Daz Interviews… Chris Aiello
Some stories in rock and roll feel almost too unlikely to be real. This is one of them.
In this interview, Daz speaks with Chris Aiello about a Rickenbacker bass guitar that his family has owned since 1983. The story connects directly to Motörhead, a live show in Brooklyn, and a moment that changed everything.
Watch and Listen
A Night in 1983
The story begins during the “Another Perfect Day” tour when Motörhead played in Brooklyn, New York.
A raffle was held at the show with a prize that most fans would consider unbelievable. The winner would receive a bass guitar used by the band.
Chris’s family was there the following day when the winner was announced. Against all odds, his brother Christopher won.
From Stage to Family Home
The prize came with more than just the instrument. The family were invited to attend the second night of the show and spend time around the band.
What followed was an experience that placed them directly in the orbit of one of rock’s most iconic groups.
The bass itself remained with the family and became part of their shared history.
More Than an Instrument
This is not just a discussion about gear or memorabilia. It is a story about connection.
Chris reflects on the meaning of the bass today and how it represents his family, his brothers, and a moment in time that cannot be recreated.
The Question
Was this really one of Lemmy’s bass guitars
The interview explores the evidence, the history, and the belief that this instrument may have been played during one of the most important eras in Motörhead’s career.
Final Thoughts
Whether you come to this story as a fan of Motörhead or simply someone who appreciates music history, it is hard not to be drawn in.
Moments like this remind us that music is not just something we listen to. It is something we live through.
