Legendary rock bad-boy Lemmy has fired a scathing broadside at the attitudes and virtues of today’s music stars while also insisting hip-hop isn’t even music.
The 65-year-old, who has been dubbed the ‘baddest motherfucker in the world’ by Foo Fighters’ Dave Grohl, reckons there is no attitude left in rock music anymore and he doesn’t ‘get it’.
In an interview with the Atlantic City Weekly he said:

“It kills me how bland this period is.
“You go backstage these days and you see 20 bottles of Perrier and a bag of nuts. What’s wrong with this fucking picture? Everything is so healthy today and it’s terrible. I don’t get it.”
“What the fuck is it about John Mayer? Someone should explain him to me. And the same goes for Justin Bieber. They’re all such boring people. They’re so fucking serious. I’m not interested in people as boring as that. It’s a shame these people are popular entertainers.

On the subject of hip-hop Lemmy is particularly hard-hitting.
He explains:

“Why should I do that when it’s not music?
“There’s nothing creative about doing that [rapping] over music someone else created. They go out and take John Bonham’s drumming. I don’t call that music. You think they [rappers] could come up with sounds of their own, even some basic sounds and they can’t do it. Sad.”

Motorhead recently released the 20th album of a decorated rock career and Lemmy insists they have so intention of slowing down yet.
He adds:

“Making music is still a good time for us.
“As long we continue to have fun and people come out there’s no reason to stop what we’re doing.”
