The UK's only tattoo art magazine, SKIN DEEP is publishing an exclusive interview and photos of Lemmy in Skin Deep Number 78, November 2001. It is on sale 16th October in the UK (a bit later elsewhere but it is available worldwide)

First off, I have uploaded a new Tour Thru Time concert for your listening pleasure. A rare treat straight from lemmy's personal archives. This is the first 45 minutes of Motorhead's concert in Zurich, Swtizerland promoting the Another Perfect Day record. This tour was unique as it represented the only tour to feature Brian "Robbo" Robinson on guitar. Featured on this show were some early classics along with some great tracks from Another Perfect Day that are rarely heard live these days.

The recording is from a soundboard, but it is almost 20 years old. So, there are a few glitches in the tape. But overall this is a great Motorhead live experience and a wonderful chronicle of the band's live show from 1983. Click Here to Enjoy!

I spoke to Phil today and he said that work on the new album is progressing nicely. All of the instrumental portions are almost complete. Next comes the vocals and then the mix. He told me that HHH from the WWF and his wife came to the studio a few days ago so that HHH could add some spoken word that will be used on the new Motorhead album.

We also talked about the Boneshaker DVD. It looks like the release date will be December 17 - just in time for X-mas! They are still tweeking some of the special sections of the DVD. Phil said that the 25th Anniversary show looked & sounded great! I have also been told by SPV that the DVD contains several "Easter Eggs". Be sure to search for the hidden sections to experience the special additions to the DVD.

Due to the current world situation, the tour of South Africa has been postponed until further notice. Motorhead are in the studio right now finishing up their latest album that will be released early next year. Soon afterward they will hit the road in support of this new masterpiece.

During the "Boneshaker" tour, Phil and Lemmy took some time to answer some of the really great questions you all have been sending in. You can check out the questions and the answers by clicking here.

First of all, I have added some really cool new t-shirts to the Motorheadshop. The first is a new version of the classic "Motorhead England" t-shirt. This one features the tour dates from the "Boneshaker" tour and was designed by Lemmy himself!

Next is a t-shirt that celebrates the 25th Anniversary of Motorhead and features Lemmy himself. Adorning the front is the cover to Motorhead's 25th Anniversary "Best Of" collection. The back features all the countries Motorhead toured in relation to the "Best Of" release.

Last but certainly not least is another classic. The awesome cover of "Rock 'n' Roll" is now avialable exclusively through the website. Check them all out by clicking here.

Last Monday the band filmed an episode of "The Drew Carey Show". The episode is scheduled to air October 24th and sees the band performing a version of "Stagefright" with slightly alterted lyrics. Be sure to check it out on October 24th!

Britain's legendary Motorhead has great reason to celebrate! Not only has the band been influencing the gamut of hard music for the past 25 years (ranging from Punk and Hardcore to every extreme of Metal), but also this anniversary season has seen the band appear on some high-profile television events. On April 1st, the band performed their single "The Game" live at WWF's premier wrestling event Wrestlemania X-7 at the Houston Astrodome (the song doubled as the theme music for WWF star Triple H). A week prior to that event, the band made a special appearance with Triple H on the highly successful program Smackdown. This past Monday, September 24, Lemmy Kilmister & crew participated in the filming for an episode of The Drew Carey Show, which is scheduled to air on October 24th.

Throughout the Fall, Sanctuary Records Group's imprint label Metal-Is Records will be re-releasing a dozen key Motorhead titles, each with bonus tracks, essential for any hard music fan's collection. The releases include: All The Aces, No Remorse, Ace Of Spades, No Sleep 'Til Hammersmith, Bomber, Iron Fist , Overkill, Another Perfect Day, Orgasmatron, Rock 'N' Roll, No Sleep At All, The Chase Is Better Than The Catch (The Singles A's & B's). Also in the works is the release of Motšrhead's 25th Anniversary DVD, Live At The Brighton Academy, which is slated to feature guest performances from Brian May (QUEEN), Fast Eddie Clark (ex-Motorhead), Whitfield Crane (UGLY KID JOE) and Doro Pesch (DORO, WARLOCK). The band is furiously composing their next album for the Sanctuary Records Group, which is expected for a Spring 2002 release.

The whole world was left in shock as terrorists attacked america this past week. Thousands of people have died and millions of lives have been affected. Lemmy had this to say about the whole tragedy:

Lemmy Sez:

Since I've been coming to America to tour since 1973, I feel kind of like an adopted American in a lot of ways, and this atrocity hit me too. The cold-blooded way these assassins used passenger flights (and whatever creed these people follow, there were surely some of the same creed among the passengers) is unforgivable.

They need to be certainly identified, and then blasted and razed from the face of the earth. This is one instance where revenge is inevitable - just make sure they're the right guys and then erase 'em. All our condolences to the relatives and friends - all my disgust for the perpetrators.

I have added some cool new stickers and a slick Snaggletooth pin to the items for sale in the Motorheadshop. Have a look by clicking here.

Motorhead will be playing six shows in Sept/October along the west coast of the United States. Recently added are shows in Seattle, Portland and Chico. After the album is finished, the band will then take a journey to play some shows in South Africa and a couple in Greece. See the tour dates page for complete details.

Phil & Mikkey will be flying to Los Angeles around mid September to begin the final phase of the creation of Motorhead's latest disc. They already completed writing several tracks earlier in the year and will continue work here in Los Angeles throughout the balance of September and most of October.

