Motörhead guitarist Phil Campbell joined the Scorpions during the Rock Fest festival in Barcelona, Spain, to play the classic “Overkill” in tribute to Lemmy Kilmister. The current Scorpions lineup includes drummer Mikkey Dee, who has played on Motörhead since the early 1990s.

Lemmy died in 2015 at the age of 70. The musician had been presenting health problems, which led him to cancel several shows.
Mikkey spoke about the difference in playing drums in both bands:
“I played a lot of time with Motörhead, we were a trio, and that’s a tremendous difference. For example, when Phil was doing his solo, I would have to be a bit busier on the bass drum. Here [in Scorpions], I have to think otherwise – I have to make things easier and get into other things. But it’s a big challenge […] And it’s a great honor to take the Scorpions’ flag ”
I'm a Brazilian journalist who always loved Classic Rock and Heavy Metal music. That passion inspired me to create Rock and Roll Garage over 6 years ago.
Music has always been a part of my life, helping me through tough times and being a support to celebrate the good ones. When I became a journalist, I knew I wanted to write about my passions.
After graduating in journalism from the Pontifical Catholic University of Minas Gerais, I pursued a postgraduate degree in digital communication at the same institution. The studies and experience in the field helped me improve the website and always bring the best of classic rock to the world!
