THE BIGGEST PHONY IN ROCK?(Could it be LEMMY?!)

Message Bookmarked

I feel dirty even thinking this, but Lemmy is an upstanding take-it-or-leave-it kind of guy who is also totally full of shit.

1. He dyes his hair and his beard. Sure, this is not really a big deal. It's just kind of surprising considering his "I don't give a shit" attitude. Imagine this badass macho man touching up his roots every couple weeks.

2. Says 12 warts on his hands just 'disappeared' while he was in the bath on day... and his hands 'weren't even in the water.'

3. Claims he pulled a sawed-off shotgun out of a thug's hand who was forcing some woman into a van.

4. Claims he and another guy scared away a gang of bikers. And other big fighting stories.

5. He's "so bad baby, he don't care!" But, uh, he believes in good manners ("why not, they're free, right?") and thinks everyone should have access to LSD to make them "better people."

Claims he never has hangovers because he never stops drinking. This is something I sort of believe because a functional alcoholic with a rockstar ego would probably say a lot of ridiculous shit like this, thinking it believable.

I'm sure he's not the biggest phony in rock, but his story-telling seems to rival Nikki Sixx's. And that guy's pretty full of shit!

Nothing, he just seems to be rather full of shit, don't you think? Sure, he's the God of rock n' roll, but I thought rebel music was all about frying sacred cows.

Why not post your address so you can discuss your concerns with Lemmy face to face?

Because I don't think Lemmy would take time to talk to me about how full of shit he is for starters.

...Sometime in the late 80's, Thrasher magazine published an article along the lines of "50 Reasons to Hate Henry Rollins", which was read buy a whole generation of american skaters. Apparently the article had some very provocative points and convinced many, many misfit-shirt wearing, vans shod teenagers with bangs in the faces that Henry Garfield was the biggest phony in rock. TO THIS DAY, THIS IS THE REASON most skaters and former skaters choose Danzig over Rollins in the eternal "Danzig versus Rollins in a fistfight" question.

Didn't Henry forcefully cum in a girl's hair or something? That's the story I always remember about "why Rollins is an asshole." I just remember his 80s videos in which he made himself out to be quite an asshole. And those little black shorts. And his books and spoken word. And now his movie corner.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Friday, 3 November 2006 03:43 (nineteen years ago)

Lemmy recently stated that 9/11 was, for President Dubya, the equivalent to what the Reichstag fire was to Hitler - a big fucking excuse to limit constitutional rights, allow the government to investigate people through means previously protected by privacy rights and so on. Which sounds about right to me. So rock on, Lemmy!

OK, I'll bite. If it was neither entertainment, edification, nor a dorky swordfight, what was your lofty purpose in starting and then shredding this thread like a pit bull in a kindergarten? A cunning social experiment to prove that music geeks really love Lemmy more than their own fathers? Was it Mavis Beacon's final "applied" exam?

― Shoes say, yeah, no hands clap your good bra. (goodbra), Saturday, 4 November 2006 04:48 (nineteen years ago)

It's a many nuanced thing you would not understand. But, for starters, take a look what was said unsolicited regarding Rollins and Danzig. Now, both of those guys could probably kick Lemmy's wirey speed-freak drunk ass, but neither commands the respect of Lemmy. And so, if you look at my opening line, I wrote, "I feel dirty even thinking this, but..." and then I embarked on what would seem a "blasphemous" journey to the center of rock n' roll integrity. Pretend it's no surprise that Lemmy's legend is built on lies, but the the initial reactions and continued balking belies the belated blasÃ© brushoff.

Whoever sings for Snow Patrol

I saw these guys on Conan, and the singer was so phony it was gut-wrenching. A thousand Holden Caulfields are born everytime they play. He does the Coldplay/U2 thing where he moves his hands in the air like he's God creating new species with his fingertips or something.

OK, I get it. You were trying to show that ILM's "respect" for Lemmy, being founded on his "legit, honest-to-god, real-tough-guy" status is hollow, and thus, ILM ought give it up. But what you didn't expect to see is that nobody gives a shit about Lemmy's authenticity, a fact that you still can't quite accept. Given the fact that 1/10th of ILM thinks that Paris Hilton is the greatest musical thing since Britney Spears, it's modestly surprising that you're under the delusion that anyone here cares about authenticity at all. Hell, ILM loves deceit, phoniness, inauthenticity, and pretty much anything if it's done well and in the name of entertainment. And that's because entertainment, from its genesis, has been about telling tales of things that never happened, expressing emotions never felt, wearing costumes not donned at work, and so on. To call Lemmy authentic, then, may be tantamount to calling him a poor entertainer. Even GG Allin, the paramount of ass-kickable stage-danger, didn't toss turds at the heads of his interviewers, at least after the show.

This topic still falls under category #3, tho. I suggest you shoot for #1 more often.

anyone who can play music like that for, like, the last 50 years in every shitty hall and club in the known universe, and abuse their body in unsavory ways for decades, without keeling over dead is plenty tough to me. i doubt i could do it for a month. he makes most people look like children. i don't even know any lemmy "lore". he seems like a nice guy. he has to be pushing 60 too.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 4 November 2006 17:30 (nineteen years ago)

I didn't want to take the wind out of Zachary's sails but weird hang gestures are hardly proof of phoniness. If it turns out that's how the music makes him feel like he wants to move, there's nothing phony about it at all. Ever rocked out in your bedroom feeling pretty cool-- like if only you knew how to play an instrument real good you might rock the fuckin' world apart-- only to catch a glimpse of yourself in the mirror and get the shock of your life? When I was in a band in high school, I saw video of me on stage and I looked like a plant. But, not a cool plant. A self-conscious plant. And I knew I was self-conscious, so I became determined to "let loose" like I do when I'm tearing it up in private. I also play better in private, so I thought this would be a good idea all around. So, then I decided I had to set a mirror up to see what I looked like when I was rocking out in private. It was then I realized I could never be a rocker because if I ever saw myself on MTV, I would say, "I HATE THAT FUCKING FAGGOT!!!" That is when I gave up the dream of being a rock star. I just look too much like a douche when I let the music move me. That is also why I don't dance.

