MOTÖRHEAD's LEMMY On The Best Tour Diets, American Cheese And Food Fights

December 12, 2010

MOTÖRHEAD frontman and rock icon Lemmy Kilmister recently spoke to The Observer about the best tour diets, American cheese and food fights. A couple of excerpts follow below.

Lemmy: "I don't eat vegetables. I eat potatoes and green beans and that's it. I don't care if you eat 200 artichokes, you still won't last through a tour. Mushy peas, I like. brussels sprouts, foul. I won't eat anything with onions in whatsoever, I hate them — me and Ringo Starr have that in common.

"My rider is a few biscuits, a few cakes, a meat plate, a cheese plate, some cigs, some JDs. I must say, I'm not completely fixated on Jack Daniel's — it's just that it's the one with the best distribution system worldwide. At one point I mainly drank Southern Comfort mixed with Special Brew. What was I thinking?"
