Classic Rock Revisited has issued a new interview with MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister, conducted by Jeb Wright. An excerpt is available below.

Q: Which was your favorite decade…the ‘60s, the ‘70s or the 80s?

Lemmy: "Probably the ‘60s because there were hardly any rules and heroin hadn’t shown up so people hadn’t started dying. It was incredibly upbeat and we almost did change the world. I guess that was the best one…the ‘70s were pretty good too. I have been lucky to have been in the right place at the right time."

Q: Did you ever get to meet any of the BEATLES?

Lemmy: I shook hands with George and Ringo a couple of times but I wouldn’t say they would ever remember me.

Q: Did the Beatles really influence Motorhead?

Lemmy: "The Beatles had an influence on everybody. They changed the way you looked at things. You have to realize what an incredible explosion the Beatles were. You really had to be there but I will try to tell you. They were the first band to not have a lead singer in the band. They were the first band to write their own songs in Britain because we always just covered American songs before that. Everybody was singing at the same time and the harmonies were great. The Beatles really turned the whole thing on its head. Daily papers in England used to have an entire page of the paper dedicated to what the Beatles had done the day before. When George died the guards at Buckingham Palace played a medley of George’s songs during the changing of the guard; that sort of thing never happens."
