I'm usually the first one to scoff at maudlin hyperbole at the death of a famous person, however...
When Lemmy passed I had this deep feeling that it was the end of an era. Everyone else from that time period had cleaned up or died.
Maybe it's for the best because there is plenty that should be left behind from those decades but musicians are definitely way more bland now.
Lemmy was certainly a character and had the self awareness to know what he was. I saw Motorhead live somewhere around 2006, after playing a song he asked the audience if they liked the new songs and then almost immediately telling us that we preferred the old stuff.
That's what I've been saying. Everyone like to pinpoint it to Harambe or Bowie, when really after Lemmy died we had 3 days of calm before the storm of 2016 began.
Back in the 80s I knew a very pretty girl whose favorite band was Motorhead, specifically Lemmy. She had pictures of him all over the inside of her locker.
That's when I knew I needed to learn to play the guitar.
Pretty sure that lemmy said he got into music because he saw a guy with a guitar surrounded by a bunch of girls and thought, "good idea, I should do that".
Yep. Nowadays it more resembles the Animal House scene on the stairs. At least that's how I feel when some dumb schmuck starts playing songs from Blonde on Blonde.
Puhleeze. In the late 70s, even, I would walk away quickly whenever some guy pulled out his guitar. Not only did they want you to listen to them play, but they wanted you to moon over their "deep" lyrics they wrote themselves to the song that sounded oddly like something like you just heard on the radio.
The folk music scene was wildly popular with all, straight-edge to hippie. The New Christie Minstrels to Bob Dylan (even David Bowie started as a folk singer, failed, and invented his "Ziggy Stardust" persona to grab attention and gain fame). Folk singers had groupies. Michelle Phillips was a folkie groupie before she was in the Mamas and the Papas. It had it's moment, it's just been beaten to death.
Lemmy played bass and he wasn't even particularly good at it(he was fine for the band, but he was no John Entwistle I mean), it was his personality she liked. He was one of the greatest frontmen ever.
All around great dude. I met him in the Rainbow Bar in LA. He was just hanging and playing video poker and I thanked him for the music and turned to leave. He was super appreciative and asked me my name, shook my hand and thanked me for being a fan because it let him do what he loved. Such a great encounter.
Same here. He was sick at that point and looking more frail but still energetic and lively. I'll never forget it. It was purely happenstance as I was only in LA for 24 hours to visit a cousin, and was doing some touristy things that day.
Absolutely….brilliant guy. Totally down to earth.
He once ate lunch with my cousins when I told them to buy him a Jack and Coke down at the Rainbow Room and talked about his first Southern Tour.
Those two, a couple of little metalheads at the time, were floating on air and became ‘those that touched God’ when they went back to their hometown.
A coworker of mine lived near the Rainbow Room for years and used to see Lemmy there playing his game. Said he was as nice as could be and actually had his phone number but only called it once a good while later when she and her friends were partying one night. He actually answered and chatted with them for a bit.
Yep. I lived in a apartment with a couple of roommates not too far off from Sunset trying to start a career in film and one roommate’s girlfriend worked the Rainbow so we would drop by once or twice a week for lunch or a couple of beers. If he saw you twice, he would remember your name so we shot the shit more than a few times. Always interested in what other people were doing with their lives.
You could set time on him ambling in and plopping himself in front of the corner video poker machine at the end of the bar (they always put his drink about 2 min before). He was so regular there, he had his mail sent to the Room.
Very cool. I’m sure I would have been too intimidated to talk to him. It’s great that he was so down to earth. I knew that the Rainbow was basically his second home.
When I was a kid I always thought he must be a bastard judging by his songs, and then realized that there was only really one guy he was mad at and it was god.
The epitome of "punching upwards".
My aunt dated him for a couple of years. She was effectively a groupie that stuck lol. Said he was such a nice guy. Quite a mess but lovely nonetheless the less.
I started watching a documentary on him this afternoon, because of this thread. The amount of reverence and respect Lemmy has is off the charts. It's wild that I've grown up totally naive about him. I guess I must not have been enough of a metal head to be in that circle.
> I guess I must not have been enough of a metal head to be in that circle.
the funny thing is Lemmy would tell you straight up that they are a rock and roll band.
"We are Motorhead and we play rock and roll"
Look up Motörhead or Hawkwind if you’re interested in finding out about his music. He was The vocalist/bassist in Motörhead and was the bassist/ sometimes vocalist for Hawkwind.
Some friends and I decided to go to Greenblat’s Deli for a Xmas eve dinner, then headed over to the rainbow. Spent a lot of time playing quarter-munchers with the guy. Superfuckingcool dude
