NEW QUESTIONS Updated June 20,1999
Q: Hey Lemmy; If GOD is all Powerfull and all mighty, can he create a rock so massive, so heavy, that He himself cannot lift it ?? .....Religious man or not ...I figure your my only hope for an answer. P.S. Overnight Sensation ROCKS !! Best one yet!
Lemmy: The thing that immediately occurs is - Why would he?
Q: Why did you and Hawkwind part ways? I love Motorhead as well!!!!
Lemmy: I was fired in 1975!
Q: Lemmy did you right the song 'JAILBAIT' from a past experiance or just something you would liked to have happened?
Lemmy: Jailbail is a VERY personal song!
Q: Where did you get the inspiration for "Lost In The Ozone", from Bastards? It has some of the best lyrics I ever heard.
Lemmy: Thank you. From being bloody miserable in a nautical context!
Q: If the Beatles did a reunion tour and asked you to fill in for John Lennon, would you do it?
Lemmy: No.
Q: Your lyrics are awesome. Will you publish a book of all your lyrics at some point?
Lemmy: Thanks very much. Yes, I hope to.
Q: It is rumoured that Dogstar bassist Keanu Reeves is in fact your illigetimate son. Is there any truth to this rumour?
Yours truly, Reverend Jack
Lemmy: No.
Q: Dear Lemmy, I'm a big fan and I regret missing Motorhead when you played in New York with Dio; I'm sure it was another great show! How was it touring with Dio and what do you think of him and his music?
Lemmy: It was OK. I think he's a great singer, his lyrics could use a little work!
Q: 'Overnight Sensation' gets better every time I listen to it- maybe the most emotionally compelling album you've done yet. Why don't you do more extended instrumental sections and improvisation? You like Bruckner so you must appreciate the effective use of longer songs and repetition. (My wife disagrees).
Lemmy: I think in singles, but I know what you mean.
Q: Lemmy, your last show (I saw you in New York) kind of scared me. Could you please try to smile more while you play? Thanks.
Lemmy: Sorry. If WE scare you, I hope you never get arrested by the NYPD!
Q: How did you know Bon Scott?
Lemmy: I said "Hi, man" - he said "Hi, man", We toured, I watched, he watched, we drank, fell over, etc.
Q: Did you use a fucking dictionary when you wrote Orgasmatron? I had to look up a few or the words. How do you incorporate them into songs? Words like obsequious and sycophant.
Lemmy: Being good at english helps. How about "parrallelogram" in 'Motorhead'?
Q: Did Brian Robertson have a REASON why he refused to play certain Motorhead songs live?
Lemmy: Yeah, but he didn't tell me.
Q: Lemmy! You must be deaf after all these years with loud gigs. Or do you use ear plugs as the guys in Metallica?
Lemmy: I'm not deaf - I can hear you asking me this question, right?
Q: Dear Lemmy, One of my favorite Motorhead songs is "Dog Face Boy". Was this song inspired by anybody you know? (I know a few people that I could relate the song to!)
Lemmy: Phil Campbell - God bless him!
Q: I remember reading an interwiew where you said some very negative things about Amnesty International, although I don`t remember the exact words. Why is it that you like Amnesty (if I remember correctly)?
Lemmy: I'm very suspicious of charitable organisations. It it says 'non-profit' you can bet they mean the supposed recipient!
Q: The dance remix of ACE OF SPADES really sucks ...how the fuck could they do something like that to this holy track?...
Lemmy: 'cos they're assholes.
