telling us the plans, how much we had saved, because we wantedof dolls, of all ".

The lust singer also has good memories of Holland."Each trip was evolving.We stopped in Paris, another in Amsterdam, which in Amsterdam every year more days were requested, you all know why, why explain it ”.But it is in the English capital where they threw the rest.“The stays in London were one day or two, it does not seem to me that it was much more.We were surprised what a Spaniard find.In addition, they had a bell and when they were missing a few minutes, and if you wanted you to drink it from a drink or ask for another running or whatever, because at eleven chapaban.And Txus, who was always a bit the leader of all that, and has always been the eternal Juerguista who is, had the theory of: "Juerga must.In all places drinks are taken to the many, do not fuck me "".

The battery continues to enter detail: "You know how England is, there from I don't know what time it was, ten or eleven, a bell sounds in all pubs and they no longer sell you alcohol.I told Oscar and Julito and Charly, a super nice kid, super nice that is also in the photo: "There must be something safe open.The English cannot be at home with a glass of milk, do not fuck me ".And we got into a few rare slums, which did not become a whore, but they were very rare.They took our kids all the money, threw us out, and then we were going around, that they wanted to go to the hotel, and I: "Come on, you don't fuck me, let's look for there to have to be something open".And we end at Intrepid Fox ".

The Segovian also has fresh the memory of how they tangled the pasta: "We did not give any garito, but with a kind of ... I would not describe it as a whore, but a strange club, in the Soho London, in some alleyways,That was open and there we entered ... well that, young men, lined with pasta, and received us spectacular aunts.They took us all the pasta they wanted, none could do anything, so I say that Picticub was not, and as a drink ... I remember that perfectly, a glass of plastic like those that give you in the hospital with the pills, of that size,With a culín of some liquor, that to know what it was, that we looked at each other with a face of silly ... an aunt came out and made a dance, and when they finished they threw us into the fucking street and it ended.No one wanted to repeat the experience of finding out what London night was except one, which of course was Txus: "Here you have to have drinks, here there must be garitos" ".

This is where Sancho is confused the memories: "Then we discovered a garito that was the Intrepid Fox, so we have always told that this photo was at the Intrepid Fox.It cost five pounds to enter, it was not entered as well as, I had a host march, it was heavy ... for what they have told me is that the ST.Moritz is next to and more or less wore the same roll too, and there were live performances, or live performances were at the ST.Moritz ... I can't assure you what garito was ".

The place in which it happened is not clear, but both coincide in all the details about the encounter with Lemmy.Txus takes up the story we had left at the Intrepid Fox: "There we were taking it, and in the ST.Moritz, who is next to him, what I don't remember is in which of the garitos was, suddenly: "Pussy, the one that is there in the background ... isn't Lemmy?"And the uncle was with two huge jugs, one with vodka with orange, more vodka than orange, and the other full of pound coins ".

Óscar, great defender of vodka, follows the story: "That I know that I have always defended the vodka with orange, it was vodka with orange, really, because we go, that does not forget me.And the uncle was coming to throw coins on the machine, which almost emptied the jug until he touched the prize, which were his own currencies, but the uncle picked them up, returned to throw them into the jug and kept playing ".

"We do not miss the opportunity to take a picture with Lemmy," Txus continues to remember before Oscar recovers the phrase of the Motörhead leader who goes on to swell his legend: "We flip us when we saw him and I think we dared to ask:"Well, here where is the fun ".And he, laughing, told us: "Fun is to keep drinking".That, the photo and little else is what we could enjoy with the god of rock ".

"We all liked the sound of the band," Txus tells us."We have always been very fanatical of the Motör, in fact, with the passing of the years, every time Motörhead came to the Riviera, I was left with Óscar and Julito, maybe had spent ten years, but we took the closet the closetBullet belt, leather vests and hala, to see the Motör, it was like a ritual.The truth is that they were very cool times.With that age, with 18 years, just two months before going to Donington had set up Mägo de Oz.I played football, I dedicated me semi-professional to football, neither smoked nor anything, and on that trip I smoked everything, and tried absolutely everything, it was a kind of discovering the world ".

The leader of Mägo de Oz is in charge of finishing history: "Julito, Óscar and I have had a friendship of more than twenty years, and thirty, we have aged together.Oscar still keeps his hair, I don't, but the truth is that we still keep that smile when we see each other and that complicity, and they are cool photos, what happens is that it gives you a little nostalgia and penalty of seeing the fastWhat happens time and how easy we get older.It was a trip in which I discovered the dark side of life, rock, the night ... Anyway, it was a time when I wanted to experiment ".

The drums continue to remember those festivals, strongly linked to his love for Iron Maiden, but they provided him with more joys: "In that same donington of 1988 it was when Helloween played, which I was flipped, and Maiden was presenting the 'seventh they are of a of aSeventh are '.Two kids died while playing a Los Angeles band that left me flipped, because they were super macarras, some Guns N 'Roses.The following year could not do Donington, because they put fines, and we went to Milton Keynes, who were Bon Jovi, Aerosmith ... I returned to Donington to see Iron Maiden with the 'Fear of the Dark'.I liked it a lot when I was young to go to festivals ".

It is difficult to imagine Txus on his first trip outside of Spain, when crossing the Atlantic has already become natural with each new Mägo de Oz tour, such as 'Black Flag', which recently confirmed to reach a total of 66 datesfor now.Mägo de Oz will resume the tour on February 9 in LojAfter what the band will return to Spain with the first concert of April, which will be held on the 8th in Malaga, the first of the twenty -two dates they will offer at the time in our country, including double appointments in Madrid and Barcelona.

The excellent results obtained by Mägo de Oz in the Heavy Rockferéndum have led to a new interview with their leader and drums, which awaits us at number 438, from which you already have all the information and presale in our online store.In the next few days you will also find in Mariskalrock the results of our readers' votes in this edition of Rockferéndum.
