Lemmy in trouble with Germans

2008-07-11 by Iai EMERITUS | 20 Comments
Cool as Lemmy is, turns out he's also a silly billy. The Motorhead frontman is now under criminal investigation after deciding it would be a good idea to wear an SS Stormtrooper's during a photoshoot to promote an upcoming show in Germany.

"...I'll tell you something about history," quoth Mr. Kilminster. "From the beginning of time, the bad guys always had the best uniforms. Napoleon, the Confederates, the Nazis. They all had killer uniforms. I mean, the SS uniform is fucking brilliant! They were the rock stars of that time. What you're gonna do? They just look good. Don't tell me I'm a Nazi 'cause I have uniforms. In 1967 I had my first black girlfriend and a lot of more ever since then. I just don't understand racism, I never thought it was an option."

The German police aren't too enthralled by this excuse, however, and are investigating Lemmy's activities, as displaying Nazi insignia is a criminal offense inside German borders.

well duh, germany has pretty much the tightest anti-nazi policy in the world. just denying the holocaust's existence is illegal.
but lemmy has a point. whenever i used to play wolfenstein ET, i'd always try to get onto the axis side, simply because their trenchcoat uniforms totally pwned the allied uniforms

I admit the SS uniforms were pretty baller.
He still should have known better though, especially with the Germans.

Not the smartest move... I mean, seriously, in a land where a Punk-Mailorder selling pins that display a broken swatista or a crossed out one gets the police on their ass because of "the display of forbidden and banned insignia", showing up in an SS uniform does not get you in the best spot.

When it comes to Nazis and their stuff, law enforcers can not even spell the words "fun" or "joke" here.

Did nobody have the foresight, or indeed common sense to alert dear Lemmy beforehand to the fact that if he had an inclination towards wearing a SS uniform, Germany might not be the best place to do so?
Still, funny news

I sympathize with Lemmy, but it was still a moronic move on his part. Just because you put a spin on a controversial issue, doesn't mean others will understand as well.

It really wasn't funny or even edgy, as this type of thing is done by celebrities, on average, all the fucking time. Just a lame publicity stunt by an aging metaller. "Ace of Spades" still rulz though yo.

too many people have a stick of their asses, we are supose to have moved passed this, and yet somebody gets arrested for wearing a uniform. By the article it doesn't seem like he was saying anything bad. I don't understand some of these laws we as a world make, our emotions get the best of us way too many times.
