Lemmy Kilmister - The Man, The Myth, The Mole....Part 1
We here at Bn'R have an odd fascination with Motorhead frontman/bass player Lemmy Kilmister. Perhaps it's his timeless devotion to rock and roll. Maybe it's the fact that he treats his body like Britney Spears treats her reputation. It could be that disgusting mole which for some reason Lemmy has never had removed. More than likely, it is because Lemmy has never flinched in his badassitude. He has not once compromised his reputation or integrity to sell a record. Keep in mind that Motorhead hasn't had a big hit since the eighties, but they are never out of work. They are far too large to be considered underground, but way too cool to be considered mainstream. Craig came across a fantastic article by the Times Online and emailed it to me. There are so many awesome Lemmy-isms, that I felt it was my responsibility to point some of them out. For your viewing pleasure, here is the legend known as Lemmy:Lemmy on the importance of gigs:
"Meltdown, what's that?" he says. "Oh yeah, the Royal Festival Thingy. . . It's just another gig to me, man. We do our best for all our shows."
Lemmy on why Motorhead hasn't evolved:
"We make the same kind of music because we like it," he barks defensively. "What the f*** other reason is there for doing music? Within that envelope, we do push it. We've done tracks where we strayed away from it. But if you have a good idea in the first place, why not enjoy it as that?"
Lemmy never stops:
Lemmy is also a walking advert for smoking, drinking and rock'n'roll excess. Still remarkably lean and nimble, he sports the same greased-back rocker hair he has worn since 1963. Even treatment for a heart murmur in 2003 has barely modified his legendary hedonism, although he admits he goes to bed earlier these days.
Lemmy on his parents, why they fucked, and his mother's ass:
"It takes two in a couple to know what happened and I've only ever heard my mother's side," Lemmy shrugs. "They were young when they got married, at the end of the war, the whole wartime romance thing. She was probably struck by his uniform and his holiness, he was probably struck by her legs and her ass. Who knows?"
Lemmy on Nazis:
A collector of Nazi memorabilia since his Hawkwind days, Lemmy is sometimes assumed to harbour unsavoury right-wing views. It’s a lazy caricature which he does not always bother correcting. “I’m not racist at all,” he argues. “I just like the decorative aspect of the Nazis. I like the pageantry, the pomp. I like a parade. The bad guys always have the best uniforms.”
Stay tuned for Part 2 tomorrow

Fuck you gidget and so called "lemmy". Lemmy doesn't give a shit what people think of him. He keeps his warts to show he's not some doll that the audience can dress up, he's not this little parent-approved pussy like justin beiber. He is Lemmy... Badass, Warts, sex, and Rock n Roll.
