Myself and a mate climbed over the high corrugated tin fence into the guest enclosure at Queen's last gig at Knebworth (9th Aug '86). Lemmy was stood at a trestle table of drinks watching, he simply smiled at us, beckoned us over & passed us both a drink. Watched the remainder of the show with him! Life long happy memory :) Had a few 'meetings' with him in the 80's. Pure class dude!
Back in 1996, I was in Hollywood. Was a weekday afternoon, I went into the Rainbow and there was nobody in there EXCEPT Lemmy. Sitting at the Mrs Pacman table top. Playing the game and drinking Jack & Coke. True story.
I jumped the fence that day too, but think it was at the back near toilets Remember it was really hot, don't remember Lemmy playing, I think Big country were on before Queen (my dad)
MTV didn't set out to fight anything. And Metallica became the thing it set out to be. The biggest metal band in the world. And TBA was written before they stepped into the studio with Bob Rock. Bob Rock didn't write their songs for them.
i read your comment EXCTALY at the same time Lemmy said it when i was watching the video3 years later ......i pause it to write this comment .....FUCKIN INSANE is it a sign ?!
+LMTR14 Heavy metal is the evolution of Rock. It's a sub genre of Rock n Roll, just like punk is. Like Thrash, Death, Doom, are sub genres of Heavy metal. It's not that complicated.
I think the point was that Rock as an umbrella category, and Metal as a sub-category are not exclusionary, where I've heard it opined that they are. I think perhaps that was his point.
No human being has ever been more true to themselves than Lemmy Kilmister. No bullshit, no fake shit, no pandering, no selling himself out. Always put it on the line and never deviated from his core principles. Lemmy was the personification of rock-n-roll, respect by fellow musicians and loved by his fans. Motörhead is responsible for some of my hearing loss and I would not have it any other way. War Lemmy and Motörhead!!
"Well now I've got some Advice for you, little buddy Before you point the finger You should know that I'm the man I'm the man and you're the man And he's the man as well So you can point that fuckin' finger up your ass All you know about me is what I've sold ya, dumb fuck I sold out long before you'd ever even heard my name I sold my soul to make a record, dip shit And then you bought one" Written by the Reverend Maynard, for ppl like you... what the hell would you know about "selling out"? No one is looking to buy what you have. It's really easy to preach monogamy when no one wants to fuck you.
Lermmy is a rock legend. He has so much charisma and wisdom. I met him in Atlanta in 1999. He was sitting at the bar of the Tabernacle, (where Motorhead played that night), talking to some girl with orange hair...lol. I didn't want to invade his space, but I really did want to say "hello", to my favorite Rock and Roller while I had the chance. So I did; "Hey Lemmy!" And he responded in kind, "Hey man!" And that was cool with me! lol! I spoke to Phil Campbell too. Long live Motorhead!
I met Lemmy by mistake lol I went to see W.A.S.P. in Memphis, TN and MOTORHEAD was the opening act. Lemmy spent too much time at the bar after the concert was over and ran right smack into me running for the bus before they left him lol He was sooo nice and apologized greatly for almost knocking me down outside the venue. I loved him before, but so loved him more after that! He was so nice and apologetic! lol I just wish that he wasn't running for the bus to leave and had NO TIME for me to ask for a picture, or anything! ... but HEY... I have a GREAT memory from an awesome man!
***** compared to Harlech most places are grim, it's beautiful down there. although im quite lucky myself, I live on the south shore of Ynys Mon overlooking Snowdonia. I've got to look at Caernarfon to, but hey it could be worse, it could be Bangor!
Fuck Yeah I Mean its Lemmy and Ozzy are the Most fuckin crazy Guys to Bad Lemmy died of Prancreatic cancer no i think he was speaking to Ozzy and Lemmy was struggling to breath due to COPD Jesus Christ After all those years of 🚬 i wounder how many packs of Marlboro Reds Did he Smoke how much did he drink!! For Christ sake but i loved Motorhead either way!!
