In a new interview with Australian Musician editor Greg Phillips, former MOTÖRHEAD guitarist Phil Campbell was asked if it gives him a great deal of satisfaction to see people still holding late MOTÖRHEAD leader Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister “in such high regard” a decade after his death. Campbell said: “Yeah, well, he deserved it. Lem, he was such a unique character, and he was honest. He was an honest person, an honest player. Just the vibe about him, he was so unique. There’ll never be another one like Lem. He loved meeting the fans and everything. And the music inspired so many bands as well. And he stuck to his guns. He wouldn’t compromise for anyone. His lyrics were amazing, although in the music business very well underrated, I think. His lyrics are absolutely incredible. He was always reading a book. And he had his personal gambling machine in the dressing room where he’d win his own money back. I’d often go into his dressing room and give him my loose change — I’d give him, like, five coins or 10 coins, whatever I had lying around, and he’d stick them in. And that’s just what he enjoyed. And there won’t be another character like Lem coming around anytime soon. But yeah, it’s greater that he’s honored and remembered. And yeah, he should be, ’cause he was an icon of rock and roll, I think.”
