reception
Hamish MacBain of the New Musical Express ( NME ) gave Lemmy an 8 out of 10, noting that just hearing his voice on the lyrics to Rock It was worth watching the film. (“[H] earing him roar the words to 'Rock It' alone is reason enough to watch this movie”). The Hollywood Reporter's review found the film “entertaining enough to convey the subject's appeal to audiences beyond the metal crowd”.
Götz Kühnemund's DVD was presented in German Rock Hard as “DVD of the month” in February 2011 with the words “Highly interesting, well filmed and edited - and quite indispensable”.
