We eat fire for Motörhead

Yesterday, I promised footage of me consuming Lemmy Kilmister’s “Krakatoa Surprise” in preparation for the band’s February gig at the Midland. The recipe — a combination of flour, refried beans, curry, chocolate syrup and brandy to be eaten while it’s on fire — sounds like a practical joke played on fans. It’s the kind of thing Lemmy would scribble on a cocktail napkin between whiskey-and-Cokes at 3 a.m., chuckling at the thought of hundreds of metalheads in burn wards.

But with a video contest under way to see who can actually pull it off without self-immolating, we professionals at The Pitch felt that we had no choice but to step up to Lemmy’s challenge. After the jump, see whether my beautiful, beautiful mouth survived the experiment.
