Radio Metal has just issued a brand new interview with Lemmy Kilmister from MOTÖRHEAD. An excerpt follows:

Radio Metal: You’ve got a new album coming out entitled The Wörld Is Yours. It’s actually a title full of hope. Is this how you feel now after a 35 year career with Motörhead? That the world is yours?

Lemmy (bass guitar/vocals): "No the world isn’t mine, the world isn’t yours either but it’s a nice title! (laughs) Stay optimistic! Well, you know, there is no special meaning behind it. Don’t look for deep meanings with Motörhead. We just think that it’s a good, optimistic title."

Radio Metal: To be honest with you, this new album sounds really inspired. What was your state of mind when you wrote these songs? Were there any differences compared to Motörizer or Kiss Of Death?

Lemmy: "No, it was exactly the same really. But there was one difference: Phil [Campbell, guitar] had to do his bits over the internet because he was in Wales because his dad was very ill and he died. So we had to do it by mail and he recorded his guitar by mail. It worked out alright though."

Radio Metal: "There’s a song entitled 'Rock N Roll Music'. It’s obviously a celebration of rock‘n’roll and we can hear you sing that rock’n’roll will save our soul and set us free. Do you think that if people are so depressed nowadays it is because they don’t listen enough to rock’n’roll?

Lemmy: "When they did it was a lot more cheerful wasn’t it? Before they started believing and investing in banks, you know? (Laughs) I mean, it’s a much better idea to listen to some rock ‘n roll and dance than to sit around the fucking computer, losing your money."
