RIP Lemmy

MajorRage

Oh wow. Thats the end of a rock icon if ever there was one. Surprised he made it to 70. Reading about this, turns out it was an extremely aggressive cancer, and he was only diagnosed on boxing day.
 
Listening to this interview now. He sounds like he's 170.

No. First Phil Taylor and now Lemmy.
 
A Jack and Coke in your honour my friend.

That's a damn shame , Dave Grohl said in an interview he's one of the most awesome people he ever met.

Tool's cover of No Quarter is pretty epic... :) 
Ã†nima is my favourite album of all time. Love every song and still listen to it coming up 20 years (shit!) after it was released.</blockquote>
 
Thanks for that, I'm not a tool fan but their version of No Quarter is great.

The Atlantic has a link to the MotÃ¶rhead Facebook page and there's some awesome stories being posted there. My favourite so far is the guy who went out to drink legally for the first time and ended up in the same bar as Lemmy. He told Lemmy it was his birthday do Lemmy ended up shouting him his first drink in a bar .

Fuck. I thought Lemmy was gonna live for ever. Saw the classic Kilminster, Taylor, Clark line-up a few times. Could never hear properly afterwards. I guess we all get Killed by Death in the end! 
It will be a sad, sad day when the last of the indestructibles - Keef and Ozzy join him. It's an old cliche but they don't seem to make them like that any more.

Very sad news. I saw Motorhead many times since early 1980s and have the hearing loss to prove it. Pic below I took in the mid-1990s at a show where I'd briefly met him earlier that afternoon. I was in awe and mostly speechless, because what can you say to a living god?
 
RIP Lemmy.

Very nice tribute on WWE Raw last night, too.

True. But then gargling razor blades daily takes it's toll on the larynx. So does growling ferociously into a microphone at that ridiculous godforsaken angle Lemmy "sang." Don't forget the Joker.

Somewhere, a teenager in a MotÃ¶rhead t shirt is asking someone "who is Lemmy?"

red terror

Should have mentioned, walking up Queen Street in Auckland in 1985, saw a scraggly lookin' dude with a MotÃ¶rhead tattoo across his neck/throat.
 
It was at the same time the coolest and stoopidest tattoo I'd ever seen.
 
(Presuming he's still alive, maybe some of you fellas have also sighted him?)

<blockquote class="ipsBlockquote">
Jack Danielâ€™s, one of the worldâ€™s largest whiskey distilleries, has filed for bankruptcy in the wake of the death of Motorhead front man Lemmy Kilmister.
 
Lemmy was well known to enjoy Jack Danielâ€™s bourbon and was responsible for over 85% of JDâ€™s market share. News of his death has caused the share price to plummet.
 
Jack Danielâ€™s CEO, Jack Daniel, had this to say:
 
â€˜When we heard the tremendously sad news of Lemmyâ€™s passing, we immediately contacted our legal team to proceed with filing for Chapter 9 bankruptcy. We didnâ€™t think we could go on after George Best passed away but we know that without Lemmy, the business is, as Lemmy would say â€˜Pretty fucking fuckedâ€™â€™.

Online retailers right now are probably doing a roaring trade in motorhead t-shirts. I was actually thinking about buying one. It's like Germans and Ramones t-shirts, if your into rock music,it feels compulsory to have one as part of your wardrobe.

Cookie

Ha. Ramones Ts have become a kind of fashion classic that have nothing to do with the band. Also weird to hear their tracks used for many TV ads nowadays. Saw them around the same time as MotÃ¶rhead - thought they were awesome live. 
I would never wear a football/rugby/tour shirt nowadays- but then I'm 49 and I'd look a total bellend in one

Funny you should say that. I thought the same thing, then I went to see AC/DC in Stockholm this year. The average age at the gig was probably mid 40's, and just about every single one of them was wearing an ac/dc t-shirt. At the time, I didn't think they looked like bellends at all. Crowd mentality, perhaps?
 
Mind you, Scandinavian acca fans probably have little in common with NZ acca fans. All the guys we chatted to were friendly, nice folks who were genuine fans of the band and music. 
 
Age is irrelevant, if you wanna wear it, wear it! Unless it's a Bieber or One Direction shirt. Then your bellend statement is relevant.

James Hetfield recently claimed his highlight of 2015 was seeing Bieber wearing a Metallica t-shirt.
 
Beavis & Butt-head knew all about iconic classic black t-shirts. They're timeless.
 
As is this one:

From the mid-1990s thru the 21st century, you couldn't drive through an Indian reservation in North America without spotting several on everybody from little girls to old geezers; it was almost like loyalty to the Texas Rattlesnake was the Red Man's rebellious middle-finger to Whitey (me). It was a uniform I tells ya.

So G'N'R are reuniting. Well, Axl and Slash, anyway. Any comment from Andy Secher at Hit Parader, Circus Magazine, Mick Wall at Kerrang, or Bob Guccione Jr at Spin? ;)

GuccionÃ© is still pissed off over his Dad.
 
If this is true, I'm off to the states.

Lets see them at Coachella, and leer at the college girls.
