The Motörhead Interview That Completely Went Off The Rails (1986)

In this rare and hilarious interview from the Orgasmatron era, Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister sits down to discuss the band's long-awaited new album, life after the collapse of Bronze Records, touring plans, and the changing Motörhead lineup. As you'd expect, the conversation quickly goes off the rails. Lemmy shares the story behind the title Orgasmatron, jokes about fame, parties, and Samantha Fox, talks about Motörhead's growing success in America, and previews the band's appearance at the legendary Monsters of Rock 1986 festival. Packed with classic Lemmy one-liners, backstage stories, and plenty of rock 'n' roll attitude, this is a fascinating snapshot of one of heavy metal's most iconic bands at a pivotal moment in their career. 📼 Originally aired on the influential Music Box television channel — which reached 60 million viewers across Europe and Asia — this footage has remained unseen for decades. Sunset Vinyl restores and upscales iconic music interviews from the 80s, 90s, and 00s, bringing lost moments in music history back to life. 📩 For licensing enquiries: [email protected]
