Josh Homme Revelou Que Lemmy Kilmister Queria Fazer Parte Do Projecto Desert Sessions

Josh Homme, do Queens of the Stone Age, recentemente lançou os volumes 11 e 12 do projeto Desert Sessions, um colectivo de músicos formado por Billy Gibbons (ZZ Top), Jake Shears (Scissor Sisters) e mais.

Durante uma entrevista ao LA Times, o vocalista revelou que pretendia ter a presença de um artista ilustre: Lemmy Kilmister, lendário líder dos Motörhead. Segundo Homme, ele já tinha aceitado participar no projecto ao lado de Gibbons, mas infelizmente faleceu antes do projecto começar.

Lemmy faleceu em Dezembro de 2015 e as sessões do colectivo só começaram no ano seguinte, após o lançamento do disco “Post Pop Depression”, uma colaboração de Homme com Iggy Pop. “Eu realmente tenho que me esforçar quando sinto algo forte assim. Foi uma oportunidade de ser o cupido [entre músicos] e de assistir e capturar essa ligação romântica.”

Na altura da morte de Lemmy, Homme partilhou uma mensagem nas redes sociais dos Queens of the Stone Age a lamentar a morte do músico.

Actually, I'm pissed off Lem is dead. This sucks. One of the last REAL rock n roll motherfuckers has crossed over & I miss him. He was true to himself without question. He knew, there was no other pathway. A no bullshit, one of a kind, sharp tongued, hard livin', un-PC, stylish, hilarious & flat out genuine badass leader. He didn't give a fuck about yer peanut gallery, your anonymous opinion in the comment section or your fragile fucking sensibilities. Yet, he was always a caring & fascinating, kind & honest, gracious & a wise, intelligent & valuable friend. Never a bully, always a honorable rogue. You got a straight answer outta Lem, even if it was not what you wanted to hear. Because he was the genuine article. a maverick, an icon. The rest of these posers are trying to sell you water & champagne or are "building their brand"… Just Fucking snake oil salesmen. Toads. Greedy jive ass turkeys. Panderers. Hacks. Followers. Desperate for fame. Fuck fame. Fame is the toilet paper used on the ass of infamy. & infamy is dangerous & chaotic. Fuck safety. Fuck rules. Fuck insurance based suggestions. Lemme's "brand" was forged in the fires of individuality & would scar you for life. Lemmy IS rock n roll. Lemmy cared for his crew, his fans & that's it. He United punks & metalheads without being either, yet somehow embodied both. He had the respect from all scenes & sides. No one, I mean, no one else did. Or could've. You don't respect or dig Motorhead?? Then You musta ain't never heard em before or you jus don't know shit about jack. Fact. Lemmy, You will never be forgotten. I'm Proud to have had spent so many hours lost in conversation with you brotha. All My love & respect to you. See you in Valhalla. Jho
