This dude deserves alot of credit Its not easy to step in that role especially when you're a new member.

Alot of musicians hate dealing with the industry, money, contracts and the stuff around it. It's great to have people like Mikkey who know how to deal with this stuff - which is really important if you want to get your band going

Not just a great drummer, also a great human being.❤

We saw you in your last stop in Reno. We flipped off Lemmy from the balcony when the lights turned up and he laughed, then the whole crowd started flipping him off. You were laughing too. A great memory. A great show. Take care, Mikkey.

Met him after a show in Toronto. Absolute gentleman

Damn he is fucking badass drummer

Love Mikkey. Glad I got to see Motorhead a few times. No nonsense rock n roll that attracted an interesting and eclectic crowd - rock, punk, metal and the curious

I seen him play with the scorpions last year . Good show !

Mikkey is a legend. Just seen him with Scorpions. Flamin’ legend.

Awesome drummer as was Phil..so underestimated the both of them ❤

I saw Motorhead in Spain in 2010 and this guy,s drumming was brilliant. Great swing and feel. Seriously impressive...and I,m not even a hard rock fan!

We all loved Phil Taylor, but Mickey was like a fucking machine behind the kit. He was perfect for Motorhead and I think his stability behind the kit unleashed Phil Campbell to be more experimental. Lemmy was very fond of Mickey too. Us fans will always have a soft spot, or is that a hard spot, for the D man!! ♠️♠️♠️♠️♠️♥️♥️♥️♥️♥️

more like the 5th , the original Motorhead drummer and guitar project got shelved and later released against Lemmy's wishes , then you have the classic line up with philthy and eddie, then the short lived robbo era , then the wurzel era (4 piece) then back to a 3 piece with mickey and phil , til the end @@SteLi400

On top of being a great, energetic drummer, Mikkey Dee always came across as a level-headed guy with a no-nonsense approach to both the entertainment side of the music business, but the serious side as well. Great interview. When you have someone like Mikkey over, you let him talk, like you did.

Dude is a badass drummer

I saw them in Portland Oregon in like 97. Lemmy would run offstage after the last note in the song and Mickey often had to talk to the crowd. You could see Lemmy partying offstage. Sometimes he came back with his drink or a joint in his mouth. It was one of the best shoes I ever saw despite all that. Saw them 3 times ultimately and they played the best that night.

Mikkey is a legend 🤘🏼

100% Mikkey was that engine that came in at the right time and brought that Wellington bomber (so to speak) nose dive up and leveled it out. And slowly and gently started pulling the stick back to again to raise the planes to what Motörhead became and was and still is.

Mikkey Dee YeaY!! I remember reading about him in Modern Drummer Magazine in the 90's (?). Knew of Motorhead, of coarse. Thought it was for biker bars. Years later with Mister Dee playing live I am a stone fan. This guy is a fantastic song playing drummer.

Once saw him a few years ago window shopping in Sheffield

I´ll never forget their hit poker face, the music video, the dogs, the lyrics, i go gaga every time i hear it.

Great drummer and seems like a nice fellow.

Lemmy needed a Peter Grant running the show. He would have made out like a bandit.

Irony here as it was Pete Gill who first attempted to do that and Lemmy considered him trying to steal his band jist by getting themto be a little more professional. May be by '92 they realised they needed someone to help with that side if things.

Mikkey had big shoes to fill after Phil Taylor left. It's odd so many loved Motohead but they didn't get the album sales weird one of the reasons thy had to tour so hard besides the fact they loved the life your in a band it's the whole point album every 2 years but toured twice as hard didn't sale out like Metallica Lemmy stayed true to his fans $$ not everything. Mikkey great drummer down to earth guy just the right fit. Lemmy picked Matt Sorum to cover for Mikkey for 2 weeks must have seen something there.

Cool interview

gr8 interview boys. ty

why is Lemmy’s estate in the hands of non family. why didn’t Mikkey take care of that?

Lemmy ,lo ke keria era tocar , divertirse , sin dolores de cabezas y sobre el dinero ke lo atendiera otra gente jjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjjj

The truth is: Lemmy could have done ANYTHING he wanted to, but he wanted to "celebrate" life & music with the world. When the managers/business/contracts/math comes into the celebration, it kill's the celebrations spirit! If pushed to hard Lemmy would simply say phuck music, and pursue something else! If Brian May can get a PHD in astrophysics, Lemmy could rule the world! \m/

Has anyone heard about the big drinking/drug-taking/partying feats of Mickey Dee? The answer is *no* because it didn't happen (or if it did, he always had control over it.) The drummer in a rock n' roll band must be the most professional, hardest working member of the band. He is the conductor of the band and with Mickey Dee as skipper, Motörhead ran a tight ship, often blowing away bands less than half their age as well as much bigger bands that they opened for. (I had no idea who Motörhead was when I first saw them... they were supporting Motley Crue in 2006 and my mate told me to make sure to come to the gig early and with respect to the Crue, Motörhead blew them out of the water. When Lemmy said "we are Motörhead and we are here to kick your arse", he was not lying. The only song they played that I knew of was "Ace of Spades" but I was going off my head to each and every song they played. The whole band was awesome. The loudest 3 piece band ever. And I had never seen a drummer like Mickey. Not before and not since.) There is no way that Lemmy would've been playing solid sets with Phil Campbell to arenas right up until he was "Killed by Death" without Mickey Dee holding it down. You could see a Motörhead concert in the 80s, 90s, 00s or the first half of the 2010s and you'd still get the authentic and complete Motörhead experience. I have seen many bands and very few have that longevity of consistently awesome live performances. ZZ Top and the Alice Cooper (solo) band are the only other ones I can think of. Not even Metallica, Slayer, Megadeth, AC/DC, Sabbath, Aerosmith, Kiss or The Stones had/have that. So if you were like me, and were fortunate to see them, even as late as 2006, 2008 and 2011 (all in Sydney, Australia in my case), you can thank Mickey Dee for that.

"Mikkey"

Mikkey steared those guys in the right direction 🙏🙏

learn to be quiet and not insert yourself as an interviewer. don't fill in when your interviewee is trying to formulate a thought. we're here for them, not you. good luck.

a boring drummer

Lemmy was formed in the acid driven crucible of the Free Festival UK and Hawkwind. He fell in with the amphetamine biker crowd... leathers, and all night partying. He was what we used to call a 'Speed freak'. Speed freaks are hard to get along with unless you are a speed freak.

Mikkey made the band even better.
