I know this is very hypothetical but without drugs will there be a Motorhead oh yeah there would be some sort of thing Oh probably kill mother who's that slang crispy treat you when you started moat red that was after he was kicked out of the Hawkwind hmm because of drugs well because of the wrong kind of Jason yeah because they were all saying enjoy sir just different drugs in so why was why was it so bad to be on the rocks your world long as I was the last Speed Freaks he has when they gets him all awake night stealing [ __ ] like that so they're all like dedicated dope smokers and taking acid man and you know obviously gas into reverse speed freak is rolling on it get me across the speed freak he got me into the band so he could have somebody to Chum out with you know and then he left and I was the only one left so they were done to get rid of me really ever since he left you know they didn't realize that it would screw the band if I did you know haha and then you started out as a roadie for Jimi Hendrix yeah and you've said in so many interviews that the only drug you really hate is harrowing yeah it's true so anyone neighbor saw killed people and ever saw anybody die and anything else nothing you know it's always Harry or possibly damage yeah you know that's the same sort of syndrome why do you think that heroin is so much worse than the other hard drugs it's just like it's too easy to [ __ ] up and it's too good for people to deal with that the buzz must be fantastic I've never had it you know but I mean it must be great because people die for it and they spend their entire lives looking for the next shot you know I'm it's [ __ ] terrible so yeah just really makes you into a dog and then it kills you in nature into a thief and a [ __ ] you know and then and then you die in a public toilet with an embolism in your [ __ ] arm I don't think so you know you think that more people should try acid now actually I didn't say that I said that it made me a better person for having taken it if you think you can do that George go ahead and do that um you know cause it's very expensive hobby but the you know the point is this drugs makes you feel better and as long as they do people will want them and as long as people want them somebody somewhere is going to show up with them right so there's no point saying just say [ __ ] no and all that stuff that just doesn't work you know a lot of the big musicians of actually giving credit to to drugs Virchow source of inspiration right well they are you know as long as it as the buzz goes on yeah how do you written any songs directly as a consequence of doing drugs I was thinking on different drugs I mean someone speed someone I said uh which other one seems well I've never done any acid since I started Motorhead I mean 75 is last year I took acid and I was so awkward then yeah so I never done anything because I got sick of watching the same movie you know can I was doing from 67 till 75 so that's a pretty good run that's it yeah there's a lot of acid believe me it was a lot of message because you know they say it doesn't work two days in a row we found out if you double the dose it does so yeah but I really don't advise kids to get on dope you know because with a lot of them it does lead down to heroin I mean sometimes the straight people are right and they're right in the fact that one drug will lead to another because you meet more people that are doing drugs you

Love how honest he is

I saw the time stamp and thought, “what could he have to say in less than four minutes?” A lot, actually.

I was at music uni in, I think, 2016, and we had Lemmy come in for a talk. The room was packed, we all wanted to hear his stories. He was there for about 2.5 hours, and in that time he consumed two 2 liter bottles of Jack Daniels, and what must have been at least 60 cigarettes. They had to disable the fire alarm system before he arrived. Got a photo with him somewhere. He was a lovely guy.