Lemmy doesn't know he has charisma. That's why he has charisma. That was fascinating stuff, seriously. Lemmy was once quoted as saying, about Motorhead's musicianship, "We only know three chords, but we arrange 'em pretty well"
Johnny cash’s music wasn’t written to make you shake your ass or head bang but lyrically it brought a certain emotion with it with a nice guitar melody he had a distinct voice that grab your attention but your entitled to your opinion hope this helps you understand why people generally like and appreciate his music
Heavy Metal is Heavy Metal, it´s a movement. Lemmy and Motörhead didn´t play R ´n´either. Maybe a little bit as Phil was their drummer. But R´n´R is a whole different thing. Sorry Lem.
This guy just seems too genuine to be in any kind of bad place right now. If you believe in God, well, He brought this great man into the world and I bet He would like hanging with Lem.
Remember back when there were people who played rock and roll and gave a shit about music, and their fans? I'm not even a huge Motorhead fan, but i am not sure there is anybody cooler on this fucking planet. Truly one of the wisest people i have ever heard talk. Very straightforward, NO bullshit. I just love it.
For real. Just because those Tik Tok songs get in ur head, they aren't music. The toy that is singing them, er the tech making them sound LIKE they r singing, can't compare. We're not hating on u kids, but PLAY something! BE a performer! Madonna is a performer. Shakira, is a performer. But they also sing. Harry Styles, is a singer, entertainer, musician, and songwriter. He doesn't just write a word to get credit. It's a passion. It's fine to sing and jam to other artists. That's how u learn what has been a proven sound. But add ur heart and ur own originality. Bruno Mars is a whole package. But these talented ones get lost in the synthetic bunch. Taylor Swift is a true musician, but people focus on her look or who she's writing about.
It's like BECAUSE of the intro to Lemmy so young, we can appreciate. Or The Beatles. Or The Stones. For me it was Motley Crüe. I still see 3 solid musicians. They give their hearts. Don't invite me to ur show and have me pay for it, for it to not be a little bit about me, ya know? Especially now that there's a deadly virus, freaking monkey pox, and some people still not on their feet from shutdown. Give us a reason, not blind loyalty. I'm too old for that. Actually, I'm a NKOTB fan too. Simultaneously, with Metallica, Motorhead, Sabbath, until grunge/punk came along. There's enough room in my heart for all of em. My playlists have hardly any modern music. The Headpins and Nitty Gritty, genre is for record stores. Ahhh the smell of vinyl though! My friends dad had Tommy James and The Shondells, and we would listen to it over and over again. And then put in a Beastie Boys tape or Cinderella. Foos and Nirvana, if u have to tell someone ur a fan, they don't know u. Or music. There r just givens. Or Johnny Cash or George Jones, they made road life. Lita Ford still lives road life. Leaves it on the stage. Some of us r made different.
Heavy Metal is Rock and Roll. Without hesitation or a blink of the eye immediately corrects the interviewer. He is the reason why Metal exists. A shame he's gone. A true shame none of his music was played on the radio when he passed
Boeingfan727 You got thumbed up not only for your comment, but your appreciation for the B727, the most gorgeous airliner ever built next to the 747. Cheers!
Boeingfan727 he’s definitely the reason more extreme metal genres thrash and speed metal venom also helped with that I don’t know who influenced them though
I drank at the bar with Lemmy early before a Motorhead show back around 2004/5. My buddy and I showed up super early and nobody was in the place so we went over to the adjacent bar and ordered some whiskey's and beers. Some guy was playing the pinball machines in the far dark corner at the end of the long bar. He gets done playing walks the length of that long bar and sits down right next me at the bar, bullet belt, Iron Cross, leather jacket, boots and all. I always wore a .308 bullet belt and leather jacket to metal shows because of him and the Thrash scene. I didn't ask for a picture or autograph, just sat at the bar and drank with the man and talked. I'll never forget that. RIP Lemmy.
