Motorhead Guitarist Unhappy With Lemmy Film
Plus the next Motorhead album may be a covers or acoustic record
Motorhead guitarist Phil Campbell has revealed that he and drummer Mikkey Dee are a little peeved that they don’t feature more prominently in the new Lemmy documentary – PLUS he has revealed that the next Motorhead album may be an acoustic or covers album.
Blabbermouth picked up the story from French radio station Radio Metal in which Campbell speaks about why he and Dee don’t feature much in the new film.
"Speak to the movie people! That's what we're pissed off about. They spent three years following me around and Mikkey around, all of us, you know, three fing years and the biggest shot they got of me is laying down to sleep in the bus with 'Family Guy' on the TV! (Laughs) The movie's about Lem, but it's really insulting to us. What a bunch of cs!"
He goes on to reveal that the next Motorhead album may be either a covers album or an acoustic album.
"I had the idea to do an acoustic album. We might also do a cover album. Our next album might be this album of covers. We've done loads of these. We've done 'Cat Scratch Fever', we've done 'Shoot 'Em Down' by Twisted Sister, 'Hellraiser' by Ozzy Osbourne, 'God Save The Queen' by the Sex Pistols, we got 'Rockaway Beach' by the Ramones and more. But this album is just an idea for the future, we don't know yet what's going to be on it."
And expect an autobiography of sorts from the guitarist in the future.
"I'm doing my book at the moment; it's going to contain a lot of funny stories . . . It's a book about all the f***ing unbelievable shit that goes down on the road. (Laughs) Funny stuff, yeah. It's not going to be about my life story, that's boring! But we don't know yet when it's going to be released. We're starting it now, but I guess we can expect it to be out in about three years."
Don't forget that you can get the brand new Motorhead album, The World Is Yours, right now as a special limited collector's edition Classic Rock Magazine pack. It's the only place that you will get the album this year.