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Saturday, 4 November 2006 17:32 (nineteen years ago)

hang gestures = hand gestures

Nope. Why would I do that? I've been listening to Motorhead non-stop for the last 2 weeks.

I didn't say that you wanted ILM to stop listening to Motorhead. I said that you wanted them to JOIN YOU in no longer respecting Lemmy. If you're gonna "nope" that in contrariwise airhead fashion, you truly have backed away from making any point whatsoever.

Well, what exactly is the point of your initial post? Is it just to destroy a sacred cow, as was said upthread no-one here really cares in that respect. Assuming that all the accusations against him are true, so what? They're all pretty trivial as far as I can see, if Paul McCartney was supplying a song to MacDonalds or Michael Stipe was acting as an advisor to Exxon then that may be something worth discussing, but the dude dyes his hair, like big deal.

I honestly think some of you guys are coming down too hard on Scorpion here. If it's true that you don't care, why are you bothering to make such a point of not caring? Additionally, he didn't say "Lemmy's a tough talking pussy and the biggest phony in rock", he just posed a question for thought.

In the grand scheme of ILM threads, I don't see how this is such an afront to everyone's sensibilities. There's a whole lot more credibility in questioning Lemmy's credibility than there is in starting a thread stating that Paris Hilton's CD is worthy of winning album of the year.

This was what got me thinking about it:

"Everybody's slipped back into tribalism. 'I'm in this tribe and I must wear only this color paint! I'm in this glam band so I have to dress up in spandex trousers and put my hair in a certain way. I must wear my cap backwards and wear a pair of shoes that look like I inherited them from my older brother and go out there making faces like a dickhead in front of a camera!' It's not necessary, y'can do what you want, be individual for God's sake don't be part of a 'movement'!"

— Lemmy on the liner notes of Orgasmatron.

Right. The hippy/biker/cowboy/hard-rock/metal/hard-rock-again dude, who wore a white tie when New Wave was big, shaved his beard and cut his hair when the clean look was in, piled on the leather when the times called for it and makes faces like a dickhead in front of a camera on a regular basis.

I'm not saying Lemmy's not an individual. By sheer fact of his moles and his voice he has to be. And, sure, he's been an original, too. But, there is a funny incongruous reality of the image and the man himself, even in his own mind, obviously.

And I think that line from No Voices In The Sky fits here pretty well, too: "Nobody gives a damn about anybody else, Think everyone should feel the way they feel themselves." I mean, is Lemmy's look so different or more individual than anybody with baggy pants and a backward cap? I don't fucking think so!

― Scorpion Tea (Dick Butkus), Saturday, 4 November 2006 18:58 (nineteen years ago)

i think you are a weirdo and all alone on this. and i was wrong about his age. he isn't pushing 60. he'll be 62 next year. all i know is he has been playing REALLY REALLY LOUD rock & roll for over 40 years. which is insane. i don't think many people care about lemmy stories. i've been listening to motorhead for over 25 years and i don't know one lemmy story. he's always seemed really consistent to me. like the tides. or the moon. or angus young.

― scott seward (scott seward), Saturday, 4 November 2006 19:15 (nineteen years ago)

I forgot to mention the Snow Patrol singer guy's eyes. The hand gestures, sure, he's feeling the power of his awesome lyrics, whatever. It was the eyes that were offensive. Several times, he leaned his head back, and his eyes starting twitching like he had just decapitated someone in The Highlander. He started blinking uncontrollably (well, he was totally controlling it, but whatever), and then his eyes rolled back halfway behind his eyelids, again, still shaking. It was like he was having unbelievable sex, or he had been shot, or he was trying to follow the clear light to nirvana, whatever, take your pick. Sure, again, maybe he was feeling the music. But somehow, playing in front of a Conan O'Brien audience sitting fifty feet away, (probably rolling their eyes for legitimite reasons), with cameras all over the place...I doubt he was having a personal breakthrough regarding the brilliance of his music.

I wish I could find a good picture of it.

- On several occasions during the winter of 1986/87, instead of running riot all night, drinking, drugging, fucking, fighting, riding motorcycles, using bad language, breaking all the rules, and staying one step ahead of the devil, Lemmy just stayed home, watched some telly, read a book and went to bed.

- Sometimes, Lemmy brushes his teeth.

- The cover to Ace Of Spades? Staged. (they don't even have deserts in Britain) (the bandoliers were rented)

- His name isn't even really Lemmy.

- Once? When it was cold out?
Lemmy wore mittens.
And it wasn't even that cold.

ON THE OTHER HAND

- Lemmy washes his hair with gasoline.
- Lemmy rolls his joints in rawhide.
- He lights them with a glare.
- Those little bottles of booze they have on airplanes? Lemmy thinks they're breath mints.
- When Lemmy gets a groupie stuck between his teeth, he uses Ted Nugent as a toothpick.
