Lloyd on Lemmy
Troma’s Lloyd Kaufman remembers Motörhead’s Lemmy Kilmister.
The following Lemmy tribute was written by Lloyd Kaufman: writer, director, producer, co-founder and president of TROMA Entertainment for Girls and Corpses Magazine.
December 30th, 2015 was my saddest birthday. It was my 70th birthday and I was with the Guna Indians in very remote San Blas Islands when the news of Lemmy Kilmister’s death reached me. The loss of Motörhead legend Lemmy, on December 28th, 2015, had a significant impact on myself and Troma Entertainment. Lemmy was a regular actor on Troma movie sets for twenty years, generously lending his time to make cameos in a number of our films: Tromeo & Juliet, Terror Firmer, Citizen Toxie, and Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 1 & 2. As a musical contributor, Lemmy and Motörhead kindly gave their song “Sacrifice” to the soundtrack of Tromeo & Juliet, and contributed the song “Outlaw” to 2011’s Mr. Bricks: A Heavy Metal Murder Musical. …show more content…
The Troma team and I have very few sincere friends in the mainstream, so to lose Lemmy makes us all especially heartbroken. He was a true shit-disturber and a great role model for all aspiring shit-disturbers. I had the pleasure of hanging out with Lemmy a few times at his favorite LA haunts, the Rainbow Bar and Crazy Legs. Lemmy lived what he wrote about in songs. He was a true rock & roll icon, on and off the stage. That is why I asked him to play the U.S. President in Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol. 1 and Return to Nuke ‘Em High Vol.
