These are just a little more cost wise than the Carvin stainless steels I have been using for years. Its a pain in the butt having to order the Carvins opposed to being able to just go to GC down the street and pick up a set of these right then and there.

Just in time for my birthday :) Might just have to pick up a box of these as a gift to myself. If worse comes to worse and I don't dig them, which I highly doubt, I could always put them on a shelf in my music room for decoration.

I think after the interview, they figured that lemmy should be using more than just dunlop picks. so they switched him to dunlop for strings. Im guessing its just a regular stainless steel set with custom gauges which a lot of signature strings are..

Yeah I wondered. And thought about the other posters idea that dunloip switched him so he used more then their picks. On the latter Id say lemmy is fairly particuliar about his sound. He did use just rotosounds at least in the Hawkwind days and early Moterhead days. I think he switched to Dean Blue steels in the mid 90's but Im not certain. Wether or not Id like his sound with dunlops as much as with the rotos and then deans, I dunno. Lol.

On the same hand I could imagine Lemmy saying yeah I'll endorse them. See how many dumbasses go and buy them not noticing my strings still have the same silks as these many past yrs. bozo's! Lol. Or something like that as a lemy being lemmy and laughing at those who think a certain string brand will magicakly make them sound like him. Lol.
