MOTÖRHEAD Guitarist PHIL CAMPBELL Looks Back On Final Tour - "LEMMY Played As Long As He Possibly Could, But It Was Difficult To Watch Sometimes"

Guitarist Phil campbell recently guested on the CATtales podcast (Episode 54) to discuss his post-Motörhead band, Phil Campbell & The Bastard Sons, reflect on Motörhead's final tour and legendary frontman Lemmy's passing in December 2015.

Campbell: "We kind of slowed it down a little bit, but it was still full-on touring compared to what other bands do. Us slowing down was just like full-on for many other bands, so we'd still go on tour for two months anywhere where they would have us. Lem played, basically, like he wanted to do as long as he possibly could, but it was difficult to watch sometimes at the very end."

Back in October 2019, Campbell released a lyric video for the new song "Straight Up", featuring Judas Priest's Rob Halford. The song is featured on Phil's first-ever solo record, Old Lions Still Roar, out now via Nuclear Blast. Watch the video below.

Old Lions Still Roar is released in various formats (slipcase CD, Vinyl, digital). The album features two different covers - a black and white one (CD Slipcase + digital) and a colored one (vinyl).
