(Classic Rock) Motorhead mainman Lemmy believes his move to Los Angeles in the 1990s changes the band's fortunes in the UK. The 68-year-old icon thinks audiences became more interested in them once they were thought of as an American act.

"The music business operates out of Los Angeles. That's it - even if you live in New York you're fooling yourself," Lemmy tells VH1. "And it was time for a change anyway, because the band was failing badly in England. We couldn't get arrested.

"Coming over here seemed to make is acceptable in Britain again. It's weird. We're like a foreign band now. It's exciting to see us because we don't live there." here.