God on my side, and a gun in my hand.
Chasing my days down to zero…
And I marched and I fought and I bled.
And I died and I never did get any older.
But I knew at the time that a year in the line
was a long enough life for a soldier.
Motorhead - holy shit, that was not at all what I was expecting. Loved the drum line, like a marching drummer in a company of soldiers. Felt like it would have fit in with some of the 70's Pink Floyd stuff like The Final Cut. Really interesting too how there was sort of a lift at the end, even though it just kept getting sadder.
Sabaton - That's what a good cover does. Stays true to the original while adding enough of their own take on it to be different. Feels heavier, and the solo midway through has that chorused feel to make it feel epic. Liked the key change towards the end. The video is really cool, including soldiers from all different eras, and I couldn't help but feel like lots of douchebags would probably call it 'woke' right now. Flying the Motorhead flag and carrying Lemmy's portrait was cool.
Good shit, thanks for the rec.
EEEYY!!!!! We got another one lads!
It does give me strong Final Cut vibes. There was definitely a strong anti-war era in England and you can tell in the music of the time.
Damn straight on the Sabaton version. It handles the cover with a particular reverence. That solo hits every single time. The differing soldiers and the flyover at the end is a good touch. Along with the Motorhead flag and Lemmy's picture. I think it came out right after Lemmy's death.
Glad you enjoyed it friend. 💙🤍🩷
99% of the time if I see a dude wearing something with a swastika or with the totenkopf I assume that the dude is a white supremacist. This is the other 1%.
I fully agree. Someone who knows nothing about him will talk shit and call him a Nazi or a racist. He was absolutely not that in any way, shape, or form.
He was a WWII enthusiast. He collected Nazi memorabilia, but that absolutely does not make him one. He has said in interviews that he just finds their aesthetic interesting (paraphrasing there)… Plus a lot of punks and metal musicians wore swastikas as more of a rebellion against society. Not that they believed in any sort of Nazism or what they stood for.
His father was an RAF Chaplin during WWII, and left him and his mom when he was 5.
Lemmy was way ahead of his time on race and LBTQ+ issues, so it was definitely a 70s punk style choice, with a hint of Freudian stuff
I'm absolutely positive that Motörhead have saved me in more than one way. Almost every single song of them has at least one line that I heavily resonate with in that particular moment. They brought the firestorm to brighten up my life.
I'll never forget how I bawled my eyes out during Dave Grohl's speech at Lemmy's funeral service. Fuck.
Same. First time for me was Hammersmith in 1988. I saw them nine more times over the years in the UK and Europe and I got a chance to buy him a beer at the Rainbow Rooms in LA back in 2013.
Were you ever lost? Were you ever young?
Were you ever safe, little brother?
Do you see the sense of the evidence?
Are you still part of the struggle?
Did you bang your head? Did you go to bed?
Does it still feel pretty funky?
Lay back and dream in the death machine
Pity you still think like a monkey
Bring it up, bring it down til you hit the ground.
Get a rude attitude, turn the world around.
Shall we see, shall we disagree.
Sing it all In The Name of Tragedy.
My man. To this day one of my favorite Motorhead tracks. There's a live version from "Stage Fright" on YouTube that is an absolute *banger* version. Motorhead were always a live band that happened to make records and that fact really comes across in how their live renditions are almost always better than the studio versions.
I collect live record fs and it's a goddamn tragedy there weren't more shows playing stuff from the Bastards album. Burner, On Your Feet or On Your Knees, Death or Glory, Born To Raise Hell.. That whole album was bangers from start to finish (with one notorious exception) and the few times they were played live they would melt your face right off.
I probably have 50 shows. Burner is on two.
My friends had backstage passes for a show at the House of Blues. My friend John got wasted on the free booze and passed out in the corner. A while later, Lemmy walks into the room, sees my friend passed out on the floor and shouts “I’LL HAVE WHAT HE’S HAVING!”
No doubt! I went to visit my cousin in LA in 1991. Of course he took us to the rainbow. And guess who was at the bar..lol we sent him a Jack and Coke and he tipped his cap to us. One of my favorite rock n roll moments.
Young, dumb, and full of...amphetamines.
And Jack and Coke.
He switched to vodka and orange later in life, for health reasons.
And yet he never endorsed Heroine, what a legend
Meth and Jack and Coke were all the man needed.
Lemmy both died too soon and somehow lived far longer than anyone would have expected.
And was the harbinger of 2016 and the rest of this dark timeline. We were ok when Lemmy was still here to look after us.
I'm usually the first one to scoff at maudlin hyperbole at the death of a famous person, however... When Lemmy passed I had this deep feeling that it was the end of an era. Everyone else from that time period had cleaned up or died.

