      Raising a child is akin to knowing you're getting fired in 18 years and having to train your replacement without actively sabotaging them.

      Great name.

      He retired early when an accident forced him to wear a Citruss.

        I met Lemmy briefly at a heavy metal disco I used to frequent. I will best remember him for singing the lead vocals on Hawkwind's, Silver Machine, a song about a silver bicycle that could fly, sideways through time.

    I met Lemmy on Motorhead's first Australian tour back in 1984. He joined me and a couple of mates while we having a joint before the show started. Despite his image he was actually a very quiet spoken, very intelligent man.

    Let's not forget that he is the only songwriter to use the words parallelogram and undulate in a rock and roll song.

    We're moving like a parallelogram     - from the song Motorhead

    I'm your boy
    I'll make you undulate with joy     - from I'm The Doctor

    RIP Lemmy, one of the few that deserve the tag "legend".

    Why do garden gnomes smell so bad?
    So that blind people can hate them as well.

    Here's what must have been his final interview recorded sometime in November. It turns out that Motorhead were scheduled to play at the Bataclan Theatre in Paris the night after the terrorist attacks. He talks about that in the interview..

    I realise he was practically 70 years old at the time, however he doesn't look particularly healthy here.

      I doubt that anyone ever referred to him as Lemmy 'Clean Living' Kilmister.

      Cheers. - Frank

    Pls don't hate me, I knew him because of Triple H's intro when I was a kid.
    The Kings of Rock and Rolls are starting to fade away.
    He will always one of the icons for the rock music industry.
    No modern rock artists/bands can replace them
