-RADIO:

-'Loveline is meant for an adult audience.

0:00:560:00:59

'Loveline may contain sexually oriented content.

0:00:590:01:03

'Listener discretion is advised.'

0:01:030:01:05

-'It starts now.'

-'And it is Loveline.

0:01:050:01:08

'That number is 1-800-LOVE-191.

0:01:080:01:12

'Very exciting evening today. Why don't you introduce our guest?'

0:01:120:01:15

'Oh, I don't know.

0:01:150:01:17

'A little guy who started off his career in space rock band Hawkwind

0:01:170:01:20

'many years ago. But you probably know him best for

0:01:200:01:23

'the close to 35 years as the only static member of a band called Motorhead.'

0:01:230:01:27

The image of him holding that Rickenbacker bass is enough to put shivers up my spine.

0:01:270:01:32

I am, of course, talking about the man sitting right next to me, musical icon, Lemmy.

0:01:320:01:36

You romantic fool!

0:01:360:01:38

HEAVY GUITAR RIFF

0:01:380:01:40

The man is the modern Jesus.

0:01:460:01:49

To be honest, he is fucking Jesus Christ.

0:01:490:01:52

Motorhead is my life.

0:01:520:01:54

Without Lemmy, there would be no Metallica, no Megadeth, no Slayer.

0:01:540:01:57

There wouldn't be any of today's heavy metal.

0:01:570:02:00

Rock'n'roll IS Lemmy, Lemmy IS rock'n'roll.

0:02:000:02:02

Rock'n'roll!

0:02:020:02:04

# Hey, baby, don't act so scared

0:02:040:02:06

# All I want is your special care. #

0:02:060:02:08

If I hear Motorhead, I will bang for the whole time.

0:02:080:02:12

Lemmy is God.

0:02:150:02:16

If they drop a nuclear bomb on this planet,

0:02:160:02:19

Lemmy and cockroaches is all that is going to survive.

0:02:190:02:23

# Move over for a damaged case. #

0:02:230:02:26

# Hey, babe, wait a minute stop. #

0:02:320:02:35

Everybody, it's Loveline. Lemmy from Motorhead in the house.

0:02:370:02:41

-Mike Catherwood, paying homage.

-You know it.

0:02:410:02:43

The current CD is called Motoriser, the 24th CD from Motorhead.

0:02:430:02:48

-Amazing.

-Yes, it amazed me all right.

0:02:480:02:50

35 years ago, when you were getting the band started, did you think you would be 25 albums in?

0:02:500:02:55

You don't think like that. You think, two years.

0:02:550:02:57

You just want to play with a couple of guys, that is all it is.

0:02:570:03:01

-And then it goes on, and on.

-And on!

0:03:010:03:04

-Is it true that over 2,000 women you've bedded?

-No, the magazine printed that. I said a thousand.

0:03:040:03:10

-Yeah. That's still pretty impressive.

-Not really, I've never been married and I'm 63.

0:03:100:03:15

Work it out, it's not many a year.

0:03:150:03:17

-Wow.

-I like how he thinks.

0:03:170:03:19

Let's go to calls. Jason is calling from Canada.

0:03:190:03:22

'Lemmy, it is an honour to be talking to you. A true legend.

0:03:220:03:26

'Two quick questions for you.

0:03:260:03:28

'Basically, I would like to know what are your musical influences today?

0:03:280:03:32

'And your favourite place to play a gig.'

0:03:320:03:35

I don't really mind where we play, as long as they go "Hooray".

0:03:350:03:38

-'I think it's cool you're still rocking today. Keep up the good work.'

-I will.

0:03:380:03:43

Don't forget, I'm not qualified to do anything else!

0:03:430:03:47

-'The other question was, what are your musical...'

-Influences, yes.

0:03:470:03:51

He anticipates that one!

0:03:510:03:52

Your influences are the same when you're my age as when you were 20.

0:03:520:03:56

The first things you hear that really knock you out stick with you.

0:03:560:04:00

You're never going to hear any music better than that.

0:04:000:04:03

So it was Little Richard, the Beatles, Elvis, you know.

0:04:030:04:06

I like good old stuff, you know.

0:04:060:04:08

Where were you when you heard that stuff?

0:04:080:04:10

The first time I saw the Beatles, they hadn't made a record yet.

0:04:100:04:13

-You saw them?

-Yes, at the Cavern in Liverpool.

-What was that like?

0:04:130:04:17

It was magic. They WERE magic, you know.

0:04:170:04:19

-Did you think, "This is going to be the greatest rock band of all time"?

-Yes. Kind of, I did.

0:04:190:04:25

We used to get these girls would come down...

0:04:250:04:28

I lived in a holiday resort place in North Wales.

0:04:280:04:31

These girls from Liverpool would come down.

0:04:310:04:33

And every year, there was this singer called Billy Fury, they were crazy about him.

0:04:330:04:37

And then one year, it had all changed.

0:04:370:04:40

It was this Beatles thing, you know.

0:04:400:04:41

So we would hitch-hike up to Liverpool, see what they were like.

0:04:410:04:45

They were monstrous, like, perfect, you know.

0:04:450:04:47

People think the Stones were the hard men and the Beatles the sissies, and it's the opposite.

0:04:470:04:52

The Beatles were from Liverpool and the Stones were from the London suburbs, you know.

0:04:520:04:56

Going to art school and shit. It wasn't that way at all.

0:04:560:05:00

The Beatles, I always thought, were the best band in the world.

0:05:000:05:03

-No, we don't.

-I knew you were going to say that!

0:05:080:05:10

0:06:340:06:36

The Sunset Strip has seen a whole lot of different movements and genres

0:06:370:06:41

and musical versions of the same thing, basically.

0:06:410:06:44

We had a bunch of different musical movements and, first of all,

0:06:440:06:48

Motorhead is one of those bands that transcends movements.

0:06:480:06:51

It doesn't matter what's happening in the community, in the rock culture,

0:06:510:06:56

Motorhead is still hailed as being, like, king.

0:06:560:07:00

When he moved to LA, became part of the scene, he was already embraced.

0:07:000:07:05

Basically, his throne was waiting for him.

0:07:050:07:07

Two cameras, A mark.

0:07:070:07:10

And mark.

0:07:120:07:13

Action.

0:07:130:07:15

Lem, there's somebody I want you to meet. Hank, the writer.

0:07:150:07:18

Obviously, he's not from LA, but it is really interesting to see

0:07:180:07:22

how much of a staple Lemmy has become, especially in Hollywood.

0:07:220:07:25

He has become a Los Angeles icon, you know.

0:07:250:07:28

-Cut.

-I don't know if he does fit in in LA.

0:07:280:07:31

LA is so fucked up,

0:07:310:07:33

he doesn't really fit.

0:07:330:07:35

I think Hollywood has to fit him.

0:07:350:07:37

All we have to do now is do that another 147 times and we're there.

0:07:370:07:41

A lot of people are LA bashers.

0:07:410:07:43

Especially people from up north in San Francisco, that kind of thing.

0:07:430:07:47

That is LA, La-La Land, or whatever they call it.

0:07:470:07:50

You know, it is just a land of pretentious people,

0:07:500:07:54

all that kind of thing.

0:07:540:07:55

There is a real weight to this town, there is a real history to it.

0:07:550:07:58

I think it has got a lot more balls than a lot of big cities, frankly.

0:07:580:08:02

'Lemmy looks like an LA rocker to me.

0:08:020:08:06

'He has got that thing about him.

0:08:060:08:09

'He is combination biker, musician,'

0:08:090:08:13

or guy that works at the car wash.

0:08:130:08:16

He's got that old school LA look.

0:08:160:08:19

'He doesn't change it and I don't think'

0:08:190:08:21

it was created.

0:08:210:08:23

And that is what the good part of LA is, it is

0:08:230:08:26

the people who don't try to be.

0:08:260:08:27

I was in bands when I was a little kid. I came to California to do that.

0:08:270:08:32

I got out here and this guy I knew wanted me to go for an acting part.

0:08:320:08:36

I got that and the next thing you know,

0:08:360:08:38

I was in some theatre group and I didn't know anything about it.

0:08:380:08:41

I realised I was making a little bit of money doing this acting.

0:08:410:08:44

I do, too.

0:08:470:08:49

I doubt we'll get it in this day and time.

0:08:550:08:58

I always figured, my music is very popular, I must be doing something wrong!

0:08:580:09:02

Yes, me too. I grew up with that.

0:09:070:09:09

Oh, it's great.

0:09:130:09:14

Oh, I'm telling you.

0:09:170:09:18

Oh, yeah.

0:09:210:09:22

I worked with him one time on a TV show, he was there.

0:09:300:09:33

And he pulls up in an old Cadillac

0:09:330:09:35

and all of these guys get out in suits and everything.

0:09:350:09:38

He met my son.

0:09:400:09:42

My son at the time was only like three or four.

0:09:420:09:46

Little Richard goes, "Hey, baby!"

0:09:460:09:48

I go to my kid, I say, "Hey, Willie, it's OK to talk to this cat,

0:09:480:09:53

"but don't sit on his lap."

0:09:530:09:55

'Lemmy is like'

0:09:560:09:57

a fucking radioactive cowboy.

0:09:570:09:59

-A hard rock Johnny Cash.

-A biker.

0:09:590:10:02

World War Two chic.

0:10:020:10:04

-He's Black Bart meets Mad Max.

-He's Captain Hook.

0:10:040:10:07

A little bit of cowboy, a little bit of metal.

0:10:070:10:09

Little bit of rock'n'roll.

0:10:090:10:11

He'd be the perfect description of my dream dude, for sure.

0:10:110:10:14

Lemmy's look is something that is probably a little bit

0:10:140:10:17

cultivated from back in the fifties.

0:10:170:10:19

And then added to that,

0:10:190:10:21

some of the shit that he picked up

0:10:210:10:22

along the way... bikers, punk rock, whatever.

0:10:220:10:26

Although he has been around for a long time,

0:10:260:10:28

so maybe some of the punk stuff, they got it from him.

0:10:280:10:31

Describing Lemmy's style is not that easy,

0:10:450:10:48

because from boot to boot, it always changes substantially.

0:10:480:10:53

# Let me tell you, babe

0:10:530:10:56

# What I say is right... #

0:10:560:10:59

He's got a very distinctive and good aesthetic sense.

0:10:590:11:02

He actually will bring me drawings of what he wants.

0:11:020:11:05

# You've got me crazy... #

0:11:050:11:08

If I was to really give it a specific name,

0:11:080:11:11

I would probably say it is like a Western jackboot.

0:11:110:11:14

He likes these boots with a squared-off nose,

0:11:140:11:17

almost military looking.

0:11:170:11:19

Almost like a cavalry kind of boot

0:11:190:11:21

with Motorhead flair to it, of course.

0:11:210:11:25

# What I say is true... #

0:11:250:11:26

We were at a rehearsal place in the Valleys back in the mid-nineties

0:11:260:11:30

and Motorhead was right next to us, rehearsing for a tour.

0:11:300:11:33

Every day, we would see Lemmy out at this video game in the lobby area.

0:11:330:11:37

It was summertime, it was really hot in the Valley,

0:11:370:11:39

and Lemmy was wearing shorts.

0:11:390:11:42

Now if I tell you, he's wearing Daisy Dukes.

0:11:420:11:44

It was like a thong, dude.

0:11:440:11:46

You would walk out of our door

0:11:460:11:47

and the first thing you would see when you walked out of our room

0:11:470:11:50

was Lemmy bent over this machine.

0:11:500:11:53

So it's basically Lemmy bending over with his ass in your face.

0:11:530:11:57

That's a weird scene.

0:11:580:12:00

And we're all wearing shorts, but our shorts are board shorts.

0:12:000:12:03

Finally, you know, I got the balls to walk up to him.

0:12:030:12:06

He's playing the game. I was like, "Hey, man."

0:12:060:12:09

He's like, "Hey, Scott, how are you?"

0:12:090:12:11

I'm like, "We've all been wondering." "What's that?"

0:12:110:12:14

I said, "What's the deal with the shorts? Like, seriously?"

0:12:140:12:19

And I'm thinking, I'm afraid is he going to punch me, what's going to happen?

