Motorhead's Lemmy Kilmister is turning 68 in December, and while he is recovering from some health issues, he's not about to slow down. He's talking about new Motorhead records, a new Head Cat record, and a whole slew of tracks with various guests artists! Before any of that happens, Kilmister wants to finally put the finishing touches on his solo record.
There's an interview with Kilmister in the December 2013/January 2014 issue of Revolver magazine where he spills the beans on the solo record he's been promising since 2004:
"No, I ain't done yet with the music. After I get better, we're gonna try to tour again, and if I can't do that full-on, I want to do another album with [the rockabilly band] Head Cat, and, of course, I want to do a couple more Motorhead records. But the next thing I've got coming out is my solo album, which is almost done. I still want to do a track with [Skunk Anasie vocalist] Skin before I put it out. There are two tracks with the Reverend Horton Heat, two with The Damned, a track with Dave Grohl [Foo Fighters, Nirvana], and a track withJoan Jett. Right now we're thinking of calling it False Teeth for the Deaf. It's all just great rock and roll, that's the only way to describe it. Some of it is bluesy and some isn't. It's not Motorhead, but obviously there are elements in common."
Seriously, he's been talking about doing the record since 2004! Obviously he's been a little busy with Motorhead over the years and various health problems more recently, but back then he told Metal Maniacs magazine:
"I've got two [songs recorded] with [German hard-rock band] Skew Siskin [reportedly titled "Stand Upon the Mountain" and "Don't Matter To Me" Ed.], which are fucking great! And I've got two with the Reverend Horton Heat, some good psycho-metal-billy! I've got a track from Dave Grohl that I'm still sorting out and two tracks from The Damned [including a cover of The Damned's "Neat Neat Neat"]. That's with Dave and The Captain! Some good stuff."
The prospect of Solo Kilmister is awesome. Here's to hoping we'll get the record sometime in 2014!
