MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy Kilmister is featured in an audio interview on Indie 103.1 FM's program Chaos with Full Metal Jackie. Conducted on August 3rd, it is now available at this location.
As previously reported, Rolling Stone recently conducted a Q&A; with Kilmister. An excerpt from the session follows:
Q: Motörizer is Motörhead's 20th studio album. Did you ever think the group would last this long?
Lemmy: "We never had any plan of any kind, really. A lot of people didn't think we would last this long. You don't think like that when you're starting a band — you're just starting a band to see what happens. It's very gratifying to still be around."
Q: What's the biggest difference between writing and recording albums now than when the group did Overkill or Ace of Spades?
Lemmy: "It's like another planet, isn't it? People thought different, people looked different, people did things differently, people philosophized differently about their fate. It was just different. And hasn't changed for the better, y'know? [laughs] Ain't it funny, how things never seem to change for the better? They improve things, and they're always worse!"
Q: How would you compare Motörhead audiences today to 30 years ago?
Lemmy: "They're the same. They're kind of younger now, but we get three generations at our shows. It proves that we were doing it right. We get 13 or 14 year olds at the non-liquor gigs, it's great."