0:12:190:12:23

He's like, "What? What do you mean?"

0:12:230:12:25

And I said, "They're really short.

0:12:250:12:28

"We see your ass every day, it's kind of weird."

0:12:280:12:31

He goes, "What? It's hot out. These are shorts."

0:12:310:12:33

And he kind of steps back and looks at me and goes,

0:12:330:12:36

"Those aren't shorts. Those are pants. These are shorts. I'm cool."

0:12:360:12:39

And he kind of goes like this, like...

0:12:390:12:42

Like it made absolute sense.

0:12:420:12:44

# So bad baby I don't care. #

0:12:440:12:47

What anyone thinks, what anyone cares, it doesn't matter.

0:12:530:12:56

He's just Lemmy, you either take him or you fucking don't.

0:12:560:12:59

He doesn't give a flying shit whether you do or not.

0:12:590:13:02

There are no words.

0:13:020:13:04

He's Lemmy. It's almost...

0:13:040:13:07

It should be a verb.

0:13:070:13:08

Nobody told him to do

0:13:110:13:13

anything that he wasn't completely natural and comfortable doing.

0:13:130:13:16

And that's rare.

0:13:160:13:17

And that's why I think we respond with respect.

0:13:170:13:21

Because we want to be like that.

0:13:210:13:24

I think he is a renegade.

0:13:240:13:25

There's not that many of them any more. Everybody assimilates.

0:13:250:13:28

You know, go along to get along. To get what they need to get.

0:13:280:13:34

And I don't see Lemmy as that kind of guy.

0:13:340:13:38

I see Lemmy as doing things his way to get where he wants to go.

0:13:380:13:42

And that's attractive, because people don't do that any more.

0:13:420:13:46

# When you move in right up close to me

0:13:560:13:59

# That's when I get the shakes all over me. #

0:14:030:14:07

The thing I remember about Lemmy, which has nothing to do with music,

0:14:100:14:16

is that he was obsessed, and I think he still is, with one-armed bandits.

0:14:160:14:19

You know, the...

0:14:190:14:22

And I can remember

0:14:220:14:23

Dingwalls, the little club in London, very popular, by the canal.

0:14:230:14:28

I think that's probably the first time I ever met him.

0:14:280:14:31

You walked into Dingwalls and just inside was the one-armed bandit

0:14:310:14:35

and, without fail, he would be on that.

0:14:350:14:38

Sometimes all night.

0:14:380:14:40

I don't know if he ever won, but he would play it for hours.

0:14:400:14:43

I've never seen anybody love those things so much.

0:14:440:14:47

They should bring out a Motorhead one-armed bandit.

0:14:470:14:50

And if you get three Lemmies, you win the jackpot.

0:14:500:14:53

# Shaking all over... #

0:14:530:14:55

When it comes to rock'n'roll, you need something to believe in,

0:15:050:15:10

you know?

0:15:100:15:11

Integrity means everything.

0:15:110:15:14

Musically, of course, when you go and see a band

0:15:140:15:17

and you know it's coming from the heart, it touches you even more

0:15:170:15:20

because there's some sort of human connection.

0:15:200:15:22

If you go up and see some robots moving around the stage,

0:15:220:15:25

you might as well go home and play video games.

0:15:250:15:28

But when someone is doing... when someone's playing rock and roll from the heart

0:15:280:15:35

and they really walk it like they talk it, you pay more attention,

0:15:350:15:40

because it makes you feel like a human being, in a way.

0:15:400:15:44

Like, to connect to someone doing something really honest or really true,

0:15:440:15:51

it's important.

0:15:510:15:54

And so, to me, more than any other rock musician...

0:15:540:15:58

I consider Lemmy a legend, you know,

0:15:580:16:01

but to me, more than any other rock musician,

0:16:010:16:05

he is the baddest motherfucker in the world.

0:16:050:16:09

HE PLAYS BASS DRUM

0:16:130:16:15

DRUM RIFF STARTS

0:16:170:16:18

You know what would be cool?

0:16:260:16:28

If I could get one of those lyric sheets?

0:16:280:16:30

When it gets to the instrumentals, there's two 12 bars in a row, OK?

0:16:300:16:33

Let's just check the levels here

0:16:350:16:37

with Lemmy, make sure he can hear himself.

0:16:370:16:40

BASS GUITAR

0:16:400:16:42

HE PLAYS A RIFF

0:16:420:16:43

BASS DROWNS VOICES IN BACKGROUND

0:16:430:16:46

That one little spot where it's on the double chorus...

0:17:360:17:39

-Yeah, it's a double chorus, you know? Fuck!

-For Christ's sake.

0:17:390:17:43

What was Chuck Berry thinking?

0:17:430:17:45

I remember a show in England that I did with Meat Loaf, where the whole show

0:17:450:17:48

was held up because Chuck Berry thought he hadn't been paid when his agent had been paid,

0:17:480:17:53

and wouldn't go on until he had a wad of money.

0:17:530:17:56

He had been fucked so many times, you know?

0:17:560:17:58

In the '50s, there were no rules at all.

0:17:580:18:00

A guy could pull a gun and say, "I'm not paying you, what you going to do?"

0:18:000:18:04

Even in the '60s and late '60s,

0:18:040:18:07

Hendrix got burned fucking blind, you know.

0:18:070:18:09

He never saw any of the money.

0:18:090:18:12

I was outside LAX once, getting ready to get on a plane.

0:18:120:18:15

And this young black guy comes up to me and says, "Hey, I read in an interview that the only person

0:18:150:18:20

"you ever want to meet is Little Richard".

0:18:200:18:23

And I'd always said that.

0:18:230:18:24

I didn't give a fuck about anyone else, it's Little Richard.

0:18:240:18:28

And he goes, "Yeah, he's my dad." I said, "Shut the fuck, really?

0:18:280:18:32

He goes, "Yeah, come here."

0:18:320:18:34

And there's this limo parked up front, and he goes...

0:18:340:18:38

And the window comes down like...

0:18:380:18:39

And fucking Little Richard is sitting right there!

0:18:390:18:42

I'm like, "Oh, my God." And he goes, "Hey, Dad, this guy..."

0:18:420:18:47

And he was like, "What?" He said, "This guy's a musician".

0:18:470:18:50

And he goes, "Oh."

0:18:500:18:51

And the window comes down and he goes, "God bless you!"

0:18:510:18:55

How weird must it have been to be gay and black in Macon, Georgia

0:18:550:18:59

in the '50s?

0:18:590:19:00

-And an amazing singer.

-The best rock'n'roll singer ever.

0:19:000:19:03

I don't know who people consider the originator of rock'n'roll.

0:19:030:19:07

That's who I think it is, Little Richard. He was crazy.

0:19:070:19:10

Him, Elvis and Jerry Lee Lewis. Those three.

0:19:100:19:14

You can't tell who did the first whatever, but between them,

0:19:140:19:18

they started rock'n'roll.

0:19:180:19:19

When you meet the originals, you realise, like,

0:19:290:19:32

of course they're troubadours and renegades.

0:19:320:19:35

They're fucking freaks.

0:19:350:19:37

That's where you got all of the music that was different than anything else, like Little Richard,

0:19:410:19:47

a gay black dude in Macon, Georgia in the '50s.

0:19:470:19:50

What was he gonna do? There was nothing he could do but

0:19:500:19:53

-play rock'n'roll.

-Not going to be a boxer, is he?

-Probably not!

0:19:530:19:56

People said, "Don't you like Prince?", back in the '70s and '80s.

0:20:000:20:03

I said, "No, I've seen Jimi Hendrix".

0:20:030:20:06

He comes on with scarves all over him with a Stratocaster.

0:20:060:20:10

Are you kidding?

0:20:100:20:11

I used to score for Mitch, I used to score dope for him.

0:20:110:20:14

And I used to score acid for Hendrix.

0:20:160:20:18

He was a very fair man.

0:20:180:20:19

I would give him ten trips, and he would give me three and take seven.

0:20:190:20:23

-Very generous.

-But you had to take them then, on the spot.

0:20:230:20:26

Yeah.

0:20:280:20:30

The thing is with acid, they say it doesn't work two days in a row.

0:20:300:20:34

But we found that if you double the dose, it does!

0:20:340:20:37

Gutsy ending.

0:20:580:20:59

Lemmy.

0:20:590:21:01

FINAL CHORD

0:21:130:21:14

-Yeah!

-Yeah.

0:21:160:21:18

-See you, buddy. When are you back? Are you here for good now?

-I'm not away for a while.

0:21:180:21:23

I'll call you when I get back. Let's grab a drink. I haven't been to the Rainbow in ages.

0:21:230:21:27

I had a fight going on with the fucking Darkness, this band, right?

0:21:270:21:31

That's why I called you, because I was sitting there. We went to the show and the show was fun.

0:21:310:21:36

So we went to the Rainbow and we were sitting there, and I'm sitting at a table talking to the singer,

0:21:360:21:41

and he says, "Hey, you recorded a song with Lemmy, right?" I said, "Yeah".

0:21:410:21:45

He said, "We kind of have a little feud going with him right now." I was like, "Why?"

0:21:450:21:49

And he said, "He reviewed our record and he said it was fucking shit."

0:21:490:21:53

And I'm like, "Have you ever met him?" He said no.

0:21:530:21:56

I don't think you had met him before.

0:21:560:21:58

I'm like, "Dude, he's the fucking greatest guy". He's like, "Yeah, well,

0:21:580:22:02

"so I called him a fucking cunt or something in the press."

0:22:020:22:05

I'm like, "Honestly, he's a good dude. You'd like him".

0:22:050:22:09

And I said, "I'm going to take a piss."

0:22:090:22:11

And I fucking got my cellphone and I'm like, "Lem, what are you doing?

0:22:110:22:14

-"Come on up for a drink!"

-So I got the whole of Darkness there.

0:22:140:22:18

When he sees you coming, it was just like, "Oh, fuck me, no!"

0:22:180:22:22

And Lemmy sat down. At first I'm like, "Hey, what's going on?"

0:22:220:22:26

He's like, "You know, I wanted to go to the Darkness gig,

0:22:260:22:28

"but they banned me from the show".

0:22:280:22:30

-And I said, "Have you met Justin, the singer?"

-I talked to him for about half an hour that night.

0:22:300:22:35

-Yeah.

-And you didn't change my opinion one bit!

0:22:350:22:39

# I am the midnight snake to bite your little girls

0:22:580:23:01

# Outside in the distance the city in the fire... #

0:23:010:23:03

The Rainbow Bar and Grill is the most famous restaurant bar

0:23:040:23:10

where musicians and hanger-oners and groupies...

0:23:100:23:14

It's sort of like the place

0:23:140:23:16

to go hunt and the place to die at the same time.

0:23:160:23:20

It's a rocker place.

0:23:200:23:21

If you're a rock'n'roller, you come to the Rainbow.

0:23:210:23:24

If you're not, don't come here.

0:23:240:23:26

# Well lawdy lawdy lawdy Miss Clawdy

0:23:320:23:36

# Girl, you sure look good to me

0:23:360:23:40

# Please don't excite me, baby... #

0:23:420:23:44

In the '90s, for me anyway, Lemmy became synonymous with the Rainbow, because any time

0:23:440:23:49

you'd go there, there he is playing the trivia machine.

0:23:490:23:52

It literally became a joke. Like, "Let's go to the Rainbow

0:23:520:23:55

"and have a drink and say hi to Lemmy," like jokingly, and then Lemmy's there.

0:23:550:23:59

So many tourists come in, especially in summer.

0:23:590:24:02

"Is Lemmy here? Is Lemmy here?"

0:24:020:24:04

He's not here, he's on tour.

0:24:040:24:06

He's got to be one of two places, the Rainbow or on tour.

0:24:060:24:09

Just give Lemmy that game, a Jack and Coke and a cigarette, then he's there forever.

0:24:090:24:13

When people come in here and they go on the game

0:24:130:24:16

and they go, "It says Lemmy up there." "Yeah, Lemmy from Motorhead."

0:24:160:24:19

"No! It can't be." This is the middle of the afternoon.