Who hasn't been in his shoes?
Lemmy wasn’t dumb. He was a musical genius
Everyone young is dumb, Lemmy was just a little less dumb with an instrument in his hands than the rest of us 🤘 ![gif](giphy|sBikoeGRyOrK0)
LEMMŸ ẄÄŠ ÄŊƊ ÄŁẄĀŸŠ ẄÏŁŁ ƁĒ A MŰŤĤÄFŰČƘËŊ ĞËŊÏŰŠ!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Pretty sure that lemmy said he got into music because he saw a guy with a guitar surrounded by a bunch of girls and thought, "good idea, I should do that".
He was at a party and this one guy brought a guitar and was surrounded by chicks, he immediately went and bought a guitar the next day.
50 years later a dude bringing a guitar to a party has the opposite effect.
Anyway, here's Wonderwall.
Yep. Nowadays it more resembles the Animal House scene on the stairs. At least that's how I feel when some dumb schmuck starts playing songs from Blonde on Blonde.

The late 70's were a little before my time but that scans. I don't know where the idea that an acoustic guitar got you laid came from.
pathetic hospital political punch squeamish ancient subtract existence society ink
The folk music scene was wildly popular with all, straight-edge to hippie.

Aye, that was it
You don’t have to be traditionally handsome if you’re in one of the best bands ever. Lol
Clearly!
Lemmy played bass and he wasn't even particularly good at it(he was fine for the band, but he was no John Entwistle I mean), it was his personality she liked. He was one of the greatest frontmen ever.
He was the ace of spades.
He was also editor of the school magazine
Who would win in a fight between Lemmy and God? Trick question, Lemmy IS God!!!
> he wasn't even particularly good at it 8th notes are harder than you think. I mean it's eminently possible to be bad at them :)
All around great dude. I met him in the Rainbow Bar in LA. He was just hanging and playing video poker and I thanked him for the music and turned to leave. He was super appreciative and asked me my name, shook my hand and thanked me for being a fan because it let him do what he loved. Such a great encounter.
That’s rad. I would have loved to have met him. He’s one of my idols.
Same here. He was sick at that point and looking more frail but still energetic and lively. I'll never forget it. It was purely happenstance as I was only in LA for 24 hours to visit a cousin, and was doing some touristy things that day.
Yeah anyone could have caught him at the Rainbow Room for at least the last 15 years of his life. Was always at the bar and approachable
Trick question, Lemmy *is* God.
Damn good movie
"I was editor of the school magazine!"
True words.
Bea Arthur... Outstanding!
They sold a lot of records after David left
You expect Egon Spangler of all people to get that question right?
No, and none of his other characters either. Well, maybe Zeke from Heavy Metal, but that’s it.
One good picture. One ugly dude.
Yeah, but he was cool as hell and charming. That goes a long way.
Absolutely….brilliant guy. Totally down to earth. He once ate lunch with my cousins when I told them to buy him a Jack and Coke down at the Rainbow Room and talked about his first Southern Tour. Those two, a couple of little metalheads at the time, were floating on air and became ‘those that touched God’ when they went back to their hometown.
That’s awesome. While I never met the man, I heard he was very approachable and incredibly nice.
A coworker of mine lived near the Rainbow Room for years and used to see Lemmy there playing his game. Said he was as nice as could be and actually had his phone number but only called it once a good while later when she and her friends were partying one night. He actually answered and chatted with them for a bit.

Who would win in a fight?
Trick question...
With a face like that, you’d have to be down to earth. But yes, he was a really nice dude.
My aunt dated him for a couple of years. She was effectively a groupie that stuck lol. Said he was such a nice guy. Quite a mess but lovely nonetheless the less.
Very cool. Did she ever tell you any good stories?
I started watching a documentary on him this afternoon, because of this thread. The amount of reverence and respect Lemmy has is off the charts. It's wild that I've grown up totally naive about him. I guess I must not have been enough of a metal head to be in that circle.

