Mot\u00f6rhead fans got a heartfelt and hard-rocking look inside Mikkey Dee\u2019s world during his recent appearance on\u00a0Talkin\u2019 Rock with Meltdown<\/em>. The legendary drummer opened up about his years with Lemmy Kilmister, his new band Lex Legion, and life on the road with Scorpions during an honest and energetic conversation with host Meltdown.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Looking back on his 25 years with Mot\u00f6rhead, Dee spoke with deep admiration for Lemmy and the unique chemistry that made the band unstoppable. He explained that Mot\u00f6rhead worked like a true democracy, even if Lemmy could be stubborn about protecting the band\u2019s identity.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cLemmy really stuck to his guns,\u201d Dee said, recalling how the band sometimes voted against Lemmy\u2019s ideas when they felt Mot\u00f6rhead needed a more modern edge. But he also admitted Lemmy often proved right when it came to avoiding compromise and \u201cselling out.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dee painted Lemmy as the exact opposite of a typical rock star. Despite the larger-than-life reputation, he said Lemmy always stood up for the band instead of chasing the spotlight for himself. Dee remembered how Lemmy defended him when skeptical UK fans questioned the drummer\u2019s arrival in Mot\u00f6rhead after his time with King Diamond.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cHe was the least rock star,\u201d Dee said. \u201cThat made him so unique.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n One of the most revealing moments came when Dee explained how Lemmy insisted everyone in Mot\u00f6rhead be treated as equals onstage.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n \u201cThe first thing he said is that in Mot\u00f6rhead, all of us got to be front persons. It\u2019s not me in the front \u2014 it\u2019s all of us.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Dee also shared excitement about Lex Legion, his new project with longtime friends and fellow Scandinavian metal veterans. He described the band as a return to the adventurous songwriting style he loved during his King Diamond years. The debut album drops June 12, and Dee promised fans aggressive riffs, wild arrangements, and one of the most intense screams he\u2019s ever heard on record.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n Meanwhile, Dee continues powering through packed crowds with Scorpions during their Las Vegas residency. He praised the Vegas shows as \u201cfantastic fun,\u201d noting the band sold out performances and even broke venue records during last year\u2019s run.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n For Mot\u00f6rhead fans, Dee\u2019s appearance on\u00a0Talkin\u2019 Rock with Meltdown<\/em>\u00a0delivered exactly what you\u2019d hope for \u2014 stories about brotherhood, loyalty, loud music, and the enduring spirit of Lemmy Kilmister.<\/p>\n<\/div>\nKeeping Things Neutral<\/h3>\n
