Not just a great drummer, also a great human being.❤
How do you know? Do you know in personally?
@turtleneck ferret Actually I do.
@Christer Vainio me too. What a coincidence. He's my next door neighbor. How do you know him?
@Christer Vainio Så du är svensk? Ditt namn indikerar så.

We all loved Phil Taylor, but Mickey was like a fucking machine behind the kit. He was perfect for Motorhead and I think his stability behind the kit unleashed Phil Campbell to be more experimental. Lemmy was very fond of Mickey too. Us fans will always have a soft spot, or is that a hard spot, for the D man!! ♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️
Phil was definitely great all throughout Motorhead, but it was definitely time for him to go for good. Besides, he played the best when Fast Eddie was still in the band.
nothing is like Phil Taylor the best in Motorhead as a drummer, but Mickey is very good
I prefer the original line up. The "Ace of Spades" set.
@Larz Gustafsson That set up is not the original. In fact it 's the third one.
Alot of musicians hate dealing with the industry, money, contracts and the stuff around it. It's great to have people like Mikkey who know how to deal with this stuff - which is really important if you want to get your band going
I saw Motorhead in Spain in 2010 and this guy,s drumming was brilliant. Great swing and feel. Seriously impressive...and I,m not even a hard rock fan!
On top of being a great, energetic drummer, Mikkey Dee always came across as a level-headed guy with a no-nonsense approach to both the entertainment side of the music business, but the serious side as well. Great interview. When you have someone like Mikkey over, you let him talk, like you did.
😎👊👊
Great guy and iconic band ! Lemmy IS a legend !
👍
I met him on the Abigail tour and he was a cool cat. He went on to be a legendary drummer. Cheers brother 🔥
😎💯✊
Love Mikkey. Glad I got to see Motorhead a few times. No nonsense rock n roll that attracted an interesting and eclectic crowd - rock, punk, metal and the curious
Mikkey is a great musician with an awsome original style from way back to the time he was with King.
He didn't sound like anyone and nobody sounded like him.A monster creative player on doublebass.A lot if people know him from Motorhead but
If your a drummer be sure to check out Abigail Them and Conspiracy as well as Don Dokkens great solo record
Up from the ashes
Great drumming!
Keep Rockin Mikkey!
😎
The work Mikkey did on the four albums with King Diamond is FOREVER EPIC!
Met him after a show in Toronto. Absolute gentleman
Mikkey is a legend. Just seen him with Scorpions. Flamin’ legend.
😎
We saw you in your last stop in Reno. We flipped off Lemmy from the balcony when the lights turned up and he laughed, then the whole crowd started flipping him off. You were laughing too. A great memory. A great show. Take care, Mikkey.
I saw them in Portland Oregon in like 97. Lemmy would run offstage after the last note in the song and Mickey often had to talk to the crowd. You could see Lemmy partying offstage. Sometimes he came back with his drink or a joint in his mouth. It was one of the best shoes I ever saw despite all that. Saw them 3 times ultimately and they played the best that night.
Dude is a badass drummer
100% Mikkey was that engine that came in at the right time and brought that Wellington bomber (so to speak) nose dive up and leveled it out. And slowly and gently started pulling the stick back to again to raise the planes to what Motörhead became and was and still is.
Great (flight inpired) comment.
Just an amazing drummer and now continuing on with the Scorpions.
Great drummer and seems like a nice fellow.
Awesome drummer as was Phil..so underestimated the both of them ❤
I seen him play with the scorpions last year . Good show !
Solid guy brilliant drummer ! 👍🎸🎸🎸
Love Mikkey Dee a great guy and a fantastic drummer, Dee saved the band
Damn he is fucking badass drummer
Mikkey is a legend 🤘🏼
Mikkey Dee YeaY!! I remember reading about him in Modern Drummer Magazine in the 90's (?). Knew of Motorhead, of coarse. Thought it was for biker bars. Years later with Mister Dee playing live I am a stone fan. This guy is a fantastic song playing drummer.
Lemmy was formed in the acid driven crucible of the Free Festival UK and Hawkwind. He fell in with the amphetamine biker crowd... leathers, and all night partying. He was what we used to call a 'Speed freak'. Speed freaks are hard to get along with unless you are a speed freak.
Mikkey drove Motorhead in more ways than one. They would have crashed without him.
Great..
No they wouldn't, Lemmy would have never given up!
@Matthew McDonald Mikk did take care of business..
Probably
@Mr Majestyk What's your point?, You think Motorhead would have crashed if Mikkey wasn't taking care of the business? That seems ridiculous doesn't it?
