Lemmy Kilmister Old interview. His thoughts on Metallica, Megadeth and more.
Lemmy Kilmister was the iconic frontman of the heavy metal band Motörhead. Known for his gravelly voice, wild stage presence and dedication to rock 'n' roll, Lemmy was a legendary figure in the music industry. In this old interview, he shares his thoughts on some of the biggest names in metal - Metallica and Megadeth.
When asked about Metallica's success and their impact on the metal scene, Lemmy had nothing but praise for the band. He admired their musicianship and work ethic, saying "Metallica is a great band. They write great songs and they put on a hell of a show." He also acknowledged their influence on younger bands, stating "They've opened the door for a lot of other metal bands to get through. They deserve all the success they've had."
But Lemmy didn't hold back when it came to his thoughts on Metallica's former guitarist, Dave Mustaine, and his band Megadeth. He criticized their attitude and behavior, saying "I don't like Megadeth at all. I think Dave Mustaine is just a miserable git." He also called out their music as being unoriginal, stating "Megadeth is just a bad version of Metallica. They try too hard to be heavy and technical but they lack the soul that Metallica has." This may have been due to personal conflicts between Lemmy and Mustaine in the past.
Despite his criticisms, Lemmy still recognized the impact that Metallica had on the metal genre and their influence on younger bands. He stated "They've opened the door for a lot of other metal bands to get through. They deserve all the success they've had." This recognition shows that while he may not have been a fan of their music or behavior, Lemmy understood and respected their contributions to the industry.
In addition to his thoughts on Metallica, Lemmy also shared his views on other popular metal bands. He praised Black Sabbath as being pioneers of the genre and called Judas Priest "the best heavy metal band in the world." He also showed admiration for AC/DC's longevity, saying "They're still doing it after all these years. That takes dedication and determination."
Lemmy's words serve as a testament to the lasting impact of metal music and the influential power of bands like Metallica. Despite their controversial reputation, they have been able to break barriers and gain recognition from both fans and fellow musicians.
Today, Metallica continues to be one of the most successful metal bands in history, selling millions of albums worldwide and headlining major festivals and tours. Their influence can also be seen in countless younger bands who cite them as a major inspiration.
But beyond their musical accomplishments, Metallica has also made a significant impact in other areas. They have used their platform to address important social issues such as mental health, addiction, and environmentalism. They have also been actively involved in charitable causes, including their own All Within My Hands Foundation which focuses on supporting workforce education, the fight against hunger, and disaster relief efforts.
Despite being in the music industry for over three decades, Metallica remains relevant and continues to evolve. They have experimented with different genres and collaborated with various artists, always staying true to their unique sound and message.
In an industry where trends come and go, Metallica has remained a constant presence, solidifying their place as one of the greatest bands of all time. Their dedication, authenticity, and resilience are just some of the reasons why they have such a devoted fan base.
So whether you're a die-hard metalhead or simply appreciate good music, there's no denying the impact that Metallica has had on the music world. But beyond their musical achievements, the band has also used their platform to raise awareness and support important causes.
One cause that Metallica has been particularly passionate about is hunger and disaster relief efforts. They have donated millions of dollars to organizations such as Feeding America, All Within My Hands Foundation, and Global FoodBanking Network. These donations have helped provide meals for those in need during times of crisis and supported long-term solutions for fighting hunger.
Metallica also uses their concerts as a way to give back to communities in need. In 2019, they performed a special benefit concert in San Francisco where all proceeds went towards supporting wildfire relief efforts in California.
Through their music and actions, Metallica shows us that being successful doesn't just mean selling
He kept in touch with his audience. I met Lemmy after a motorhead show in Australia in the early 80's, he was just sitting at the end of the bar with the rest of the band, it was a local pub, I just started chatting to him over a drink, I shouted him a drink and he started buying me drinks , "anything as long as it's Vodka and Orange", he said. We chatted for about an hour about shit mainly, I was never the fan boy type, and Lemmy appreciated that, What a great night....I'll never forget it....
BS
We all miss Headbangers Ball and Lemmy.
Just music in general. What do we even have these days since the music industry turned to hil hop and pop?
Miss the old MTV!
Lemmy's right. "Heavy metal is rock'n'roll, just a different name."
06:45- I think Lemmy is the only one that could actually get away with calling James Hetfield Jimmy. 😂
Jimmy and his stage clothes 😂
Gotta love Lemmy. One of the realest rebellious rockers that ever did it.
