April 16, 2010

Jose Mangin of Revolver TV conducted an interview with MOTÖRHEAD mainman Lemmy Kilmister and Dave Grohl (FOO FIGHTERS, THEM CROOKED VULTURES, NIRVANA) backstage at the Revolver Golden Gods Awards, whcih took place on April 8 at Club Nokia in downtown Los Angeles. The chat can be viewed below.

"Lemmy" — the long-awaited documentary examining the life and career of Lemmy Kilmister — premiered last month during the South by Southwest (SXSW) Film Festival at the historic Paramount Theatre in Austin, Texas.

"Lemmy" directors/producers Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski spent three years following Kilmister around the globe — from his Hollywood home to the hockey arenas of Russia.

"Lemmy" features appearances by such high-profile Kilmister friends/peers as METALLICA, Dave Grohl, Ozzy Osbourne, Slash, Billy Bob Thornton and pro wrestler Triple H.

Hailed as a godfather of heavy metal, 64-year-old Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister has established himself as the living embodiment of rock and roll over the past four decades. After stints with popular Mersey beat band THE ROCKIN' VICKERS and influential psychedelic rockers HAWKWIND, and even a brief time spent as a member of Jimi Hendrix's road crew, Lemmy formed MOTÖRHEAD in 1975.

Going on to record such influential metal classics as "Overkill", "Ace of Spades" and "Bomber", the Grammy Award-winning MOTÖRHEAD and Kilmister's fusion of punk and metal registered a major influence on such bands as METALLICA, GUNS N' ROSES and NIRVANA.

Says Grohl, "If anyone deserves to be in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, it's Lemmy. Give me a fuckin' break!"

2010 marks the 35th anniversary of the birth of MOTÖRHEAD, which features Kilmister, guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee.