I met Lemmy in a posh club in London called the Embassy club, in the 80s. I was in a band and our manager took us there to meet some music business people. He didn't buy me a drink, but he was such a friendly guy. Genuine bloke.
when I was 12 or 13, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end when he screamed out "I don't want to live forever!" and I still always yell it along with it.
true story i was 17 yrs old at the time. they had me do dressing rooms at the march or die tour this was at the old pine knob venue in clarkston michigan i was a skinny black kid with an afro scared to death . .I mean everyone one had long hair even the dudes!! but i needed the cash at the time I didnt know anyone and this guy was the only one who would take the time out to talk to me an just tell me about how he loved the girls but hated the tour part of it but he loved his job he told me he got more joy out of playing in dive bars in front of his friends than big crowds he said family and good friend is always a better crowd they dont lie to ya cuz if you suck they will tell you . lol i didnt know what the hell he was talkin about at the time. that was the last time i saw him in 92 his last words to me was...hey kid keep ya motor heads up and ill catch ya on the flip side aye!! i never will forget how kool he was with me...he even made sure i had food to cuz nobody else did. just the best dude ever i will never forget that. miss the guy. We did take a picture together with one of those old Kodak Polaroids u had to shake the picture to see it lol I still have it.
Good story. Cool you still have your picture. all my stuff I did, were lived, who I've met. I traveled the U.S.A and seen and did everything. I don't have one thing from my life to look at see or touch. Just memories and stories a regular person has a hard time wrappin thier head around it hard believe. I cool you got a good memory and pic of it. CHEERS !!!
That's really cool, man! Especially the part with dive bars and them being more fun to play at in front of your friends. I've never thought of it this way, I've always assumed the bigger the crowd the better as all the energy from the audience just hits you on stage in waves like an orgasm. But then again in said bars, it's a much more personal experience for everyone involved, right? The way Lemmy defines Rock n Roll and the motivation for it resulting in happiness, I can see that some amps, a few blokes you like to hang out with, booze, speed, and a girl willing to jump on your knob are pretty much all the ingredients you'd possibly need to enjoy life to the fullest as a musician of Lemmy's caliber. Not saying I wanna live that way and I don't want to needlessly glorify this kind of lifestyle, it's just that from his point of view it totally makes sense.
Kudos to the interviewer. He seemed to have Lemmy's respect and managed to keep the interview going with not so stupid questions. Also he let the man talk.
Lemmy & Dio, the 2 true gentlemen of Rock & Roll. Always cordial and willing to sit down and talk about their worlds... Thank you both for your contributions to Rock & Roll, you both will be sorely missed!
100% honesty.. Let me tell you, i learned that being honest takes you a long way, and i learned it from this man.. Lemmy was just that... brutally honest. Liars are assholes, honest people are noble. Thank you Lemmy for you service. We will miss you, but never forget you.
Actually, he had 10 million dollars or so at the time he died. I know its not much considering Lars Ulrichs or James Hetfields 200 million dollars but..still...I would love to die THAT broke.. :D
AGENTARMES Thanks for sharing this .... This is Rock-N-Roll history man I appreciate it and I am sure that there are many other rock fans out there that do as well. Have a good one and keep the videos coming!
What a great guy. Never heard of Motorhead before his passing and now this musicians words of wisdom are just great. So sad that he left us. So glad that we have his video clips of his sage words on Rock and Roll. RH DSD
Man, Lemmy hit's it right on the head. People who expect every new album to sound like a continued version of the previous one. Tells you a lot about the listeners or the ones who call themselves fans, when they can't get past aesthetics or sound of the band.
What are you even trying to say? A fan has every right to turn on a band if they don't like their new sound, and in Metallica's case they pretty much spat in the face of their hardcore fans by deciding they would be mainstream and rich rather than loved by their real fans. They tried to defend it and say that's not what they were doing but it totally is what they did. The load and reload album were shit because they were shit not because everyone had a grudge on them, every metallica fan bought that album and gave it a chance before turning on them. And seriously everybody saying that getting a haircut doesn't effect music does not get what it meant. If one of them cut there hair no one would care, even if they all did it eventually, But what they did was all cut their hair at once which is like saying we are not the same metallica who wrote the And justice for all album, and they proved it soon after with load. That's why people talk about Metallica being shit once they "cut their hair". They are not actually saying that having less hair makes you less musically talented, That's just when they sold out.
