Support-Letter from "LEMMY : BÄSS & VOCALS : L.A. 10/28/2001
To whom it may concern: Some time ago, Peter Sempel asked me if he could do a documentary film on me. I said OK. Almost 3 years later, it is finished and he showed it to me in Oct. 2001. He's made a good job of it and in regard of his work I would be pleased to promote (interviews/limited personal appearances (my schedule with my band permitting) the finished product. He has my full support and admiration!Yours sincerely, LEMMY (aka I.F.Kilmister)"

update, 24.3.2003:
Although there are many fans who´d be pretty eager to get a LEMMY-video or DVD i still haven´t got a company to organise this (..till now it hasn´t been a question of money). (I don´t send any tapes away anymore(the ones i did send away, nearly all have the name of receiver or a special mark in picture, so i can track down pretty easily, where a possible pirate-copy would come from )- ohboy... lets hope we get it soon now!!! verybestregards!Longlivelemmyandmotörhead!!! peter Email: sempel@t-online.de or fax: ..49-40-31798100 or ...3193197

Review from a fan, L.A. 05/04/2002.:
The film was so fucking cool (2 hours !) It had a hilarious interview w/Ozzy who stated that if a nuclear bomb ever detonated, there would be 3 survivors: Rats, Keith Richards and Lemmy. He loves Lemmy a lot. Footage included live songs from everywhere, Rehearsal w/Brian May , Fast Eddie and Phil doing Overkill with a vicious solo by Brian May. I SWEAR THIS WAS THE MOST INCREDIBLE MOMENT I HAVE EVER SEEN MUSICALLY! I was numb. Lemmy was kicking the shit out of his bass and Mikkey was doing some serious double bass work. Footage of Lemmy in his WW 2 museum condo, Interviews w/Mikkey and Phil, Mikkey drum solo (YEEESSSSSS) and Phil getting his Mom & Dad tattoo. I met Mr. Semper and best of all... I got you some flyers and a bitchin postcard. Wish to god you would have been there. Even a little interview w/ Fast Eddie and Lemmy's son.

on 6.dec. 2001 we finished the final cut at AVID-Studio (VCC)
and 17.dec. final soundmix (dolby-surround) for 35mm (at STUDIO FUNK).

on 10.10.2001 after driving through the desert from Albuquerque to L.A.: sat on Lemmy´s sofa and we watched the final version of "LEMMY", 111min - it was very good (then drove directly back to wonderful Albuquerque).


---
at the first testscreening with final cut, at metropoliskino (sept.01), 100 spectators (80 in black leather, 20 "normal" people) everybody(!) loved the film!!!


3 new short interviews: with son of Lemm, Paul from London at the Rainbow and : this beautifulviciouslookingbitch named Corey (Nashville Pussy), just loveable!!! - and the expert Ace Trump. Then I showed Lemmy new version of the film, also with guest Brian May on "Overkill" - again he liked it a lot and suggested to get some sort of kick for the title - like f.ex. "LEMMY Out Of Here" (Corey-idea), or "LEMMY, the Singer" (Dieter Meier-idea) or, well... "LEMMY ..something" or " ..something.....LEMMY"

Since 11/98 filmed: 6 concerts (totally), several interviews with Lemmy, backstage, at studio - HE´S ACTUALLY SINGING ACAPELLA, YOU´LL NEVER FORGET THIS! - , in bars and in his apartment in L.A. (a real museum!), making very clear his ideas about "Third Reich", also recording a song at studio; stories from Mikkey Dee (also drumsolo at studio) and "goodmoody" Phil Campbell (how ya do it??) - both working together in studio for new song (record: 2000); Ozzy Osbourne (with his killerdogs), Derek Green (Sepultura), Nina C. Alice ("Skew Siskin"), Slim Jim (at his "Cat Club", Sunset Blvd.),with Skin (Skunk Anansie) London 12/99 (Dec.´99), Mario (Rainbow, L.A.), Todd, Uriz von Oertzen, Rainer and several friends and helpers,
some wonderful fans and surprises...
15. juli 2000: at Monsterrocknight: interview with DORO (she has beautiful blue eyes).
In 2000 I filmed at another 6 concerts, including soundchecks and "special moments"


This is a true independent film. Long Live LEMMY and MOTÖRHEAD !!!

update 28. Jan. 2000, now it´s 6. june and still same situation!, now it´s 12. of nov.
In the last months I received many e-Mails and faxes about "LEMMY" and also "NINA HAGEN-Film".

Dear music- and film friends please forgive me for hardly answering - lots of you are very encouraging, that is a good feeling (even though I didn´t get one single dollar for help).
Although only little history, mainly filmed 1999, you can experience just about all subjects of interest of the ol bastard, hero of Rock ´n Roll. So because of I´ve been waiting to finance the final cut I took advantage of time and filmed at another 6 concerts (Dortmund, the 25th jubilee in London, and more...)--I was lucky to get great new scenes and moments, f.ex. Lemmy singing his "blues-solo".
Soon the film shall be reedited, staying at a length of about 90min.

Motörhead fan Peter
