Writing about the primal scream of heavy metal in provincial Mecklenburg in the 1980s, the influences of “Ace of Spades” on an eventful life as an actor, and about a long-awaited interview with Lemmy Kilmister in Wacken that almost happened, the great actor Charly Hübner reveals his talent as a writer. Rarely has anyone written so passionately about music, rarely so impressively about the effect it can have on a young person – an effect that lingers and keeps unfolding. This book is a treasure chest of memories and anecdotes from a life that the frontman of the loudest band in the world might have been describing when he wrote his famous words of wisdom “I’m in love with rock’n’roll, it satisfies my soul.” Whether as a pimply teenager at the village disco, when “The Hammer” is played for the first time, or at the party after the first movie premiere – Motörhead is always there as a soundtrack. An era of rock may have come to an end with Lemmy’s death, but we can still listen to his music – and now also read this book!
