Maybe he owes his *ahem* chemist *ahem* a few quid?

11:00 tonight on Channel 4: Motorhead: Live Fast, Die Old.
"Motorhead are rock's most stubborn survivors. Formed in 1975 by rock legend Lemmy Kilmister, they were once one of Britain's biggest bands. Renowned for being among the heaviest drinking, drug-fuelled womanisers in the business, the band made the Guinness Book of Records as the loudest band ever. In the early eighties they blasted their way to the top of the charts with Ace of Spades. Almost thirty years on, Motorhead: Live Fast, Die Old follows behind the scenes as Lemmy and his band set off on their next UK tour. Lemmy is now 57. He still drinks a bottle of bourboun a day and shows little sign of slowing down. But how and why does he keep going? From Lemmy's West Hollywood apartment, crammed with Nazi memorabilia, knives and gothic skulls - to Norwich Student Union, Portsmouth Guild Hall and the after gig parties in Newcastle, Manchester and Wolverhampton - the band are booked to play eleven towns in 13 days, living and sleeping on the same bus. Playing the same music, wearing the same clothes and still as controversial as they've always been, can a band really survive without changing?"

Jeez I love the geezer, and the mighty noises he makes... But to paraphrase Hicks: "You do an advert, you're off the artistic roll". Especially as the ad' re-enforces a crappy parody of everything that is Lemmy. He doesn't even ride a bike in real life. Ho-hum.
Just remembered, I LOVE bands that become crappy parodies of themselves
Mild amnesia for a moment there...

It wouldn't be so bad it it weren't for the other two bikers from central casting... presumably the current other members of Motorhead didn't look 'biker'enough...!

Lemmy can do whatever the f**k he likes in my book. his opinions over the years have always stayed consistent to his no-compromise philosophy.if he can live with advertising crisps then fair enough.
and he's done adverts before -there's one where he's playing the violin with the slogan being something along the lines of "something you don't see everyday".can't remember the product exactly so i probably didn't buy it....unlike WALkERS CRISPS;a fine leicester company and definitely the best crisps (do i get a free bag now?)

Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"

If you shoplift, yes. Get me either Salt n' Vinegar or Tomato Ketchup whiles you're there.eastmidswhizzkid wrote:definitely the best crisps (do i get a free bag now?)
I seem to remember a danced-up version of Ace Of Spades being used as a soundtrack to an advert for Pot Noodle way back in the early '90's. IIRC Lemmy only authorised it as long as the original was released as the A-side. I think. Anyone else recall this?
And it was Chicken & Mushroom - mmmmm

Lemmy can and should do whatever he likes to earn a few quids extra. His touring-presence does unfortunately not match his record sales at all. Any money he can gather for his well-deserved pension is greatly appreciated.
Give Lemmy a rest - eat Walkers Crisps.

Does anyone know if it was the same danced up version of Ace of Spades as produced by CNN featuring the lovely former Sister Tim B ?

Though he did chat up my flatmates girlfriend several years ago - She asked if she could have his t-shirt which was an exclusive shirt for band members/crew only "Only good guys wear black" (or something similar). Said flatmate has a lend of it at the moment and is walking around the flat with pride

Lemmy is just old enough to be my old man (and that's legally)...

James...you're too old mate...Lemmy would have been 10
Dim, through the misty panes and thick green light,
As under a green sea, I saw him drowning.
