MOTÖRHEAD's Lemmy Kilmister - "I Do Still Drink A Lot - About A Bottle Of Jack (Daniels) A Day"
September 28, 2009, 15 years ago
MOTÖRHEAD legend Lemmy Kilmister spoke with Heath McCoy Calgaryherald.com recently about a number of topics including the much buzzed-about documentary that has been shot about his life, entitled Lemmy: The Movie.
The film will purportedly set the record straight regarding the many myths that have attached themselves to Kilmister's name over the years. These include his status as a "living sex legend," as Maxim magazine declared him to be, (he's said to have bedded over 2,000 women) and his hard lifestyle.
As lifelong Lemmy fan Dave Grohl, of NIRVANA and FOO FIGHTERS fame, once put it: "Lemmy's a living, breathing, drinking and snorting fucking legend. No one else comes close."
"I do still drink a lot," Kilmister admits. "About a bottle of Jack (Daniels) a day."As for the once copious drug consumption? "I steer clear of talking about it," Kilmister snarls.
At this point, Kilmister has only viewed parts of Lemmy: The Movie, but, so far, he likes what he's seen.
He says he's not worried about any personal revelations coming to light that he's not comfortable sharing with the world. "I get to see the final cut before it goes out," he notes.
But he adds: "There's not much about my life I'm uncomfortable with--really."