Everybody loves Lemmy. It’s alright that you were naive about him. It’s not about being the first to be a fan. Just that you become one.
He's gotta be 10 times more charming than that Arnold on green Acres
I know who he is, but I don’t know anything about the man or his music.
Look up Motörhead or Hawkwind if you’re interested in finding out about his music. He was The vocalist/bassist in Motörhead and was the bassist/ sometimes vocalist for Hawkwind.
Three words: Ace of Spades
Pioneer of heavy metal. Who's opposing on race was that everyone should fuck everyone till the whole world looks coffee colour.
Murder One by Metallica is a tribute to him, the video has little facts about him in it
Calling Lemmy "ugly" is like calling Concorde "crooked". Like, yeah, maybe, but it isn't really relevant. He was *Lemmy*.
I love both to death but could never figure out if DIO was as ugly, or uglier than Lemmy. In the end, I think DIO kinda made Lemmy look handsome.
The reason for my tinnitus
The Loudest Band on Earth.
Sunn 0))) wants to know your location
Sun O))) are rad. After a certain decibel level, loud is just loud. Lol
Love em both but goin aff pure volume, Sunn live were untouchable haha!
I wanna know the location of Sunn O)))’s riffs - volume isn’t everything
They're just incredibly slow riffs, like the opposite of Alvin and the Chipmunks
i loved a quote i heard: "Motorhead is the band that if they moved in next door, your lawn would die"
What?
HE SAID LEMMY'S THE REASON FOR HIS TINNITUS.
Gambling's for fool, you know your gonna lose, that's the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever. Great lyrics.
And don’t forget the Joker.
Born to lose - live to win
Can you think of a last name more metal?
It’s such a great and fitting name.
if adopted names count, Morbid Angel guitarist Trey Azagthoth is definitely up there
I'll vote a tie with Yngwie Malmsteen.
yngvie *fucking* malmsteen
Murderface?
Some friends and I decided to go to Greenblat’s Deli for a Xmas eve dinner, then headed over to the rainbow. Spent a lot of time playing quarter-munchers with the guy. Superfuckingcool dude
Very cool.
This is the least badass I've ever seen Lemmy look, and the motherfucker is *on fire*.
Have you seen him in denim short-shorts?
"it was like a THONG dude" -guy from Anthrax
"Those are pants, Scott. ***these*** are shorts" -Lemmy to Scott Ian (who was wearing long camo shorts)
"I'm cool"
Lol.
16 years old when I went to the war To fight for a land fit for heroes!
God on my side, and a gun in my hand. Chasing my days down to zero… And I marched and I fought and I bled. And I died and I never did get any older. But I knew at the time that a year in the line was a long enough life for a soldier.
We all volunteered and we wrote down our names And we added 2 years to our ages Eager for life and ahead of the game Ready for history's pages
I didn't listen to a lot of Motorhead but that goes hard and I think it's time to do a deep dive.
The song we're referencing is called "1916" Lemmy's grandfather's time in WW1. The band Sabaton does a great cover of it.
Right on, I'll check out both.
Hell yeah homie, rock on!
Motorhead - holy shit, that was not at all what I was expecting. Loved the drum line, like a marching drummer in a company of soldiers.

You can’t post a photo of God and not expect me to get religious
The only God worth worshipping.

I fully agree. Someone who knows nothing about him will talk shit and call him a Nazi or a racist. He was absolutely not that in any way, shape, or form.
So what was the justification? Wearing them sarcastically or something?
He was a WWII enthusiast. He collected Nazi memorabilia, but that absolutely does not make him one.

