Motörhead’s Mikkey Dee is sharing what he thinks his late bandmate Lemmy would think of today’s “political correctness” and cancel culture.

In a new interview, the former Motörhead drummer was asked how the rock ‘n’ roll band’s shenanigans would be perceived in today’s more mindful political climate.

Dee explained, “Today it’s almost impossible to think because the world has changed so much with acceptance of everything. One thing I’m glad Lemmy [doesn’t] have to experience is this f**king political correctness that I can’t stand.”

Dee was then asked whether he believes Motorhead would have been canceled if they were around today.

He responded, “We would be so off the scale. I mean, to play a joke on someone and then to take a joke from someone, that is life; that’s the way it should be. But today you can’t say anything, really, before people freak out over absolutely nothing. And no sense of humor at all. So, I’m glad Lemmy doesn’t have to experience this because he would be going f**king crazy.
