It was designed by Hugo Boss.

Lemmy is always at the zenith of taste and style, and that is why I love him.

Yeah, dressing as a Nazi. They love it when you do that here.

I just don't understand racism, I never thought it was an option.

What a high and mighty piece of sh*t.

Yeah. Uh... Siouxsie Sioux and a lot of the other early founders of punk music were doing this sort of thing in the 70s.

Lemmy's cool, but he's a few decades late for the shock value.

The SS uniforms are pretty damn sharp. Too bad they were filled with giant piles of shiat.

You know who else wore Nazi uniforms?

Lemmy was doing it in the 70s

Well, he has shocked someone enough to start a friggin' criminal investigation. The more things change the more they stay the same.

Good for Lemmy. Motorhead sucks, though.

I really dig the Lemmy song on Probot.

Hope one day the whole world will be able to look back on racism and laugh at how stupid people once were.

I think racism is stupid, too.
Maybe I am being all high and mighty, but I still think it's stupid.

/I came here for the Siouxsie Sioux pics in Nazi garb, but I leave disappointed.

The first German show of Jefferson Starship's 1978 European tour ended in a riot when mercurial singer Grace Slick couldn't play due, she insisted, to an upset stomach. The next night, Slick pepped herself up by drinking the entire contents of her hotel minibar before arriving at Hamburg's Congress Centrum. When not fondling guitarist Craig Chaquico, Slick mimicked a Nazi goose-step, asked the audience "Who won the war?" and gave the "Heil Hitler" salute. Stumbling into the crowd, she reportedly groped several female onlookers before jamming her finger up a man's nose. "I'm in Germany and I'm gonna get back at them for Dachau," she later explained. Recorded for German TV, the concert was never broadcast, and Slick left the band immediately afterwards.

You go, girl.

Lemmy was doing it then and he played with The Damned back in the day.

Fark Keith Richards... when the bombs finally go off, all that's going to be left is Lemmy and cockroaches.

That's probably what him and Jimmy Page were discussing backstage at that concert. Jimmy also wore SS-style clothes back in the '70s.

who freaking cares. i guess people gotta find something to point at and say "i disagree with that" to make themselves feel good. speaking out against racism makes you as much of a hero as saying "i think raping children is wrong!"

whatever.

i bet we wouldn't see anyone whining when someone wears a shirt with the "hammer and sickle" - but yeah, that's different.

anyway ... these guys did it before it was "cool" ...

Lemmy has quite the collection of WWII memorabilia. Has for several years. It's one thing to collect/display Nazi stuff. I don't think he has ever said "Hey, those guys were really cool. I totally subscribe to their ideology!".

 
blakean99 2008-07-11 12:07:00 PM  
Lemmy ain't that dumb. This is obviously intended to stir up a fuss.

 
singmetosleep 2008-07-11 04:10:00 PM  
He makes a good point, to be honest. Anyone interested in the Nazi aesthetic should check out Susan Sontag's "Fascinating Fascism," which I shall now link you all, to: http://www.history.ucsb.edu/faculty/marcuse/classes/33d/33dTexts/SontagFascinFas cism75.htm

This is not to say that they're not disgusting and truly evil. Still, it's a good essay and makes some interesting points.

I fully agree with him. The SS uniform is "F*****g brilliant" I don't agree with anything they stood for, but damn those guys knew how to dress.

I love Motorhead, but Lemmy's Nazi iconography fetish has always struck me as a bit... dodgy.
