In a special edition of Riverside, Steve Blackwell joins the one and only Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of Motorhead - "a classic example of a heavy metal band" - for an orange juice and a chat about the New Wave of British Heavy Metal: "music your mother shouldn't like".

This report also features Brian Harrigan - the author of the Encyclopaedia Metallica - discussing the likely origin of such heavy metal staples as head-banging, air guitar and always wearing black.

The piece ends with an interview with all-female metal band Rock Goddess, aka sisters Jodie and Julie Turner and Tracey Lamb.

Originally broadcast 13 December, 1982.
