Valio, a Finnish dairy company,
launched a tribute ad to
Ian "Lemmy" Klimster, lead singer for Motorhead. Lemmy shot a milk commercial for the company just one month before his death. Rather than air the ad,
hasan&partners flipped the script and used an outtake from Lemmy's shoot to recreate the ad as a tribute. The 40-second video is a remake of an iconic
20-year-old commercial that featured a rough-looking character who exits a seedy bar and states "I have never drunk milk, and never will." Without spoiling
anything, let's just say that
Lemmy's version is a bit more colorful. The ad was filmed in Maunula, Finland, close to Hartwall Arena, where
Motorhead performed shortly after the shoot.
