According to MyCentralJersey.com, a 10-year-old boy from South Plainfield, New Jersey will be appearing in the world premiere of the new MOTORHEAD video "Rock Out", set to air at 10 p.m. Thursday, October 23, during "Headbanger's Ball" on MTV2.
"The kids in school didn't believe me when I told them," Luke Painton said. "I'm going to put it on my iPod and bring it to school."
One of the video's producers, Wes Orshoski, was pleased with Painton's performance.
"Luke was very nervous at first, but he killed it in the end," said Orshoski. "It was probably my favorite part of the video."
Luke and his 15-year-old brother Tanner, who both play guitar, went to a Masters of Metal concert in August with their parents, Jim and Dale.
"These guys were heroes of mine since I was Luke's age," Jim Painton said of MOTORHEAD. "I used to watch their videos in the early 1980s on UHF, the 'Heavy Metal Power Hour'. I'm probably as excited as Luke about this."

The legendary Rock & Roll band Motorhead was presented with a Golden Disc Award by their label STEAMHAMMER / SPV for sales of 25,000 units in Germany for the DVD Production "25 & Alive ­ Boneshaker", which was released in 2001. The presentation took place on July 4th in Berlin at the Zitadelle, where Motorhead played in front of 5,000 fans together with Rose Tattoo and Danko Jones.

The brand new album "Motorizer" will be released through Steamhammer / SPV in Europe on September 1st, USA / Canada on August 26th and in Germany on August 29th.

In addition to the Comic-Con exclusives, LemmyFigure.com is offering a few ultra-limited collectors' editions. Limited to only 100 pieces each are three unique Lemmy figures, Lemmy Gold, Jet Black Lemmy and Metal Lemmy. These "statuesque" Lemmy figures replicate the basic figure in form but have been uniquely treated so that they appear to be made of solid gold, silver and jet black.

Locoape's Lemmy Icon Figure is now available for immediate shipment at LemmyFigure.com. Lemmy figures and all of the latest MOTORHEAD information are also available at www. iMotorhead.com.

So why the solid coloured figures and accessories? Locoape Co-Director Mike Romano: "We received an email from a collector saying that we deserved an award for this figure. We didn't think that any awards were in order but thought, WOW 'The Lemmy!' So we had a very limited number of the figures manufactured in 'award-looking' fashion. The figures look like an icon award that should be given out at some annual award show. They're limited to only 100 units each and we're making them available to the fans and collectors."

According to Locoape President Steve Loney, "We weren't so sure about the 'award' concept but when the factory sent them over everyone in the office wanted one. We sent them to Lemmy's management and they thought the figures were great. Because of the unique nature of these figures we've kept them very limited."

Locoape executive Ron Maddoch: "Who would have thought MOTORHEAD and Lemmy could become even more iconic than they already are? From the icon figure to the guitar hero phenomenon, the Lemmy movie due in 2009, the new album 'Motorizer' — which comes out August 26th and a U.S. tour with JUDAS PRIEST. MOTORHEAD IS a machine."
