This article is worth seeking out. Excellent writing; probably the best article I've ever seen about Lemmy, with a great two page photo on the opener. It's a long article. The writer totally gives Lemmy his due as a musical giant; admits he's not very impressed with Lemmy's Nazi gear collection but is fair enough to quote Lemmy's assistant: "I'm Jewish and this doesn't bother me". Some people might not like the writer offering his opinions on Lemmy's lifestyle (he seems to think Lemmy's life is a little sad, with no real relationships) but Lemmy gets his full due as an artist.
The "vampire" in the title is just a reference to how Lemmy never seems to age (though I think that part of the legend is a little overstated)
thanks for the "review" , sounds like it's worth looking for the mag then - i wasn't too sure about it and in the meantime it's a bit difficult to get single-issues in my area since the little foreign-press-shop here is owned by a new company...

Just got the new Rolling Stone in the mail (for some reason I get it for free. I'd NEVER pay to subscribe!) Anyway, yeah, the Lemmy article is pretty choice! Like Smoke said, well worth seeking out!

Gregor mate, thats a good bootleg. Its proshot with good sound (Eeven if it isn't the whole show), well worth the bit of cash. Oh and Jake Brown's new book "In The Studio: Motorhead" has been released early, and it is official as it was written with Lemmy himself.
