Motorhead frontman Lemmy has insisted that rock 'n' roll will never die.
The singer - who is currently on tour with the band in New Zealand - dismissed claims that the genre is losing its appeal.
He told Stuff website: "People sometimes suggest rock 'n' roll is dead, but it will never die because it's always exciting to hear a decent rock 'n' roll song.
"Look at AC/DC, man. They're still as f**king excellent as they were when they started out, all them years ago. ZZ Top are another one. They just keep finding great riffs."
The 62-year-old added: "There's something about a great guitar riff that moves both your body and your soul. It speaks to something basic, you know. It gets in you. That's never going to change."
