Members ashasha Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 It was like a two hour documentary on him, pretty interesting. The guy is definitely unique. At some points I wasn't sure if I was watching an episode of hoarders or celebrity rehab, but it was in an interesting look into an icon without a lot of filter between him and the camera unlike so many other shows.

Members walrus1 Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 {censored}, i was going to watch that then forgot. Is it going to be on again? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members ashasha Posted February 12, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 I'm sure it will be, they tend to recycle these things pretty heavily. I must have watched Beyond the Lighted Stage two dozen times now. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members walrus1 Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Tonight at midnight! Cool. 9PM too, but i'll probably miss that one. freaking DVR doesn't work for the high numbered digital channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DARKMETL/ Posted February 12, 2011 Members Share Posted February 12, 2011 Yeah I watched too, was very cool. Would like to see the uncensored dvd with all the extra bonus stuff. Lem is a cool cat for sure. I got to meet and talk with him for a bit and got to hear first hand some of the Beatles and Hendrix stories. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members cale76 Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 I dvr'd it. Haven't had the chance to watch it yet. I should go to bed, but I might at least start it (even though I know damn well if I start it I will plan on finishing it tonight). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Absolving Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 Watched it on Icefilms awhile back, found it inspiring. Definitely hoarders/celeb rehab (minus the rehab lol). Lemmy is no doubt a real rock and roll fixture. What bothered me was it seemed at times the guy was talking {censored} at Lemmy like he had no respect.

Members curseoftruth Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 I watched in on DVR last night, really enjoyed the movie but it left me wanting a lot more than VH1 showed - guess I need to get the DVD. He is an interesting character and one of the last true rockers left alive. I was a Motorhead fan back in the early 80s but once Metallica and the rest of the thrash movement hit, they kind of got left in the dust around 83 or 84 time frame. I met him in LA once back in the early 90s, said hello and he obliged back. Was sitting at the bar at the Viper Room drinking by himself (was at a movie premier party for Airheads, met Chris Farly, Adam Sandler, Judd Nelson and a few other stars that night, was a blast).

Members Alex_SF Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 Was going to DVR it, then discovered that the show was actually this movie: http://www.lemmymovie.com/ - which is apparently still making its way around theatrical releases in the U.S., and is coming out on DVD next week. Decided I didn't want to see it with all the bleeps and ads, so I ordered a copy. He's a pretty hilarious & interesting character -- the Ace of Spades Classic Albums DVD is fun. I met him in LA once back in the early 90s, said hello and he obliged back. Was sitting at the bar at the Viper Room drinking by himself (was at a movie premier party for Airheads, met Chris Farly, Adam Sandler, Judd Nelson and a few other stars that night, was a blast). I "met" him briefly at a Motorhead show in '85, in this little club in Sacramento (the Oasis Ballroom, long since gone). He was just standing in the audience watching the opening act. It was too loud to have anything like a conversation, and I was a dip{censored} teenager who probably wouldn't have been able to think of anything useful to say anyway, but he was gracious enough to give me a handshake and an acknowledgement. I wonder how he deals with no-smoking policies at the clubs he hangs out in. Do they just let it slide for him and suck it up if they get fined? I somehow can't picture him going out to stand on the sidewalk. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Bbreaker Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 From what I saw of Lemmy on VH1, uh, he lives in a rent controlled apartment that is loaded with lots of stuff. Almost childlike.Mumbles through his responses. Is it the rum & coke?Has very little fashion savvy.Through it all, Lemmy sounds like a good guy.You'd think he would be in better living quarters.He should clean his apartment.

Members ashasha Posted February 13, 2011 Author Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 Well out of everything that was on the video (messy apartment, etc) the only thing that I found really odd was his obsession with slot machines. I just never understood the attraction to them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BlackCat Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 I'm sorry I missed that. I guess I'll order the DVD. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members big_aug Posted February 13, 2011 Members Share Posted February 13, 2011 I watched it last night. I thought it was great. It seems he keeps that apartment because he got it years ago and the rent can only go up a certain percentage. It's only $900 a month or something for an apartment on Sunset which is really good I guess? I got the feeling that he was a really good guy. He is still definitely straight old school which is cool. I didn't get the hoarder vibe. Yea, he had a lot of {censored} and his apartment was cluttered up pretty good. I feel like that if I lived a life like his, I'd be keeping things from all the the good times and great places I've experienced. If he had a larger place, it wouldn't be as bad. Regardless, good movie. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
