The Prague Post has issued the following report from Darrell Jónsson:

While debates rage in cyberspace over petitions calling for the knighting of Lemmy Kilmister, the grease-and-growl bassist/vocalist and founder of MOTÖRHEAD, he and his band are on an overnight bus haul to their gig this Saturday at Brno's Velodrome arena. As to whether he would accept the honor that his fans are clamoring for, Kilmister has said yes - even if he has to punch out BLACK SABBATH's OZZY OSBOURNE for the title.

Still, while commanding such loyalty, Motörhead has little taste for demagogy or resting on their laurels. Instead, the band is on a set of world-trotting tours this year, promoting their 24th studio album, Motörizer. This extraordinary endurance is what Motörhead fans have come to expect. Even after three decades of touring, Kilmister and crew are still doing what they do best: hard rock 'n' roll work.

Motörhead's career has always been more about brutal honesty and raw persistence than hustling or cruising for a lucky break. In 1975, recently fired from his previous band for a drug bust, Kilmister pondered his options. Along with his infamous expulsion from HAWKWIND, there were other issues, including stints with a string of British '60s bands with dubious track records, less-than-convincing attempts at being a lead guitarist, and a roadie gig with the JIMI HENDRIX EXPERIENCE that included supplying LSD to the band and keeping the amps from falling over whenever Hendrix and his guitar attempted copulation with the speakers.
