MOTÖRHEAD Mainman Profiled In New Issue Of ROLLING STONE

October 20, 2009

Rolling Stone's Mark Binelli put in some quality time at the Rainbow (and MOTÖRHEAD leader Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister's nearby apartment, stocked with a mind-blowing array of WWII and Nazi memorabilia) for a profile of Lemmy in the magazine's new issue.
Unsurprisingly, Lemmy has taken a path that's very unlike other rockers. Acknowledging his unusual journey, Kilmister tells Rolling Stone, "I mean, I missed out on human relationships. But looking at relationships that I've seen along the way, I don't think I've missed much." Kilmister has let rock n' roll be his guide since he was a kid learning BUDDY HOLLY records in Wales, and in Rolling Stone's profile, Kilmister recounts joining (and leaving) legendary psych-rock band HAWKWIND, attempting to teach Sid Vicious (SEX PISTOLS) how to play the bass and the beginnings of MOTÖRHEAD, which he conceived as a blend of HAWKWIND, the MC5 and LITTLE RICHARD.

For Binelli's full story, pick up the new issue (with MADONNA on the cover),on stands now.
