"Chuck Berry was one of my aboriginal heroes," Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister said backstage at Cleveland's State Theatre afore demography the date and ripping through "Let it Rock" and "Bye Bye Johnny" at an all-star accolade show endure week. Sipping a Jack and Coke, the chat aswell took freewheeling turns into politics, sex and accepted music. "There's beneath and beneath aptitude and added and added gimmick," he said. "I'm appealing fucking harder to impress. You'd accept to exhausted Jimi Hendrix to affect me, and I don't see anybody accomplishing that."
How's activity in L.A.?[I adhere out at] the Rainbow mostly and different bandage clubs. Funny enough, I get hassled for autographs and things. Well, not hassled, but I get asked for it a lot you apperceive these days, but in the bandage club cipher seems to do that. They're so active searching at the tits they apparently don't even apprehension you appear in, which is consistently cool.
Right afterwards I play here, I'm traveling to England and we're call for the new tour, which starts in about four days, and afresh we're accomplishing Britain, Germany, Holland and afresh Belgium, Slovenia. So we're accepting about Europe. We usually do that about this time just afore Christmas.
Some humans I apperceive were afraid you were on the bill for a Chuck Drupe accolade – but if you anticipate about it, it's not absolutely that far off.No it's not. The dejection has consistently been in bedrock & cycle as continued as I've been ar0und. Humans are absolutely impaired about music. They anticipate if they like this thing aboriginal they've got to break with it alone for the blow of their life. You can't accept to annihilation abroad or you're a sissy. It's so dumb. There's so abundant music out there. There's alone two kinds of music I can't stand: rap and opera. Opera because it's too aureate and rap because I just don't apprehend it. I just don't get it.
Where I was in North Wales, it was affectionate of like active in West Virginia: a continued way to go for annihilation important. I acclimated to get my annal by traveling to the bounded apparatus store. They awash abrasion machines and admirers and bits and you were consistently searching for them. There was no TV, no radio in Britain at the time. There was alone Radio Luxembourg and the accession was terrible, so you were frickin' affective your antenna, which didn't work. It was hopeless. Every afternoon I'd apprehend a abundant song and they'd say, "That's by . . . pssssshh [white noise]." So you'd go two weeks afore you begin who the fuck sang it.
When I interviewed Chuck, I mentioned the absolute venues he acclimated to play in the South if he was younger. He teared up and recalled, "My dad said, 'I don't apperceive if we'll reside to see it but one day we will [have an African-American President] – and I acknowledge God that I have."
I would accept said America wasn't accessible for it. And I don't anticipate they were, because they're aggravating to annoyance him down now. I mean, the poor fucker's alone just gotten rid of all that George Bush bits that he left, or is aggravating to. And he's accepting balked by the fucking Congress all the time. I don't apperceive how he's gotten annihilation done. They should be glad. I beggarly the another is Mitt Romney. Please, amuse don't vote for Mitt Romney. Fuck him. Repeal aborticide law is the aboriginal affair he'll do. Fucking monster.
Did you watch the debates?
I couldn't buck it.
What was your access in arena a Chuck Drupe song? No, I'm traveling to play just like Chuck played added or less. I'm traveling to play the British aggression adaptation of two of his songs because, I beggarly the Beatles started it, arena his accepting afresh afterwards he came out of jail. Cipher was arena his stuff. It was like he vanished. Afresh the Beatles came out and the Stones afterwards that. They were both arena Chuck Drupe stuff, which was great. Because I consistently anticipation mods were fuckin' assholes. As it angry out later, we begin even the Who anticipation the mods were assholes, you know. They alone got their hair cut for a publicity gimmick, which formed actual able-bodied for them and fabricated them affluent and famous. But they weren't really. They were a dejection bandage before. One of those songs is "I Got Love If You Wish It," Willie Dixon.
How continued do you see yourself playing?It's added acceptable I would end up arena with the Head Cat because that's a bit added relaxed. Motörhead music takes a lot out of you. Physically, I'll go as continued as I can. I ain't gonna accord it up.
Are you autograph accepting appropriate now?Not appropriate now. I don't accept to yet. We're traveling in next January and February.
