The Los Angeles premiere of “Lemmy: 49% Motherf**Ker, 51% Son Of A Bitch” drew a who’s who of Rock royalty last week: Guns n’ Roses/Velvet Revolver’s Duff McKagan, Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, Henry Rollins, Warren Haynes and the man himself, Lemmy Kilmister. Check out the Shore Fire blog for video from the red carpet and behind the scenes photos of Lemmy here: http://bit.ly/iblODf
NPR.org says the movie is “a profile of the man that goes deeper than just the sex, drugs and rock ‘n’ roll” and “Lemmy’s exterior may seem as gruff and distorted as his trademark bass tone…but as seen here, he’s all heart.” Full review here: http://n.pr/hpYTzJ
