** Lemmy expressed regret over appearing in the film ''The Decline of Western Civilization II: The Metal Years'' because he felt that the movie made heavy metal fans and musicians look like idiots and claimed that Penelope Spheeris filmed him from a distance to make him look like such, as stated in his autobiography.

** Lemmy wasn't that fond of the three songs made for Wrestling/{{WWE}} wrestler Wrestling/TripleH -- "The Game", "Evolution", and "King of Kings" -- refusing to play any of the three in concerts. Lemmy would confirm [[https://youtu.be/PKy8I_MfuWE in an interview (which was released in 2019)]] to have liked "King of Kings" among the three songs they made for HHH.

** Motörhead's first label, United Artists, had no expectations for the band, so they shelved the real first album (''On Parole'') and only released it after the band started to make name for themselves at Bronze Records.
** After their stint at Bronze and GWR, Motörhead relocated to USA and signed to WTG (off-shoot of Epic Records). After releasing ''1916'', WTG gradually started to run themselves down intentionally and basically stopped promoting Motörhead and the band had to promote the next album (''March or Die'') themselves.
** After WTG shut itself down, the band went to the German ZYX Records because they gave the best offer. Unfortunately, ZYX didn't want to put much effort to promote the band (beceause they claimed it would cost too much) and the album ''Bastards'' went unnoticed by the consumers.

** Lemmy also wasn't that fond of Wrestling/TripleH's WWE themes, which he refused to play at concerts. Though he'd confirm [[https://youtu.be/PKy8I_MfuWE in an earlier interview which was only released in 2019]] to have liked "King of Kings" among the three songs they made for the big Dub.
