Ok, let’s get one thing straight from the start… I am not a Motorhead fan, Yet I Love Motorhead! I am a fan of Lemmy… And I Just Watched ‘Lemmy -  The Movie’ On DVD!

I have met Lemmy ‘once’ three times!, and it became evident that he was the type of person you only ever needed to meet ‘once’ and no matter how many times you met him again, Once was enough. For no other reason than it was over 10 years between each of the meetings, yet every time Lemmy was the same. There are others I have met and can say Exactly the same about (James Hetfield, Ozzy, Johnny Cash, Chuck Berry, Keith Richards, Brian Johnson, David Bowie, Prince, Trent Reznor, Dave Grohl, Bono, Even Gene Simmons) I could go on, but the point i’m making is there are certain artists you don’t just ‘meet’ they grace you with their pressence and you should and need to come away from those moments with something extra, often something you won’t even know you have untill years later, BUT the one thing that connects them all, the only real thing that they all create is… Inspiration…

Lemmy inspires me, always has, always will, many speak of him as a ‘Maverick’ a ‘Renegade’ yet he is simply being ‘Lemmy’ this IS who he is, this is what he does, and when he opens up every single Motorhead show with ‘We Are Motorhead & We Play Rock N’ Roll’ he does so with the same spit and venom he has always done, because Lemmy is ‘Rock N’ Roll’ He’s not the first, but he certainly is the ‘Last’ and I can honestly say that over the period of this new century I have not seen or met anyone who is going to replace him, there are several who come close, but they are all 40+, There are no ‘New’ rock’n'rollas… Lemmy is the ‘Road Warrior’

And that’s the reason YOU need to see this film, Everyone needs to see this BEFORE he dies, while he is still here, I don’t want Lemmy to get fame and fortune in the way Ozzy has (So many people have said to me ‘I did’nt know he was a singer!) Yet what I hope for is that with their new album ‘The World Is Yours’ on their own record label and this film being shown around the world (and in every home via DVD) that finally Lemmy will take his rightfull place at the Head of the Rock ‘N’ Roll Round Table, Ozzy, Simmons, Hetfield et all will sit around, but their can and only ever will be one King!

This film is Inspiration… And by the end of it you will Love Motorhead! (I’m listening to them loud as f**k right now) You need to see this movie! Jj: 2010

Over four decades, Motorhead frontman Lemmy  Kilmister has registered an immeasurable impact on music history. Nearly 65, he remains the living embodiment of the rock and roll lifestyle, and this feature-length documentary tells his story, one of a hard-living rock icon who continues to enjoy the life of a man half his age.

Shot on a combination of High Definition and Super 16mm film, “Lemmy” includes interviews with friends, family, bandmates past and present and such admirers / peers as Metallica, Slash, Dave Grohl (Nirvana/Foo Fighters), Ozzy Osbourne, Peter Hook (Joy Division/New Order), actor Billy Bob Thornton, wrestling superstar Triple H, Alice Cooper, Mick Jones of The Clash, and many more.

Called “pure gold” by WIRED, “Lemmy” made its world premiere in March 2010 at the South by Southwest Film and Music Festival, and has since collected rave reviews at film festivals around the globe. Variety remarked “‘Lemmy’ rocks,” and The Hollywood Reporter noted, “You don’t have to be a metalhead to love ‘Lemmy.’”
