Despite being eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for more than 20 years already, the late Lemmy Kilmister and his band Motörhead are still noticeably absent from its list of inductees. It’s a glaring oversight that Metallica frontman James Hetfield lamented in a new interview.
“The most rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle-living person on this planet is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, a shame,” Hetfield told The Metallica Report podcast. “It’s kind of a disrespect to rock ‘n’ roll, basically.”

Earlier in the interview, Hetfield opened up about important Lemmy was to him personally. As we previously reported, Hetfield recently got a tattoo with Lemmy’s ashes in the ink, which he also elaborated on.
“Adriana, my girlfriend, her best friend passed away,” Hetfield said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “And we had just talked about the ability to put ashes in...

Deicide leader Glen Benton has sounded off on the state of the modern heavy metal scene.
In short, Benton feels that things have simply gotten less metal, citing the hyper sub-categorization of the genre and the onstage attire of those who play it.
Benton’s remarks hail from a new interview with Knac.com. At first, Benton describes his upbringing when he was surrounded by classic metal such as Black Sabbath and Judas Priest — the music that motivated him to the career path he’s been on for decades.
“I remember being at the breakfast table 7:30 in the morning with my boombox blasting ‘Paranoid’ at my mother,” he said (as transcribed by Blabbermouth).
In his opinion, a lot has changed.
“Metal was metal back then,” said Benton. “Metal right now — you have so many subcategories of metal now, it’s ridiculous. I understand individualism and that, and we can...

The affection that James Hetfield feels for Motörhead’s late frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, is well documented: Metallica have covered “Overkill” dozens of times, the whole band once performed as “The Lemmys” at Kilmister’s 50th birthday bash, and Hetfield’s lyrics to Metallica’s “Murder One” is basically a string of Kilmister references. Now Kilmister will forever be a part of Hetfield since the singer blended some of the Motörhead frontman’s cremains into tattoo ink and got an Ace of Spades tat on his right middle finger.

Lemmy Kilmister will always be a part of James Hetfield’s DNA — literally! The Metallica frontman has just gotten a new tattoo using ink mixed with the late Motörhead icon’s cremated ashes.
The tattoo of an iron cross with a spade on top appears on Hetfield’s right middle finger. The Metallica singer-guitarist posted a photo of himself flipping the bird on the band’s Instagram page (see below), writing, “With the steady hand of friend and tattoo artist @coreymillertattoo, this tattoo. A salute to my friend and inspiration Mr. Lemmy Kilmister. Without him, there would be No Metallica.”

He continued, “Black ink mixed with a pinch of his cremation ashes that were so graciously given to me. So now, he is still able to fly the bird at the world.”
The iron cross and the spade are iconography closely associated with Lemmy and Motörhead.

The ashes of the late Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister are being enshrined at one of his favorite Sunset Strip haunts: the iconic Rainbow Bar & Grill in West Hollywood.
A ceremony is set for April 19th at 9 p.m. Pt, with the Rainbow also inviting fans and attendees to “raise a very unique toast to Lemmy and Motörhead with the unveiling of brand new Motörhead Whiskey” via a Facebook post.
When he wasn’t on tour, Lemmy was a daily regular at the Rainbow and could often be found playing the video poker machine at the bar. The Rainbow would eventually dedicate its patio to the Motörhead leader, re-naming it “Lemmy’s Lounge.” A life-size bronze statue of Lemmy also resides on the patio, and in turn, the neighboring Roxy had a mural of him painted on the wall opposite the patio and statue.

London-born musician, Slash, gained world-wide recognition as the lead guitarist of rock group, ‘Guns N Roses’ in the late 1980s to early 1990s. Whilst in the band, he created the side-group ’Slash’s Snakepit’ which although did not gain much mainstream attention, received critical acclaim.
He then co-founded the rock super-group ‘Velvet Revolver’ which re-established him as a mainstream artist in the mid to late 2000s.
In 2010, Slash released his debut album ‘Slash’, which rose to #3 in the US Album Chart following its release in April 2010. The album featured many of Slash’s musical friends, such as Ozzy Osbourne, Fergie of The Black Eyed Peas, Chris Cornell of Soundgarden, Adam Levine of Maroon 5, Lemmy Kilmister of Motörhead, Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters, and Iggy Pop.

More than five decades into their career, Judas Priest have always been one of metal’s most reliably great bands, likely because the responsibility they feel to the genre weighs just as heavily as the music they make. They never want to let down their fans, the “heavy metal maniacs,” as lead shrieker Rob Halford dubbed them long ago, even as they’ve pressed forward in the face of adversity in recent years. Guitarist Glenn Tipton, a bona fide metal icon known for his electrifying solos, revealed he’d been...