I saw him with King Diamond on the Them tour - Flotsam and Jetsam opened
amazing concert
Phil was awesome .as is mikkey ..phil WAS a animal ..couldn't of asked for a better dummer to take over xx
Lmfoa..nobody could do what you did ....you were awesome mate ...what a drummer you are ❤😊
😎
A true team player.
Mikkey steared those guys in the right direction 🙏🙏
Love mikkey. And his drumming. Philthy was great but yea. Motorhead would have collapsed without mikkey
Best drummer I ever saw in my life!
Mikkey Dee is one of many influences that shaped my sound!
😎💯
Living Legend 🤟🥁🤟
amazing drummer
😲😲 Motorhead was my first concert for me at 13 1980 NYC paid $5 for it. Have 5tats of Lemmy KILMISTER SNAGGLETOOTH UNDER MY NECK AND MOTORHEAD NAME ON RIGHT SIDE OF MY FOREARM REST IN POWER LEMMY KILMISTER Motorhead
Mikkey!!! First time hearing you speak , long time inspired by your wonder work with KD , thanks for rocking my head
What a great guy!!!
I saw Mik with Diamond three times (Abigail/Them era) but never with Motorhead. One of the best drummers of all time, imo.
I have his signed drumsticks from a Motorhead show i saw but I wish I could've seen him with King
you saw K Diamond once and went back 2 more times? wow.
still love your work!!!
*_I never knew that Mikkey Dee was American!_*
That was very interesting-thank you!
Motörhead best trio Rock'n'roll Band . Absolutely!
Irony here as it was Pete Gill who first attempted to do that and Lemmy considered him trying to steal his band jist by getting themto be a little more professional. May be by '92 they realised they needed someone to help with that side if things.
Once saw him a few years ago window shopping in Sheffield
Mickey Dee best drummer alive today
So much love and respect to Mikkey.X
“The best drummer in the world! Mickie Dee!”
why is Lemmy’s estate in the hands of non family. why didn’t Mikkey take care of that?
If I understand things correctly Lemmys son has had a very difficult time with Todd Singerman since lemmy has passed away.
Rumor has it that Lemmys property is kept under lock and key by Todd and the son has had no luck obtaining his dads property
Such a bummer if that is true
😲😲😲 that 😢 he thief then. Karma get him. Never trust that Guy ever
I`ve heard that too,he took all Lem`s WW2 collection for himself.
Wow thanks alot for the work
Best phone call Lemmy ever did. To Mikk. After Taylor past away.. Taylor in my book nr1
😎
Where did Lemmys money go?? Good thing Mikkey came on the scene to at least keep one eye on the Snake's.
A more honest band is hard to find, Motörhead.
😎💯
Has anyone heard about the big drinking/drug-taking/partying feats of Mickey Dee? The answer is *no* because it didn't happen (or if it did, he always had control over it.)
The drummer in a rock n' roll band must be the most professional, hardest working member of the band. He is the conductor of the band and with Mickey Dee as skipper, Motörhead ran a tight ship, often blowing away bands less than half their age as well as much bigger bands that they opened for. (I had no idea who Motörhead was when I first saw them... they were supporting Motley Crue in 2006 and my mate told me to make sure to come to the gig early and with respect to the Crue, Motörhead blew them out of the water. When Lemmy said "we are Motörhead and we are here to kick your arse", he was not lying. The only song they played that I knew of was "Ace of Spades" but I was going off my head to each and every song they played. The whole band was awesome. The loudest 3 piece band ever. And I had never seen a drummer like Mickey. Not before and not since.)
There is no way that Lemmy would've been playing solid sets with Phil Campbell to arenas right up until he was "Killed by Death" without Mickey Dee holding it down. You could see a Motörhead concert in the 80s, 90s, 00s or the first half of the 2010s and you'd still get the authentic and complete Motörhead experience. I have seen many bands and very few have that longevity of consistently awesome live performances. ZZ Top and the Alice Cooper (solo) band are the only other ones I can think of. Not even Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, AC/DC, Sabbath, Aerosmith, Kiss or The Stones had/have that.
So if you were like me, and were fortunate to see them, even as late as 2006, 2008 and 2011 (all in Sydney, Australia in my case), you can thank Mickey Dee for that.
gr8 interview boys. ty
Cool interview
YOU BEAT ME TO THE PUNCH
THE MACHINE IS A BLOOD SUCKER
Awesome post, thanks
Cheers
Lemmy rules...
Mickey is Greek, not Swedish ;)
Nope. He is Swedish. Born in Gothenburg. His father is Greek, mother Swedish.

learn to be quiet and not insert yourself as an interviewer. don't fill in when your interviewee is trying to formulate a thought. we're here for them, not you. good luck.
a boring drummer
I hate King Diamond.
I remember when Mikky left King Diamond a d joined Moorhead.. they had many members Iin and out.
Mikkey made the band even better.