0:24:190:24:23

Then all of a sudden, here's Lemmy sitting at the bar.

0:24:230:24:26

I've seen everything from chicks welling up

0:24:260:24:29

to the frat guy go, "Oh, my God!"

0:24:290:24:31

It's best when they start crying. It's so cute.

0:24:310:24:34

Anyone that wants a picture, he'll take one.

0:24:340:24:36

Anybody that wants to talk to him, he'll talk to them.

0:24:360:24:39

But you got to let him play his Megatouch first.

0:24:390:24:42

He'll be sitting there playing it.

0:24:420:24:44

Some sort of weird heavy-metal meditation,

0:24:440:24:49

mixed with Jack and Coke and something else that we won't disclose.

0:24:490:24:53

I was a house painter for about three weeks.

0:25:040:25:07

Working for this old gay guy called Mr Brownsword.

0:25:090:25:11

How's that? It's true, too.

0:25:130:25:16

Mr fricking Brownsword.

0:25:160:25:17

It doesn't come any better than that.

0:25:190:25:21

Monty Python couldn't do better.

0:25:210:25:23

Luckily, he fancied my mate and not me,

0:25:230:25:25

so I got to paint the upstairs while he was attacking Colin downstairs.

0:25:250:25:29

I worked at the riding stables in the summer. I worked on the fair

0:25:290:25:32

when the fair came round. What else? I worked in a factory for a while,

0:25:320:25:36

but that was terrible. I grew my hair, so they fired me.

0:25:360:25:39

We had the beach, the sea, the horses, so it was great.

0:25:390:25:43

I had a pretty good childhood.

0:25:430:25:45

I ain't complaining.

0:25:450:25:47

Until they fucking ruined it and put the school in there.

0:25:470:25:50

I had heard before that Lemmy went to school here,

0:25:500:25:53

but I had heard a load of rumours about it first.

0:25:530:25:56

I checked on the internet and found it was true.

0:25:560:25:58

-I heard Lemmy got expelled from this school.

-For what reason?

0:25:580:26:01

Apparently, he was playing his guitar down the Tannoy,

0:26:010:26:04

but I'm not sure if that's true.

0:26:040:26:06

I don't know if he wanted to be a rock star.

0:26:060:26:09

I think it just came naturally. That is how he seems.

0:26:090:26:11

He seems like pure rock.

0:26:110:26:13

# Where you going to go now?

0:26:420:26:44

# All your little life

0:26:470:26:49

# You're chasing all the girls... #

0:26:490:26:51

I saw the Vickers at the Oasis in Manchester, and I thought

0:26:510:26:55

they were excellent, so I went and asked for a job with them.

0:26:550:26:58

# Chatting up the ladies

0:26:580:27:00

# Tickling the fancy

0:27:000:27:02

# Hiring out your charms... #

0:27:030:27:06

We'd be on with the Kinks, the Who, the Hollies.

0:27:060:27:10

We played at South Pier, Blackpool, with the Who.

0:27:100:27:12

And all the audience were chanting "we want the Vickers."

0:27:120:27:16

Roger Daltrey didn't like that.

0:27:160:27:18

They were a damn good band.

0:27:180:27:20

And compare very favourably

0:27:200:27:23

with any of the bands who were bigger,

0:27:230:27:25

like the Who and the Kinks and Manfred Mann and all those people.

0:27:250:27:28

At the time, they were as big in the north as the Kinks were in the South.

0:27:280:27:32

We just toured around the north of England, really.

0:27:320:27:36

We couldn't even get arrested in London.

0:27:360:27:39

North of Birmingham, we were big stars. This was 1965/6.

0:27:390:27:42

We were on £200 a week each, clear.

0:27:420:27:45

That's like £4,000 a week each now.

0:27:450:27:47

We all had Jags. We had a speedboat, for Christ's sake.

0:27:470:27:50

We used to go water-skiing on Windermere.

0:27:500:27:52

It was rock 'n roll with a bit of thump. Very aggressive.

0:27:520:27:56

He would go up to his amplifier and feed his guitar back,

0:27:560:27:59

and he would make them scream.

0:27:590:28:01

When I first joined the Vickers, they were ambitious.

0:28:030:28:06

They settled into this routine of doing the same gigs every year.

0:28:060:28:11

In the end, they became a cabaret show.

0:28:120:28:15

So it wasn't for me.

0:28:150:28:17

He wanted to be in the thick of it in London.

0:28:170:28:20

And we didn't.

0:28:200:28:21

What I really like about the Lemmy mythology is that he used to

0:28:310:28:36

be a roadie for Jimi Hendrix, too,

0:28:360:28:39

which scores a lot of points in my book, man.

0:28:390:28:42

He would rather play an instrument than carry it.

0:28:420:28:47

And so that gives you the idea.

0:28:470:28:49

Just as a resume piece, defining "what is a rocker?",

0:28:500:28:55

he had it to his core, you know.

0:28:550:28:59

The kind of guy that says "If I can't be in the band...

0:28:590:29:02

"I'll carry their equipment".

0:29:020:29:04

He hung out with musicians,

0:29:040:29:06

and he did it continually until people let him play.

0:29:060:29:10

He's really come up the hard way.

0:29:100:29:12

He said one of the most amazing one-liners I've ever

0:29:150:29:18

heard in my life, to me.

0:29:180:29:20

He said I remember before there was rock'n'roll.

0:29:200:29:23

I said "wow, that is a wild thing to say."

0:29:230:29:27

I said, "What do you mean?"

0:29:270:29:29

I'm not going to try and imitate his voice.

0:29:290:29:31

He said "I remember when there were only Rosemary Clooney records.

0:29:310:29:34

"I remember before there was rock'n'roll.

0:29:340:29:36

"There were just your mum's records."

0:29:360:29:39

I think I'm paraphrasing.

0:29:390:29:41

He said something like "then we Elvis and never turned back.

0:29:410:29:44

"We heard rock'n'roll" and said "that's us."

0:29:440:29:47

In the '60s, to get albums and singles,

0:29:470:29:51

I had to go down to the electrical appliance shop,

0:29:510:29:54

and he would order it for me from whatever company.

0:29:540:29:58

He wasn't licensed to do it, it was just a friendly basis.

0:29:580:30:02

He would order them for me and three weeks later, they would come back.

0:30:020:30:06

The Buddy Holly record called Wishing,

0:30:060:30:07

and a Buddy Holly record called Learning The Game.

0:30:070:30:11

Eddie Cochran, Three Steps To Heaven, and Something Else.

0:30:110:30:14

Kids, without knowing it, when they listen to Motorhead, they're getting

0:30:140:30:17

Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Eddie Cochran.

0:30:170:30:20

It was the same thing with the original punk rock guys.

0:30:200:30:23

They were very influenced by that music. A lot of times, the fans don't know that.

0:30:230:30:27

But when they are listing to Ace Of Spades,

0:30:270:30:30

they are listing to Eddie Cochran.

0:30:300:30:32

That's Lem's influence.

0:30:320:30:34

# Well, I taught the weeping willow how to cry

0:30:460:30:51

# And I showed the clouds how to cover up a clear blue sky... #

0:30:510:30:56

It is like what we did when we are were teenagers

0:30:560:30:58

and that is why we played music in the first place.

0:30:580:31:01

The music was so real, so unpretentious,

0:31:010:31:04

that people can't help but like it.

0:31:040:31:06

# A bad little kid moved into the neighbourhood... #

0:31:110:31:15

The genesis of Headcat was somebody wanted me to do one track for an Elvis tribute record.

0:31:150:31:20

I know Lem loves Elvis, as did Jonny Ramone, so I thought,

0:31:200:31:23

wouldn't it be cool to get Jon and Lem on the same record.

0:31:230:31:26

So we went in and we went and did the song.

0:31:260:31:29

Jon went home and we had all the studio time left because we did it so quickly.

0:31:290:31:33

We all knew the same songs by heart, so we said we should do an album.

0:31:330:31:37

So we did.

0:31:370:31:39

# Buys all the rock'n'roll books from the magazine stand. #

0:31:390:31:43

This apartment is like a fucking museum. It is a museum.

0:31:520:31:56

I have seen museums with less shit in them.

0:31:560:31:59

It is one of those things.

0:31:590:32:00

This was available and it was near the Rainbow, you know.

0:32:000:32:05

Because that is the only reference to LA I have ever had.

0:32:050:32:09

All I've ever done is stay at the Park Sunset and come up to the Rainbow.

0:32:090:32:13

Which is what we used to do. He's pretty cool, isn't he.

0:32:130:32:17

That is the Metal Hammer award. Two of them.

0:32:190:32:22

This is a porcelain model of me,

0:32:220:32:26

done by somebody and given to me on the road.

0:32:260:32:28

It is pretty interesting shit. You get given some great stuff.

0:32:280:32:32

The platinum album is from Joan Jett.

0:32:320:32:35

The gold one is from Lita Ford,

0:32:350:32:38

because I wrote a song on that album.

0:32:380:32:40

That's from a festival in Germany.

0:32:400:32:43

And this is my Scottish clan - Fraser.

0:32:430:32:45

And this is my honorary membership in the Rangers.

0:32:450:32:48

There's my action figure.

0:32:480:32:50

You've got to keep these in their original boxes.

0:32:500:32:53

One day, it might be worth as much as 5.

0:32:530:32:57

Silver and gold records for Ace Of Spades.

0:32:570:33:00

This is from Hammersmith Odeon. And this is by a German cat.

0:33:000:33:06

Pretty good, too, huh.

0:33:060:33:09

I wish I hadn't dropped it, you know.

0:33:130:33:15

Why not move?

0:33:160:33:18

For one thing, I'm never going to get a place for the money

0:33:180:33:20

I'm paying here.

0:33:200:33:22

I've got a place that is rent controlled,

0:33:220:33:24

they can't put it up by more than six percent a year,

0:33:240:33:27

so I am still only paying 900 bucks for a block from Sunset.

0:33:270:33:30

I am never going to get a deal like that.

0:33:300:33:33

And I'd rather live around here because I like it around here.

0:33:330:33:37

What's your most cherished possession in here?

0:33:370:33:40

My son.

0:33:410:33:43

He's the only one I have got.

0:33:460:33:48

I mean, I have another one, but I have never seen him,

0:33:480:33:50

so he doesn't count, really.

0:33:500:33:53

Neither have I, no.

0:33:530:33:54

His mother went and found him two years ago,

0:33:540:33:58

says he's five foot tall,

0:33:580:34:00

just like me, and he is a computer fucking programmer, or something.

0:34:000:34:05

She's a social worker, and she's put on a bit of weight,

0:34:070:34:11

so she wears these Paisley smocks.

0:34:110:34:14

She said he put his head in his hands when she told him

0:34:140:34:17

she was his mother, she said she hadn't got a heart to tell him who his father was!

0:34:170:34:21

Probably be out in the parking lot with a fucking pistol.

0:34:210:34:25

But you can't win them all, can you? Where would you put them?

0:34:300:34:33

Yes, but I mean...

0:34:330:34:35

I don't know, I just like stuff. I've always liked stuff.

0:34:350:34:39

Stuff is what happens, you know.

0:34:390:34:40

In your life, you get stuff.

0:34:420:34:44

Then you lose some stuff and you keep some stuff, and then at the end,

0:34:440:34:47

you leave it for some other poor bastard to be saddled with

0:34:470:34:50

it the rest of their lives.

0:34:500:34:51

Don't worry, you'll have all of this shit soon enough.

0:34:540:34:57

I'm looking forward to that.

0:34:570:34:59

I have no doubt, yeah.

0:34:590:35:00

-I'd rather have you than all of that stuff.

-I know, yeah.

0:35:020:35:05

I can never imagine why that is.

0:35:050:35:08

Why would people rather have some gobsmacked human

0:35:080:35:11

instead of a load of money? I've never understood that.

0:35:110:35:14

Money doesn't love you back, does it?

0:35:140:35:16

You can spend it, but it doesn't love you back.

0:35:160:35:19

You can imagine it does.

0:35:190:35:20

I know you met your dad when you were six.

0:35:200:35:23

I met him, too.

0:35:250:35:27

Yes, we met each other at the same time.

