Lemmy

What I wanted to, what I wanted to ask was, How did it feel? How did like what was the you know, what was what were the what were the emotions? Because we're talking about we're talking about the guitarist responsible for creating heavy metal.

You know what I mean? Apart from Lemmy coming back from the grave, you know, this is this is this is your moment.

And and secondary, was there any was there any other element of somebody's winding me up?

Oh yeah, definitely.

Evolution! Evolution!

Every time I think about Motorhead now, I think about Lemmy.

I think about when they were playing Triple H Shoulder Ring.

So I was

It takes time after time of improv and riffing off of each other and understanding each other as people so that when you are performing, you can have that trust beneath it.

But it's fascinating because often you're out in the wild, you and Ratso, you're like walking up to Lemmy and you're like, I don't, let's see how this goes.

You know, like you're walking up to Off, you know, John Brannan, like you're just, you don't know what's going to happen.

And I love that so much of what you're talking to him about is kind of, What was it like for you as a kid? What are your suggestions if somebody's wanting to start out? And it's funny, like, the cramps will be like, you'll be like, do you have any, you know, advice for kids? And they're like,

Or Jake is just the puppet.

So there's a lot of combinations of that.

So, of course, Lemmy and Vanilla Ice, those were just Ratso experiences with artists who were like a little puppet phobic.

And then there was one pitchfork where Lady Sovereign, if you remember these names, and The Streets, both.

So for the longest time, like that was this goal I set or this kind of checkbox I set.

It's like you play there, that makes you a real musician and rock star because the list of names that have played that stage is crazy, you know? Phil Anselmo, the list, the singer, Lane Staley, Lemmy Kilmeister played that stage.

Um, Wayne Static, Manson, um, the list goes on and on and on.

And, um, I had seen some of my personal heroes there.

You know, it's like when I first met, I guess that was our reputation.

Cause when I first, I met Lemmy the first time playing pinball in New York city at King Tut's Wawa hut

that tracks.

Yeah.

All my heroes, they're still my heroes, you know, being Chris Priest or Dio or...

Motorhead, Lemmy, you know, everybody.

There came a couple of more bands now, like Amon Amas, I love, and, you know, Arch Enemy, all, you know, great bands.

But, yeah, and I was treated so good, I tell you.

till the day I die so you know lots of

there's a question for you so this is the question so the last question I always want to ask you, so a lot of artists, the last show or the last tour, I know you're going to play forever.

Lemmy did.

But if you could forward think, what do you think the last song of the last show that you would do, what's the last song you think you'd want to have live to be your thing?

Motorhead.

I feel like Lemmy would be laughing his butt off trying to share a stage with Imagine Dragons and Simple Plan.

I don't know.

Yeah, that's

festival.

I don't know if I would go to Heat Fest, even though I've always wanted to see Motorhead.

You know what? I don't want to go, but no disrespect to Lemmy by any means.

Yeah.

You know...

I always look at him as very much in the same breath as, like, Lemmy from Motorhead.

He did what he wanted to do.

He didn't give a flying fuck if you liked it or not.
