Jeb Wright at Classic Rock Revisited recently caught up with legendary MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy. An excerpt from the interview is available below:

Jeb: I think Motörhead’s epitaph will be "They kicked ass." How do you explain that America wants you around now? For years they didn’t want anything to do with you.

Lemmy: "Well, that is what we do, we kick ass. As far as the popularity goes, I never saw the point of letting them win. If you let them win then the whole thing was for nothing. You’ve got to prove it. You’ve got to say, 'Yeah, I was here and I shit on your hydrant' – you’ve got to leave your mark."

Jeb: You never did get that hit single in America, though.

Lemmy: "We never did and I think that it is a bit late for that now. The movie did alright, though. It went Gold and it was number one on Billboard; I couldn’t believe it. It’s okay though because I thought I deserved it anyway… Seriously, I’ve always felt that we were a pretty good band and I always have thought that we deserved more attention in America. We’ve been putting albums out here since 1982. If it takes making a movie about one of us to get us more recognition then I say, Let’s do it.'"

Jeb: One of my favorite scenes in the movie is where you talk about how you love your son. His face just really lit up and you can tell that he was shocked that you said that.

Lemmy: "I thought it was great. I thought he should know. I’m not very good at saying things like that to people. I just thought I should say it. British people keep it pretty close to the chest, you know what I mean? That is kind of why I like Americans; they are keen. They are eager to get out there and they want to get the most out of things. They want to find out how things work. It is certainly different than the British, as they are so fucking stuck on their manners. Manners do not make for progress."

According to Artisan News, Lemmy is furious at the Rock And Roll Hall Of Fame, but it's not just because the hall has virtually ignored them.

"Not only that, they even lost my Ace Of Spades tour jacket," says the revered musician. When asked if the HOF organizers voted Motörhead in now, would Lemmy accept the honour? "What honour? They owe me a jacket before I'll even speak to them."