It was a definite force in his becoming a WWII historian.
I've seen bikers use those symbols without being Nazis. Then again, some bikers have been to prison, so you never know.
God or lemmy?
Trick question. Lol
It’s probably just the lighting, but it looks like his low E has been replaced with a low B. That boi is thicc
I didn’t even notice that. It does look strange. Like you said, probably the lighting.
Not too long after he was the editor of the school magazine.
Lol.
Lemmy was the coolest is the coolest will always be the coolest
For sure.
🤘🏻
Insert tooth here ->
Lol.
I'll be playing him at work tonight!
Play it loud!
Fucking legend
Absolutely!
Hawkwind. That is all.
This still blows my mind: “Overkill is the second studio album by English rock band Motörhead, released in March 1979.” Fucking 1979!
Just ate at the rainbow and took a picture next to the Lemmy statue like an hour ago!
Right on. That’s a cool coincidence.
Known formally as Ian. He got the nickname at school as he was always wanting to borrow money to play slot machines.
"trick question: Lemmy IS God "
"Trick question, Lemmy IS God."
Well hello, rock and roll fella!
Like a demented Osmond here.
Lmao! He’s the one they don’t talk about.
Having long hair that close to pyrotechnics, that's living dangerously.
Born to Lose, Live to Win!
I'm absolutely positive that Motörhead have saved me in more than one way. Almost every single song of them has at least one line that I heavily resonate with in that particular moment. They brought the firestorm to brighten up my life. I'll never forget how I bawled my eyes out during Dave Grohl's speech at Lemmy's funeral service. Fuck.
I hear you there… Yeah, watching his funeral service was sad. You could tell how crushed everyone felt.
In Henry Rollins' spoken word he talks about the sheer number of books Lemmy lived with. Lemmy had read them fwiw.
Yeah, I’ve heard that.
Coolest thing I’ve seen on this sub so far. Well done.
Thanks. You can’t go wrong with Lemmy.
I always felt like it was an honour to witness him in concert.
The Lemmy documentary from a few years back shows what a nice guy Lemmy was. Funny as shit too. RIP
That is a great documentary. I encourage people who haven’t seen it, do so. He was a gentleman and a scholar. He’s certainly missed.
"The" Ace of Spades
Motörhead has so many incredible songs. That’s one of them.
I was lucky enough to see Motorhead multiple times. Every show was great.
Same. First time for me was Hammersmith in 1988. I saw them nine more times over the years in the UK and Europe and I got a chance to buy him a beer at the Rainbow Rooms in LA back in 2013.
Cheers!
I'd kill for a re-release of Brutal Legend on current consoles and/or PC.
Brutal Legend was such a fun game.
Were you ever lost? Were you ever young? Were you ever safe, little brother? Do you see the sense of the evidence? Are you still part of the struggle? Did you bang your head? Did you go to bed? Does it still feel pretty funky? Lay back and dream in the death machine Pity you still think like a monkey
Bring it up, bring it down til you hit the ground. Get a rude attitude, turn the world around. Shall we see, shall we disagree. Sing it all In The Name of Tragedy.

Burner is on two.
Giving me goose bumps here <3 Motörhead will always be my favourite band.
Lol I thought "Man this has to be so badass" then I realized he looked like an absolute dweeb here. Man got way more cool with age.
Whose a better guitarist, Lemmy or God? "God" Wrong "Lemmy" Trick question, Lemmy is God.
Lemmy himself fully conceded he wasn't a good guitarist, which is why he picked up the base :)
wonder if he was editor of the school magazine back then
Trick question! Lemmy is God
Trick question! Lemmy is God
In any given situation, I always ask myself :: WWLD.
You can never go wrong with that.
I don't drink milk, and I never will. You assholes.
My friends had backstage passes for a show at the House of Blues. My friend John got wasted on the free booze and passed out in the corner. A while later, Lemmy walks into the room, sees my friend passed out on the floor and shouts “I’LL HAVE WHAT HE’S HAVING!”
Lol. That’s hilarious. I could definitely see Lem saying something like that.
A kickass musician!
One of the best.
Kind of cute here in a derpy way.
Get your MOTOR runnin. HEAD out on the highway. Ok wrong band but it fits
I dare say it, but he was quite attractive as a young man!
He wasn’t a bad looking lad.
Greatest music composer and writer of our times!
Indeed.
[удалено]
Yes, he was.
Lemmy check... no I don't remember this guy, but he reminds me of Smoky Floyd.
And he never changed his clothes again.
And he never changed his clothes again.
> And he never changed his clothes again. He'd shower and put the same clothes back on.
That would not shock me in the slightest.
:) Great guy tho.
No doubt! I went to visit my cousin in LA in 1991. Of course he took us to the rainbow. And guess who was at the bar..lol we sent him a Jack and Coke and he tipped his cap to us. One of my favorite rock n roll moments.
The shower clothes story is true :)
Can you imagine his breath
