Lemmy Kilmister Quotes

I guess when you’re young you have tunnel vision Picture Quote #1

People don’t want to see the guy next door on the stage, they want to see a being from another planet. You want to see somebody you’d never meet in ordinary life Picture Quote #1

If I hadn’t been living here [in America], do you think we would have gotten a Grammy? No chance Picture Quote #1

It was just a mercy f**k, as it was our 30th anniversary. They gave Grammy to us for a cover of somebody else’s song. It would have a lot more meaning if it had been for one of our songs Picture Quote #1

We were nominated [for Grammy] once before for our album 1916. We were up against Metallica at the time and they had just sold a quarter of a zillion albums Picture Quote #1

We never played China, India or Africa. We also haven’t played Russia enough. I would love to play those places Picture Quote #1

I have never been married, but that doesn’t mean that I didn’t mate. As you get older you get too many bad habits. Who is ever going to put up with me? Picture Quote #1

We never nicked stuff from other bands because that was a no-no because we were all in the same boat. You don’t steal from the poor because, let’s face it, they’re poor. There’s no sense in that Picture Quote #1

All you got in life is your honor, man, your own self-image, your own self-respect. If you lose that, or if you give it away or if you sell it, then you ain’t got it no more Picture Quote #1

It is a well-known mystery that guitar players suddenly get better once they are dead. Buddy Holly was the first. Stevie Ray Vaughan is known by a lot more people than had ever heard of him when he was alive Picture Quote #1

I don’t do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It’s too late for regrets. You’ve already done it, haven’t you? You’ve lived your life. No point wishing you could change it Picture Quote #1

Randy [ Rhoads] had small hands. Boy, could he play guitar. He became an even better guitar player after he died Picture Quote #1

Apparently people don’t like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, ‘Oh! Wait a minute - I was wrong.’ I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you Picture Quote #1

Daily papers in England used to have an entire page of the paper dedicated to what the Beatles had done the day before Picture Quote #1

Eric Clapton wrote Layla when he was coked out of his mind. Later on, it nearly killed him Picture Quote #1
