Lemmy Interview in The Times Newspaper Not to be outdone by the recent Gaurdian feature on Lemmy, The Times published an Interview with him on June 9th 2007. To read it online click here Concert dates Cancelled MOTÖRHEAD were forced to call off its June 3, 2007 concert Rockhal in Luxembourg after frontman Lemmy Kilmister reportedly fell ill shortly after soundcheck and had to be taken to a local hospital for evaluation. It was subsequently determined that Lemmy was suffering from an upper respiratory infection and two additional shows in France (June 5 in Limoges and June 6 in Caen) were also cancelled in order to allow Lemmy enough time to rest. However, according to Dee, Lemmy WILL be well enough to perform at Sweden Rock, where former MOTÖRHEAD guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke — who is playing the Sweden Rock the same day (Saturday, June 9) with his band FASTWAY — is expected to join MOTÖRHEAD on stage.
New Live CD In July On July 13th 2007, SPV will release "Better Motorhead Than Dead", a Live Double CD recorded at The Hammersmith Odeon (or whatever they call it these days, it'll always be the Odeon to most of us). The release will feature 23 tracks. More details to come...
Motörhead's Lemmy is the nation's greatest living Englishman From The Guardian May 2007

He may have hit many a duff note in the past 30 years, but the man behind Ace of Spades has not once told you a lie. Let it be stated for the record: Lemmy, singer with Motörhead, is the nation's greatest living Englishman. Some say this accolade belongs to Tony Benn, but attending one of his appearances will cost you up to £35 a ticket and doesn't get you Ace of Spades played by a sexagenarian who sinks two packets of Marlboro Reds and two litres of Jack Daniels a day. Next month, London sees the start of the South Bank Meltdown festival, the summer's annual pick'n'mix of musical culture. This year's curator is Jarvis Cocker, another national treasure. The band Cocker has chosen to launch Meltdown is Motörhead. I would like to think - no, I believe - there is nothing kitsch about this choice. It isn't the same as people who wear AC/DC shirts to the NME Awards. I feel that Jarvis Cocker understands that Motörhead epitomise rock'n'roll's core ideal, that "the only way to feel the noise is when it's good and loud", and that they are a beacon for defiant celebration. Lemmy may have hit many a duff note in the past 30 years, but not once has he told you a lie. I was 10 years old when I first heard this band; I was just a week older by the time I owned my first Motörhead record. A month after that I had an iron-on T-shirt. Five years later and I was knee deep in mud at Donington Park, flailing in terror as people fell under my feet, watching in amazement as a firework screamed its way toward Lemmy on the stage. I remember it now: he went ballistic. And then he played Ace of Spades. Ace of Spades is, of course, the one song loved by everyone who has heard it. Its moral is so clear it could well be Moses on the mic, its timing so deft it might just be the greatest shimmy in rock'n'roll. "You know I'm going to lose, and gambling's for fools, but that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever." In the original studio version Lemmy then warns you to not "forget the joker", but of late the song has been brought up to date. While power chords throb from his Rickenbacker bass and his mouth moves up to a microphone stationed higher than his head, the 61-year-old greatest living Englishman instead says "... but apparently I am." And who wouldn't drink to that?
Lemmy Action Figure released in November
Stevenson Entertainment Group has entered into an agreement with Bravado International for figural and statue rights to the infamous band Motorhead. For the past 30 years, Lemmy Kilmister and his band Motorhead have seen and done it all and lived to tell about it. And what's more amazing is that they're still going strong. Not only did Motorhead pick up a Grammy in 2005, but they're still out on the road playing to sold out crowds around the world. Viewed by his peers and the masses as the "Godfather" of hard rock music, Lemmy has become an indisputable icon that has etched his place in history as one of the best. SEG is proud to announce it will be releasing a highly detailed figure of Lemmy Kilmister in the Spring of 2006 with a statue of the iconic Warpig logo in the Fall of 2006.
Motorhead FC
Motorhead have sponsored a Lincolnshire under 10s football team. The heavy metal band took interest in the Greenbank under-10s B team after their manager Gary Weight, an old friend of frontman Lemmy, emailed the star. The young footballers will walk out to Motorhead's hit 'Ace Of Spades' and wear shirts with the band's name and motif - a skull called 'Snaggletooth'. "I sent an email off to them and they came back and said it was a great idea," said Weight. "I knew Lemmy years ago and for him, I think the thought of a football team running out with the Motorhead logo made him chuckle a bit, so that's where it's come from. The hope is that we can go out on the football pitch and terrorise the opponents and come away worthy winners."
