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.

SHEEPS ARE NEVER FULL OF THEMSELVES FOR TOO LONG. MAYBE BECAUSE THEY DON’T LIVE LONG


Ivar Bjornson (Enslaved) : « You know, it’s impossible to catch a sheep that doesn’t want to be caught when it’s free in the moutains. »

Bruce Dickinson : ” Planet Earth, Maiden Force 1 calling “


[imgr_w=210]#images#/posts/2010/04/brucedickinson1.jpg[/imgr_w]Frankly, one wonders if there are really only 24h in Bruce Dickinson’s standard days. Aside his role of frontman for [urlb=http://www.myspace.com/ironmaiden]Iron Maiden[/urlb](which will release its 15th album this summer) and his solo career which he leads under his [urlb=http://www.myspace.com/brucedickinson] own name [/urlb], Bruce still finds time to fill his free time with a variety of activities. It has to be said: this great singer is not only successful in the music industry. The Iron Maiden vocalist’s hobbies are extremely varied, and in the last few years, he never hesitated to share them with his public.

Dickinson has for instance a great interest for literature. He demonstrated his writing talent in a book called Lord Iffy Boatrace, which was successful enough for the publisher to ask for a follow-up. The Television and Cinema worlds are also familiar with the great singer, who wrote the scenario for the fantasy movie Chemical Wedding, and who made several appearances in the BBC TV-series The Paradise Club.
