In a new interview with Metal Pilgrim<\/a>, former MOT\u00d6RHEAD<\/strong> drummer Mikkey Dee<\/strong> was asked to share a particularly memorable “crazy” story that happened during his time with the band. He responded (as transcribed by BLABBERMOUTH.NET<\/strong>): “That’s the hardest question you can ask me, because like Lemmy<\/strong> [late MOT\u00d6RHEAD<\/strong> frontman Ian Kilmister<\/strong>] used to say, ‘We are ‘Spinal Tap’<\/strong> with no script.’ Because there was shit happening \u2014 funny stuff \u2014 every single day. But I can’t just take one [incident]; it’s too hard because we had so<\/em> much fun together, and there was so much craziness<\/em> happening that today sometimes if I’m lying in bed thinking back on certain tours or whatever, I go, ‘I can’t believe<\/em> that happened.’ Today it’s almost impossible to think because the world has changed so much with acceptance of everything. One thing I’m glad Lemmy<\/strong> [doesn’t] have to experience is this fucking political correctness that I can’t<\/em> stand.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Asked if he thinks MOT\u00d6RHEAD<\/strong> would be “canceled” today if the band was still active, Mikkey<\/strong> replied: “We would be so off the scale. I mean, to play a joke on someone and then to take a joke from someone, that is life; that’s the way it should be. But today you can’t say anything<\/em>, really, before people freak out over absolutely nothing. And no sense of humor at all.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

“So, I’m glad Lemmy<\/strong> doesn’t have to experience this because he would be going fucking crazy,” he added. “‘Cause he was a jokester, and with MOT\u00d6RHEAD<\/strong> we played jokes on each other all<\/em> the time, and with other people. And we were good sports, and we could take any kind of joke back. So that’s how we were. That’s why a lot of craziness happened in a very funny way. But thinking about some of this shit, I go, ‘Oh my God. If we would do this now, we would be in jail. We would be off this planet. They’d put us on the moon, for sure.'”<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lemmy<\/strong> died on December 28, 2015 at the age of 70 shortly after learning he had been diagnosed with cancer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

MOT\u00d6RHEAD<\/strong> had to cancel a number of shows in 2015 because of Lemmy<\/strong>‘s poor health, although the band did manage to complete a European tour a couple of weeks before his death.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In June 2020, it was announced that Lemmy<\/strong> would get the biopic treatment. The upcoming film, “Lemmy”<\/strong>, will be directed by Greg Olliver<\/strong>, who previously helmed the 2010 documentary of the same name, “Lemmy”<\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A custom-made urn containing\u00a0Lemmy<\/strong>‘s ashes is on permanent display in a columbarium at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood, California.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
