TRIBUTE TO LEMMY

Pünktlich zum 5. Todestag von MOTÖRHEAD-Mastermind Lemmy Kilmister haben die schwedischen Kultmetaller LION‘S SHARE einen Trbute Song veröffentlicht. „Killed By Death“ wurde von der Band neu aufgenommen. Die Einleitung im Video spricht niemand anderes als Drummer Mikkey Dee (MOTÖRHEAD, jetzt SCORPIONS). Für das Video hat Lars Criss unter anderem verschiedene Zeitzeugen und Fans befragt, deren gemeinsame Fotos mit Lemmy gesammelt und dann zu einer Videocollage zusammen gefügt.

Lars Criss kommentiert: „We had the pleasure of supporting MOTÖRHEAD, DIO and MANOWAR on the ‚Monsters Of The Millennium‘ tour, and all the bands treated us so extremely well. Lemmy was such a great and funny person to be around. I have so many great memories from that tour. Very cool to have fellow Swede Mikkey Dee (MOTÖRHEAD, SCORPIONS), doing the introduction to our video for the song as well. Plus, of course, the inclusion of all the great photos that Lemmy fans from all over the world sent in.“

LION’S SHARE Sänger Nils Patrik Johansson ergänzt: „Lemmy is truly the definition of rock ’n‘ roll – and even though LION’S SHARE is more heavy metal than rock ’n‘ roll, MOTÖRHEAD and Lemmy has been a great inspiration over the years. We’ve been talking about giving our friends and fans a surprise, and when I came up with the idea to cover ‚Killed By Death‘, Lars [Chriss, LION’S SHARE guitarist] was all in and made a great arrangement that just didn’t copy the original, which would have been pointless.“
