Without Motorhead there would be no Metallica or Nirvana

In an interview with SeattleWeekly, Duff McKagan (Velvet Revolver / ex-Guns N Roses) discussed the importance of Lemmy in rock music.

"Lemmy was a big influence in terms of my style of play. I dare to say that without Motorhead there would be no Metallica, Guns N Roses, Nirvana, Alice in Chains and Nine Inch Nails . "

"In the new documentary there's a moment where Dave Grohl talks about what it means for Motorhead. It is a glorious moment, you should see the movie."  he said.

Critics from around the world are tired of "Lemmy". The film won the best documentary of the year to Edit Film Festival in Santiago, Chile last weekend, and was a huge hit in 12 international festivals, including some from France, England, Germany, Spain and Australia.
