Lemmy surprises Rob Halford of Judas Priest on A&E’s Private Sessions.

You can expect killer live performances of Priest classics, as well as a visit from Lemmy Kilmister himself.

More info and viewing schedules via A&E Private Sessions.

Lemmy! For LP.

Even when he’s flashing a smile and his nipple in a pink-tinged 1980’s glamour shot, Lemmy is still 49% Motherfucker and 51% Son-Of-A-Bitch. Take that Nickelback.

Lemmy shows us the real reason why any guy decided to become a rock star.

Lemmy Kilmister, Ozzy Osbourne, Bruce Kulick and Andrew W.K. are only a few of the rockers that contributed to the upcoming book “Sex Tips From Rock Star“, by author Paul Miles.

Sex Tips is due out in July.

Lemmy Kilmister. Always trust a man with a beer held upright.

Lemmy Kilmister sat down with Crypt Magazine recently and gave a lenthgy interview with topic ranging from President Obama, Sarah Palin and why the Internet will be the “death of humanity”. Here are a couple of highlights:

Lemmy on Politics:

I think Obama is in a very difficult place. Because he’s getting stooped every fucking time he turns around, right? Because you kept Republicans in the government; that was a mistake obviously.He should have had Dick Cheney as his running mate; I’m sure that would have been more popular than Joe Biden. Sarah Palin, she’s the one that impresses me. Jesus Christ, cookoo. What’s the point of even talking to the woman, she’s like nuts. The fucking woman’s a flake.

Lemmy on why the Internet is going to fucking kill us:

They’re gonna be the death of humanity, believe me. The internet is gonna kill humanity because we can’t use it, we don’t know how to use it. I mean the greatest communication system ever known to man has been invented. What do you use it for? Child pornography. Isn’t it fucking wonderful? They always go for the lowest common denominator and then spin it around. There are all kinds of fucking nut cases out there. And everybody can be equally heard which is not a good idea. Because some people, if they get heard all across the world, and it’s gonna fucking really twist everything up. One in five people aren’t fit to shine your fucking shoes.

Lemmy on Robots and what keeps him going with Motörhead 36 years later:

I believe robots are stealing our luggage. I dunno, everybody’s driven by something, survival mostly. It’s just I love what I do. It’s a great gig. So, why not do it?

You can read the entire interview with Lemmy at Crypt Magazine.

Stand By Me cover by Lemmy Kilmister. For Jane who after seeing Lemmy and the Head Cat at The Viper Room this past New Years Day said she would now and forever “lay off of Lemmy’s blue suede shoes”.

Lemmy’s gravely cover of the Ben E. King’s 1961 classic features Slayer’s Dave Lombardo on the drums.

You can find Lemmy’s version of Stand By Me on Flip Skateboard’s Extremely Sorry soundtrack.

Put the makeup back on!

In a recent interview to Vice, Lemmy talked about Motorhead’s 1981 tour with Ozzy (during the Blizzard of Ozz, one of the most incredible gigs I’ve ever seen, bar none) and KISS. Kilmister recalled the time he saw KISS for the first time with their makeup off.

You are the most low-maintenance band, and then they needed their fucking makeup artist.
I know. Remember when they took the makeup off?

Yeah. That was awkward for everybody.
Very awkward. Because you found out, “Jesus, they’re ugly.”

They are not pretty men.
Except for Paul Stanley. He was still cute. But the other three?

It’s like waking up next to a chick after you were blackout drunk and you’re like, “Oh shit.”
[laughs] Fucking hell, hiding in the bathroom till she leaves.

I like to play asleep.
It’s like the fox-trap syndrome. You’d rather gnaw your arm off than wake her up.

Lemmy gets philosophical about porn and war. For NPD.

Lemmy Kilmister recently sat down with the Belfast Telegraph to impart some of what he’s learned over the years. My favorite quote from the interview (which can be read in it’s entirety here) is below.

It’s all war and child porn. Mankind hasn’t progressed beyond the caves. All we’ve got are bigger weapons. We can just kill our enemies from further away. We don’t have to see what we did.

So is the word of Lemmy. Afuckingmen.

Lemmy retells the best story he’s ever heard. For Noah.

Note to self: Never piss off Ritchie Blackmore. Ever.

