Lemmy Movie Causes Rift in Motorhead

03/11/2011
. (Rock News Desk) Lemmy says his Motorhead bandmates can't be forced to like his biopic � and the reason they don't is because they can't understand it's about the rock icon and not about the band.

Greg Olliver and Wes Orshoski spent three years filming before releasing Lemmy: 49% Motherf***er, 51% Son of a Bitch. The movie has drawn rave reviews from all corners of the globe, except from guitarist Phil Campbell and drummer Mikkey Dee, who are upset over how little screen time they get.

Lemmy says his bandmates' reaction is beyond his control. "They're looking at it through Motorhead eyes, which is 'me, me, me' � every one of us is an egomaniac," He tells Artisan News. "But it's a film about me, and I tried to tell them that. Of course, I can't really tell them, so I got the film guys to tell them. Blame them!" more on this story