A statue of the late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister will be erected in his hometown of Burslem, which is part of the city of Stoke-on-Trent in Staffordshire, England.
Plans for the 2.25-meter bronze sculpture have been approved, according to the BBC, despite police concerns that the statue could generate “good-natured but potentially incident generating attention” — namely revelers climbing the plinth to pose with Lemmy or causing vandalism. It will be located in Burslem’s Market Place.
Local sculptor Andy Edwards will be constructing the statue out of Staffordshire clay, having previously created sculptures of Brian Clough and Peter Taylor at Derby County Fc and The Beatles on Liverpool’s Pier Head. An artist rendering (seen above) depicts Lemmy in his iconic stage pose, singing upward toward the skies with the microphone placed abnormally high above him.

The ongoing Motörhead live recording series, The Löst Tapes, is being collected on a new eight-disc CD box set arriving February 23rd. In addition, a fifth volume in the series, Live at Donington Download Fest ’08, has been announced as part the box set and as a standalone vinyl release.
The Motörhead camp launched The Löst Tapes series in 2021, restoring previously unreleased Motörhead concert recordings sourced from cassette tapes discovered in the archives of the late Lemmy Kilmister.
“[Cassettes] were a standard part of every tour … Motörhead were certainly no exception, recording show after show,” read the press release for the box set. “They contain gold, pure aural gold, and had for many years sat hundreds of feet underground in a small cave Lemmy owned, guarded by small, hairy centurions in Roman armor with small spears and bad attitudes.

As the singer of Slipknot and Stone Sour, as well as solo artist, Corey Taylor has rubbed shoulders with many of his own personal heroes in the business. But his encounters with Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl and late Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister are among the most memorable.
In a new interview with Classic Rock magazine, the Slipknot frontman fanboy’d out on some of the famous rockstars he’s met over the years, most of which entail humorous — and in Lemmy’s case, downright raunchy — anecdotes.
Taylor had only met the Motörhead mastermind in passing prior to running into him in the kitchenette at the German headquarters of guitar company Gibson. As Taylor recounted, while the two were “smoking out of the window like high-schoolers, just being dicks,” Lemmy proceeded to tell what Taylor claims to be “one of the filthiest jokes” he’s ever heard in his life.

As the first season of Peacock’s John Wick universe spin-off series The Continental comes to an end with the third and final episode Theatre of Pain, viewers can’t help but feel discontent as to how hastily the finale wrapped up the narrative. Previously, viewers learned how Winston’s elder brother, the ‘Nam war vet Frankie Scott, undertook the dangerous mission of stealing the High Table coin press from New York Continental in order to earn a life of freedom with his wife, Yen, inciting the ire of his mob boss and Continental manager Cormac O’Conner in the process. Winston got tangled up in that mess as well, and he had to witness his brother sacrifice his life to save him and Yen. A vengeful Winston decided to take revenge and put an end to the sordid history the Scott brothers shared with Cormac, and in order to do so,...

Loyalty and the lack of it turn out to be major game changers in the treacherous depths of the underworld, and the second episode of Peacock’s John Wick universe crime drama The Continental makes sure to convey that. After the pilot episode of the series established the central plotline in a rather jam-packed manner and ended on a tragic note, the following-up focuses primarily on setting plans for the climactic clash between two parties.
In the previous episode, set in 1970s New York, Winston’s elder brother, Vietnam War veteran Francis Scott, stole the High Table coin press from the notorious criminal refuge, the Continental, much to the dismay of the hotel’s manager and his mob boss employer, Cormac O’Conner. As Frankie went into hiding, Winston got dragged into the scene by the psychotic Cormac. As he eventually finds out about Frankie, it is revealed that the reason...

Drummer Mikkey Dee has doubled down on his previous assertion: No Lemmy, no Motörhead.
After stating earlier this year that he and guitarist Phil Campbell — the remaining members of the band — would never tour under the Motörhead name again, Dee clarified his comments in a new interview with Chaoszine.
Although he said he will still continue to play Motörhead songs in other capacities, like his Mikkey Dee and Friends collective, performing as Motörhead with a replacement for late frontman Lemmy Kilmister is not an option.
“I said, ‘We will never, ever get back together and replace Lemmy. That’s impossible,'” said Dee, referring to his March interview. “I said, ‘But doing little constellations, doing some tribute stuff, that’s great.’ That’s very, very different. And I think [the press] said something, ‘Mikkey will never play Motörhead [songs] again.’ … I said that’s not what I said at all. Of course I will play Motörhead.

What started from a stolen car, a dead dog, and numerous headshots has now become a full-blown assassin universe. The Continental: From the World of John Wick is a prequel series to the global hit John Wick film franchise and it tells the origin story of Winston Scott from the main films. Set in the 1970s New York the Peacock mini-series shows us how Winston became the manager of the titular hotel which is a haven for assassins around the world.
While it doesn’t compare to the main John Wick film in any way The Continental has its own charms and action sequences that will surely be loved by the fans. The Continental is fully able to pull off a self-contained story with massive stakes and a brilliant character who will now be a part of the cannon forever.