Thanks to The Mad Irish Man for the head up, double down. And hey, at least you’re in Vegas baby…

I just heard from a very metal source that Motorhead has just canceled their gig in Las Vegas tonight. It seems that Lemmy has lost his voice. Tour supporters Nashville Pussy and Reverend Horton Heat will still appear despite Motorhead’s cancellation.

Old matchbook from The Breakroom. Found last weekend at Motorhead.

Don’t worry. That’s exactly how a matchbook in your pocket always looked a day later. Same goes for the number on the inside flap, minus the fake phone number. I swear.

Thanks!: Dr. H.

Stickies From the Editor: Sometimes stuff happens and I don’t have a camera. I’d thank my iPhone but, that would be too easy. For now, I’m going to thank Captain Shakey and her inability to hold her gun-shooting hand steady.

I took this photo moments before I got knocked on my ass by the Motorhead mosh pit of death. Good times.

Lemmy and his daily Jack.

During an interview with a Canadian newspaper, Lemmy Kilmister gave up some of the secrets to his very metal, longevity. It reads pretty much how the “book of life” anecdotes from Lemmy might read.

Lemmy on booze:

I do still drink a lot. About a bottle of Jack (Daniel’s) a day. [As for the drug consumption], I steer clear of talking about it.

Lemmy on chicks:

It’s more difficult on the road ’cause it’s so transient. If you don’t get ‘em that first night, you’re gone.

Lemmy on the forthcoming flick, Lemmy: The Movie:

I get to see the final cut before it goes out. [But] there’s not much about my life I’m uncomfortable with — really.

MOTÖRHEAD will be in Seattle for a sold-out show at The Showbox SoDo on Friday, October 2nd. Which is exactly where yours truly will be come Friday night.

Lemmy Toast…

Lemmy Toast. It’s what’s for breakfast motherfuckers.

The Metal Messiah is on his way Seattle…

Nashville Pussy is also on the bill. More here. Complete Motorhead Tour schedule here.

Thanks to The Mad Irishman for the Lemmy linkage…

Lemmy. For Wonder Woman.

MOTÖRHEAD will hit the road with REVEREND HORTON HEAT for a North American tour this summer. So far, Horton Heat’s website is only confirming the late-summer dates below:

Aug. 30 – Chicago, IL – Congress Theater
Sep. 01 – Detroit, MI – Motor City Casino
Sep. 02 – Toronto, ON – The Sound Academy
Sep. 05 – Atlantic City, NJ

No dates for Seattle yet (although Heat will play two dates at the Showbox in July with Nekromantix) but I, like you can hope for a sweaty night with Lemmy Kilmister this summer. It’s good to have goals.

Night Horse, Shine On Me. From the bands 2008 debut record, Night Won’t Hide You.

The March issue of the incredibly cool UK mag, Classic Rock has kept my eyes and ears busy for weeks now. My very sexy friend, Sleazegrinder, penned an epic retrospective on Green River called River Runs Deep. March’s issue also had some of the best musical recommendations I’ve seen in print in some time. I’m gonna share a few this week, starting with LA’s Night Horse.

Lemmy originally dubbed Night Horse the Mother Fucking Razorbacks. Either way, Night Horse is cranking out some very sweet, raucous rock sounds. Which totally works for me.

Night Horse will be at Spaceland in Silverland, California with Valiant Thor (!) on Friday, April 3rd. Green River will play two gigs at The Showbox @ The Market in May with The Melvins.

Lemmy, 49% motherfucker, 51% son of a bitch. Not an alcoholic…

An uplifting Journal called Alcoholism: Clinical and Experimental Research concluded that drinkers who frequent establishments WHERE YOU HAVE TO SHOUT TO TALK, drank more than their boring wine bar counterparts. One of the key researchers, Nicolas Gueguen PhD of France, reinforced the findings saying that if the music is too loud, you can’t carry on a conversation so you drink more.

In other news, I am happy to report that one of the reasons I drink is because I love loud music. Not because I’m a rummy. Take that Vodka/Tequilla/Makers (rocks)/Rum (no Captain’s thank you)/Beer/Champy (but only when I completely loaded at a party and there’s nothing else to drink at 3:00 am)! You’re not the boss of me…
