  • In a special edition of Riverside, Steve Blackwell joins the one and only Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of Motorhead - "a classic example of a heavy metal band" - for an orange juice and a chat about the New Wave of British Heavy Metal: "music your mother shouldn't like".
    This report also features Brian Harrigan - the author of the Encyclopaedia Metallica - discussing the likely origin of such heavy metal staples as head-banging, air guitar and always wearing black.
    The piece ends with an interview with all-female metal band Rock Goddess, aka sisters Jodie and Julie Turner and Tracey Lamb.
    Originally broadcast 13 December, 1982.

    Lemmy helping promote Twisted Sister, by wearing the t-shirt. I don’t think they had a record deal yet.

      He says it here as well: "It used to be called Heavy Rock". He's right too: Heavy Metal mixes hard rock with classical music influences. Motorhead are blues-based, so it's hard rock/rnr really. Nothing wrong with that, it's ALL Rock n' Roll anyway.

    • @Gregbaltzer

      In his book "White Line Fever" Lemmy does call Motorhead Heavy Metal. And when every music festival you play is a metal festival, when the majority of the magazine that feature are metal magazines, when the majority of your fanbase are metalheads, when most of the bands you play with are metal bands, then guess what? You're pretty damn associated with metal. lol

    Lenny said” just because you can play a 1000 notes a minute doesn’t make you good, you can just play 1000 notes a minute”.
    Fast forward to today’s metal, super drop tuned, 1000 notes a minute and just noise. I play thrash and a friend said my style is classic metal.

      It's a redundancy to me. Heavy metal is a subgenre or rock, so heavy metal is still rock music. So heavy rock is just heavy metal. Hardrock to me is the bridge between rock and heavy metal.

    Nu metal was my era as a teenager. Gladly took the torch from old boy and will gladly pass it on. I’m not subject to the bias most people have , they say music isn’t as good anymore but that’s actually because they were teenagers when they listened to music more attentively and shared it with friends and marked new experiences with their fave songs etc. they can’t understand new music with their narrow minds is all.
