February 14, 2011, 13 years ago
Legendary MOTÖRHEAD frontman Lemmy is featured in a new interview with the QMI Agency's Darryl Sterdan. An excerpt is available below.
Q: Congrats on turning 65. Were you as surprised as everyone else?
Lemmy: "Yeah, probably. But I didn't plan on dying to fulfill everybody's expectations."
Q: Are you going to take advantage of seniors' discounts?
Lemmy: "No, I'm spending more. I was in Las Vegas on my birthday. I'm trying to get rid of it before I go. I ain't paying no death duties; I'm going to die broke."
Q: On the new song 'Get Back In Line', you say, "These days most things suck." When were the good old days for you?
Lemmy: "THE BEATLES era. But there's been a lot of good old days. Nowadays, it just seems too regimented -- so many rules and restrictions. You can't even take a s--- without somebody putting the finger on you. It's really weird that people have let themselves be put in this corral. America was built on revolution. What f---ing happened to that spirit? It's gone."
Q: If you were in charge, what's the first thing you'd do?
Lemmy: "Sack everybody and start again. I'd take the money away from the big corporations and hand it out to smaller people. Having everything owned by 10 people isn't good."