Anybody who knows anything about the band wouldn't be making stupid ass statements like, "they cut their hair, so now they're shit/sellouts/etc." Maybe you ought to read up on why they cut their hair before making a statement like that. As a matter of fact, hop over to reddit and go to /r/metallica and read through some of those discussions.
Are you talking to me? Because I really don't think you read what I wrote properly if you are. They cut their hair at the same time they stopped making good music and meaningful and metal as fuck lyrics. They got alt metal haircuts and started dressing all smart and shit, which is a punch in the face to everyone who loves thrash and speed metal because of early Metallica. Early Metallica is one of the greatest bands in history but I wouldn't cross the street to see them for free these days. If you still think they have the passion they once did for music just look at the napster lawsuit. They actually called their fans that just wanted to hear the music thieves and criminals. They used to live on buses and eat sardines and were happy, now they are fuckin millionaires and they get upset when someone hears them without paying. If you want anymore evidence that they sold out just ask because there is plenty more
drgdegd gedgeg I`m not making the connection on how to be truly " metal" you have to look like shit. "...dressing all smart and shit" - I lol`d. And get off the Napster thing already. They saw the writing on the wall, moron. Countless bands bit the dust due to album sales tanking and labels going belly up because of P2P. They were the ones that had enough balls to fight for not themselves, but for everybody else. You see what you want to see, like most self-proclaimed "true fans", not reality.
It's funny how he's talking about the stuff people hate about music these days, all the way back in around '95 - '96. How MTV was becoming a joke, bands that don't tour, and how touring isn't "fun" anymore. Really goes to show you that all this stuff it's recent. It's been happening for decades.
I met Lemmy several times years ago and most people don’t know that he was a very intelligent and compassionate man. He really cared about people and mankind. Very great loss to mankind when he died he was so courageous,no one fucked with Lemmy.
thin lizzys thunder and lightning is such a motorhead song . ive seen pics with lemmy and phil together . i wish i knew more about their friendship but ive never found either talking about eachother
Man Metallica re so lucky.Having your idol,who u once worshipped as god,is praising you and your efforts.Not many people are blessed with this good fortune.
Awesome, awesome clip man! Thanks for posting this! So much interesting stuff gets cut out for the sake of making an interview more polished. I love these unedited clips.
Lemmy's interviews always have sage advice. He seemed the type that caught on the name of the game early and, and started doing his own thing immediately as a response.
Lemmy was as cool in the flesh as you see on the video. He shouted me a beer one night because I had waited politely to see him. Gave me his autograph and Peter Gill’s as well. I miss him so much.
Its really refreshing to see how respectful he is towards his peers dee snyder is a fuckin legend for standing up for free speech and against censorship plus he testified in front of Congress in basically full drag
Lemmy sure reminded me of my dad, hard core whiskey and cigarettes. I am so glad that we have the real warriors, working real hard for the truth. Thank you so much Lemmy!!! Although I never knew you, I wish my dad met you!! Crazy eh? I love your kindred spirits. To his son as well, hope all is good! I miss my dad so much too!!
"Heavy Metal IS Rock and Roll. It's just a different name." RIP, Lemmy, we'll keep playing it loud... (And thanks +AGENTARMES for posting this magical, marvelous, honest and historic interview!)
Dude.Im fukn very impressed with that ya decided to share this with me and the world. You are a good man. "GOD" owes you a good seat in heaven my good man.Peace be with you son!
I'd rather hear Lemmy talk, than a lot of bands play...
Such a great and true comment!
lol indeed
Man...you made my day with that comment
Great comment
Adrian Lackey Amen
Myself and a mate climbed over the high corrugated tin fence into the guest enclosure at Queen's last gig at Knebworth (9th Aug '86).
Lemmy was stood at a trestle table of drinks watching, he simply smiled at us, beckoned us over & passed us both a drink. Watched the remainder of the show with him!
Life long happy memory :)
Had a few 'meetings' with him in the 80's. Pure class dude!
Epic.
Back in 1996, I was in Hollywood. Was a weekday afternoon, I went into the Rainbow and there was nobody in there EXCEPT Lemmy. Sitting at the Mrs Pacman table top. Playing the game and drinking Jack & Coke.
