In 2008, Lemmy created a scandal by posing as a Nazi uniform to a German magazine, that which is banned in the country, told the Guardian (English) . “Since the beginning of time, the bad guys always had the best uniforms. Napoleon, the Confederates, the Nazis. They all had uniforms killers he told New York Waste . I mean, the uniform of the SS was great. They were the rock stars of the time. “
No question as to share political ideas of Adolf Hitler . “Do not tell me that I’m a Nazi , he launches the Guardian In 1967, I had my first little black friend and other packet from. I just do not understand racism, I never thought it was an option. “