Lemmy makes just so many good points about the music business
And about life in general.Salt of the earth bloke.
Lemmy was so wise. Miss him every day what a legend.
Not with the cigarettes he wasn’t
@janitoronfire really?? Shut up. He lived a long life who gives a shit about cigarettes.
No bullshit guy. I miss him too. I could picture him at a pub in Yorkshire in any different point of time..
A smart man and a sharp mind, with a great sense of humor.
"Crazed joy and rebellion for no apparent reason" -- Lemmy's spot on definition of rock 'n roll.
Think about how you go from being a Motörhead fan as a kid to being friends with them, and in the end Motörhead does a cover of your song.
Mindblowing.
That would make anyone's century.
Every time I listen to Lemmy talk it makes me want to drink Jack and Coke.
Such an uncomplicated person, he rocked, he drank, he enjoyed his life, what more could you want?
"Extraordinary men are usually tempted by the most ordinary things."
I’m sure his life was much more
Complicated then you think , he was an alcoholic
for him to live another week, as I had tickets to see them in Dallas for the first time.
He was a big reader. Ozzy said would only carry books with him
More drinking
he looks so unusual without his beard
I saw Motorhead , Alice in chains and Ozzy Osbourne in 92' was such a good show in little Rock Ark. Miss you much Lemmy , hope your Rockin their socks off up there you Rock God !!!
Have you ever noticed how bizarre people can be in a comments section? This man is clearly on top of his game and enjoying life.
He was the reason for James's mustache
Nice to see Lemmy again. Super guy.
Buzzing on that speed. Miss you Lem.
Lemmy war so ein toller Mensch ❤
RIP Lemmy ♠️ Happy Metal New Year 🙏✌️🤘🏴🇦🇺
Eventually those moles on his face would break off and start their own band. They still headline in Poland.
A 3 man band? Interesting
I was there at the LA Coliseum shows Motorhead Metallica and GnR great time great show
He had a plain way of speaking but you can tell he was a sharp man..
I love Lemmy. He was pure. Rock music has gone soft since his passing.
No it hasn't, what a wildly stupid statement, and yes he is greatly missed, but it didn't make anyone rock any less, in fact I might be as bold to say it strengthened it's resolve...
@@rodturner6759 pure in then sense of untainted by external influence, not a stupid statement in the slightest. And it does in fact lower the standard when vanguard of anything , especially an art form pass away. Culture closes chapters and trends as icons fade by means of no new product. Example, in the absence of led zeppelin, we are marketed Greta van fleet as the new zeppelin, and I say, Nope. Not even close. Meaning in zeps absence culture chose imitation not innovation.
Society has gone soft
He lit up at least 3 cigarettes in 16 minutes
Lemmy actually was quite a nice looking bloke warts n all... always with a quick wit and a honest endeavors
He did it and he love it! Go go Lemmy!
Little known fact: Lemmy was 19 years old in this interview
This interview was in 96, he'd be older than that.
@@russcole5685whoosh
ABSOLUFUKINLUTLY BRILLIANCE!💕🙏😭 MISS YOU LEGEND!!!!
Rock on Lemmy👍😎🇦🇺
mid 1980's, Providence, Rhode Island, rock radio station, 94.1, WHJY 'The Metal Zone', on Saturday nights(still on, Sat. nights, on 'iHeart'), founded, hosted by DJ, RIP, killed in "the Station" nightclub fire in 2003, Michael 'Doctor Metal' Gonsalves(also the overnight DJ)...
Metallica, in town for a small club(about 500 person capacity), they slept in Doc Metal's Apartment's living room
"5 guys going in the studio" It's worse. They did all the playing isolated from each other through CCTV monitors without any feeling of any kind of life in the music.
6:48 - I've never seen anyone calling pap-het Jimmy before
He said jason
@@SMEDSRUDmusicbefore that he said: Jimmy looks more like me than I do
I suppose you have an “unspoken right” to call Papa Het “Jimmy” when you influenced him. 😂
Hetfield has stated Lemmy is the
only person who can get away with it. Hell, I’d let Lemmy call me Douglas. Not my mother, mind you, but Lemmy can.
Wow! Lemmy sure did have alot of high standards! Motorhead? Average in quality. The only true cool thing about Motorhead was that they were highly influential on other bands.🤷🏻♂️
Therapist: Beardless Lemmy doesn't exist, he can't hurt you.