When will you address the songs?We address beneath the knife, beneath the fucking alarm every time. That's how we work. If Mikkey [Dee] abutting the band, he was fucking abashed because they all rehearse themselves to death, accepting the songs just right. We just get the riff and as anon as we like the riff we go in and ruin it, adapt it, put words on it. That's it. We usually accomplishment it just as they're allowance the accessory out of the studio.
Do you accept to adolescent bands?Which ones? You accept to ask me a bandage or individuals. I don't generalize.
How about Muse?I've not got abundant to say about them. I've alone heard about two advance and I wasn't impressed. But I'm harder to impress. I saw the Beatles at the Cavern, you know. I saw Gene Vincent reside about 5 times. I was lucky. Humans say, "You're accepting old now." I say, "Yeah, but attending at what you missed." I was a roadie for Jimi Hendrix for seven months, so I'm appealing harder to fucking impress, man. You'd accept to exhausted Jimi Hendrix to affect me and I don't see anybody accomplishing that.
Do you accept achievement somebody new and agitative will appear along?Somebody's apprenticed to appear forth and get the adulation. I don't apperceive if they'll accept the talent. Because these days, it's beneath and beneath aptitude and added and added gimmick. I mean, humans acclaim pyros. You're accepting a bad reception, and afresh vroom. [Everybody goes], "Yeahhh!" It's fucking insane.
It's absorbing you came from a actual pure, aboriginal bedrock & cycle place, but went on to anatomy Motörhead.Well we're authentic in a way. We're still arena bedrock & roll. It's just actual fast, actual loud bedrock & roll. I don't see there's any beneath of bedrock & roll. It still pisses your parents off, that's the capital affair isn't it? "Turn that bits down!" – that's what you wish to hear.
Last Chuck Drupe catechism – what afar him from anybody abroad arena at the time? I admired his attitude, talking to chicks, you know. He's consistently had that smile on his face with the pencil mustache. He was consistently array of a Lothario, you know. He consistently had that allusion in the vocals too if he's talking about chicks. He was consistently a horndog, basically, and so was I.
People accept abandoned that sex is fun. It's the a lot of fun you can accept afterwards laughing. Humans accept abandoned that. It's all baleful serious. AIDS. You can get gonorrhea from a blowjob. So what? That's the accident you accept to take. If you're traveling to accept sex, fuckin' accept sex and be blessed about it. Don't be searching over your accept all the time. It charcoal everything. It takes all the fun out of things so now we can go aback to accepting Protestant nutcases and ban abortions and alone missionary appearance – doggystyle was beatific by the devil, obviously. We'll be Amish.
The Stones are traveling aback on the alley again.Five shows? That's not actual impressive, really. Mind you, I apperceive how they feel. None of us are accepting any younger.
How does it feel to still be arena this physically ambitious music live?
It's what I do. I'm acclimated to it. The day you don't do it, you'll absence it. Whether you like it or not, you'll absence it. So it's just like I can't brainstorm not accepting on the road. I apperceive intellectually there was a time I wasn't in Motörhead, but I can't bethink how it felt. It's been 37 years.
Can you go aback to the abode afore you were a big amount that everybody looked up to?I wasn't a big amount until two years ago if that cine [2010's Lemmy] came out. I was accepted in L.A. because I lived there 20 years. But it took 20 years, because it's alone if that cine came out that humans got to apperceive me beyond the country. Because it went platinum, you know. It was great.
So you're blessed with the film?Oh yeah, as blessed as you're traveling to be with something about yourself. I didn't accept to bastard out of the amphitheater afore the lights came up.
When's the next U.S. tour?We did two U.S. tours this year so we're traveling to accept to attending afterwards the blow of the apple for a bit. Apparently next year sometime.
Since we're in Cleveland – did you appointment the Bedrock and Cycle Hall of Fame?
I went a few years back. It was one of the better wastes of amplitude I've anytime seen. The better allowance there is a allowance boutique isn't it? And they absent my jacket, too. I leant them my anorak and a brace of boots as an display and I didn't get the anorak back, so I'm appealing pissed off about that, too. It was my aboriginal Ace of Spades bout anorak too, from 1980. I was pissed, man. Somebody's cutting it. I apperceive that.
