MOTÖRHEAD - "Sometimes The Old Shit Is Better And You Invent Yourself Out Of A Good Time"
October 4, 2009, 15 years ago
MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister is featured in a new interview with KomodoRock.com. An excerpt is available below.
Q: If you look back on your career from when you first started and where you are now. What would you say has changed with you the most? How have you grown and adapted to all this?
Lemmy: "I don’t think I have really. I don’t see that change is always good. A lot of people think that change for some sake is good, but it’s not true you know. Sometimes the old shit is better and you invent yourself out of a good time. I think there’s a lot of that around. People think, “hey! New – young – great!” And it’s not always – sometimes it’s really shit. Like cassette players against vinyls, and then CDs which were indestructible and now we find out actually they’re not, so you get little machines to read your CDs. It’s the industry, you know, it’s inventing itself into new money. I don’t think that’s very clever. And recording isn’t much better. The only thing that’s better is protools and that’s about it.
My attitude hasn’t changed anyway. All businessmen are cunts and apart from that you don’t have to know anything else."
