Pitch Weekly (www.pitch.com) has issued the following report from Saby Reyes-Kulkarni:

Though the thought of waking up Lemmy Kilmister to do an interview might seem like a scary proposition (1 PM may as well be dawn to Lemmy), the Pitch was almost shocked by his friendly, easygoing manner. We caught up with the legendary MOTÖRHEAD frontman at home in Los Angeles, readying for this weekend's Freaker's Ball and a subsequent European tour.

The Pitch: L.A. seems too fake for you. What do you get out of being there?

Kilmister: "It isn't fake. There's a lot of really talented people here, too, don't forget. And anyway, home is in your head. You live inside your head. If you ain't comfortable there, it doesn't matter where you live. And if you are comfortable there, it doesn't matter where you live. So I'm quite happy. I've made a lot of really good friends in the States. I like Americans, apart from the government. I'm having a good time over here, so why shouldn't I live in L.A? It's no worse than anywhere else. There's a lot more fakes in New York, I think, because of that fuckin' artistic scene. All them wine-and-cheese parties in the afternoons. Painful."

The Pitch: How many of those have you been invited to?

Kilmister: "Only one. [Laughs] My God, have you heard the way these people talk? Do they study at some sort of college for this shit?"

The Pitch: You just have to pray they have some good booze and some good food to stuff in your pockets to take home.

Kilmister: "[Laughing] Pockets full of cheese biscuits and leggin' it for the door!"

The Pitch: You mentioned the U.S. government.
Kilmister: "I don't like any government, truly. I hate all politicians just by definition. If somebody wants to be a politician, there's already a serious question mark next to them. Imagine wanting to kiss other people's babies! Fuckin' hell, it's hard enough kissing your own, you know! You have to be two-faced. That's the first requirement. In case the party changes its stance on something, you gotta be able to turn straight around 180 degrees and lie."

The Pitch: And say, 'I always felt that way'.

Kilmister: "Yeah — 'I always thought they were cunts!' [Laughs]"

The Pitch: What's your take on 9/11?

Kilmister: "September 11th was George Bush's Reichstag fire. It's exactly the same. Politician seizes disaster and takes away civil liberties in the name of freedom. It's just crap. The American people are no safer than they were before. It's just difficult to get on a plane.

Genesis has announced the following message:

"An official announcement about the band's plans for 2007 will be made on Tuesday, November 7th. Full details will be made available first on this site (www.genesis-music.com) at a time to be confirmed.

No further information will be supplied until that date and we respectfully ask that people desist from sending emails, letters and making phone calls for advance information - this will NOT be provided until the official date. Thank you for your patience until then."

What they are referring to is, of course, the news that the popular band will tour in 2007 (Collins, Banks and Rutherford), but without Peter Gabriel (at this stage).
