Despite being eligible for the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame for more than 20 years already, the late Lemmy Kilmister and his band Motörhead are still noticeably absent from its list of inductees. It’s a glaring oversight that Metallica frontman James Hetfield lamented in a new interview.
“The most rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle-living person on this planet is not in the Rock & Roll Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, a shame,” Hetfield told The Metallica Report podcast. “It’s kind of a disrespect to rock ‘n’ roll, basically.”

Earlier in the interview, Hetfield opened up about important Lemmy was to him personally. As we previously reported, Hetfield recently got a tattoo with Lemmy’s ashes in the ink, which he also elaborated on.
“Adriana, my girlfriend, her best friend passed away,” Hetfield said [as transcribed by Blabbermouth]. “And we had just talked about the ability to put ashes in...

The affection that James Hetfield feels for Motörhead’s late frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, is well documented: Metallica have covered “Overkill” dozens of times, the whole band once performed as “The Lemmys” at Kilmister’s 50th birthday bash, and Hetfield’s lyrics to Metallica’s “Murder One” is basically a string of Kilmister references. Now Kilmister will forever be a part of Hetfield since the singer blended some of the Motörhead frontman’s cremains into tattoo ink and got an Ace of Spades tat on his right middle finger.

After working as a musician for several decades, Pink is bound to have a song or two that she dislikes. She revealed that she had some regrets about the way a song might have hurt her husband. The song she regretted more is one that many of her fans likely paid little mind. Pink shared why a song recorded for the show SpongeBob SquarePants was a mistake.
Pink said a song she recorded in 2009 was a mistake
When asked about the most regrettable singles of her career, Pink admitted that there are many songs she no longer loves. The first that came to mind was “True Love,” a song she released in 2013. She opens the song with the lyrics, “Sometimes I hate every single stupid word you say/ Sometimes I wanna slap you in your whole face.”

Drummer Mikkey Dee has doubled down on his previous assertion: No Lemmy, no Motörhead.
After stating earlier this year that he and guitarist Phil Campbell — the remaining members of the band — would never tour under the Motörhead name again, Dee clarified his comments in a new interview with Chaoszine.
Although he said he will still continue to play Motörhead songs in other capacities, like his Mikkey Dee and Friends collective, performing as Motörhead with a replacement for late frontman Lemmy Kilmister is not an option.
“I said, ‘We will never, ever get back together and replace Lemmy. That’s impossible,'” said Dee, referring to his March interview. “I said, ‘But doing little constellations, doing some tribute stuff, that’s great.’ That’s very, very different. And I think [the press] said something, ‘Mikkey will never play Motörhead [songs] again.’ … I said that’s not what I said at all. Of course I will play Motörhead.

"Rick and Morty" is coming back in October for season 7, but when the Adult Swim animated series returns, you might notice a slight change in the title characters. Then again, based on the new trailer, maybe a lot of people won't have any idea that series creator Justin Roiland, who also provided the voices for both title characters, has been replaced by soundalike actors who have yet to be named.
That's right, this new "Rick and Morty" season 7 trailer debuts the new voices for Rick and Morty, and for the most part, whoever is providing these voices does a pretty damn good job. Morty is clearly the best replacement, because Rick occasionally sounds a bit off, but the actors who have been hired to replicate Justin Roiland's unique character voices mostly nail the vocals of their predecessor. Listen for yourself below!

Carrie Underwood, as both a country singer and an American Idol winner, knows that the stakes are high and the odds are against her as the opening act for Guns N’ Roses. But as she has been proving this week, she’s willing to gamble — just like Motörhead’s late frontman Lemmy Kilmister. At gigs in Moncton, New Brunswick, and Montreal in the past few days, she’s included a raucous rendition of Kilmister’s calling card, “Ace of Spades,” in her set list.

Video from the event shows the two musicians holding what looks like a small pyramid with Kilmister’s signature Civil War–styled Hardee hat perched above it before placing it in a display case.

Motörhead‘s rare cover of the Metallica classic “Enter Sandman” has been unearthed for Motörhead Day — the annual “8th of May” celebration of the late Lemmy Kilmister and company.
The track hails from a 1998 Ecw Wrestling compilation and was relegated to that CD for nearly 25 years. The cover has now been made widely available on streaming services and YouTube with a new animated music video that offers a Motörhead spin on the concept of the original Metallica clip.
The cover is a faithful rendition and highlights just how influential Motörhead were to bands such as Metallica and modern heavy metal in general. Lemmy’s interpretation is convincing enough that one could imagine him penning “Enter Sandman” in some alternate reality.
Metallica and Motörhead were close during Lemmy’s lifetime, with the former even playing Lemmy’s 50th birthday in 1995, all dressed up as the man himself under the moniker “The Lemmys.

