I think Lem may've gotten that gag about waiting all morning for a 'Left handed claw hammer' mixed up a little?... I think he actually mean't to say... he was sent for a "Long Weight"... anyway, he can be forgiven for that, cause' Lemmy's the business!
@yellingelk The point is there is no left or right handed hammer its a joke supposed to make you look like a prat when u ask somebody for 1. Like i got asked to go find a litre of tartan paint once lol its pick on the new guy thing.
@DragonHellraiser You don't need to tell me that it's a pick on the new guy thing... I know that, I have a sense of humor... I think you missed my point. You know... "A long Weight"... "A long WAIT"... Anyway... it's not important.
Lemmy is Lemmy, he is not going to go out of his way to speak proper Queen's English for anyone, like I just did there. I understood him fine here, if you don't understand him I'm sure he doesn't give a bloody fuck. Anyway, despite the smokes and drinks, I think the reason he keeps so young and err relatively healthy is basically because he wants to. It's that simple, it's really a mental thing that you should want it. Everything's in the mind anyway.
This interview had to be for VH-1's "Top 100 Hard Rock Bands of All-Time" special, which aired in 2000 I believe.
I remember the clips of Lemmy from this interview airing during that. I must've watched the re-runs of this on VH-1 10 times. It was actually pretty well-done.
Snake Bite Love came out in '98, so figure this interview was in '99 or early '00.
surely those aint lemmys real teeth? if they are then he realy is hard as nails coz u dont do the amount of speed hes done and drunk that amount of booze and coca cola without losin ya teeth!
@boozygrogy&@14:13, So both of you know Metallica's 1st album was recorded in the back of a record store called "Rock n' roll haven" in Clark NJ which was owned by Johnny Z, Beleive me I was there, This was also the home of "MegaForce Records".
5:24-6:05 I agree 100% with Lemmy there, Metallica made the Black album, Load and Re-Load beacuse they wanted to try something different and experiment. Yes, like everyone, I was little suprised with they way they sounded and when I first saw they cut their hair. It's called individualism, not everyone has to be the same!!
Love how he can see the trend of rock n' roll and MTV turning to shit, and this was only the mid 90s?!! He could foresee the shit that was happenning to music . . .. its sad but true :P
Lemmy IS the defintion of rock n fucking roll. we are not worthy. this dude makes us what we are. the elvis of metal and rock n roll he is pure and genuine
I never expected Lemmy to be this smart....he is completely spot on when he says MTV is the thing it started off fighting....Headbangers ball was one of my favorite shows
This comment has received too many negative votesshow
@14:13: "they spent months in England doing an album...the first album" - with all due respect their first album was recorded in upstate New York and they never recorded an album in England.
@AGENTARMES - love him or not if Lemmy says Metallica recorded their first album for months in England, he's wrong :) he almost slipped and said he first met them in 70's. haha. good stuff.
@boozygrogy well... if metallica heard lemmy saying that, they would say: "YEAH, we remember that, in fact all of all albuns were recorded in england. Lemmy, you're god, we love you, can you autograph our matching Motorhead T-shirt"?
@boozygrogy I don't think you caught everything he said, he said they started working on the first album in England, but they were ALWAYS drinking and he saw them DAY AND NIGHT in the boozer, lol, and piss drunk and he doesn't think he ever saw them recording. I guess in all those months they spent most of it drinking, so probably ended up finishing it or STARTING IT in New York, lol.
Thanks so much for this. So interesting to hear Lemmy talk about Metallica in such a great manner. He's very intelligent, which I never expected to be honest.
This is a great interview & fair play to Lemmy for not telling the "interviewer" to FUCK OFF & STOP MENTIONING METALLICA ALL THE TIME. Although, it was nice to hear Lemmy's opinion on Metallica & I completely agree with his opinion on Metallica's change of music. People should not get in the way of music, because music is MUSIC. God Bless Lemmy!
its insane. its like hes reading my mind when hes saying this stuff. its great to know there are still guys in the business that know what its suppose to be about. rock n roll/heavy metal is suppose be just another word for freedom.
this makes me want a fag.