*Beardless Lemmy:*
Who would win in a fight... Lemmy or God?
"Hahaha triick question, Lemmy is God"
I met lemmy years ago in hollywood... such a cool, down to earth guy. He was just walking down the street. Talked to my buddie and I for at least 10 minutes signed some stuff for us and took off.
He is rock and roll.
There was no fun in touring.......enter Pantera.....
Drinking and smoking cigarettes is lame except when Lemmy does it.
I had never heard of his band, but they opened for another band in 75 or 76 in Shreveport.
How lemmy never saw through lars and hetfield is still beyond me
Heu was this filmed at the rainbow?
Most likely
I bet Metallica went out looking for that striped paint too!
TRUE LEGEND 🤘🤘
Great interview
He could hold a cigarette with just the wartz gross
Austin Powers stole the "mole" thing from Lemmy. Money got in the middle of touring. Look at Metallica's pre ritual. 63 year olds trying to be 15 years old. And it shows in their last few albums of music. Get rid of the ProTools, the 50 parts to a song, and go for it like the old days. Maybe they can't anymore
They cant
R.I.P Lemmy ♠️
Breathing heavy when I listen to Lemmy…. Breathing heavy.
British heavy
1:58 "You can find their magic marker all over the place."
I miss him badly.
Whorehouse blues. Great song. ❤
"You have to be loud" it triggers fight or flight, your body is telling you that it's hazardous environment. Which is "exciting".
I heard a band nearly failed to record their first album - their best!! They were too drunk! I don't listen to hearsay. I can't hear what they say.😂😂😂😂
Good upload. ❤
God Bless Lemmy.
My first Motorhead show was Sept 1983, same with Metallica Nov 1983
When I die….i wanna come back as Lemmy…..
He's dead.
@@soitsanightmare HOW………DARE …….YOU!!!!!!!
He’ll never die!!!!
Idiot!!!
Bahaha lars was a fanboy, and it finally paid off! The other 3 carried Lars to a magical music career.
I first saw Motorhead on this tour. Nobody like them before or since.
I love the mind of Lemmy
You shave those warts dood
They are not warts.
Freaking warts gross
Lemmy never looked right without his handlebar moustache - it's like KISS without the makeup.
Ha ha,I couldn’t put my finger on it….no mustache.
what...? i suppose you think he was born with it...?
@@csnide6702 Yeah, obviously. And the tattoos.
i was at the seattle show UP FRONT AND CENTER
I dont care who you are, youre not cool if you dont carry a zippo
👍🤗
Metallica didn’t just cut their hair, they changed their whole style of dress and presentation. It was obvious rebrand marketing in and attempt to keep up with the times. That’s lame. Their music has sucked since Load, they got rich and lost their edge. It’s been about money and ego ever since.
......and?
Don't forget the mid life crisis "stage clothes" 😅
Never really realized Lemmy had 2 colons. Rip buddy
Anyone know what year this was filmed?
late 1998. he mentions Snake Bite Love as their newest album
@@RetroMediaLibrary Thanks!
5:32 😆
Lemmy tossed me one of his carbuncles at a show
15:37 We'll never stop...
Frenzy of hatred lol
Did chain smoking have anything to do with his death?
Chain smoking, whiskey drinking, drugs, etc
@@GuaranteedEtern if I had musical talent, I would be a Rockstar, I have all these addictions lol
No, he was Killed by Death.
@@drengskap A+
@@stephenberndl2939 3/4 man you're almost there!
Lovely
A real guy
I don't understand a word :D
In which year was that interview ? Anybody knows ?
Had to be around when Load came out, probably 96 or 97
He was clean shaven in the overnight sensation era so yeah as the above comment says 96/97
He mentions the Snake Bite Love album which was released early 98 so must be around then.
don‘t understand a word
When was the interview?
Answer to myself.: 1998 🙈
A meth success story 😂
He was certainly very intelligent,
but no one you should follow.
Peter Pan life style
lemmy was a joke don't understand the love. John lydon was the real shit at the time
Love Lemmy, but dude he should've cut those warts off man. LMFAO
Why
They're fkn gross. But hey, to each his own right.@@SeC-q9m
No he should not have
Yes, he should have. LMFAO@@katieb8511
No!
No le entiendo una jodida mierda de lo que dice