True story.
I jumped the fence that day too, but think it was at the back near toilets Remember it was really hot, don't remember Lemmy playing, I think Big country were on before Queen
(my dad)
I love this story. Thank you.
Now thats a story id tell at any chance giving 😂
"mtv became the thing it set out to fight." couldn't have said it better
So did Metallica
MTV didn't set out to fight anything. And Metallica became the thing it set out to be. The biggest metal band in the world. And TBA was written before they stepped into the studio with Bob Rock. Bob Rock didn't write their songs for them.
Even more so now

Lemmy, as usual, used logic and reason and a sharp wit to show everything that is wrong with the music scene today. His line about MTV is gold.
Lemmy was brutally honest and he was for real, with Lemmy what you see is what you get. No nonsense, No filters and No bullshit.
+Ivan Correa only filters you get with him are on his cigarettes :D
+Gerhard Van Moeseke I never though of that
+Frasse Holm the network actually stopped using 'music television' as its slogan a few years ago. MTV doesn't stand for anything now.

The BS detector was stuck at a reading of 0 in this interview, nothing but the truth from LEMMY, as always.

I drank at the bar with Lemmy early before a Motorhead show back around 2004/5. My buddy and I showed up super early and nobody was in the place so we went over to the adjacent bar and ordered some whiskey's and beers. Some guy was playing the pinball machines in the far dark corner at the end of the long bar.

I always wore a .308 bullet belt and leather jacket to metal shows because of him and the Thrash scene. I didn't ask for a picture or autograph, just sat at the bar and drank with the man and talked. I'll never forget that. RIP Lemmy.
Why is this shit sitting in the comments on every lemmy video?
Got a Vodka and Orange off Lemmy at a gig at Pompey Guild Hall so many years ago I cannot remember....."There ya go kid"
Legend! RIP Lemmy
I met Lemmy in a posh club in London called the Embassy club, in the 80s. I was in a band and our manager took us there to meet some music business people. He didn't buy me a drink, but he was such a friendly guy. Genuine bloke.
Lemmy looked so british without a beard...
He looks like he belongs in a western movie.
Fred Dosan Jesus - I couldn’t figure out what was so different about him ! It must be being 50 bloody 4 . Best Wishes from wessexshire
But the beard make him look even more british
And with the beard he looks like Captain Price if he was in Motorhead
Probably because he is.
"MTV has become the very thing it set out to fight" - GREATNESS!!
"You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever"RIP Lemmy 😢

BUT APPARENTLY I AM
Very very true
when I was 12 or 13, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end when he screamed out "I don't want to live forever!" and I still always yell it along with it.
true story i was 17 yrs old at the time.
they had me do dressing rooms at the march or die tour this was at the old pine knob venue in clarkston michigan
i was a skinny black kid with an afro scared to death .
.I mean everyone one had long hair even the dudes!! but i needed the cash at the time
I didnt know anyone
and this guy was the only one who would take the time out to talk to me an just tell me about how he loved the girls but hated the tour part of it
but he loved his job
he told me he got more joy out of playing in dive bars in front of his friends than big crowds
he said family and good friend is always a better crowd
they dont lie to ya
cuz if you suck they will tell you .
lol i didnt know what the hell he was talkin about at the time.
that was the last time i saw him in 92
his last words to me was...hey kid keep ya motor heads up and ill catch ya on the flip side aye!!
i never will forget how kool he was with me...he even made sure i had food to cuz nobody else did.
just the best dude ever i will never forget that.
miss the guy.
We did take a picture together with one of those old Kodak Polaroids u had to shake the picture to see it lol I still have it.
Good guy
That's cool
thanks for sharing
Good story. Cool you still have your picture. all my stuff I did, were lived, who I've met. I traveled the U.S.A and seen and did everything. I don't have one thing from my life to look at see or touch. Just memories and stories a regular person has a hard time wrappin thier head around it hard believe. I cool you got a good memory and pic of it. CHEERS !!!
