LEMMY Says SKUNK ANANSIE Is His Favorite Band

February 5, 2011

Stay Thirsty recently conducted an interview with MOTÖRHEAD frontman and rock icon Lemmy Kilmister. A couple of excerpts from the chat follow below.

Stay Thirsty: Tell me about the L.A. premiere for the ["Lemmy"] movie!

Lemmy: Oh, it was OK, you know. A lot of our friends went down. You know, it's not a bad documentary, it's not too embarrassing, not enough to leave the theatre before the lights came on, you know! It was alright, everybody like cheered and everything, which is really nice, bring polite, you know?

Stay Thirsty: When you're home, do you like staying in and relaxing, or do you prefer being busy?

Lemmy: Oh, both, you know what I mean? You don't want to be out of work all the time, cause you fucking, you get out of rhythm, you know? But doing interviews every day gets kind of worrying and they all ask the same questions, you know? You'd better not ask the same questions! This is my day off, you understand.

Stay Thirsty: The last interview we did in Austin was such a huge hit, and that thing you said about listening to EVANESCENCE was really picked up all over the world. Everyone is really interested in what you do in your off time, like what you listen to.

Lemmy: Well, I wasn't doing Amy Lee. (laughs) Well, SKUNK ANANSIE reformed, which is great news for me, you know? They're my favorite band, I think. I went to see them in London a little while ago. You know they reformed, right? I went to see them in London the day before we played Brixton Academy, they played there, so we went down. They were fucking amazing. She [singer Skin] walks out on the crowd's hands. Twice, just in case you missed it the first time. Case you're at the bar or something, you know. They were so good.
