Motorhead's Lemmy Reveals Surprising Favorite Band

(Classic Rock) Lemmy has revealed a secret love of Swedish pop icons ABBA. The Motorhead frontman made the admission and also compared modern music stars to the rockers of his day - saying today's acts prefer "peppermint tea and biscuits over Jack Daniel's and strippers."

Lemmy tells the Huffington Post: "We're hearing a lot of guff about young male musicians requesting peppermint tea and biscuits rather than Jack Daniel's and strippers. Do you think the identity of the male rock star has changed?

"It depends who you're talking to really, doesn't it. I mean some people are still wild, although it's getting more and more difficult and some people, you know, like the mineral water. I don't know. I have to drink some of that sh*t now, but there you go."

Asked to reveal something that would surprise his fans, he adds: "One of my favourite bands is ABBA." Meanwhile, Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee says writing new material that sounds like their old songs is "very hard." Read what he had to say here.