That's really cool, man! Especially the part with dive bars and them being more fun to play at in front of your friends. I've never thought of it this way, I've always assumed the bigger the crowd the better as all the energy from the audience just hits you on stage in waves like an orgasm. But then again in said bars, it's a much more personal experience for everyone involved, right? The way Lemmy defines Rock n Roll and the motivation for it resulting in happiness, I can see that some amps, a few blokes you like to hang out with, booze, speed, and a girl willing to jump on your knob are pretty much all the ingredients you'd possibly need to enjoy life to the fullest as a musician of Lemmy's caliber. Not saying I wanna live that way and I don't want to needlessly glorify this kind of lifestyle, it's just that from his point of view it totally makes sense.
Lemmy is 100% genuine
Lenny was such a genuine person. Bigger than life. RIP.
I’m so thankful for UA-cam, the days I need to listen to Lemmy he’s available. Rip Lem, we all miss you man.
'The only people with charisma don't know they've got it.' Very true
Kudos to the interviewer. He seemed to have Lemmy's respect and managed to keep the interview going with not so stupid questions. Also he let the man talk.
Oh how times have changed, went from bands making a name on the road, to making a name on a record, to making a name on the internet.
...to letting someone make you a name
The King of England is dead. RIP my old friend, we'll miss you but we'll never forget you.
The King is dead long live the King.
Holy shit. He looks more kingly than any of the inbred twats currently in Windsor Castle.
@@peachmelba1000 LMFAO! 😂😂
Every word Lemmy speaks drips with gold
Love the way lemmy is so relaxed in this interview, just says it the way it is, cud listen to him all day, still missed very much.
Lemmy & Dio, the 2 true gentlemen of Rock & Roll. Always cordial and willing to sit down and talk about their worlds...
Thank you both for your contributions to Rock & Roll, you both will be sorely missed!
This man talks so much sense.
Some of us are still flying the flag
.
RIP Mr Ian Fraser Kilmister.
100% honesty.. Let me tell you, i learned that being honest takes you a long way, and i learned it from this man.. Lemmy was just that... brutally honest. Liars are assholes, honest people are noble. Thank you Lemmy for you service. We will miss you, but never forget you.
Actually, he had 10 million dollars or so at the time he died. I know its not much considering Lars Ulrichs or James Hetfields 200 million dollars but..still...I would love to die THAT broke.. :D
0Imtheslime0 Honesty IS noble. I’ve also lost people I thought were my friends by being honest. But hey, what the fuck.
a real gentleman... patient with the interviewer....god rest him....
Very smart man, if more people in this world were like him it would be nicer
Lemmy interviews are so entertaining. Such a character. This is a rock star who truly has lived. R.I.P Lemmy
He still makes sense when he talks ,which is a medical miracle.
so if lemmy's case is a miracle, what is it for dave mustaine?
miffification Divine intervention that Mustaine is still alive
miffification did mustaine even do that much?
One word: Ozzy.
lemmy didn't even try crack. ozzy and dave both got tons of the most hardcore drugs. Dave was addicted to 9 different sorts of drugs.
AGENTARMES Thanks for sharing this .... This is Rock-N-Roll history man I appreciate it and I am sure that there are many other rock fans out there that do as well. Have a good one and keep the videos coming!
No problem! Glad U enjoyed the video!
+Revolcisum RIP Lemmy God has gone to God.
+Adrian Lee Lemmy is God!
jlsinner99
Yeah I was waiting for that one to show up.
+Adrian Lee Why would you say something lie that when Lemmy was anti-religion? What an idiot
One of the best Lemmy (peace be upon him) interviews I've come across.
Prob the best Lemmy interview I've seen!!
"Rock and roll is supposed to bring you crazed joy and rebellion for no apparent reason"...Amen Brother! Mission accomplished...
What a great guy. Never heard of Motorhead before his passing and now this musicians words of wisdom are just great. So sad that he left us. So glad that we have his video clips of his sage words on Rock and Roll. RH DSD
Man, Lemmy hit's it right on the head. People who expect every new album to sound like a continued version of the previous one. Tells you a lot about the listeners or the ones who call themselves fans, when they can't get past aesthetics or sound of the band.