0:35:270:35:29

-Funny how that happens.

-Like two ships meeting in the cosmos.

0:35:290:35:33

It's a memory that is all frayed around the edges,

0:35:330:35:35

and all sepia toned.

0:35:350:35:38

-I was sepia then, I was almost see-through, in fact.

-Yeah.

0:35:380:35:42

I just remember tugging at these slim legs in jeans.

0:35:420:35:47

That's me, you see.

0:35:470:35:48

I was very small, so I just saw the legs.

0:35:480:35:52

Then what happened?

0:35:520:35:54

-I don't really remember.

-There was a dope deal.

0:35:540:35:56

I was waiting for some hash to arrive, or something,

0:35:560:35:59

and I was in the kitchen making a piece of toast

0:35:590:36:02

and the small blonde child came in, "you're my dad,

0:36:020:36:07

"I am your son and my mum's in the other room."

0:36:070:36:09

I looked around and there was Tracey,

0:36:090:36:12

babbling like an idiot as usual.

0:36:120:36:14

I don't even know how have he got there, she wasn't in on

0:36:140:36:19

the dope deal because she didn't do drugs, so why was she there?

0:36:190:36:24

-How did she get in there?

-She went looking for you, I know that.

0:36:240:36:28

That's because when I was about four, I was in kindergarten, right.

0:36:280:36:36

Right.

0:36:360:36:37

And there was this other kid that came up to me

0:36:370:36:40

and he said, "I've got a daddy and mummy."

0:36:400:36:43

I said, "I've only got a mummy."

0:36:430:36:46

He said, "you must have a daddy

0:36:460:36:47

"because everybody has a daddy and mummy."

0:36:470:36:50

-So I went home and said...

-Where is my daddy? You bitch?!

0:36:500:36:54

And I got this look like...

0:36:540:36:56

We don't talk about him in this house!

0:36:560:36:58

Then I think, after that,

0:37:000:37:02

endeavours were made to introduce us to each other.

0:37:020:37:06

I didn't want to live with his mother, you see.

0:37:060:37:10

It was only casual sex, really.

0:37:100:37:12

I mean, I like Tracey, she is great and she did a really good job

0:37:120:37:17

bringing him up, up to a point, and he has turned out to be

0:37:170:37:22

a really clever kid, and he is a great musician.

0:37:220:37:24

You have no idea how good he is.

0:37:240:37:26

My mum knew the Beatles, right?

0:37:260:37:29

Yes, she used to go out with John Lennon, didn't she?

0:37:290:37:32

Obviously trying to get to Paul McCartney through him.

0:37:320:37:35

No, she lost her virginity to John Lennon.

0:37:350:37:37

The story I was told by my mum is that George liked her

0:37:370:37:42

and he would shyly, coyly look at her

0:37:420:37:44

when he walked past a bus stop.

0:37:440:37:46

George was standing there, she wasn't interested in George.

0:37:460:37:50

And then, um...

0:37:500:37:52

But I don't know, maybe if she had been interested,

0:37:520:37:55

it would have lasted longer than with John.

0:37:550:37:58

-It didn't last long with John, did it?

-No, it didn't.

0:37:580:38:02

But she always talked about it, she was very smitten.

0:38:020:38:05

But she called you after Paul, not John.

0:38:050:38:09

Yes, that is a strange one.

0:38:090:38:11

She must have been thinking about Paul when she was with John.

0:38:110:38:14

Perhaps she called him Paul and that is why it didn't last.

0:38:140:38:18

-I love you, Paul!

-Yeah!

0:38:180:38:20

We swapped girlfriends twice, didn't we?

0:38:220:38:26

At The Limelight and at Stringfellows.

0:38:260:38:29

We swapped girlfriends one night

0:38:290:38:31

and then did it again two months later.

0:38:310:38:34

A lot of chicks like that, the old man and the son.

0:38:360:38:39

It's like screwing the daughter and the mother at the same time.

0:38:410:38:45

-That kind of thing.

-Yeah.

0:38:450:38:47

Does it ever feel too cluttered for you?

0:38:510:38:54

Yeah. All the time. What do you think?

0:38:540:38:57

Are you shooting the trash can? Fuck off, man.

0:38:570:39:00

You better not put that in...

0:39:000:39:02

-Where is the trash can?

-There.

0:39:020:39:04

I didn't see that, I was looking at that, whatever that is.

0:39:060:39:11

That's a fucking Domino's bargain list.

0:39:110:39:14

'One of my favourite memories of my dad was'

0:39:140:39:17

when I was six years old,

0:39:170:39:19

and I was just learning to play three or four chords.

0:39:190:39:24

He came to visit and as he was leaving, he picked up

0:39:240:39:27

one of the other guitars and started

0:39:270:39:29

playing by the front door, like E major,

0:39:290:39:32

and we just a jammed on that one chord for about 20 minutes.

0:39:320:39:38

And he was just looking right into my face, right into my eyes.

0:39:380:39:43

Just egging me on.

0:39:430:39:45

This is the rhythm, this is the feel, this is how you do it.

0:39:450:39:48

Probably the third time I had ever seen him, something like that.

0:39:530:39:57

So that was a major event in my life.

0:39:570:40:00

The nicest thing he ever said to me was very recently,

0:40:000:40:03

was when you asked him what was the most precious thing in the room,

0:40:030:40:06

and he said, "my son."

0:40:060:40:10

I was kind of blown away by that, I wasn't expecting that response.

0:40:110:40:16

I wasn't thinking he would say that. That was amazing.

0:40:160:40:20

It was wonderful.

0:40:200:40:21

Thank you. This is my son, Paul.

0:40:210:40:24

Not bad for an only child.

0:40:270:40:29

# I'm so lazy... #

0:40:310:40:34

-Go and take it to him.

-That is some size. That's cool.

0:40:400:40:44

I present this tank... LAUGHS

0:40:470:40:50

-Isn't that bad?

-Yeah, it is.

0:40:530:40:55

I served several years in the US Army

0:40:550:40:57

as a special operations soldier,

0:40:570:41:00

both in the Ranger Regiment and special forces

0:41:000:41:03

and have served in Iraq and Afghanistan.

0:41:030:41:06

I know Lemmy is a big military history buff.

0:41:060:41:08

That is my kind of rock and roll connective tissue to the military.

0:41:080:41:15

It was probably Motorhead.

0:41:150:41:17

I would wear Motorhead t-shirts over there,

0:41:190:41:23

in a way stating my own individuality.

0:41:230:41:25

Not to glorify war or to say, war is really cool, or whatever,

0:41:270:41:31

it is what it is.

0:41:310:41:32

It is a function of the human condition.

0:41:320:41:35

Motorhead is good go to war music.

0:41:350:41:39

Most people would know he is a World Wars One and Two historian.

0:41:390:41:42

1916, their first Grammy nomination record,

0:41:420:41:46

that was about World War One.

0:41:460:41:48

He's a collector, in, I would say, war memorabilia in general.

0:41:480:41:53

I remember watching a BBC documentary with him,

0:41:530:41:57

he was showing me an aeroplane, a Messerschmitt or something,

0:41:570:42:00

I'm trying to remember what it was, and he was saying that's wrong.

0:42:000:42:03

I said it was a documentary, they must have researched this shit,

0:42:030:42:06

he brings out three books showing that it wasn't even built then.

0:42:060:42:11

Everybody collects something, right?

0:42:360:42:38

General Malband used to collect elephants.

0:42:380:42:42

Elephants all over his fucking apartment.

0:42:420:42:44

I think my collection is more interesting.

0:42:460:42:50

Luftwaffe Damascus sword.

0:42:540:42:56

See the blade?

0:42:560:42:58

That's Damascus steel.

0:42:590:43:01

That's a Luftwaffe middle dagger.

0:43:010:43:04

That is quite pretty, I think.

0:43:070:43:09

Purely decorational. These are Masonic daggers.

0:43:120:43:17

Look at that.

0:43:180:43:20

That is a nice piece, too. This is from Toledo.

0:43:260:43:30

Not Ohio.

0:43:300:43:31

Look at this fucking thing.

0:43:350:43:37

-What is that?

-British.

0:43:390:43:41

That is British, I think it is from the First World War.

0:43:440:43:48

And this is a German bayonet.

0:43:480:43:51

That's seen action. I always liked the workmanship and the designs.

0:43:540:43:58

They were the last great knife makers,

0:43:580:44:01

the last great sword makers.

0:44:010:44:03

It is a craft in Germany that has largely disappeared.

0:44:030:44:07

Even the American swords were made in Germany.

0:44:090:44:12

In the civil war in America, a lot of German swords were

0:44:120:44:14

used in that war, and up until the First World War.

0:44:140:44:19

I've got Argentinian stuff, Yugoslav, Croat, Slovakian.

0:44:190:44:24

How long has it taken you to amass this collection? Years and years?

0:44:240:44:29

19 years, yeah.

0:44:290:44:31

When I came over to the States, I had nothing.

0:44:310:44:34

So there we are. Come on.

0:44:380:44:40

ENGINE ROARS

0:44:400:44:44

-Thought I'd dress up.

-Yeah, you look good!

0:45:040:45:08

-Good to meet you.

-Scott, nice to meet you. Check it out.

0:45:080:45:14

MP40s, G43, K98.

0:45:140:45:17

That's a nice gun, that.

0:45:170:45:18

-That's a chassis of a 222, isn't it?

-That is a 251.

-251.

0:45:180:45:22

-What was the chassis?

-A 38T.

0:45:220:45:26

-Skoda?

-Right.

-So did you have to restore it?

0:45:290:45:32

Yeah. It's got an original engine in it.

0:45:320:45:36

ENGINE STARTS

0:45:440:45:46

This was actually the smallest tank that the Germans made.

0:45:550:45:59

It was made in Czechoslovakia,

0:45:590:46:01

based on the Skoda design from before the war.

0:46:010:46:04

This was called a Hetzer, a 38T chassis, it was a tank killer.

0:46:040:46:09

This is a big gun for a tank this size.

0:46:090:46:11

It is a 75 millimetre, armour piercing gun, you know.

0:46:110:46:14

This would stop anything, more or less.

0:46:140:46:17

They buried this tank in the ground, right,

0:46:210:46:24

so that all that would be visible would be this,

0:46:240:46:27

just the gun and the top of the tank.

0:46:270:46:30

So they would sit there and wait for you to come along and just kill you.

0:46:300:46:35

Wars are the most interesting times.

0:46:370:46:39

It shows the best and the worst in people.

0:46:390:46:42

You get to find out who your real friends are.

0:46:420:46:45

Ask any of those boys coming back from Iraq, you know.

0:46:450:46:49

Anybody who's watching this film and thinks that you're Nazi,

0:46:490:46:52

what do you want to say to them?

0:46:520:46:54

Well, I've had six black girlfriends, so far.

0:46:540:46:56

So, I'm one of the worst Nazis you ever met, right?

0:46:560:47:00

Imagine going to Nuremberg

0:47:000:47:02

and introducing my girlfriend to the Fuhrer? I don't think so.

0:47:020:47:05

I just dress how I like to dress.

0:47:050:47:08

I don't ask anybody else to do it.

0:47:090:47:12

It's a free country, supposedly.

0:47:120:47:15

I've often said if the Israeli Army had the best uniforms,

0:47:160:47:20

I would collect those.

0:47:200:47:21

But they don't, you know? So there you go.

0:47:210:47:25

It's ridiculous to think that I could be a Nazi.

0:47:250:47:29

I'm about as far from it as you can get.

0:47:290:47:31

Fire!

0:47:330:47:35

-How was that, Lemmy?

-That was great.

0:47:410:47:44

MUSIC: "Silver Machine" by Hawkwind

0:47:560:47:59

I think Hawkwind were really ahead of their time.

0:48:040:48:07

I worship Hawkwind. That is some genius music.

0:48:070:48:10

They were kind of like a prog rock group

0:48:140:48:17

that punks were allowed to like.

0:48:170:48:20

# I, I just took a ride

0:48:200:48:24

# In a silver machine

0:48:260:48:29

# And I'm still feeling mean... #

0:48:290:48:32

It was dangerous rock and roll. It's not choreographed.

