Lemmy Kilmister interview, Reading Festival 1988

Interview: Finnish TV - Rockstop

[@hj7008]

He speaks with insight & honesty, but he is also polite & respectful. Funny too. Never judge the book by the cover.

[@koont666]

He used to drink in the Clarendon Hammersmith when not touring bought me and my mate a pint of ESB very nice geezer in the early 80s

[@lutzteichmann5300]

never judge the cover

[@mrtpmk]

What s wrong with the cover?!!

[@jamessmith84240]

Absolute legend. The guy makes me listen, laugh, learn, and admire all at the same time. We lost a great person when Lemmy died. They dont make them like this any more.

[@elsolitario1741]

the guy tells you to live your own way and that's what no does nowadays you know

[@kurgan668]

straight talking, doesn't mince his words, and says exactly what's on his mind, without any heirs and graces, gives complete honesty, the world would be a lot better place if everybody else was like this

[@DavoInMelbourne]

Too true. I really miss the guy.

coz you dont last long doing that much drugs, ofc youre fun high and everyone sober sucks coz they gotta do normal work

[@Anonymous-tg1qs]

1988 and better cameras than sometimes nowadays...

[@123TauruZ321]

Because they stand still. Today the camera has to shake about and zoom in and out, it's fukin ridiculous.

[@crustbrigtop1374]

Older glass was better quality. It's all to do with lenses and film, plastic and digital barely competes.

[@todore1137]

This guy is a hero, still can't believe he's no longer with us

[@offason]

He's still around

[@Wolveten]

I was fortunate to meet Lemmy a couple of times back in the day. When your a teenager and you meet him for the first time there is a sense of intimidation from him, then he starts talking to you and you realize what a great guy he is. Miss ya buddy!

[@philippetrape9295]

Gosh. I loved so much this man. His spontaneity. His charisma. His attitude. Everything. He was the most refined and polite man and he hated bad manners as he rightly says in this vid. A very special, genuine and true rock player. Miss you man...

[@ciganyweaverandherperiwink6293]

He was rough and wild but he was a gentleman who kept his neck wound in. Wonderful rarity.

[@jonhoward180]

Does KZbin have a default setting where I can automatically like anything featuring Lemmy?

[@minekush1138]

If I had a time machine I'd go backwards in time to meet Lemmy kilmister also Bob Marley is on the same list 😂

[@johnstoner666]

Gotta be the most badass man thats ever lived...fuck he even looks badass!

[@lazer2365]

He's probably been eating traditional Finnish Blood Dumpling Soup. That would give anybody a badass.

[@tostare]

I love Lemmy. Always an absolute joy to listen to - one of these people like Lennon that always says (said, sob) something quick and funny and at the same time incredibly perceptive and true. I don't think I've ever heard Lemmy say anything stupid.

[@trailblazing2576]

Lemmy was a teacher of philosophy actually

[@lomaalexmichaelm.8902]

Trail Blazing woah really? source perhaps?

[@trailblazing2576]

@@lomaalexmichaelm.8902 Aggrrrrr...Its all motorhead lyrics and the attitude they represent!!!

[@kevinlane7555]

I worked a Motorhead show in a small club back in 1980 something, and after the gig, I stood in the middle of the house floor and had a chat with Lemmy....He was a smart, thoughtful, and funny guy...that was when he was still wearing the white boots, and the show was loud enough to loosen the fillings in your mouth...

[@dannyhubbuck7127]

He was a genuine chap with a great sense of humour. Unique, funny, polite and very intelligent.

[@Ali_gosun]

he was the coolest person and a true rock star! RIP Lemmy...

[@NigelFortune]

Lemmy is a legend forever \m/

[@JSTNtheWZRD]

Motörhead is like our Beatles. It helps if you are or were a motorhead yourself and lived. The band starts to make more sense. The music embodies the drug perfectly. Do it long enough it becomes part of your persona and yeah motörhead makes perfect sense whether you still turn on or not. Rock n Roll. Today I drove down Lake Shore Drive in Chicago at 7am this morning at top speed listening to the NO SLEEP AT ALL live album and rolled down the window once I got to the John Hancock on Michigan Ave to represent Rock n Roll. Felt like a damn viking. Eat The Rich!!!!

[@ellimick5958]

Lemmy is the very definition of charisma: intellect, self deprecation mixed with the intense knowledge of having been around for decades by the time this video was taken. And props to him for calling out polite behaviour 😊!

[@CoolMikey81]

I miss listening to Lemmy 😩

[@rowanmelton7643]

Lemmy is the most authentic, humble and nice guy in rock and roll. Fucking legend dude, fucking legend

[@kappzr4537]

weirdest part of this is. nowadays, you want an interview with a band/front man of a band. their always backstage. this is 1988, lemmy's just doing a casual interview at reading fest as just a casual guy at a festival. the world/bands need more people like lemmy.

[@thadood4373]

"It goes hard then it goes soft again, it's like human beings" XD

[@rubymorris44]

I could listen to him all day.

[@rocknrollrecovery7402]

The only person I feel truly comfortable looking up to. He just had the best outlook out.

[@michaelashley5380]

do you think Lemmy is like every 80's heavy metal kids rock dad

[@2fast4u34521]

Hes fast and on Amphetamine. Legend!

[@dwaynejohnson8858]

RIP Lemmy was the greatest musician

[@myflatlineconstruct]

The gentleman. Beautiful turn of phrase and pure soul. Even though his music wasn't at the fore of my rotation, I admire the man. My regret is not meeting him since I lived not far. Also think about that. Of all the celebrity out there, I can safely say I could meet this legend if he were still alive because he was a real person. If I'm lucky I'll end up saying the same or some other on all the vids referencing Lemmy eventually. They're so many after all. Cheers this man. Let us see this and let his spirit ring for many many years.

[@jorgepaul5049]

He seems to be the anything come to his mind says it without fear of whoever

Jack of all trades and truly one of a kind. He’ll even make you laugh when he’s just telling it like it is.

Pure genius and wit is the main reason lemmy was lemmy any interview with him must of been a fucking challenge for even a professional....😎🤟

[@ATee-vx6dm]

Lemmy had genuine answers and oppinions of Finland and Finnish bands so it wasn't a bad thing for her to ask at all.

To see Lemmy in 80s in that Ramones t-shirt is the most natural, pure and true thing in the world. Then you see all these clowns wearing the same t-shirt today, (incapable to name half a song of Ramones) just because the logo was redeemed and became trend. Pure Decline..

[@YaBloodyDingbat]

LEMMY IS THE MAN!! I had the chance to see Motörhead around 15 years ago when i was 21. I'll never forget an older looking bikie guy asking me " how the fuck do you know this music?" I replied i don't fucking know been listening to it for years, what about you?" He then ripped off his shirt and was covered in Motörhead tattoos head to toe. FUCKING EPIC!!

[@DeathrashWhiplash]

What a fucken beauty RIP Lemmy

[@humungushumungus213]

Lemmy is not your typical uptight English kwanker, most of them act like Simon Cowell, that's why he moved to LA. His image does not match, what comes out of his mouth, he is a gentleman, and a nice guy. He ran Motorhead for a long time, he was allways there, good ole reliable Motorhead , until the very end. I have good memories , my late best friends son was named Lemmy, in honor of Lemmy. That Lemmy is alive and kicking, they both resemble real Lemmy. Just missing the warts.
