For a man that was Born to Raise Hell, Lemmy was surprisingly calm while we spoke. I dont know what I was expecting for him to do while we on the phone. Its not like he could have smashed me with a whiskey bottle or anything but that would have been kind of cool.
The first Motörhead approved box set is being released and its the first fully comprehensive box set collection covering Motörheads entire career from 1975-2002. It contains a new 12,000 word essay by Classic Rock editor and famed...
Lemmy mentioned something about a band from toronto called Cheerleader. Well, it just so happens that Tony (the lead singer from cheerleader) is my neighbor. He just got back from L.A a few weeks ago. Isent that cool. Tony is fuckin awesome, he told me all about L.A before I went. Rock.
The coolest thing about Lemmy is he's always at the Rainbow in Hollywood just hanging out having his drink, playing Miss Pac-man. Yes Lemmy moves Miss Pac-man and he doesn't mind if you want to play him a game. My friend actually beat him once.
Reminds me of the quote: "Who win in a figt Lemmy or God?....Trick question Lemmy is God. So I guess my friend beat God in Miss Pac-man
I had the opportunity to meet Lemmy at the afterparty in MSG when they performed with Iron Maiden and Dio this summer here in NYC. Quite the ladies man...but a complete gentlemen. Motorhead ROX
Sweet - My friend Tom won the "Go to Germany with Motorhead" contest on MTV (back when MTV was actually kind of cool) in like 1983. He said Lemmy was the coolest, nicest guy ever and totally had fun with them. The other coolest thing about Tom was that his dad was the FBI agent that arrested Patty Hearst.
Motorhead was my very first real grownup nightclub show in 1980 at the long gone Old Waldorf in SF. The original band with Fast Eddie and Philthy Animal. The opening band was Quiet Riot when Randy Rhodes was still playing with them. It was sweet.
