Lemmy | Guitar Moves Interview
ฝัง
- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 26 มี.ค. 2024
- Matt Sweeney hung with Motörhead's late, great Lemmy Kilmister at the icon's favorite LA haunt, the Rainbow Bar & Grill, for one of the British legend's final video interviews. Lemmy lived and breathed rock 'n' roll, but as his impact and influence on the genre and all of its wild offshoots-heavy metal, punk, rockabilly-makes clear, his legacy goes deeper than that; Lemmy WAS rock 'n' roll, and a huge part of that was his never-say-die attitude and rowdy musicianship. Ever the gentleman, after a drink and a game of video poker Sweeney spoke on his love for the the signature Rickenbacker bass guitar, auditioning for Hawkwind, his mother's love for lap-steel, and how seeing the Beatles for the first time changed his life-and by extension, changed rock'n'roll forever.
After the interview, Lemmy’s farewell to Sweeney was “It’s good to meet someone who gives a shit.”
Heaviest Guitar Moves episode for sure.
Original Air Date: September 14, 2016

He was so unwell at the end, but still point blank refused to submit.
Matt Sweeney is a national treasure. Thanks for getting legends like Lemmy to give us a glimpse into their world.
Bringing Lemmy back from the dead to do a Guitar Moves is the most metal thing ever 🤘
The way Lou Barlow plays in Dino Jr. is definitely Lemmy inspired.
Sweeney: “It still sounds really good to me!”
Lemmy: “Nah, it doesn’t sound good to me either” lol
Tough gig this interview. Glad we got it though. Thank you.
The world was a better place with lem in it! We all miss ya lemmy!
this was hard to watch. Lemmy knew it was close.
Goddamn this man is the literal embodiment of rock n roll. Rest well Lem❤
It is hard to describe how it feels to see Lemmy like this. Underneath the hair dye and rock and roll clothes was an old man with failing health. This is the first time he ever looked… frail.
Frail = drunk
He wasn't even that old, he was 70 when he passed, 4 days after his birthday. So he was 69 here
Lemmy he'd been drunk on camera for 40 years, this was different. He seems like an old man in this clip.
@@evaplavalagunahe lived a hard rock and roll lifestyle for 55 years before this. It's a wonder he made it to 70. His lifestyle would have killed most people by their 40's or 50's. Tough old bastard.
@@Charlesbabbage2209 Simple as cancer.
Anyone whos seen it knows what it does to people, even if the personality is bright it can make the strongest person look like someone you could knock over with one of those japanese hand fans.
Reality is in this footage the man was terminal and at the end stages. All things considered the fact he was even up and out of his house is remarkable
Another amazing video. These are so touching. Thank you!
Been waiting patiently for this one right here
God bless Lemmy! Been waiting for this episode to be reuploaded
The pure joy of this is breathtaking
such a special moment, thank you for doing this
I can’t wait ❤️
I love this series of interviews watched them many times. Think m sweeney is a great interviewer too. This Emmy one was brilliant but also sad as he was coming to the end
Lemmy man!!! ✊
The first time I saw Motörhead changed my brain permanently, like the first time I dropped acid. The absolute best! 🤘
Thanks again, Matt. Your show is a national treasure.
Matt you did a good job. Guitar Moves is important.
Matt - so great-
Metal as fuck! Thank you Lemmy for everything and making bass playing cool 🔥🔥🔥💀🤟
Chills...
this is like an all time life achivement
I was lucky enough to see him play three times with Motörhead. Even got his bass pick framed when he threw it out into the audience. Was in 2005 when Lemmy was still at the height of his badassery. So sad to see him like this, but awesome that he was still smiling and uniquely Lemmy Kilmister right to the very end 🤘
What a treat
Legend
Poor Lemmy, may he rest in peace
Hard to believe the original lineup is all gone. Physically anyway
R.I.P LEMMY
MIS YOU DOG
REST IN POWER 🤘🏻
👀
Cool to see some bass love here! 😁 Keep up the great work, Matt!
Everything about this is awesome.
Man I miss Lemmy...
Lemmy was such a part of the Rainbow that his mail was delivered there.
Great humility and greatness from both parties ❤❤
Lemmy loved his crank
RIP Lemmy.
He's my father figure, no joke
😔❤
Matt really likes a hot room
MOTORHEAD IS THE REASON WE ARE A BAND
I love every episode. Any new episodes on the horizon?
RIP
Can anyone figure out what pickups are on Lemmy's bass in this vid?
🇨🇦👽🎸👍🏼
Oh man…..he was so sick he couldn’t play. It’s hard to watch 😢
Never seen him not smoking in an interview
"Hi"
Even in his worse states, he was so much more aware and ambulatory than Shane McGowan toward his decline. So, what was the confounding variable? Heroin? Kilmister was famously anti-cocaine. Anti-Heroin. Both men were heavy drinkers and LSD and cannabis users. Any med students want to weigh in?
Sweeney!!
Lemmy was a legend and fantastic human being. If you go to LA, make the pilgrimage to the Rainbow and see the history of the place and have a drink in Lemmy's corner. His ashes are being interred there soon apparently, so it's his now. RIP you fucking God of Rock.
In the last years he changes Jack and Coke to Orange Juice and Vodka
More healthier, Lemmy are fantastic
"an enormous child"
He should have brought a guitar
MATT U FUCKING RULE DUDE
Who wins in a wrestling match, Lemmy or God?!
Trick question… Lemmy is God!
Trick question....
get jimmy page on this
Is Matt Sweeney a scooby doo villian come to life?
Like James Hetfield stated, imagine if Lemmy was fully on. The world wouldn’t be able to contain him…I wish he was fully on because seeing him like this is sad.
"Seeing Lemmy like this is sad" is one way of looking at it. Kind of like a "glass half empty" thing. Another way of looking at it is to be thankful Matt was able to get this last interview for posterity.
@@danielstoddart You can also look at it like an inspiration. When you see larger than life guys like Lemmy or a Johnny Cash who are struggling health wise, yeah it is sad, but it's true to life as well. When I see videos of Lemmy playing those last shows, despite dying of cancer and whatever other ailments were affecting him, is inspirational.
Little late
Sad to see Lemmy in this shape he should've been in a hospital bed looked after instead of this interview was taking place.
He lived on his own terms rather than submitting to the illness, he'd rather do what he loved than ending his final days in a cold hospital room.
@@simmoisbest1 maybe he could've lived longer enjoying the things he was doing for few extra years. Who knows though non of us his doctor
Sounds almost dead there
In the very end he was only able to end himself...But I'm on this way, so it's OK..
...what?
Matt Sweeney is a bozo.
Matt is a terrible guitarist.
Your Mother is a terrible parent.
@@epidot76 she was.
So you choose to perpetuate her misery? Hooray for the world.
@@epidot76 I don’t.
Sending love to ya
Bless him ❤
well, that was sad to watch. RIP Lemmy.