0:48:320:48:35

It's not safe, it's not cliched.

0:48:350:48:38

You never know what you are going to see.

0:48:380:48:41

That has got to be good.

0:48:410:48:43

We're a space rock band, so a lot of the music we played

0:48:460:48:49

was around science fiction stories, which we would interpret into music.

0:48:490:48:53

So we were a pretty heavy rock band with nice, flowing electronics.

0:48:530:48:57

People thought we were some sort of hippy, fucking, flower people, and it wasn't true.

0:48:570:49:01

We were a black nightmare.

0:49:010:49:03

We used to lock the doors so people couldn't get out.

0:49:030:49:06

It was a psychedelic experience, and no-one was doing that sort of thing.

0:49:060:49:11

We just used to have this trancey beat going.

0:49:110:49:14

This trancey rhythm, and a strobe going.

0:49:140:49:17

It didn't drive you insane, it's just put you into a trance.

0:49:170:49:21

# I got a silver machine

0:49:210:49:23

# I got a silver machine

0:49:230:49:27

# I got a silver machine... #

0:49:270:49:29

For New Order, the driving sound that Hawkwind had,

0:49:290:49:34

the very pulsing, percussive keyboard sounds,

0:49:340:49:36

we would actually listen to that

0:49:360:49:39

and to try and emulate it in songs like Temptation

0:49:390:49:42

and Everything's Gone Green. We did try and rip off Hawkwind.

0:49:420:49:46

They represented the first counter-culture.

0:49:460:49:48

Alternative. That was all coming up.

0:49:480:49:52

It was a wonderful time to be a kid.

0:49:520:49:54

But mostly, I remember standing at the front,

0:49:540:49:57

drooling at Stacia. The girl with her breasts out,

0:49:570:50:01

which was incredible for a 12 or 13-year-old.

0:50:010:50:04

It was like OUR education.

0:50:040:50:06

We were a bunch of misfits.

0:50:080:50:11

It was like a family, you know. It was like a family.

0:50:110:50:13

We had a huge following, because we would do any gig.

0:50:130:50:17

We would do a gig in London and it would be like a drug dealers' convention.

0:50:170:50:21

Dik Mik and Lemmy was always into a lot of speed.

0:50:210:50:25

Dick was grumpy, because they had been up for a few days,

0:50:250:50:27

and we would get picked up in a van and he would be all grumpy.

0:50:270:50:30

Lemmy would be all surly, and would slam the door and sit down.

0:50:300:50:33

We were in the States touring, and we were in Niles, Michigan,

0:50:330:50:37

on the way to Detroit.

0:50:370:50:39

Niles is on the other side of Michigan from where Detroit is.

0:50:390:50:43

We pulled over at a roadhouse to eat, and I was not hungry,

0:50:430:50:47

being a speed-freak.

0:50:470:50:49

I just got this new camera.

0:50:490:50:51

So, I went prowling around looking for things to film,

0:50:510:50:53

you know, new camera.

0:50:530:50:56

And I conked over the head in this abandoned housing project.

0:50:560:51:00

When I came round, without my camera, without any money,

0:51:000:51:04

and I got back to the road house, and they'd gone.

0:51:040:51:07

They'd dumped me there. What kind of shit is that?

0:51:070:51:11

If one of your band members is missing after you have a meal,

0:51:110:51:14

you just drive off? That's not the way I work.

0:51:140:51:18

So now I'm stuck, so I have to hitch-hike across Michigan.

0:51:180:51:22

I got to my room, crash out for about two hours,

0:51:220:51:24

do the sound check, do the show,

0:51:240:51:26

and then the next day I got busted for speed.

0:51:260:51:31

In jail for two days in Canada, handcuffed to a fucking iron bar.

0:51:310:51:37

Then I get the news that I am going in to Essex County jail.

0:51:370:51:41

With my overalls on, going in to the delousing section.

0:51:410:51:45

Then this guy says, "you are bailed." Thank you.

0:51:450:51:50

Flown to Toronto immediately, do the show,

0:51:500:51:53

four o'clock in the morning, fired.

0:51:530:51:55

Apparently, they only got me out of jail

0:51:550:51:57

because my replacement couldn't make it in time.

0:51:570:51:59

I found Lemmy, in certain ways, quite hard to work with.

0:51:590:52:03

We were in a band where everybody was taking different drugs.

0:52:030:52:06

So you had this disparity between people

0:52:060:52:09

of where they were, and what sort of wavelength they were on.

0:52:090:52:12

I was into psychedelics, pot, and mushrooms, peyote,

0:52:120:52:16

that sort of thing. Pretty calm stuff, you know?

0:52:160:52:20

And Lemmy was more into amphetamines.

0:52:200:52:23

He used to hang the band up because he was never on time to leave in the morning.

0:52:230:52:27

We would have to get up, and catch a flight somewhere,

0:52:270:52:29

and we'd all be downstairs and be waiting to go.

0:52:290:52:32

"Christ, where is he?" And he'd still be in bed.

0:52:320:52:35

"Come on Lemmy, for Christ's sake."

0:52:350:52:37

It did cause a lot of stress within the band.

0:52:370:52:40

All of us got pissed off.

0:52:400:52:41

It wasn't just one or two, we did get pissed off.

0:52:410:52:44

Then he got busted at the border, sort of thing.

0:52:440:52:47

When you're on tour, it's like the last straw.

0:52:470:52:53

It was decided, the majority, the band said, no, enough's enough. That was it.

0:52:530:52:58

When I arrived at the gig and said, "where the fuck's Lemmy?"

0:52:580:53:03

They said, this other guy, Paul Rudolph, was taking his place.

0:53:030:53:09

They'd sacked Lemmy. I mean, I was devastated.

0:53:090:53:14

But I'm the type of person... I keep a lot inside. So...

0:53:140:53:20

I think I just carried on. But I was devastated.

0:53:260:53:29

It was a sad thing, actually.

0:53:290:53:32

Very sad. He was very upset over it.

0:53:320:53:35

And, er... We all were, really.

0:53:350:53:39

It was coming for a long time. It was '70s drugs snobbery.

0:53:390:53:44

They were just doing organic drugs, man,

0:53:440:53:47

and I was doing speed and organic drugs. They didn't like that.

0:53:470:53:50

He hated us for it all. You would, wouldn't you?

0:53:500:53:54

He described me as a sanctimonious, self-righteous asshole.

0:53:540:53:59

I thought, that's all right, that's what he thinks of me.

0:53:590:54:03

I went and screwed three of their old ladies.

0:54:030:54:06

Vengeance is sweet, sayeth the Lord.

0:54:090:54:11

I must admit, I was banging one of them already.

0:54:110:54:14

Before I left.

0:54:140:54:16

But it was a great time.

0:54:160:54:18

I wouldn't have traded it for any other band, ever.

0:54:180:54:21

I would probably have been in that now if they hadn't fired me.

0:54:210:54:24

But there you are.

0:54:240:54:25

It was quite good for him because look where he is now.

0:54:250:54:29

How long have I been on the road? 19 years.

0:54:290:54:32

-19 years?

-Give or take a year.

-Isn't it boring after a while?

0:54:320:54:38

-No.

-Why is there so much violence on the road?

0:54:380:54:41

-Why do you break things?

-What violence?

0:54:410:54:43

I mean, the violence.

0:54:430:54:44

When you start... When you start doing things...

0:54:440:54:47

What fucking violence?

0:54:470:54:49

I don't know what you mean about violence.

0:54:510:54:55

You want to see some violence, baby?

0:54:550:54:57

No, not me!

0:55:020:55:04

Want to do an interview?

0:55:060:55:07

Lemmy was at the beginning of heavy-metal,

0:55:200:55:24

maybe even pre Black Sabbath.

0:55:240:55:25

If they'd said to me, who was the original metal man?,

0:55:250:55:30

it is a toss between Lemmy and Black Sabbath.

0:55:300:55:33

But I would say Lem, and Motorhead.

0:55:330:55:35

It took elements of what existed as heavy metal, mixed it with punk

0:55:380:55:43

and created this frantic, intense, powerful music form

0:55:430:55:46

that went on to define heavy metal as we know it.

0:55:460:55:50

It was brash, in your face,

0:55:500:55:52

it was like getting socked by an overhand right,

0:55:520:55:55

like Mike Tyson in his prime.

0:55:550:55:56

You'd turn the radio on and it was really rancid disco,

0:55:560:56:01

bad boy band pop-music, you know?

0:56:010:56:03

The Osmonds, stuff like that.

0:56:030:56:05

You'd go and see a Motorhead show and it was completely different.

0:56:050:56:08

# The silver-tongued devil, demon lynch

0:56:080:56:13

# I know just what I'm doing

0:56:130:56:16

# I like a little innocent bitch... #

0:56:160:56:20

I could not believe that this, there was a guy singing like that

0:56:200:56:24

on a record, and people were digging it. Whoa!

0:56:240:56:28

We had headlines like the worst band in the world,

0:56:280:56:31

but it was in big letters. Well, I mean, fucking great.

0:56:310:56:35

Cause I didn't give a, well, you kind of care up to a point,

0:56:350:56:39

but the kids were turning up.

0:56:390:56:41

"I want to see the worst band in the world." They must be great.

0:56:410:56:45

'Motorhead was speed music, with three people on speed.

0:56:480:56:51

'Consistency of energy could be contributed to that'

0:56:510:56:54

And our slim figures.

0:56:540:56:56

LAUGHS

0:56:560:56:58

'Everybody tried to be that heavy after that. Nobody's achieved it.'

0:57:000:57:04

We fancied ourselves, Guns N' Roses did,

0:57:040:57:07

but if we could be even close to as heavy as Motorhead,

0:57:070:57:10

we'd be successful.

0:57:100:57:12

'Back when I was young, 19,

0:57:120:57:15

late '70s, early '80s, we were very punk rock.

0:57:150:57:18

I had my little shelf of my old rock records I bought as a kid,

0:57:180:57:23

Steve Miller, Aerosmith, Led Zeppelin, all these bands I used to go see.

0:57:230:57:27

Then punk-rock happened and I saw the Clash and the Ramones

0:57:270:57:30

and my life was changing, all of a sudden, that's the old, in with the new.

0:57:300:57:34

And you'd see someone with long hair, well, he's a hippie.

0:57:340:57:37

I can't listen to that music, Johnny Rotten says...

0:57:370:57:40

And then someone would pull out the Ace Of Spades record.

0:57:400:57:44

Oh, oh, wait a minute.

0:57:440:57:47

This kind of goes against the gospel of the punk rock,

0:57:470:57:51

because they have long hair and it's metal,

0:57:510:57:53

but you put the record on and go, "Damn, man. I'm a Motorhead fan."

0:57:530:57:59

#..playing hide and seek cos I'm a speed freak...#

0:57:590:58:02

'It was their look, it was their attitude, their music.'

0:58:020:58:05

You felt by listening to their records that they didn't fit in.

0:58:050:58:08

You felt that. And when you didn't fit in yourself,

0:58:080:58:11

there was that instant lightning bolt connection.

0:58:110:58:14

"Oh, Shit. They're one of us. They're us."

0:58:140:58:17

INSTRUMENTAL

0:58:170:58:20

I think personally, this tour is the antidote to Simon Cowell

0:58:250:58:30

and all the evil, shit music that he's purveying!

0:58:300:58:32

CROWD CHEERS

0:58:320:58:35

And if there's one man on this tour that embodies

0:58:350:58:37

the spirit of rock and roll more than Lemmy, show him to me.

0:58:370:58:41

Ladies and gentlemen, the great man himself, Lemmy!

0:58:410:58:44

GUITAR INTRO

0:58:440:58:47

INAUDIBLE

0:58:580:59:00

'The Damned split up

0:59:030:59:06

'and Brian James went off and did other stuff.

0:59:060:59:08

'And we thought, could we possibly have a Damned without Brian?'

0:59:080:59:13

"We need someone who can play base."

0:59:130:59:15

So we asked Lemmy, and he instantly said yes. He would do some gigs with us.

0:59:150:59:20

As a laugh, me and Scabby we said,

0:59:200:59:22

"Let's see if he'll play SOS by Abba."

