Lemmy Interview

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain recently conducted an interview with MOTÖRHEAD frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister. An excerpt from the chat follows.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: How's the new album coming?

Lemmy: We have all of the tracks done. It's just vocals and guitars now, really.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: With this being your 20th album, was a challenge to find inspiration? How did you keep it fresh?

Lemmy: Not really, we just do what we always do. We've got it down to a fine art now, you know? We know how to do that now.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: You recorded parts of the album at Dave Grohl's studio?

Lemmy: Just the drums were done up there. The rest of we did in L.A.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: Who produced it?

Lemmy: Cameron Webb. The same as who did the last two.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: Are you looking forward to the tour with JUDAS PRIEST?

Lemmy: Yeah, but we've got festivals to do in Europe first. So, I'm just looking at those at the moment. Yeah, we're going out with JUDAS PRIEST in August.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: Do you still enjoy playing the festival shows in Europe?

Lemmy: Yeah. It's a big event. There's not just one band.

Pop-Rock Candy Mountain: You recently taped an appearance on "Californication". Did you enjoy that?

Lemmy: Well, I've never seen the show myself (laughs). So, someone asked and I said, "Yeah." (laughs) I don't know what the fuck it is. I just said a couple of things.