What are you even trying to say? A fan has every right to turn on a band if they don't like their new sound, and in Metallica's case they pretty much spat in the face of their hardcore fans by deciding they would be mainstream and rich rather than loved by their real fans. They tried to defend it and say that's not what they were doing but it totally is what they did. The load and reload album were shit because they were shit not because everyone had a grudge on them, every metallica fan bought that album and gave it a chance before turning on them. And seriously everybody saying that getting a haircut doesn't effect music does not get what it meant. If one of them cut there hair no one would care, even if they all did it eventually, But what they did was all cut their hair at once which is like saying we are not the same metallica who wrote the And justice for all album, and they proved it soon after with load. That's why people talk about Metallica being shit once they "cut their hair". They are not actually saying that having less hair makes you less musically talented, That's just when they sold out.
Anybody who knows anything about the band wouldn't be making stupid ass statements like, "they cut their hair, so now they're shit/sellouts/etc." Maybe you ought to read up on why they cut their hair before making a statement like that. As a matter of fact, hop over to reddit and go to /r/metallica and read through some of those discussions.
Are you talking to me? Because I really don't think you read what I wrote properly if you are. They cut their hair at the same time they stopped making good music and meaningful and metal as fuck lyrics. They got alt metal haircuts and started dressing all smart and shit, which is a punch in the face to everyone who loves thrash and speed metal because of early Metallica. Early Metallica is one of the greatest bands in history but I wouldn't cross the street to see them for free these days. If you still think they have the passion they once did for music just look at the napster lawsuit. They actually called their fans that just wanted to hear the music thieves and criminals. They used to live on buses and eat sardines and were happy, now they are fuckin millionaires and they get upset when someone hears them without paying. If you want anymore evidence that they sold out just ask because there is plenty more
drgdegd gedgeg
I`m not making the connection on how to be truly " metal" you have to look like shit. "...dressing all smart and shit" - I lol`d. And get off the Napster thing already. They saw the writing on the wall, moron. Countless bands bit the dust due to album sales tanking and labels going belly up because of P2P. They were the ones that had enough balls to fight for not themselves, but for everybody else. You see what you want to see, like most self-proclaimed "true fans", not reality.
He looks and sounds great for someone who has lived a hard rock and roll lifestyle for as long as he has.
Still think of this man almost every day. RIP brother
I like that way Lemmy sort of laughs. He inhales sharply as though he's going to crack up and then just let's it slide.
It's funny how he's talking about the stuff people hate about music these days, all the way back in around '95 - '96. How MTV was becoming a joke, bands that don't tour, and how touring isn't "fun" anymore.
Really goes to show you that all this stuff it's recent. It's been happening for decades.
Ya. Totally True !
LEMMY HAS DIED AGE 70 12/28/2015, THE GOD OF ROCK, PARTY ON..........
+jetbtkng Didn't Philthy animal Taylor just die too?
Charles Monti ya november 11 this yr about a month ago, suks ass......
+jetbtkng Very sad day...
Scott Weiland died around the same time.
+TheCryptCrusader Scott..
I met Lemmy several times years ago and most people don’t know that he was a very intelligent and compassionate man.
He really cared about people and mankind.
Very great loss to mankind when he died he was so courageous,no one fucked with Lemmy.
R.I.P. Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister
He knew what rock was all about...sorry you had to leave the party.
He didn't disappear though. He just left this party for an even better one.
@@hsdgfasdg5646 brought a tear to my eye, and a lump in my throat. Well said mate!!!!!
I got a vibe on this. The best concerts are the ones that the band gets into it as much as the fans. RIP Lemmy.
“Crazed joy and rebellion for no apparent reason.”
Try selling that in today’s culture of planned, manufactured and marketed music.
Thank you so much for this video. Lemmy was a true icon and I still miss him.
This guy was as cool as Bon Scott and Phil Lynott. That is saying an awful lot. Gonna miss him!
Three of my favorites , couldn’t have said it better.
thin lizzys thunder and lightning is such a motorhead song . ive seen pics with lemmy and phil together . i wish i knew more about their friendship but ive never found either talking about eachother
Legends never die!! \m/
He was actually very friendly with Lynott
@@dallaswinston5906 I've heard Lemmy talking about Philo after his death,you'd know that they were friendly.
