Q. Lemmy, May I borrow your bottle of Wool-ite? My Gal Baa-Baa is
thirsty... It was great to meet you in New York, great success on the
"Tour".... - Alonzo, CMC
A. No / What Rotten Luck / Good / Thanks!
Q. A biggie! What happened to the swastika on the spike of the logo's
helmet? Caved in under pressure? It was there on the 'Motorhead album...
Just curious, not a nazi, and not trying to crucify you.
A. Apparently, SOME people thought it offensive, so we dropped it. It wasn't a big thing anyway - it was in the days when a swastika was just old
fashioned & pissed people off. Maybe we should put it back!
Q. What about those rumors of you being the father of Michael Jackson's
supposed child?
A. All lies - I am the fiance of Letoya Jackson & we are very happy to announce that Michael has a stiffy!
Q. This is a bloody important question: Why don't you join forces with Fast
Eddie again? I mean, I've followed your bloody career for fifteen bloody
years and you have never been better than when he was in the band. I met
Phil Cambell in Oct 1995 when you played in Stockholm, and apart from being
a jerk he is a heavy metal guitarist. Motorhead has never been about heavy
metal, Motorhead has always been about the dirtiest damned rock'n'roll band
around. You can't achieve that without Fast Eddie. That is quite obvious
now after the last ten confused years. I have kept on buying your albums,
but I miss him whole-heartedly.
A. Actually, it's 14 confused years. Get over it. What about Brian, poor little devil?
Q. How long will do you think Motorhead will exist and what are you going
to do you become old (older)?
A. Ever so long - and I am already old (older).
Q. Mr. Killmister, do you know where Bulgaria is? And why don't you come
here someday?
A. Yes / Because the bloody promoters didn't invite us yet!
Q. Lemmy, have you and Gene Simmons ever wrote together ?
A. No.
Q. Dear Lemmy, are You want visit Russia? What do you know about
Vladivostok-city? Thank you for your time.
A. I would love to visit Russia, unfortunately the promoters there apparently don't think we're a good risk (see above). I know that
Vladivostok city was an important port in the 1800-early 1900s, especially
for the Chinese/Japanese Trade.
Q. What bands are you listening to at the moment, and what are your all
time favorite bands?
A. Skew Siskin, Motorhead, The Beatles, MC5, The Damned, Motorhead, The Who, ZZ Top, Motorhead, Hawkwind, Eagles, Red-Hot Poker & The Wound
F**kers.
Q. Hello, Lemmy. When you came to Brazil (Monsters '96) you appeared
without your long moustache. What happened with him? Had you experimented
our alcoholic drink, named PINGA or CAIPIRINHA?
A. Shaved it off - obviously! Yes.
Q. Dear Lemmy! I would like to know if You are having any plans for a live
album in near feature?
A. Yes & No
Q. Song words, do you have any, where are they? Should I be worried that my
boyfriend sings Motorhead songs when we have sex?
A. Yes, on the album sleeve. Yes & No... try singing the new album back at him.
Q. Saw you guys at Jackhammers on Nov 8, 1996. You guys rocked the place!
If you ever return to the Chicago area would you consider adding "Love
can't buy you money" to the set? Will you be stopping back in March or
April '97 on your return to the states? Us Chicagoans love ya!
A. Thank you / Yes we did!! / Might or might not or then again... /Hopefully / And thank you, Chicago is a fine city as anybody knows.
Well, that's it for now. We'll be posting more Q+A very soon so keep sending them in.