Motörhead‘s 1983 album Another Perfect Day is receiving an expanded 40th anniversary reissue including rarities, demos, and a period-specific concert recording. “Climber,” the original demo for the album track “Shine,” can be heard now ahead of the collection’s November 3rd release date.
Another Perfect Day is somewhat of an outlier in the Motörhead canon in that it’s the band’s only album to feature ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian “Robbo” Robertson, who took over for Fast Eddie Clarke in 1982.
With the addition of Robertson, Motörhead took a more “musical” approach — in Lemmy Kilmister’s words — to Another Perfect Day. Rather than relying on flat-out speed and aggression as they had with Clarke, Lemmy and company hunkered down in the studio and crafted some of the most melodic and “produced” material to ever don the Motörhead name.
Robertson’s effects-laden guitar overdubs are the most striking difference between Another Perfect...

But as she has been proving this week, she’s willing to gamble — just like Motörhead’s late frontman Lemmy Kilmister. At gigs in Moncton, New Brunswick, and Montreal in the past few days, she’s included a raucous rendition of Kilmister’s calling card, “Ace of Spades,” in her set list.

A major tribute to late Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister took place this week at the Wacken Open Air music festival in Germany. The festivities featured a parade, communal toasts, and an enshrinement of the rock icon’s ashes at Lemmy’s Bar in the village of Wacken, along with a surprise performance from surviving Motörhead members Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee.
Campbell and Dee first participated in a parade featuring floats carrying hundreds of diehard Motörhead fans.

Two of Motörhead’s surviving members, guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee, participated in enshrining the ashes of the band’s late frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, in a ceremony at the Wacken Open Air heavy metal festival in Germany this week. Video from the event shows the two musicians holding what looks like a small pyramid with Kilmister’s signature Civil War–styled Hardee hat perched above it before placing it in a display case.

The Continental: From the world of John Wick’ held its panel at the San Diego Comic Con (Sdcc) and showcased some intense footage giving us an idea about both its tone and action.
While the show will apparently have a somewhat lighter tone, audiences should not make the mistake that this will get McU-fied as it still contains plenty of amazing action, full of blood and gore. Set in the world of 1970’s New York City, the show will dive deeper into the franchise’s obscure criminal mythology, exploring both the origins of the eponymous hotel for assassins in New York, as well as how actor Ian McShane’s character Winston Scott became the proprietor of its New York branch.
As reported by Collider, the panel opened with a behind-the-scenes featurette, with a long intro primarily focusing on the setting and the new environments. The footage also showcased familiar settings...

Motörhead‘s rare cover of the Metallica classic “Enter Sandman” has been unearthed for Motörhead Day — the annual “8th of May” celebration of the late Lemmy Kilmister and company.
The track hails from a 1998 Ecw Wrestling compilation and was relegated to that CD for nearly 25 years. The cover has now been made widely available on streaming services and YouTube with a new animated music video that offers a Motörhead spin on the concept of the original Metallica clip.
The cover is a faithful rendition and highlights just how influential Motörhead were to bands such as Metallica and modern heavy metal in general. Lemmy’s interpretation is convincing enough that one could imagine him penning “Enter Sandman” in some alternate reality.
Metallica and Motörhead were close during Lemmy’s lifetime, with the former even playing Lemmy’s 50th birthday in 1995, all dressed up as the man himself under the moniker “The Lemmys.

Dee Snider was recently dropped as a performer at the upcoming San Francisco Pride Parade & Celebration after he showed support for a controversial statement made by Kiss’ Paul Stanley about sex reassignment treatment for children. Now, the Twisted Sister frontman has issued a response, citing his long history of support for the Lgbtqia+ community.
After Stanley stated that “normalizing” sex reassignment for children has “turned it into a sad and dangerous fad,” Snider chimed in, “You know what? There was a time where I ‘felt pretty’ too. Glad my parents didn’t jump to any rash conclusions! Well said, @PaulStanleyLive.”
While San Francisco Pride did acknowledge that “Dee has always been a vocal supporter of LGBTQ+ rights,” the organization pointed out that it was “heartbroken and angry” when the singer “expressed support for Kiss’s Paul Stanley’s transphobic statement.”
In a Facebook post on Friday (May 5th) titled, “So I Hear I’m Transphobic.

The Rolling Stones are one of the greatest classic rock bands by almost any measure. They won over millions of fans, but some fellow musicians hate The Rolling Stones. Their unbelievable career span, run of great albums in the late 1960s and early 1970s, and multiple No. 1 hits don’t mean much to other artists who couldn’t stand Mick Jagger, Keith Richards, Charlie Watts, and crew.

