Same here

That's the main reason why I have such a downer on him

My mate who only got into metal a few years back got to see Motorhead and Black Sabbath granted there were not at their peak or anything but I was raging listening to metal my whole life and I never got them see either of them

Motorhead were still an exceptional band until pretty much the end. It was only the last couple of years that Lemmy's health began to worsen that his performance went off a bit.

The World is Ours Vol 2 from Wacken 2011 is testament to that. When i saw them in the mid 00's they were amazing.

Not sure about Sabbath. Ozzy's been dodgy for decades. He could barely sing at Ozzfest in 2002. His entire performance seemed to consist of throwing water about and croaking "Let's go f8cking crazy"

Lemmy walked on stage at the gig and said my voice is f**ked and barely sang for the first four songs but he said it improved as the gig went on.

In contrast when i saw them i could barely hear for days after. I thought my ears would never stop ringing. And that was a time when sound levels were supposedly monitored to safety levels. They sure as shit weren't. Didn't help that Lemmy kept asking if we wanted it louder and the crowd kept chanting yes.

That is a shame, it wouldn't be the same.
