LEMMY Says JOHN LENNON Was 'The Asshole' Of THE BEATLES (Video)

December 9, 2010

MOTÖRHEAD mainman Lemmy Kilmister recently spoke to NME.com about how he was inspired by THE BEATLES, and in particular John Lennon. Lemmy fondly described Lennon as, "the asshole of the band" and went on to say how THE BEATLES made him feel like he could change the world.

"THE BEATLES were massive. They changed the world," he said. "The generation that was with me, which includes me, we genuinely believed we could make the world better and we failed because the world's so full of shit."

A short video clip of Lemmy talking about THE BEATLES can be viewed below.
