Motorhead's wild frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, recently told the Artisan News Service why his band mates were insulted by the makers of the Lemmy: 49% Motherfucker, 51% Son Of A Bitch documentary.
Sparking the debate were comments made by Motorhead guitarist Phil Cambell, who responded to a question by Radio Metal asking why he and Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee rarely appeared in the documentary:
"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 fucking years and the biggest shot they got of me is laying down to sleep in the bus with 'Familly Guy' on the TV! (Laughs) The movie's about Lem, but it's really insulting to us. What a bunch of cunts!"
In the Artisan News Service interview, Lemmy returned fire:
"What it is is they're looking at it through Motorhead eyes, you see?! It's 'me, me, me.' Every one of us is an egomaniac. But it was a film about me, you see?! So I tried to tell them that, but, of course, I can't really tell them. So I got the film guys to tell them. So blame them. I have no control over what they think of it, no. Because it's not that kind of a band."