It was very much "What a waste etc."
"...heavy metal is rock and roll, it's just a different name."
This was great. Lemmy looks soooooooo young. Thanks for posting. Long Live Lemmy. 👍✌🤘😷🤘
Man Metallica re so lucky.Having your idol,who u once worshipped as god,is praising you and your efforts.Not many people are blessed with this good fortune.
Thanks for sharing this! It's always interesting to see such older interviews. R.I.P Lemmy
Lenny was a one-of-a-kind. I love his music. and his shoes can never be filled!
Awesome, awesome clip man! Thanks for posting this! So much interesting stuff gets cut out for the sake of making an interview more polished. I love these unedited clips.
This is a great interview. Thanks for posting.
Great interview. Thanks for posting this on UA-cam. 👍🏻
The one and only drinking and smoking during the interview. Saw Motörhead three times and met lemmy once he was very humble. Long live Motörhead. 👍
6:43 "Jimmy looks more than me than I do " talking bout James is so wholesome 😭 only a legend like him could refer to him as Jimmy
Lemmy's interviews always have sage advice. He seemed the type that caught on the name of the game early and, and started doing his own thing immediately as a response.
Lemmy was as cool in the flesh as you see on the video. He shouted me a beer one night because I had waited politely to see him. Gave me his autograph and Peter Gill’s as well. I miss him so much.
He told it like it is - no bull, just straight up honest truths - he will be missed
The best frase in live I saw in my life: "We are Motorhead, we play rock'n roll" Thank you Mr. Lemmy. Rest in peace.
Saw him at the Rock and Blues 19 years ago absolutely incredible such a genuine character and totally genuine.
Lemmy is the nicest, most intelligent, honest guys in rock n roll. love you man, get well soon. xxx
"You've gotta be LOUD!" No truer words have ever been spoken lol...
Met him in a sweet shop in Kilburn, London, in late 80s .... he took time to talk and have a laugh - a great man - God Bless Lemmy, RIP
Its really refreshing to see how respectful he is towards his peers dee snyder is a fuckin legend for standing up for free speech and against censorship plus he testified in front of Congress in basically full drag
Lemmy sure reminded me of my dad, hard core whiskey and cigarettes. I am so glad that we have the real warriors, working real hard for the truth. Thank you so much Lemmy!!! Although I never knew you, I wish my dad met you!! Crazy eh? I love your kindred spirits.
To his son as well, hope all is good!
I miss my dad so much too!!
He really was one of the all-time greats. Thanks a lot for uploading this dude.
Thanks for sharing! Loved every second of it. RIP Lemmy
"Heavy Metal IS Rock and Roll. It's just a different name." RIP, Lemmy, we'll keep playing it loud... (And thanks +AGENTARMES for posting this magical, marvelous, honest and historic interview!)
this is a great interview Lemmy is most assuredly a very smart man he told a lot of truth!!
This man was ROCK! He lives on in his brilliant discography! He'll never stop inspiring musicians young and old.
Dude.Im fukn very impressed with that ya decided to share this with me and the world.
You are a good man.
"GOD" owes you a good seat in heaven my good man.Peace be with you son!
Right on brotha, Right on.
gosh he looks so much younger with out facial hair
I didn't even recognize him at first.
'Heavy Metal is rock and roll, its just a name...'
THANK YOU.
Love how he refers to Hetfield as Jimmy....
Wait, he does? :O I must have missed that. That's gold :D
Didn't know him personally but don't you miss him. The most honest man in rock and roll.
Bless him. A total legend and a very good guy. Miss him. Thankfully we still have his music.
I feel like Lemmy and Quint from Jaws hang out and drink whiskey together.
Good call 👍
In a drinking contest Lemmy would win.
Here's to swimmin' with bow-legged women...
Nah - they’d be drinking Narragansett “The Official Beer of the Clam”
This is the best interview of him on the entire youtube. And of anyone in the rock'n roll industry.
