How entertaining can it be to watch a bunch of ageing rock musicians wittering away for an hour plus with occasional interjections of music? If you are a Motörhead fan, or even if you are not, it could be very entertaining indeed, with one big caveat - if you are offended by strong language, this is probably not for you!
This documentary - if it can be called that - is basically a collection of anecdotes by band members from its formation, which came about when Lemmy Kilmister was sacked in the middle of a Hawkwind tour, through the recording of their first single up until about the time the film was made. Drummer Phil Taylor - who died last month aged only 61 - met Lemmy by chance, and Fast Eddie became a band member on that account. Sweet Providence!
The guys direct a lot of affectionate criticism at a lot of people, including themselves. A man who cannot laugh at himself has no right to laugh at others, the men from Motörhead can, which is what makes them so endearing.