0:59:220:59:25

We thought there was no way in the world, we did it as a joke

0:59:250:59:29

and he said, "Yeah, I'll give that a go." And he played it!

0:59:290:59:32

He played a whole bunch of Damned songs

0:59:320:59:34

and we did one of his, one Motorhead song, we fucking ruined it.

0:59:340:59:38

Yeah, he wasn't pleased about that.

0:59:380:59:40

He said, "I learned all your fucking shitty songs, and you ruined my one."

0:59:400:59:44

One fucking song! You bunch of cunts.

0:59:440:59:46

The great man himself!

0:59:500:59:51

-Killed By Death.

-Metropolis.

-Overkill.

-I Don't Believe A Word.

0:59:550:59:58

Some people might be like, "Killed By Death? That's stupid." I'm like, "No, you're stupid."

0:59:581:00:03

Lemmy is an amazing lyricist, powerful lyricist, smart, sharp.

1:00:031:00:06

'The first lyrics are just so twisted, straight in your face.'

1:00:061:00:10

"Don't talk to me, I don't believe a word."

1:00:101:00:13

"But that's the way I like it, baby, I don't want to live for ever."

1:00:131:00:16

I mean, who can say it better, you know? I mean, that is one of the most prolific lines.

1:00:161:00:20

"You win some, you lose some, It's all the same to me."

1:00:201:00:24

I kind of live by that.

1:00:241:00:25

Fuck Keith Richards.

1:00:251:00:27

Fuck all those dudes that fucking, you know...

1:00:281:00:32

That "survived" the Sixties

1:00:321:00:35

and are fucking flying around on Learjets and, you know,

1:00:351:00:39

living up their gunslinger reputation as they fuck supermodels

1:00:391:00:44

in the most expensive hotel in Paris.

1:00:441:00:46

It's like, "You know what Lemmy's doing?"

1:00:461:00:48

Lemmy's probably drinking Jack and cokes and writing another record.

1:00:481:00:53

Two, three, four.

1:00:531:00:54

'One of the lyrics that Lemmy wrote for me was,'

1:01:011:01:03

"Mama, I'm coming home".

1:01:031:01:05

It's really a haunting feeling because I give someone that doesn't know

1:01:061:01:10

what the situation with my wife and I really is...

1:01:101:01:13

'It's kind of spooky when somebody writes a lyric, when you sing that lyric,'

1:01:131:01:18

and you go, "Fucking hell, it's so close to home, you know?"

1:01:181:01:21

Every time I played it on stage, it's like I get a chill up my spine.

1:01:211:01:25

# Just a clown in a one-horse town

1:01:271:01:29

# In broke-down second-hand car

1:01:291:01:32

# Can you still get it up?

1:01:321:01:34

# Or are we pushing too hard?

1:01:341:01:36

# I think if you ever had a beautiful girl

1:01:371:01:40

# You had to use your MasterCard. #

1:01:401:01:42

Nah, let's go again.

1:01:441:01:45

# Can you still get it up?

1:01:481:01:50

# Or are we pushing too hard?

1:01:501:01:52

# If you wanna get your hands on a beautiful girl

1:01:521:01:55

# You gotta use a MasterCard. #

1:01:551:01:57

-Let's listen to what we have, OK?

-Yeah.

1:01:571:02:00

They're pills. Oooh!

1:02:041:02:06

HE LAUGHS

1:02:061:02:07

-What kind of pills are they? Vitamins?

-No.

1:02:101:02:13

Diabetes. And umm...

1:02:161:02:18

One for...

1:02:201:02:22

blood pressure, I think.

1:02:221:02:23

I mean, I told him, "My blood pressure's just fine.

1:02:261:02:28

"Every time I cut myself, it comes right out."

1:02:281:02:31

OK, lets hear it.

1:02:311:02:33

# Or are we pushing too hard?

1:02:331:02:36

# If you wanna get your hands On a beautiful girl

1:02:361:02:39

# You gotta use a MasterCard

1:02:391:02:40

# There's no excuse for bullshit

1:02:421:02:45

# So don't try to feed me none

1:02:451:02:47

# You better shake some action

1:02:481:02:51

# Bring it on, bring it on... #

1:02:511:02:53

We were sitting around talking, and he asked me about a quad injury.

1:02:531:02:56

I had torn my quad like maybe a year before that.

1:02:561:02:59

He just, out of nowhere, said, "You know when you tore your quad, did you think that was it?

1:02:591:03:03

"Did you think your career was over? Were you finished?"

1:03:031:03:06

And I said, "You know, it went through my head a few times, but I just kept going with it."

1:03:061:03:11

He said, "When they told me I was diabetic and I was really sick with it,"

1:03:111:03:15

which was actually right before he did my song,

1:03:151:03:17

he said, "At first, I thought, 'I'm done. It's all over.' "

1:03:171:03:22

Then he said, "I started thinking about it, and what the fuck am I going to do?

1:03:231:03:29

"I've lived my whole life this way, I've done everything I've done up until now to get to where I'm at.

1:03:291:03:34

"I'm not going to change."

1:03:341:03:35

And the quote that always sticks with me, he said,

1:03:351:03:38

"I do all the stuff that I do drug-wise and drinking-wise and all that stuff,

1:03:381:03:42

"and at the end of the day, I'm too old to find God now."

1:03:421:03:45

I'm touring, man.

1:03:471:03:49

'He wanted us to do a couple of songs with him in the studio.

1:03:581:04:01

'He came in there with a bottle of'

1:04:011:04:04

Maker's Mark Whiskey.

1:04:041:04:07

And I started drinking with him.

1:04:071:04:10

'And we didn't really get much done because we were just drinking.

1:04:101:04:13

And he was like playing guitar and showing me stuff

1:04:131:04:16

and then we'd start drink, drink, drink, drink, drink.

1:04:161:04:20

And...

1:04:201:04:21

the next day, I had to go to a hospital.

1:04:211:04:24

Lemmy gave me alcohol poisoning,

1:04:241:04:26

basically!

1:04:261:04:27

'There's Marlboro Reds,'

1:04:271:04:29

Jack Daniels, speed, strippers and gambling.

1:04:291:04:32

That's what he likes.

1:04:321:04:34

'I remember me sitting down with Zakk

1:04:341:04:36

'and he's showing us Beatle footage and stuff and...

1:04:361:04:40

'he says,'

1:04:401:04:41

"Do you want a Jack Daniels?" Me and Zakk, "Oh, far out."

1:04:411:04:44

So, I remember this, he takes out a fifth of Jack Daniels

1:04:441:04:47

and cracks the seal and then hands it to me,

1:04:471:04:50

so I take a swig off it and hand it to Zakk.

1:04:501:04:53

Zakk takes a swig of it, then he goes to hand it back to Lemmy,

1:04:531:04:56

and Lemmy is opening another fifth for me and another for him.

1:04:561:04:59

It was like having a beer with the guy!

1:04:591:05:01

He wanted us to drink the whole fifth like we're drinking a beer. We're like, "Holy shit! No, no, no!"

1:05:011:05:06

'First time I ever met the guy, he says, "Hello" '

1:05:061:05:10

and proceeds to offer me crystal meth. This is a fucking hard-core dude!

1:05:101:05:14

'I will say this.'

1:05:201:05:22

I've never ever ever seen Lemmy incapacitated by booze or anything.

1:05:221:05:26

I have not seen him fall off the stage,

1:05:261:05:29

I haven't seen him say stupid things,

1:05:291:05:31

I haven't seen his life crumble because of it.

1:05:311:05:34

It would be pretty scary, Lemmy completely sober,

1:05:341:05:39

and on you, man!

1:05:391:05:41

By the law of average, he should have been dead.

1:05:411:05:44

I used to hit it really hard, but he's just... I don't know.

1:05:441:05:48

He's made of fucking iron.

1:05:481:05:51

I don't really want to advertise all that.

1:05:531:05:56

I don't want kids to take any drugs cos of me.

1:05:561:05:58

I don't want them to stay off drugs cos of me, either,

1:06:001:06:02

but I don't want to advertise a lifestyle that killed a lot of my friends.

1:06:021:06:06

OK?

1:06:071:06:08

Here's another question for Lemmy. Jose.

1:06:091:06:12

-'Yeah. Lemmy?'

-Yeah.

1:06:121:06:13

'What do you credit to your longevity?

1:06:131:06:15

'You drink, smoke, party a lot. I want to know what you credit to it.'

1:06:151:06:19

Not dying! That's the secret.

1:06:191:06:22

That's the secret of survival, not dying!

1:06:221:06:25

I don't know, you know.

1:06:251:06:26

-I was lucky cos a lot of my friends didn't make it, you know?

-Yeah.

1:06:261:06:30

And I did. I never did heroin, you see. That was the one.

1:06:301:06:35

I never saw anybody die on anything else.

1:06:351:06:37

When I was about 17-years-old...

1:06:371:06:39

..he said to me,

1:06:411:06:43

"Son, promise me that when you grow up,

1:06:431:06:45

"you know, don't do coke.

1:06:471:06:50

"Please, just don't do coke."

1:06:501:06:52

And I was like, "OK, yeah".

1:06:521:06:54

And he says, "Just do speed. It's much better for you!"

1:06:541:06:57

When you think back in it, Motorhead was the original thrash band.

1:07:021:07:06

Everything about them.

1:07:061:07:08

They played fast, it was gnarly, it was a little loose,

1:07:081:07:11

it had some punk rock, it had metal,

1:07:111:07:13

it had all the elements that we then later perfected and refined

1:07:131:07:17

and then we became part of the Big Four of thrash metal.

1:07:171:07:22

You could definitely say, without Motorhead, there's no Metallica,

1:07:261:07:29

there's no Anthrax, there's no Megadeath, probably no Slayer.

1:07:291:07:32

There could have been those bands, like Anthrax lite or something.

1:07:321:07:36

Man, influenced me big time, as a bass player. Big, big, bit time

1:07:461:07:50

because of the levels of distortion.

1:07:501:07:53

The speed of it all, like, the power of it all

1:07:531:07:56

and the relentlessness of it.

1:07:561:07:58

I can't even begin to say how much of an influence

1:07:581:08:01

Motorhead have been on us,

1:08:011:08:03

on a bunch of different levels.

1:08:031:08:07

I'll give you a list of things that were lifted from Lemmy.

1:08:071:08:10

-Musical level.

-Singing style.

1:08:101:08:13

You know, lyric phrasing, the simplicity, the rhyming. The scheme of it all.

1:08:131:08:18

Attitude.

1:08:181:08:19

Trying to be as cool as Lemmy.

1:08:191:08:21

Motivation and perseverance. Er... The look.

1:08:211:08:25

I mean, his facial hair, in the early days for me,

1:08:251:08:28

was certainly all about that.

1:08:281:08:29

The bullet belt, come on!

1:08:291:08:31

Lemmy, to me, is not just an inspiration,

1:08:311:08:34

but I think he's kind of like the OK sign. You know?

1:08:341:08:39

It's OK to go this far, it's OK to do this.

1:08:391:08:42

It's like he's kicked the door open for a lot of bands

1:08:421:08:46

that were feeling like they wanted more.

1:08:461:08:48

HE PLAYS RIFF FROM ACE OF SPADES

1:08:511:08:54

ATTEMPTS HIGHPITCHED VOCALS

1:08:541:08:56

-COUGHS

-I can't sing that bit.

1:08:561:08:59

I'm like the opposite.

1:08:591:09:01

I have to sing down here.

1:09:021:09:04

You like it lower?

1:09:041:09:05

Yeah.

1:09:051:09:06

-SCOTTISH ACCENT:

-# You take the high mic and I'll take the low mic... #

1:09:081:09:12

-What's up, motherfuckers?

-Hello, sir. Good to see you, brother.

1:09:371:09:41

Good to see you too.

1:09:411:09:43

-Hey, man. What's happening?

-Hey, Lemmy. How you doing, bro?

1:09:431:09:46

Good.

1:09:461:09:48

What do you want to do? I'll do the first one and you do the second one?

1:09:501:09:54

-Yeah.

-Do the third one together or something?

-Sure.

-Or one each?

1:09:541:09:57

You do the high harmony?

