It should be noted that his favorite video game was a video slot machine at the Rainbow Room in LA. Anyone could go there at any time Motorhead was not on tour and say high to him as he played.

Motorhead recently recorded a cover of the Stones’ Sympathy For The Devil. Lemmy fucking nailed it.

“Lemmy looks like that guy down the street that’s always working on his car.” God I loved Beavis and Butthead.

That's a great story. Awesome of you to share.

Airheads summed it up nicely I think....

Took my then 12 yr son and to a motörhead concert up in Austin a few years back. Back then he was just really starting to get into music, trying to find what fit him. It was on a school night which to him I think was more exciting than actually see the band. We got and found our place close enough to the stage for a…

This is a WOW.

This is where that quote came from. A newspaper story from 1975, Lemmy talking about his new band after leaving Hawkwind ...

Shameless plug (because amazing) Alert.

Lemmy did some guest vocals for a good friend of mine’s band, The Warriors.

“I never was some Motörhead superfan, and I’m not going to pretend to have been one” ... but that was the beauty of this fucking ugly band! You didn’t have to be a hardcore fan; once you heard Lemmy, he kinda wormed his way into your DNA, never to leave. They were, to nick a cheesy line from a commercial for an…

Aww crap, I guess they really do die in threes. Scott Weiland, Phil Taylor, now Lemmy.

First saw Lem and the boys open for Alice Cooper in the late 80s, their first real US arena tour. Overkill took 10 minutes and they closed with a feed-back drenched Motorhead, which Lem off-handedly intro’d with, “In case.” Several more shows since then convinced me, he is the Metal God. This, possibly the most metal…

Holy fuck this is amazing.

Casual fan of the band, big fan of the man. Freshman year of high school, 1986, I had a copy of some metal mag from England. Metal Hammer maybe? Anyway, they had Lemmy review a bunch of English beers. As I think about it now, it would have been perfect for Gawker media—it was awesome. Nearly every beer “Tastes like…

There’s some consolation that Lemmy’s joining Phil Taylor in...well, wherever the fuck gods go when they die. And I’m sure Lemmy greeted Death with a shrug and a cigarette. Fucking rock legend, through and through. He’ll be missed.

To Lemmy!

Saw them twice. Wish I’d seen more.

Face nipples are dead sexy.

First Dio, then Lemmy. Metal’s running low on gods.
