Black Stone Cherryn basisti paljastaa: ”Motörhead tarjosi meille kokaiinia kiertueen jokaisena päivänä”

Kentuckysta tulevan rock-yhtyeen Black Stone Cherryn basisti Jon Lawhon on antanut hiljattain haastattelun Rocksverige.se:lle, jossa on muistellut Motörheadin kanssa yhdessä soitettua kiertuetta vuonna 2009. Jon Lawhon on muistallut kiertuettä lämmöllä kertoen sen olleen yksi yhtyeen uran parhaista ja samalla paljastanut, että Motörhead tarjosi heille kokaiinia jokaisena kiertueen päivänä. Voit lukea Jon Lawhon muistelmia kiertueesta tästä:

”We toured with Motörhead in Germany in the winter time. It was just cold and wet. Beautiful country, but terrible time of the year to be there. We toured with them through one of the hardest seasons and they were always fantastic to us.”

”We did meet Lemmy and spoke with him and the funniest thing from the whole tour was that all of them would offer us whisky and coke every day. Not [Coca-Cola], but cocaine. We were, like, ’We can get down with the whisky, but with the cocaine, we’re all right.’ But it was every day that they would offer it to us, and every day we told them, and got the same speech every day: ’Can’t believe you’re in rock and roll and don’t do cocaine.’ And we were just, like, ’We just talked about this yesterday.’ [Laughs] They just didn’t realize they had just said the same thing to us the day before. [Laughs]”

”Everything you imagined Lemmy to be and Motörhead to be, they were. He called you a jackass in a heartbeat. [Laughs] He didn’t care and he had no remorse whatsoever. We tried to be as PC as possible, but we eventually got tired of that. [Laughs]

”We’ve always considered ourselves like the southern rock Motörhead, because we won our fans the same way they won theirs. Just be honest, play the live show, don’t suck. If you suck, you lose fans, so we work really hard trying to make our live shows as good as possible.”