1:09:571:09:59

No. Not any more, no!

1:09:591:10:03

I'll grab your balls and you go, "Ahhhh!"

1:10:031:10:06

That's the theory, yeah!

1:10:061:10:08

What ending do you have for Damage Case?

1:10:081:10:11

He stops and I stop and then...

1:10:111:10:14

-And then you're the last....

-How?

1:10:141:10:17

Don't be under any illusion that we know what we're doing.

1:10:171:10:22

Let's see what happens, let's have fun with it.

1:10:221:10:24

It's a freak-out! It goes, one, two, three...

1:10:241:10:27

Is it time to go home yet?

1:10:481:10:50

AUDIENCE: No!

1:10:501:10:52

I didn't think so.

1:10:521:10:53

You can see there's an extra amp up on stage here.

1:10:561:11:02

We have the distinct pleasure

1:11:021:11:05

of inviting on stage with us

1:11:051:11:08

one of our all-time idols.

1:11:081:11:11

And I know the reason

1:11:111:11:14

that Lars is so into music...right?

1:11:141:11:18

He followed him around, pestered him forever,

1:11:181:11:22

I think he even threw up on him,

1:11:221:11:24

something like that.

1:11:241:11:26

Lars is the biggest Motorhead fan on the planet.

1:11:281:11:31

And here's the godfather of heavy metal.

1:11:341:11:38

From Motorhead, the one and only Lemmy Kilmister!

1:11:381:11:43

CHEERING

1:11:431:11:45

Lemmy, Lemmy, Lemmy, Lemmy!

1:11:531:11:57

CROWD: Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy!

1:11:571:12:00

All right.

1:12:001:12:03

# Hey, babe, don't act so scared

1:12:201:12:23

# All I want is some special care

1:12:231:12:26

# On the run from some institution

1:12:261:12:29

# All I need's a little consolation

1:12:291:12:31

# And I can tell by his face

1:12:311:12:34

# I'm all over the place

1:12:341:12:37

# Put me inside this place

1:12:371:12:40

# Move over for a damaged case

1:12:401:12:42

# Hey, baby, don't act so scared

1:12:481:12:51

# All I want is some special care

1:12:511:12:53

# I ain't lookin' to victimise you

1:12:531:12:56

# All I want to do is tantalise you

1:12:561:12:59

# And I can tell by your face

1:12:591:13:01

# That I'm all over the place

1:13:011:13:04

# I'm a total disgrace

1:13:041:13:07

# Move over for a damaged case

1:13:071:13:09

# Move over!

1:13:141:13:15

# Hey, babe, don't turn away

1:13:521:13:55

# I'm here tomorrow, gone today

1:13:551:13:57

# I ain't lookin' to victimise you

1:13:571:14:00

# All I want to do is tantalise you

1:14:001:14:03

# I can tell by your face

1:14:031:14:06

# I'm all over the place

# I'm all over the place

1:14:091:14:11

# Move over for a damaged case

1:14:111:14:14

# Damaged case! #

1:15:071:15:08

CHEERING AND APPLAUSE

1:15:091:15:13

Good job, man.

1:15:161:15:18

Thanks. Good job, good job.

1:15:201:15:24

Yeah!

1:15:241:15:26

Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy!

1:15:301:15:33

AUDIENCE: Lemmy! Lemmy! Lemmy!

1:15:331:15:36

TV: 'Oh, Stacey, you dropped your pom-pom in the water.

1:15:381:15:42

-'I'll get it for you.'

-'I'll come with you'.

-'Me too'.

1:15:421:15:45

'Wait a minute, we don't want to get our sweaters all wet.

1:15:451:15:48

'Better take 'em off. Splash fight!'

1:15:481:15:51

At one point, I hadn't seen Lemmy or the boys for a decade or whatever,

1:16:161:16:20

and I wanted to do a show with them. And surprise, surprise,

1:16:201:16:24

the same dudes are on the crew as when I toured with them in the '80s.

1:16:241:16:28

And here it's the '90s and they go "Hey, how are you doing?"

1:16:281:16:31

I'm like "holy crap". But this is Lemmy.

1:16:311:16:33

It was just like a big family thing, without getting too cliched.

1:16:351:16:38

We love each other, we hate each other,

1:16:381:16:41

we love to hate each other.

1:16:411:16:43

We've done a tour, gone home, come back.

1:16:431:16:45

The first time you see them again, it just feels tight.

1:16:451:16:48

There's not that band/group thing with this lot, they're just friends.

1:16:481:16:53

It's fucking great. What other job can you get paid

1:16:581:17:01

for travelling around the world,

1:17:011:17:03

meeting great fucking amazing people and seeing Motorhead every night?

1:17:031:17:07

# Happy birthday to you

1:17:271:17:31

# Happy birthday to you

1:17:311:17:35

# Happy birthday, dear Roger

1:17:351:17:39

# Happy birthday to you! #

1:17:391:17:43

Eat your cake!

1:17:451:17:47

A year older now.

1:17:471:17:50

What I've seen in rock'n'roll bands that I've been in,

1:17:511:17:54

yeah, the money comes into play

1:17:541:17:56

and then attitudes change

1:17:561:17:57

and they fucking want to act like a rock star.

1:17:571:18:00

Motorhead doesn't do that. Motorhead's in it for the music.

1:18:001:18:05

Motorhead's in it for the fans.

1:18:051:18:07

# Well, we came up from the gutter

1:18:081:18:11

# Wrong side of the tracks... #

1:18:111:18:14

They still have the goal, you know,

1:18:161:18:18

to move this band forward

1:18:181:18:20

and to sound the best and be able to, you know, write good records.

1:18:201:18:25

There's no faking going on here.

1:18:251:18:28

I used to say there's not a fake bone in Lem's body,

1:18:281:18:31

and that really is true.

1:18:311:18:34

I could say the same for Phil and myself as well.

1:18:341:18:37

We're not faking through year after year, you know, pretending,

1:18:371:18:43

and I think that is reflecting out, you know.

1:18:431:18:48

It's like an aura around us, I suppose.

1:18:481:18:51

We've had quite a few people tell us that our music got them

1:19:001:19:03

through particularly low times in their lives.

1:19:031:19:06

It does something to us when we play.

1:19:061:19:08

For some reason, it's great.

1:19:081:19:10

I don't know what it is we do, but it gives a good feeling.

1:19:101:19:13

I guess it's the same for the fans.

1:19:131:19:15

I asked him for his autograph when I was 12.

1:19:291:19:31

He came to my home town with Hawkwind, and he was the only one

1:19:311:19:34

that came out to sign autographs.

1:19:341:19:36

If somebody had said then that I'd be in a band

1:19:361:19:38

with this guy for a quarter of a century, a big rock band,

1:19:381:19:42

I'd have said, "Come on".

1:19:421:19:44

It's a good story to tell,

1:19:441:19:46

because it's inspiring. Anything can happen.

1:19:461:19:48

MUSIC DROWNS LYRICS

1:19:481:19:52

MUSIC STOPS

1:19:551:19:57

Fucking microphone. What's the point?

1:19:571:19:59

FEEDBACK WHINE

1:19:591:20:00

Listen to it.

1:20:001:20:01

Didn't you know it was doing that all afternoon?

1:20:011:20:04

Has nobody tested it before?

1:20:041:20:06

I've done a few gigs with Motorhead

1:20:061:20:09

and done a sound check with him.

1:20:091:20:10

It's so fucking loud, you really can't do much.

1:20:101:20:13

So there's a lot of yelling going on.

1:20:131:20:16

One! Two! Three!

1:20:161:20:20

-Perfect, just a bit more.

-An ear doctor would be amazed

1:20:201:20:23

at just how well Lemmy can hear,

1:20:231:20:25

considering the abuse he gives his ears.

1:20:251:20:28

There's one thing about Lemmy -

1:20:281:20:30

he'll always hear you if you offer him a drink.

1:20:301:20:33

Even if you walk up behind him.

1:20:331:20:35

The loudest band in the world in the Guinness Book of Records.

1:20:391:20:42

That's what people want.

1:20:421:20:44

They want it loud, they want it fast. They want it...Lemmy.

1:20:441:20:47

-Is it loud enough?

-CROWD: No!

1:20:471:20:50

-You want it louder?

-Yes!

-Are you sure about this?

1:20:501:20:53

This is called Killers.

1:20:531:20:57

I remember when we went in to record Power, Corruption And Lies

1:21:081:21:12

in Britannia Row in Islington in London.

1:21:121:21:14

And the people that had been in before us hadn't -

1:21:141:21:19

you're supposed to level the desk when you leave.

1:21:191:21:23

You take the strip off, and you level the desk, put it back to how it was.

1:21:231:21:27

And they hadn't done it, presumably because it was late

1:21:271:21:30

when they finished.

1:21:301:21:31

And I said, "Rotten fuckers. Who was it?"

1:21:311:21:34

They went, "It was Motorhead". I was like "Oh, fucking great!"

1:21:341:21:37

So we put my bass through his channels on the desk,

1:21:371:21:41

and it sounded shit.

1:21:411:21:43

# Another time, another place Another girl... #

1:21:501:21:53

When I think of Motorhead, I don't think subtlety.

1:21:531:21:56

It makes me think of a door blown open.

1:21:561:21:58

His voice is a rasp. It's like eating fucking nails.

1:21:581:22:03

It's kind of more like a wind coming at you.

1:22:031:22:06

It's like someone coming up behind me and spanking my ears.

1:22:061:22:09

Everything starts going grainy.

1:22:091:22:11

It's like being in a sandstorm, basically, that's it.

1:22:111:22:15

It's the aural equivalent of being in a sandstorm, I would say.

1:22:151:22:18

When the lights go down and that motherfucker hits the stage

1:22:181:22:21

and he blows the cigarette out of his mouth, it's game over, man.

1:22:211:22:26

You could drag anybody to a Motorhead show, and they're gonna go...

1:25:111:25:13

Thank you kindly.

1:25:131:25:15

TV: '..Next election, I'm gonna run against you, and I'm gonna win.'

1:26:021:26:06

'All right, Mrs Griffin. You want to take me on? Fine.

1:26:061:26:09

-'But if you plan to beat me, you'll have to...'

-'What is it?'

1:26:091:26:12

'A bee just flew in through the window. Don't move.'

1:26:121:26:15

'Hmm, now look who's mayor.

1:26:171:26:19

'First order of business - free honey for everyone!

1:26:191:26:22

'Yay, Mayor Bee, Mayor Bee, Mayor Bee - ow! Oh, done stung myself.'

1:26:221:26:26

# Lucky there's a family guy

1:26:341:26:37

# Lucky there's a man who positively can do

1:26:371:26:40

# All the things that make us Laugh and cry

1:26:401:26:43

# He's...a...fam...ily...guy! #

1:26:431:26:49

Everything about Lemmy's playing sets him apart

1:27:071:27:10

from other bass players, or for that matter any other musicians.

1:27:101:27:14

The biggest thing is the Rickenbacker and the Marshalls.

1:27:141:27:18

That's the sound I've never heard anybody create on bass.

1:27:191:27:23

And he plays it a lot like some heavy metal guitar players.

1:27:231:27:27

He doesn't play guitar on bass, but it almost sounds like a guitar.

1:27:271:27:31

The basic difference is that most bass players sound like this.

1:27:331:27:36

Whereas I...

1:27:411:27:42

..sound quite different.

1:27:481:27:50

AMPLIFIED SOUND

1:27:501:27:53

Like that.

1:28:311:28:32

I always wanted that sound, but I didn't necessarily know it then.

1:28:321:28:37

It evolves, you know.

1:28:371:28:39

-What would you say, Tim?

-What's that?

1:28:391:28:40

How would you say my bass playing encapsulates my personality

1:28:401:28:44

and my outlook on life generally, in the modern 21st century?

1:28:441:28:49

-The phrase "hammer and tongs" comes to mind.

-Really?

-Yeah.

1:28:491:28:52

-Not a hammer, an anvil.

-Anvil and tongs.

1:28:521:28:56

And hammer. Stuff like that.

1:28:561:28:59

Very hard.

1:28:591:29:00

BOTH TALK AT ONCE

1:29:001:29:05

Actually, he talks one thing that's in one ear and out the other.

