Mikkey Dee interview on Motorhead reunion, Cancel Culture, Lemmy’s prophecy & more

In this interview episode the legendary Mikkey Dee - the drummer of Motorhead and Scorpions (and earlier King Diamond, Dokken and Helloween) speaks about the newly re-released final Motörhead album Seriously Bad Magic and the legacy which Motorhead has left. Mikkey Dee also discusses which other unreleased and previously unheard by the fans songs Motorhead team has in the Snaggletooth vaults and how Mikkey, Phil Campbell and the Motorhead management decide on what to release and which live recordings to bring to the fans with their Lost Tapes. Mikkey also opens up about a possibility of a Motorhead reunion (RELAX, it won’t happen) and most importantly about the plans of a massive tribute concert with the biggest Motorhead friends to honour Lemmy and all of the past Motorhead members, and why the band did not do it right away. We also talk about the time when Mikkey Dee joined Scorpions and his attempts to bring more power and energy into the legendary rock band, as well as remember his days in Motorhead and how the band was challenged to evolve without changing their own sound, thus limiting their creative potential. Mikkey also shares his thoughts about why he is happy Lemmy did not get to see the current state of society and experience cancel culture and political correctness, and shares some of the funniest and more memorable stories which happened to the boys in Motorhead during their career. 00:00 - Intro 00:21 - Before we begin 02:15 - Motörhead legacy 07:59 - Lemmy’s prophecy 13:08 - Snaggletooth vaults 14:50 - Tribute concert 19:51 - Motorize Scorpions 25:01 - They played Rock ’N Roll 33:33 - On cancel culture 38:44 - To all the Metal Pilgrims 40:02 - What got left out... -------- If you would like to ROCK a Metal Pilgrim T-shirt and support the show (for which I’ll be VERY thankful), please check out this form - You can also support the channel and community on Patreon (again, I’ll be SUPER thankful) - Every dollar you invest will be used to produce better material!
