Motörhead’s Mikkey Dee On Steve Jordan Joining The Rolling Stones

Motörhead have covered The Rolling Stones a number of times over the years. Their ‘Uncövered’ album featured ‘Sympathy for the Devil’ and ‘Jumping Jack Flash’ so Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee has an insightful thoughts on Steve Jordan’s newfound role replacing Charlie Watts.

“(Steve) is a fantastic drummer, such a good feel and he is perfect for The Rolling Stones,” Mikkey tells Noise11.com.

Steve Jordan, the drummer for Keith Richards’ solo band The X-Pensive Winos, has taken the place of Stones legend Charlie Watts for the Stones current No Filter North American tour.

If Mikkey was asked he would have also jumped at the chance. “I could have done it,” he said. “The way I have been playing my entire life if by trying to be very wide. I’ve played everything from big band jazz to fusion to pop to soul to heavy metal to speed metal to rock and roll to blues. I don’t care for being a specific type of drummer. My heart is in hard rock of course but I like to play good drums and play music on my drums. It would have been amazing to play with Rolling Stones for a tour”.

Mötörhead fans will be treated to the new compilation ‘Everything Louder Forever’ out 29 October.