1:29:051:29:09

And nobody ever fucking understands a thing he's saying.

1:29:091:29:13

Actually, we're two geezers trying to get along backstage.

1:29:131:29:16

-And everything like that.

-And things like that.

-Or something else.

1:29:161:29:19

Americans usually have a nervous breakdown around now.

1:29:191:29:22

He's dead, isn't he?

1:29:281:29:31

How do you sell a deaf guy a frog?

1:29:311:29:33

How?

1:29:331:29:34

DO YOU WANT TO BUY A FROG?

1:29:341:29:36

Is it still as fun as it used to be

1:29:451:29:47

to go around the world and play concerts?

1:29:471:29:50

Yeah, you know, it's a great job. I recommend it.

1:29:501:29:55

It's almost as good as being a TV interviewer.

1:29:551:29:59

-Are there a lot of groupies backstage?

-Do you see any?

1:29:591:30:03

What makes you the proudest in your career?

1:30:031:30:06

Survival, I think.

1:30:081:30:09

Every year that goes by, I get a bit prouder,

1:30:091:30:11

because we've proved that we weren't the trash band

1:30:111:30:14

that they said we were originally.

1:30:141:30:17

And every year we've survived

1:30:171:30:19

proves it a little bit more, you know.

1:30:191:30:23

You know, like that.

1:30:231:30:25

What keeps you going for 30 years? What keeps you going and going?

1:30:251:30:29

You have a dream when you're a kid.

1:30:291:30:33

And my dream came true, so why stop it?

1:30:331:30:37

Until 2047. Then I might slow down a bit.

1:30:401:30:44

It might be 2048, I don't know.

1:30:441:30:46

I love everything about Lemmy. The music, fucking everything.

1:30:491:30:52

There's nothing not to like about Motorhead.

1:30:521:30:55

It's a band that's got it all.

1:30:551:30:57

They're hardcore, a proper hardcore band.

1:30:571:30:59

They don't like sax and all that shit, they're excellent.

1:30:591:31:03

They're full on, they've always been full on.

1:31:031:31:06

Motorhead set the standard for all the others to follow.

1:31:061:31:08

Every time you see 'em live, they make you deaf.

1:31:081:31:11

I don't have to listen to my wife.

1:31:111:31:15

For about five days out of every year, my wife is totally ignored.

1:31:151:31:20

"Oh, sorry, darling, I can't hear you. I can't hear you.

1:31:201:31:23

"Sorry, I just can't hear you".

1:31:231:31:25

They've made me stone deaf forever!

1:31:251:31:28

# It ain't no crime Rock it

1:33:411:33:44

# Rock it Rock it... #

1:33:461:33:48

That's all right.

1:34:111:34:13

It's the biggest thing that's ever happened to me.

1:34:131:34:17

It's huge. I love that guy.

1:34:171:34:19

-He's so much nicer than I thought he would be.

-Why's that?

1:34:191:34:23

Oh, he's really humble.

1:34:231:34:25

I thought he would be like, "I don't give a shit".

1:34:251:34:27

But when I said "Your music really means something to me,"

1:34:271:34:32

he looked at me and said, "Thank you."

1:34:321:34:34

That really means something to me.

1:34:341:34:36

If you look at him, he's probably very intimidating,

1:34:451:34:47

but this is one of the nicest guys you could ever meet.

1:34:471:34:49

There's so many people that hit him for stuff,

1:34:491:34:53

and just look at him.

1:34:531:34:54

Most people in his position would not pay attention

1:34:541:34:57

to these things. This is a guy who'd go out of his way to help anybody.

1:34:571:35:01

You just see it in his heart.

1:35:011:35:02

When I was married before and we were all on the road together,

1:35:021:35:06

my husband at the time was from Indiana, this redneck kid,

1:35:061:35:12

idolised Lemmy. Huge Motorhead fan.

1:35:121:35:15

So we were on tour with Motorhead,

1:35:151:35:17

and me and Lemmy immediately had this connection,

1:35:171:35:21

and my marriage was heavily on the rocks.

1:35:211:35:24

Lemmy...my husband wouldn't talk to him or anything,

1:35:271:35:30

and Lemmy would just come up

1:35:301:35:32

with T-shirts and be like "Hey, Matt", you know?

1:35:321:35:34

And when we actually separated, he was telling all these people

1:35:341:35:39

in the town we're from, Athens, Georgia,

1:35:391:35:41

a very small town,

1:35:411:35:42

that me and Lemmy were having this affair, blah, blah, blah.

1:35:421:35:46

Eight months later, he died.

1:35:461:35:50

But when I was going through

1:35:501:35:52

all of his things that his mother gave me,

1:35:521:35:55

I found a letter from Lemmy, and he had written him a letter

1:35:551:35:59

saying, you know, "I know at one point, you really liked my band,

1:35:591:36:05

"and just so that you know for the record,

1:36:051:36:08

"Corey and I are really good friends.

1:36:081:36:10

"There's mutual love and respect there.

1:36:101:36:13

"She did nothing but talk about how much she loved you

1:36:131:36:16

"and I would never cross that line, I'm not that type of man."

1:36:161:36:21

And it was just so cute, because when you read the letter,

1:36:211:36:24

it was like, "I know that at one time, you liked me and my band,"

1:36:241:36:28

and it's Lemmy and fucking Motorhead.

1:36:281:36:30

It's so bizarre, but he wrote this beautiful letter to him,

1:36:301:36:35

with the red candle wax and the stamp on the back,

1:36:351:36:39

and sent it to him, you know?

1:36:391:36:40

That type of shit, man.

1:36:401:36:42

It's like, he's a very honourable,

1:36:421:36:46

generous, good, good man.

1:36:461:36:49

He's very much a complex emotional person,

1:36:491:36:52

but there is a kind of distance that he's purposefully put in.

1:36:521:36:56

Do you know what I mean?

1:36:561:36:58

I think a lot of that, from what he tells me, is from his youth.

1:36:581:37:03

He's always had to look out for himself, and he's realised

1:37:051:37:10

that 90% of the time, the only person he can depend on is himself.

1:37:101:37:14

Tell me about the people who've been most important in your life?

1:37:141:37:17

My mother, obviously, because she brought me up on her own.

1:37:171:37:21

And my granny, for filling in during the day. They were really important.

1:37:211:37:25

They really tainted my outlook on things,

1:37:261:37:29

because being brought up by two women is different from having the big, heavy husband in the house.

1:37:291:37:36

So I never got the, "Let's go out and kill some small furry animals."

1:37:361:37:39

I never had that shit going on.

1:37:391:37:42

I just never missed a father

1:37:421:37:43

because I never had one, you know, so I didn't care.

1:37:431:37:46

He was just a miserable little dickhead with glasses,

1:37:461:37:50

and all he ever did for me was walk out on me.

1:37:501:37:52

I think I understand women a lot better than some guys do,

1:37:521:37:56

because women want the same things as guys do,

1:37:561:37:59

they just don't want them for as long.

1:37:591:38:01

Guys want the quick fuck in the alley all their lives,

1:38:011:38:06

whereas girls get tired of that pretty quick. They want security,

1:38:061:38:09

meaning you have to give up everything

1:38:091:38:11

that might be a risk to that security,

1:38:111:38:13

which is why I'm not married.

1:38:131:38:15

My dad once went out with a woman that he really fell in love with

1:38:151:38:19

when he was very young. He must have been about 17.

1:38:191:38:21

And...this girl died of a heroin overdose.

1:38:211:38:28

My dad is anti-heroin.

1:38:281:38:31

He will not have anything to do with someone who is on smack.

1:38:311:38:35

But I think it's because of this girl,

1:38:351:38:38

because he really loved this girl.

1:38:381:38:41

And he found her in the bathtub. He found her dead in the tub.

1:38:411:38:46

And I think that, as I can recall,

1:38:461:38:51

he sat in an armchair for, like, three days.

1:38:511:38:55

He hasn't been able to feel the same way about any other woman

1:38:551:38:59

since that woman.

1:38:591:39:00

And...that might be a part of why he is the way he is.

1:39:001:39:07

I don't miss her any more,

1:39:071:39:08

it's been a long time. 1973. That's a long enough time.

1:39:081:39:12

I can't even...some of the time, you can't even picture her face.

1:39:121:39:17

She was all right. But, you know,

1:39:171:39:20

she died young and left a beautiful corpse. When they do that,

1:39:201:39:25

it's easier to think they were the one. She probably wasn't.

1:39:251:39:28

She was a...she was a mouthy little bitch as well.

1:39:281:39:33

But she was great at the same time.

1:39:331:39:35

For a woman to be really interesting,

1:39:351:39:38

she's got to be something of a bitch, surely?

1:39:381:39:41

Somebody saying yes all the time, that's no fucking good, is it?

1:39:411:39:45

You want somebody who gives you a run for your money.

1:39:451:39:48

No relationship can survive a guy or a girl being in a rock band.

1:39:481:39:52

Unless the other one is also in a rock band,

1:39:521:39:55

and even then it's difficult.

1:39:551:39:57

You're away for six or seven months of the year.

1:39:571:40:00

Nobody will stand for that.

1:40:001:40:01

Either they go with you, which doesn't work, or they sit at home

1:40:011:40:04

and have affairs or take care of the kids, which builds up resentment,

1:40:041:40:08

because they think you're having a whale of a time on the road.

1:40:081:40:12

It can't work. You have to make up your mind between rock and roll

1:40:121:40:15

or your beloved one. Sex only lasts for half an hour at the very top.

1:40:151:40:19

A rock and roll set lasts for an hour and a half,

1:40:191:40:23

so I think we've got that one sorted out.

1:40:231:40:26

Do you ever stop filming?

1:40:281:40:31

Huh?

1:40:311:40:32

It's a pity you haven't got Smell-O-Vision.

1:40:401:40:43

1:42:411:42:44

# It don't matter to me... #

1:42:441:42:46

I just can imagine the party,

1:43:121:43:14

the party for everybody to celebrate his life some day is going to be...

1:43:141:43:18

like a head of state.

1:43:181:43:21

I think he'll be sorely missed throughout the world when he goes.

1:43:211:43:25

But then, I think the way it'll be and the way he would want it,

1:43:251:43:29

there's not going to be many tears shed,

1:43:291:43:31

but mainly what fucking great times we had.

1:43:311:43:34

Do you know what I mean? It's going to be one of those,

1:43:341:43:37

a sad day but also a day where everybody will get together

1:43:371:43:41

and talk about the great fucking times they had with that man and his music.

1:43:411:43:45

I don't know how old he is and I don't care,

1:43:451:43:48

he could be 100 years old.

1:43:481:43:49

The fact that he's up there still doing it

1:43:491:43:51

is an absolute inspiration for us.

1:43:511:43:53

We got nothing to complain about and everything to look forward to.

1:43:531:43:58

This is what I am. This is what I do.

1:44:051:44:09

This is what I'm supposed to do. Right here.

1:44:091:44:13

I'm supposed to be backstage, waiting to go on.

1:44:131:44:19

If your life was a movie, how would you want it to end?

1:44:191:44:22

It should end with a clap of thunder

1:44:241:44:27

and me vanishing off the top of a mountain,

1:44:271:44:30

leaving behind a plaque which says "Fooled you, again". Yeah!

1:44:301:44:36

Something along those lines. But of course, we can't afford the mountain

1:44:361:44:40

and we can't afford the flash powder

1:44:401:44:43

and we can't get the cameras up the slope, right, so there you go.

1:44:431:44:46

You can't have everything, can you?

1:44:461:44:48

Any regrets?

1:44:501:44:51

None. Life's too short.

1:44:511:44:55

CROWD: Motorhead!

Good one this year. Nice one.

1:50:461:50:49

Now fuck off back to your dressing room.

1:50:491:50:52

It was all right, this show, wasn't it?

1:50:531:50:56

Bugger off, Greg.

1:51:021:51:03

In the elevator? Give it a break. Oi!

1:51:031:51:06

Oh, there they are.

1:51:091:51:10

What's the matter with you, pal?

1:51:121:51:14

You want a mouthful of broken teeth or what?