The musicians who hated The Rolling Stones clearly didn’t hide their disdain for the band’s music. Neither did Jagger and Richards. After more than 60 years as a group, the two lifelong members hated some of the music they made together.
Both Richards and Jagger hate Their Satanic Majesties Request.

In a new interview, drummer Mikkey Dee says there will “never” be a tour billed under the Motörhead name following the 2015 passing of frontman Lemmy Kilmister. That said, the surviving members of the band still intend to cover Motörhead songs in other live formats.
“No,” Dee said when asked by The Metal Voice podcast about a hypothetical Motörhead reunion [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “I really don’t think [the fans] want us to do that. That, to me, is stepping over the line. We will never, ever, ever tour with Motörhead as a name ever and bring someone else in [to play Lemmy’s parts]. That will never happen. But what we are doing is doing some shows here and there.”
Dee goes on to say that he’s recently performed Motörhead songs with other musicians and that is was “great to play the old classics again.”

Motörhead went out on a high note with their final studio album, Bad Magic. Shared in 2015, the record clocked in at just under 43 minutes with a 13-song tracklist. But everything that they created for the album didn’t make it out of the studio, including the newly-released “Greedy Bastards,” a hidden gem from the Bad Magic recording session vaults.
“Another beauty from the Bad Magic sessions with Lem’s lyrics hitting our times bang on the head,” guitarist Phil Campbell said in a statement. “Greedy Bastards” features a spoken-word introduction...

What a year for music—any of my top half-dozen or so could have been Number One some other year. But these are my faves, with pop idols, guitar bangers, rap poets, disco visionaries. All these albums keep giving up new surprises for me. The double-digit years are always pivotal for music—’66, ’77, ’88, ’99 were four of the coolest music years ever. (’11 and ’55 were bangers, too. Y2K wasn’t so hot, but at least it had a kick-ass Madonna album.) 2022 felt more like Neil Young’s 22 than Taylor Swift’s, but...

Nik Turner, a saxophone/flute player who was part of several incarnations of space-rockers Hawkwind, has died at 82. No cause was given, but his death was confirmed on his official Facebook page.
“We are deeply saddened to announce the passing of Nik Turner – The Mighty Thunder Rider, who passed away peacefully at home on Thursday evening,” said the post. “He has moved onto the next phase of his Cosmic Journey, guided by the love of his family, friends and fans. Watch this space for his arrangements.”
Hawkwind once featured Lemmy Kilmister, who went on to form Motörhead after leaving the group.
The Motörhead account on Twitter also took note of Turner’s passing by tweeting, “We lost Lemmy’s old bandmate Nik Turner today. Play some Hawkwind nice and loud!”

Someone once said that no matter what time of day you watch Ed Wood's legendary B-movie "Plan 9 From Outer Space," it always feels like three o'clock in the morning. The mere mention of Troma movies has a similar effect on me; suddenly it's a Friday night down Blockbuster Video in the early '90s all over again. Friends are coming over with beer and pizza and all I need is something with guns, boobs, car crashes, monsters, and cheap laughs for the perfect night in.
Headed by the cartoonish figure of Lloyd Kaufman, the studio has produced and distributed a steady stream of Z-grade trash for over 40 years now, and anyone who was around during the glory days of rental will be familiar with their sleazy back catalog. The world of Troma is both wacky and cynical, populated by dweebs, perverts, knuckleheads, psychos, bimbos, scumlords, and violent morons.

Dave Grohl hasn’t sat still for more than 30 years, so it’s not much of a surprise that he’s ended up creating and starring in his own feature film.
As Pat Smear, one of the founders of L.A. punk legends The Germs, touring guitarist in Nirvana and a cornerstone of Grohl’s Foo Fighters, told him, “Drummers are like sharks, if they stop moving, they’ll die.”
In Studio 666, a horror comedy in the vein of The Evil Dead, perpetual movement doesn’t necessarily prevent death either. (Watch the trailer below.)

Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister, one of the most influential musicians of his generation, is to be given the biopic treatment.
Lemmy, which will take a look under the bass strings of the man, who along with Eddie Clarke and Phil Taylor wrote Ace of Spades, will be directed by Greg Olliver, who helmed the 2010 documentary Lemmy.
It will follow Kilmister’s life growing up in Stoke on Trent, becoming a roadie for Jimi Hendrix and a member of seminal psychedelic rock band Hawkwind before establishing Motörhead. The latter is widely considered to have paved the way for bands such as Metallica, Megadeth and Anthrax as well as Foo Fighters, whose frontman Dave Grohl famously gave a tribute to Lemmy at his funeral.
The film will be taken to Cannes by Vmi Worldwide, whose Andre Relis will produce alongside Damon Lane. The screenplay was written by Medeni Griffiths with additional writing by Greg Olliver.
