So today, I’ve been watching the “Lemmy” movie, that I picked up on DVD a few days ago. I never bought any Motorhead albums, but I’ve heard so many songs on the radio of course. After seeing this DVD, really makes me want to start collecting Motorhead albums.

This movie, “Lemmy”, is so special. It’s one of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen. Once you see the film, you’ll understand Lemmy Kilmister as a musician and as a person, 100%. With Lemmy’s image, the way he dresses and looks, he maybe kind of scary and mean looking, but in reality, he’s actually one of the friendliest musicians you could ever meet. Plus, Lemmy Kilmister isn’t the type of guy that would live in a private mansion, hire people to take care of him around the house, or have bodyguards everywhere he goes. He also doesn’t travel around in limo’s.

The truth about Lemmy is that he doesn’t live in a very big house. He lives in Los Angeles currently. He lives alone. His house is actually a mess, he doesn’t clean. He cooks his own food as well. Things he likes to do other than music, he likes to collect things. He also plays video games, casino slot machines and watches cartoons. Yes, they actually showed footage of Lemmy watching cartoons several times in the documentary.

The life of Lemmy Kilmister, he is just a regular guy keeping things casual, like all of us. He’s a very rich guy, yes, but when you watch this movie, you’ll know that he doesn’t live his life that way. If he wants to go to a bar to have a few drinks, he’ll go by himself. If he wants to go shopping for music at record stores, he’ll go.

I respect Motorhead. Do you know how a lot of legendary bands like the Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, the Who, etc. Break up and have long hiatus’s in between albums? Not Motorhead. They released their debut album in 1975 and the band kept going to this day, all the way up to their new album, “The World Is Yours” that they just released not too long ago, with no breaks in between. Motorhead kept releasing a new album year after year.

This was a very nice documentary, and it showed some deep insight about Lemmy Kilmister that you would never know about. He’s willing to meet fans in public everywhere he goes, so he treats his fans good. There are too many bonus extras on the disc, there’s a lot to go through. There’s live concert footage of Motorhead and extra footage from the documentary that was taken out of the movie itself.

If you’re a fan of music, you don’t have to be a fan of Motorhead to see this movie. The point of this movie is that this film wants to introduce Lemmy and Motorhead to newer fans of today’s generation. If you’re a longtime Motorhead fan, anyway, then this is a must see for you definitely, but I suggest new fans to check it out too. It’s a shame that Motorhead haven’t been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, when they deserve that more than any other band out there.

The documentary includes other interviews with other famous rock stars such as Dave Grohl, Ozzy, Steve Vai, Alice Cooper, Slash, Duff McKagan, etc. Billy Bob Thornton has an interview with Lemmy in the documentary ’cause Billy Bob is friends with Lemmy.

This was a very good DVD and worth the purchase. It’s kind of expensive, but I was just dying to see this movie so I bought it anyway, but it’s worth it. I don’t see Lemmy ever retiring Motorhead. He’ll keep the band going until the day he dies, I’m sure. Pick up this on DVD or Blu Ray soon. You’ll love it too. It’s inspiring.