Motorhead will be playing atleast three shows in Sept/October in the Southern California area. Recently added is a show in San Francisco on the 30th of September. After the album is finished, the band will then take a journey to play some shows in South Africa and a couple in Greece. See the tour dates page for complete details.

TotalRock, the UK's only dedicated rock and metal radio station, have enlisted the legendary Lemmy for a one-off appearance on Thursday, July 26th. He'll co-present the hugely popular 'Metal Mayhem' show with regular host and old pal Krusher. The show broadcasts daily between 3-6pm (UK time).

A hero on the metal scene for three decades, Lemmy is not only the man behind the redoubtable Motorhead, but a media celebrity in his own right; he can currently be seen on TV alongside football star Roy Keane and notorious comedian Bernard Manning in a Kit-Kat ad - playing the violin!

TotalRock blasts out live 24/7 on Digital Satellite (channel 885) and through www.totalrock.com to a weekly listenership in excess of 1.25 million; the station covers the whole spectrum of rock and metal.

Described by TotalRock chairman and broadcasting legend Tommy Vance as the "biggest breakthrough for real Rock and Metal music ever", TotalRock's rapidly growing popularity is no surprise, given nu metal's huge youth appeal, punk's present chart success and classic rock's current boom.

I have added the much requested Motorhead baby Tee to the merchandise avilable in the Motorheadshop. In addition, we are now offering the popular "Motorhead England" shirt in in sizes ranging from Medium to XXXXLarge.

Long time Motorhead supporter and founder of the Motorheadbangers, Alan has released his first novel. Here are the details:

Lit, Sevendust and Many Others Honor TWISTED SISTER on Long-Awaited Tribute Album,
Delivered By KOCH Records On August 14th!!

The release of tribute albums has become quite a marketing spectacle, gathering seemingly unrelated artists to pay respect to a common bond, but there was one band that never truly received its proper veneration: Long Island's TWISTED SISTER. Although many tribute albums are devoted to bands that sold outrageous numbers of records, had vast strings of hits and provided influence to certain aspects of music, Twisted Sister is most deserving, as they paved the way for a number of revolutions in rock culture! Finally, recognizing the band's importance, KOCH Records, in cooperation with production/distribution company Shooting Gallery, Inc., is pleased to release 'Twisted Forever' on August 14th!

The album features many of today's hottest artists (ranging from Lit to Nine Days), rock icons in their own right (including Sebastian Bach & Joan Jett), masters of streetwise aggression (such as Sevendust and Vision Of Disorder), as well as leaders of underground extreme movements (like Cradle Of Filth and Nashville Pussy) - an unlikely motley crew of talent to be inspired by the same band! But as Nine Days vocalist John Hampson testifies: "Twisted Sister has actually been a part of my musical world since I was 7 years oldÉ" Even Public Enemy's notorious frontman Chuck D shows his respect: "Angst Anthem music Dee and the boys personify, and obviously some of that rebellion rubbed off on fellow Long Islanders Public Enemy in the game of rap."

Twisted Sister founding member and guitarist JJ French applauds the effort: "All of the artists on this album felt that we made some impact on them. I can honestly say that I am humbled at the work of all of them."

Despite their outrageous costumed guises for which the band became popularized, Twisted Sister actually made extraordinary contributions to rock music as well as pop culture! Screaming out of the NY bar scene in the late 70s, they combined back alley, testosterone driven energy with classic, blues-based rock, creating a formula that not only charged a street-gang mentality among the youth, but also led a campaign of motivation through musical entertainment. And with the onset of the then infant MTV during the early 80s, Twisted Sister's rock anthems expanded to influence freethinking among suburban-area adolescents through entertaining videos depicting Wile E. Coyote¨ situations befalling ultra-conservative parental figures. Singles such as "I Wanna Rock" and "We're Not Gonna Take It" exploded on radio becoming Top 40 commercial hits and granted the band opportunities to embark on worldwide arena tours!

In honor of the band's accomplishments, VH-1 is currently in production of a Twisted Sister 'Behind The Music' special, slated to air in early August. The overwhelming demand for Twisted Sister merchandise and information recently spawned an official website, www.TwistedSister.com, and KOCH's tribute album is a solid statement verifying the band's place in rock history! With all the renewed interest towards 80s rock music, can a Twisted Sister reunion tour be far behind? Only time will tell.

The 16 tracks for this multi-faceted mammoth of a tribute (featuring songs spanning Twisted Sister's entire career) consists of:

Lit - "I Wanna Rock"
Joan Jett - "We're Not Gonna Take It"
Motšrhead - "Shoot 'Em Down"
Nashville Pussy - "The Kids Are Back"
Nine Days - "The Price"
Chuck D - "Wake Up The Sleeping Giant"
Anthrax - "Destroyer"
Overkill - "Under The Blade"
Cradle Of Filth - "The Fire Still Burns"
Vision Of Disorder - "Don't Let Me Down"
The Step Kings - "Burn In Hell"
Fu Manchu - "Ride To Live (Live To Ride)"
Sebastian Bach - "You Can't Stop Rock 'N Roll"
Hammerfall - "We're Gonna Make It"
Sevendust - "I Am (I'm Me)"
Twisted Sister - "Sin City"

In an effort to validate the tribute and bring the band's name into the 21st Century, Twisted Sister has graciously provided its own cover version of the AC/DC classic "Sin City" to close the album. Why? Quoting the immortal words of the ever-charismatic frontman Dee Snider: "You Can't Stop Rock 'N Roll!"
