00:00I'm Hugh. Hey, I'm Luke. We're from the Cooks and these are our marquee memories.

00:21I think I was, I'd say I was between seven and eight when I saw Chuck Berry.

00:25For me, it was my first ever like musical moment and it always stuck with me the duck walk, the performance that he did.

00:32He must have been like 80 years old and even then I just thought, you know, I want to be that guy.

00:38I want to be doing like a duck walk on stage and playing rock and roll music.

00:43I tried to, I can't do it as well as him, but I can do a duck walk.

00:46I mean, I do it pretty much every show. Yeah, you kind of, it's like this kind of thing.

00:56I saw Motorhead. We actually played a festival. It was in Germany and it was incredibly muddy.

01:01And we found, I think, the only dry patch of grass in the crowd to go and watch them from.

01:09And it was Luke and me and Pete and Alexis. And we were stood there watching them.

01:15And they came on and just pretty much gave me a new hairstyle.

01:19I think just the onslaught, the sonic onslaught was just something that I'd never experienced from any gig before.

01:25Like the sheer volume of it was just, you know, mind blowing.

01:29Old Chuck. Old Lemmy.

01:35If you'd like to perhaps make some of your own memories, come catch us sometime.

01:41You might see his duck walk.

01:43You see the duck walk? Yeah. And the bum wiggle.

01:46Guaranteed. Satisfaction.

01:48Contractually.

01:50Come.

01:51Come.

01:52Come.

01:53Come.

01:54Come.

01:55Come.
