Lemmy quote to Kris Needs, ZigZag, 1980
'We wanna be like Status Quo and go on forever. Chuck Berry never changed. Little Richard never changed. I’d rather be like that and stick to a formula we’re happy with'.

They did. But at least Lemmy hadn't thought they had in 1980! I wonder what he thought when he shared the stage with Rhino on 24.12.86! You'd be hard-pushed to find two more different bass players. |

I had one of those strawberry tees, too.  I'm fairly sure I got mine before 1976, though. Proud as punch I was. |

We can but guess But I don't think he appeared onstage with them again... I vaguely remember Andy in FTMO saying that Lemmy had turned up backstage after a gig, and I think it was the 90's. I remember Andy saying he passed Lemmy a can of Heineken, and Lemmy looked at it extremely disappointingly and muttered "um ta Andrew" |

He'd have told it like it was and probably summed up about 2 decades of Quo message board debates in one sentence.... |

On the other hand, Lemmy was passionately pro band....and a band's right to do what the @*%* it liked. Lemmy was also a very nice guy, and I doubt he would have caused a personal issue for no reason. Might have been interesting if it came up in an interview with Lemmy, but I don't think it ever did. |

Lemmy told A.V. Club about MOTÖRHEAD's non-experimental musical approach: "Oh, it's paid off in dividends for us and for quite a few other bands like STATUS QUO. There's been a lot of bands who've stuck to their original idea and it usually helps them out. It's when bands like to switch to what they aren't or what they think they are that's bullshit. It really turns out to be bullshit in the end. People changing because they think they should is not a good idea, because I just don't think they should, really. [Laughs] It's something I thought was a good idea in the beginning. Why change it? [Laughs] People seem to keep liking it, though we've done a few departures. We've made bad albums in the past, and people have bought them. I don't know. I don't care. I'm just grateful for it."