Motorhead officially died not long after the only man that stayed with the band the entire time passed away in 2015. Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister was what many would describe as one of the best guitar players in the world, second to none and possessed of a skill that has yet to be rivaled by anyone. Unfortunately Lemmy was diagnosed with a very aggressive case of prostate cancer and in 2015 his heart gave out, taking from the world a talent that had been rocking for about four decades in a manner that has yet to be replicated.

Creating culture within science-fiction can be tricky. It’s potentially alienating, with the audience required to understand allusions without a reference point. Then again, if you throw in too many contemporary references, the future starts to look dated pretty quickly. Red Dwarf has walked that fine line, building its own stars and entertainment but chucking in the familiar, just to keep the world grounded. We take a look at humanity’s future culture as seen through the eyes of Lister, Rimmer, Cat, Kryten and Holly.

They were one of the most epic bands of all time, so it’s no wonder that Motörhead should also star in a video game that’s certain to delight fans and could even win some new ones over to their music.
But first, a little about the band’s history. Set up in 1975 by Ian Fraser Kilmister – or Lemmy to the world – over the 40 years that they were in action, up until Lemmy’s untimely death in December 2015, they had a huge musical output. This included 23 studio albums, 10 live ones, and 12 compilations. On every single one of them, the volume was certainly turned up to 11.
As well as their prodigious output and their well-earned reputation for a hard-living rock and roll lifestyle, the band, and Lemmy in particular, also had a keen eye on producing merch trading on the Motörhead name.

Synapse Films made many viewers happy last year with their Collector's Edition Steelbook Blu-ray release of Dario Argento's Phenomena, aka Creepers, and if you didn't pick up the Steelbook, you'll soon have a chance to purchase the film in a standard (but still extraordinary) two-disc Blu-ray this September, along with The Creep Behind the Camera.
Featuring three separate cuts of the film, the Phenomena Blu-ray will be released on September 12th, the same day of Synapse Films' Blu-ray and DVD release of The Creep Behind the Camera, which explores the stranger than fiction story of the making of The Creeping Terror (which is included in the special features with a new 2K scan).

If you’re going to emulate a classic series like Diablo, you might as well get it right. So many action RPG’s have sought to recreate the same kind of balance between combat, advancement and loot collection of Blizzard’s revered classic, but few of them are able to match the formula. Victor Vran: Overkill Edition is the latest in this long line of pretenders to Diablo’s throne, and you know what, it puts on a bloody good show.
The game structure is so close to Diablo, it might as well have been copied and pasted into some kind of procedural generator. The central hero, Victor, differs from those in Diablo because he stands alone as the only choice, and instead of different characters to choose from, changing his armour will dictate the kind of build players will focus on. There are a number of light RPG features...

I know you have just come back from the Cannes festival, where you premiered Return To Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 2 (2017). Can you tell me what your experience was like in Cannes this year?
It’s getting more and more difficult at the Cannes film festival for independent movie artists to do publicity, unless they have the hundred thousand dollar posters or the money for the big party that worships the shrine of money and jewellery and fashion. Cannes is more about the jewellery and fashion than it is about movies. It’s clear the Cannes film festival does not want any independent movie there that is not part of the elite, that’s not part of the club, that is not part of the very refined fascist mentality. I think they show good movies, but if those good movies are not in with the club, forget it. Troma is famous.

Need a break from 9-5 monotony? Mayhem is one wonderfully violent “fuck you” to corporate culture, satirical in its ability to bastardize desk-jockey soullessness. We spend hours upon hours working for bosses who benefit the most, but how long can power gaps linger before tensions boil over? Director Joe Lynch accelerates this process with an injected viral string, uninhibited colleagues and a quarantined Thunderdome, all in the name of pencil-snapping stress relief. When systems break down, it’s time for the underlings to rise – golden parachutes aren’t saving anyone.

He's swinging his chainsaw hand and beer is flowing all over. It looks fantastic!!
Unfortunately, that party is about to be cut short, as Ash announces in this promo, "We're gonna go to ElK Grove, Michigan. It's my hometown."
Um...yay?
Before we go any further...check out this totally awesome poster that was released, as well. Can someone print it out and send it to me? Please??
Covered in blood as usual, his faithful sidekicks Pablo and Kelly don't look so excited.
But how else are they going to "put an end to this horse pucky once and for all"?

