Mikkey Dee - Motorhead, The Scorpions, Lex Legion, Dokken, King Diamond

Joining me today is the legendary Mikkey Dee.

Mikkey Dee is a legendary Swedish heavy metal drummer best known for his long tenure with Motörhead and his current role in the Scorpions. Renowned for his extreme speed, precision, and hard-hitting style, he is widely considered one of the most influential drummers in rock and metal history.

 Lex Legion: In 2026, Mikkey Dee reunited with the classic 1988 King Diamond line-up, alongside vocalist Nils K. Rue, to form a new side-project called Lex Legion. They released their debut single "Sleep Eternally" 

in May 2026 He tracked drums as part of a temporary metal supergroup—alongside Phil Anselmo, Kirk Hammett, and Billy Sheehan—for a reworked version of "Fast As A Shark" on Accept's 50th-anniversary album.

 Motörhead (1992–2015): Dee joined the iconic British band in 1992, replacing Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor. He remained a core member alongside Lemmy Kilmister and Phil Campbell for over two decades, recording 12 studio albums including Bastards, Inferno, and their final record, Bad Magic. The band officially dissolved following Lemmy's death in late 2015. 

Scorpions (2016–Present): In September 2016, Dee was announced as the permanent replacement for James Kottak in the Scorpions. He featured on their 2022 studio release, Rock Believer
