Doro, music above all else


Could there be anyone any more adorable than Doro? Let’s admit it, we’ve been completely baffled by her passion and sincerity. So much passion that she actually seemed in tears. “Seriously, are you ALWAYS like this?” is what I had to ask her by the end of this interview.

Regardless of what you may think of her music, Doro fully deserves her title of Metal Queen when you see just how much she lives for it. Music, and metal in particular, is her whole life. And that’s not a metaphor : Doro actually made the decision not to marry nor have children in order to keep on touring and writing music. She’s so deeply into it that she admits to having a hard time connecting with people who aren’t into music : “My fans are my closest friends”. That says it all.

A moving confession.

Phil Campbell isn’t afraid to speak his mind!


In the documentary « Lemmy : The Movie », Mikkey Dee states “we are not faking it”. Motörhead is a band that takes full responsibility for itself. Motörhead will not hide the fact they made a load of cash via a Kronenbourg commercial. Motörhead are not afraid of clichés either.

As we entered the backstage area, we are not greeted by the Phil Campbell we are expecting to meet, but rather the perfect image of a rock star in all of its glory and excesses. There is nothing missing from this picture besides perfect a line of coke on the coffee table. To start off the guitarist, already dressed in his elegant scene attire, genuinely asks “you don’t intend to take any pictures, right? I haven’t shaved!”. He is holding a glass of white wine in one hand and a suggestively dressed young lady no older than twenty-five years of age in the other. Basically, this is the whole package. Ironically, we were intending on asking Phil about the fact that “Lemmy: The Movie” breaks down some of these rock’n’roll clichés. Then Phil offers us some beers from the heavy buffet (thank you Kronenbourg). When someone offers you a drink from Motörhead, they stick to it and it’s a question of honour.

The interview was going well until we asked what seemed to be a somewhat insignificant question that we had almost removed from the list. Without taking into account Phil Campbell’s damaged ego (an ego that comes out various times throughout the interview), he drops a bombshell answer in which he expresses his displeasure with the directors of “Lemmy: The Movie”.

Alright, enough with the teasing: [url=#article#]here is the interview[/url] held only a few hours before the band were playing the Halle Tony Garnier.

Lemmy : The Interview


Radio Metal has had the honour of taking part in a little chat with God himself, aka Lemmy Kilmister. But Lemmy, actually, doesn’t give a crap about God. Lemmy likes rock’n’roll, the Beatles, Jack Daniels, Third Reich uniforms, being in adverts that pay him enough to make more rock’n’roll, buying Beatles albums, Jack Daniels, Third… Well, you get the gist. These are simple things for a simple man who doesn’t fuss about. The proof is in this phone interview characterised by his sharp humour and friendly spirit – as long as you don’t interrupt him when he’s playing with a pinball machine, right Doc?

Simply put, here is the little discussion we were able to have with one of the greatest, if not the greatest, icon of our favourite music.
