Frank Hovis Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A man who had the rock and roll life we all wanted as teenagers; and the author of the first record I bought: The Ace of Spades album (not single, I don't know anybody else whose first record was an album). Seventy's not a bad crack when he was on a bottle of whisky a day for forty years, and still gigging to the end. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equally non-emabarrassing. A mate at work will be devastated as Lemmy was his idol. He used to have a picture of him on his desk and played bass and sang in a punky band as that's what Lemmy did.

What a bloke to have as an uncle. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Motor_Blade Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The man was an absolute legend. I heard Ace of Spades for the first time aged 9 & decided there and then that Motorhead were the greatest band that I'd ever heard - nothing in the subsequent 35 years has made me change my mind. Lemmy lived life on his own terms and never compromised himself in any way. While we might not want to live our own lives on the same terms that he did, his life is a still an example to us. RIP Lemmy -, born to lose, lived to win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jfk Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 RIP sir. What a rock and roll legend. I couldn't hear for best part of a week after seeing motorhead live mid to late 90s. :-( Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest eight Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Certainly an easy going gent despite his looks. Rest well!. Actually the first LP I bought was "Selling England ByThe Pound". Can't remember the first LP I bought but suspect it was The Twelve Commandments of Dance by The London Boys er, Substance by New Order. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stormymonday_2011 Posted December 29, 2015 Author Share Posted December 29, 2015 Read 'em and weep, the dead man's hand again, Aces and Eights for Lemmy. Two members of Motorhead on the other side now. One more and they can form a celestial band. Have to say I am so old I can remember when Lemmy played for Hawkwind who fired him for 'doing the wrong sort of drugs'. Anyway here is the man himself in his pick up band the Upsetters including the late great Mick Green on guitar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
John51 Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 He was a roadie for The Nice. The Nazi daggers used by Keith Emerson were supplied by Lemmy. As early influences go, this must have had an effect on him. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chicker Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Saw hawkwind just after lemmy had been sacked, they weren't that good on the night . I got the ticket before the sacking ... wanted to see the man sing silver machine - obviously wasn't meant to be. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seventy's not a bad crack when he was on a bottle of whisky a day for forty years, and still gigging to the end. My first record was probably Pinky and Perky sing Old McDonald had a Farm, but my first album was No sleep `til Hammersmith, and TBH I had decided to buy any rock album that day to get me started on Heavy Metal which was having it`s second coming at the time, but that one caught my eye, and I probably still have it somewhere. Great album BTW, and I saw them in `82, the classic line-up. Got a jolt reading the thread title, really expected him to roll on a lot longer. RIP.

MattW Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 A last chance joker call for the 2015 celebrity sweepstake ? Coincidentally I nominated him for the 2016 Celeb death sweepstake. RIP Lemmy. Just been listening to some Motorhead - Orgasmatron is a great track. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DEATH Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I dare one of you to start a petition to have him posthumously knighted as Sir Lemmy of Motorhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