[Editor’s Note: Our own Scott Drebit hosted panels last weekend at the sixth annual Calgary Horror Con. At the three-day event, Scott caught up with Ari Lehman, the first actor to ever play Jason Voorhees, to discuss his years in the ’80s New York City music scene, performing onstage in Africa, and singing and playing the keytar in his punk rock/heavy metal band First Jason.]
Congratulations on melting everyone’s faces off Friday night with your solo performance as First Jason.
Ari Lehman: Thank you! That’s why we’re there, to melt faces, to melt brains. That’s kind of you to say. I love playing First Jason’s songs on the electric keytar; it has a certain kind of sound, it’s very loud. But usually I have the emotional and musical support of my bandmates; my drummer, whose name ironically is Bass Amp, and our guitarist, Eddie Machete—they give me so much support, and it just makes me feel great having them there. So I felt that it came off well; but it was an adjustment. The audience was so receptive and it was a great experience for me, too, playing that way.
I was there with my niece, and I knew of the band, but I assumed it was just you.
Congratulations on melting everyone’s faces off Friday night with your solo performance as First Jason.
Ari Lehman: Thank you! That’s why we’re there, to melt faces, to melt brains. That’s kind of you to say.

From celebrated director and writer John Carney (Begin Again, Once), Sing Street arrives on Blu-ray, DVD, Digital HD and On Demand on July 26 from Anchor Bay Entertainment.
Audiences everywhere will be dancing in the streets when Anchor Bay Entertainment and The Weinstein Company release the universally praised film, Sing STREETon Blu-ray™ and DVD July 26, 2016 from Anchor Bay Entertainment and available on Digital HD and On Demand from Starz Digital July 26, 2016.
From celebrated director and writer John Carney (Begin Again, Once), the film features a stellar cast with Lucy Boynton (Miss Potter), Maria Doyle Kennedy (“Orphan Black”), Aidan Gillen (“Game of Thrones”), Jack Reynor (What Richard Did) and newcomers Kelly Thornton and Ferdia Walsh-Peelo. The Rotten Tomatoes Certified Fresh film is “funny, charming, poignant,” according to Katie Walsh at the Los Angeles Times.
Sing Street marches to the beat of an eighties drummer with the music and influence of The Clash, A-Ha, The Cure, Duran, Genesis, Spandau Ballet, The Jam, Motorhead and more. Also included in the film is an original emotional ballad “Go Now” penned by Maroon 5’s frontman Adam Levine.
Sing Street takes us back to 1980s Dublin seen through the eyes of a 14-year-old boy named Conor (Ferdia Walsh-Peelo) who is looking for a break from a home strained by his parents’ relationship and money troubles, while trying to adjust to his new inner-city public school where the kids are rough and the teachers are rougher. He finds a glimmer of hope in the mysterious, über-cool and beautiful Raphina (Lucy Boynton), and with the aim of winning her heart he invites her to star in his band’s music videos. There’s only one problem: he’s not part of a band…yet. She agrees, and now Conor must deliver what he’s promised – calling himself “Cosmo” and immersing himself in the vibrant rock music trends of the decade, he forms a band with a few lads, and the group pours their heart into writing lyrics and shooting videos.
Inspired by writer/director John Carney’s life and love for music, Sing Street shows us a world where music has the power to take us away from the turmoil of everyday life and transform us into something greater. Sing Street is “an irresistible, feel-good movie”, Leonard Maltin.
Sing Street is rated PG-13. Runtime is 106 minutes. The Blu-ray and DVD bonus content includes Making Sing Street, Writer/Director John Carney and Adam Levine Talk Sing Street and nine cast auditions.

Is the WWE Hall Of Fame about to get another non-wrestling inductee?
Mick Foley has taken to Facebook to lead calls for the late lead singer of Motorhead to be inducted posthumously into the Hall Of Fame over the WrestleMania weekend in Dallas.
His simple post said simply that it “makes perfect sense” to him, eliciting a major response from his followers, who he thanked in a response for their engagement. He also went into greater detail on why he deserved to be included after a split response:
“As long as there is a celebrity wing of the WWE Hall of Fame, the company can induct people who made a particular WrestleMania a little more fun, or people like Lemmy, who have left an indelible footprint on the product.”
The point about indelible footprints is a pertinent one: can it be argued that he made as big an impact as Drew Carey?...

The friends and family of the late Lemmy Kilmister, known for being the truly rock and roll heart of Motörhead, gathered yesterday for a funeral service. Lemmy died in late December from to a particularly aggressive form of cancer. His funeral was filled with tributes from the likes of Foo Fighters frontman Dave Grohl, Slash, Judas Priest's Rob Halford, and Anthrax's Scott Ian. In his eulogy, Grohl described his first meeting with Lemmy, describing him as his hero, "the one true rock and roller who bridged my love of AC/DC, Sabbath, and Zeppelin, with my love of GBH and the Ramones and Black Flag." Fighting back tears, Grohl closed his speech by quoting the Little Richard song "Precious Lord Take My Hand." In his speech, Slash spoke about being "fucking intimidated" when he first met Lemmy with Guns N' Roses in London. "He was such a fucking...

Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister, who died December 28 at the age of 70, didn't drink milk. He says so in the above ad for a Finnish Milk company called Valio. (To get his point across, he adds, "You asshole.") The ad is a remake of a classic Finnish dairy ad, which you can see below. His presence, and the way he points his walking stick in the camera's proverbial face, is so Lemmy, so #Metal. The commercial, so banal it's almost surreal, has becoming a touching tribute to the man who went hard and loud, and who didn't drink milk.

[Lemmy passed away yesterday. Rip, you badass!] As we watch what may soon be the end of Motörhead, with a fine new album just out but iconic leader Lemmy's failing health forcing him from the stage on multiple nights, let's also look back at a milestone in the group's long career.
Bassist/singer Lemmy Kilmister started Motörhead in 1975 after getting kicked out of prog-rockers Hawkwind for being jailed on a drug charge in Canada during a tour. The band's early days were not marked by success. After being signed by United Artists, Motörhead's first shot at recording an album was rejected, and the label then blocked the group's attempted release of a single on Stiff. In '77 -- the lineup having completely turned over aside from its frontman -- they were ready to throw in the towel and even scheduled a farewell concert, but then Chiswick Records gave them money to record a single and...

In a moving Rolling Stone interview published Tuesday evening, Ozzy Osbourne memorialized his late "hero," Lemmy Kilmister. The iconic Motörhead front man died yesterday after a brief but fierce battle with cancer, and the Prince of Darkness, a longtime friend of Lemmy's, was one of the first to spread the news. "I'll miss him so much," Ozzy told Rs. "We all will. There's a big hole in the music industry as far as I'm concerned." In his lengthy chat with the magazine, Ozzy also recalled, among many things, the iconic singer-bassist's insane lifestyle, seemingly boundless intelligence, and impressive songwriting skills:On their tours [Lemmy] was the king of partying for a long while, but I'm sure he didn't keep it up forever. You could not do it. Lemmy was a fucking monster for it. When [Motörhead] toured with me, it was like Spinal Tap. They'd come off the stage, soaking with...

“Have a drink or few. Share stories. Celebrate the Life this lovely, wonderful man celebrated so vibrantly himself. He Would Want Exactly That.”
So here we are, in a world without not only Lemmy and his whiskey-fuelled outlook on life, but without the immortal snarl of Motörhead forever ready to kick into life at a moment’s notice. It goes without saying that Lemmy’s music with the band exceeded his own reputation (only just), birthing one of the most well-known rock songs of all time in the ferocious Ace of Spades, or giving the metal genre one of its core pillars of existence through...

To get your head right for reading a tribute to Motörhead's Lemmy Kilmister, who died from cancer yesterday at 70, I would suggest you should read this piece loud. I don't know how you'd do that, exactly, but Lemmy would find a way. There are some rock musicians — and you can count Lemmy among them — who, through a combination of staying power, singular vision, and fate become the embodiment of a particular idea of rock: John Lennon is forever the Ur-idealist; Keith Richards, the lovable rogue against which all other scarf-wrapped and kohl-eyed rogues are measured. Commercially speaking, Lemmy lived on a more modest floor of the tower of song, but he was one of those totemic figures, too. Indeed, he was something close to a folk hero — the embodiment of music as driving aggression, of rock as a way of life. He was a man who’d mainlined the...

It has been a rough month for rock n’ roll.
Lemmy Kilmister, the iconic frontman of Motörhead, passed away Monday at the age of 70 just days after being diagnosed with an aggressive form of cancer.
Kilmister, who had continued touring right up until his death, had been having health issues for the better part of 2015, but refused to call it a day, despite being forced off stage and cancelling a number of shows. In true rock fashion, Lemmy refused to give up.
The rock legend – who notoriously claimed to have drank a bottle of Jack Daniels every day since turning thirty, and who recently stated he switched to vodka from whiskey “for his health” – was an icon in the business who also launched a Motörhead wine, played with Dave Grohl of the Foo Fighters and appeared in the video for White Limo by the band.

Following the sudden death of legendary Motörhead front man Lemmy Kilmister on Monday, the band decided to retire in his honor. Motörhead's current drummer, Mikkey Dee, confirmed to Swedish press shortly after news of Lemmy's death broke that they will not continue as a band without their founder: "Motörhead is over, of course. We won’t be doing any more tours or anything. And there won’t be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone." Motörhead recently wrapped up their final tour in Berlin, in support of their 22nd and final album, an end to the band's long, loud career that Dee now says he's surprised Lemmy was able to see.
