Lemmy

What a man.:(


"Lemmy cut back from his more than two packs of cigarettes a day to one pack a week. And after at least four decades of a half-gallon of Jack Daniels every day, he switched to vodka and orange juice and just four or five drinks a day. He still enjoyed his daily speed."

Yeh..... what a man!! Not.
 
What is your problem? This is a thread about a very famous popular rock star who has sadly died, you didn't like his image or his music, thats fine, but a lot of people did. I find your comments extremely disrespectful and in very bad taste. Do us all a favour and leave the thread and keep your unwanted opinions to yourself.

I'll second that.
 
Lemmy - seemingly a great bloke if what you read is to be believed. Erudite, wise and generous by all accounts. Also advised by a consultant surgeon never to give blood as his "would be toxic to other humans!"

I would've loved to have a night out with him.


A Rock Legend without doubt. A real shame he has gone, not least because there aren't many like him around these days.

Well said. Unique in every way. I've seen a few rock documentaries featuring him over the years and a man never short of an opinion and never scared to call a spade a spade. Far from being a drinking, smoking hell raiser, he was a collector of WWII memorabilia and a bit of an authority on the subject
 
Sad to see another rock icon go. With the volume that they played at night in night out I'm surprised that he didn't suffer from hearing problems.

When Wurzel (sadly also now gone) joined Motorhead back in the 1980s he asked a friend of mine, who ran a PA hire business, if he could source a large number of empty Marshall speaker cabinets as they would look good behind him on the stage.
 
I rember hearing about another band, whose name now escapes me, setting up a wall of Marshall 4x12 cabinets, none of which were active.

The actual sound was produced by 100 watt combos hidden below the stage and miced up through the PA.
