Lemmy


If all Lemmy had left behind was Ace Of Spades, Silver Machine and a bad reputation that would still be enough evidence of a life well lived.

RIP Lemmy Kilmister, 1945-2015.

  1. Well said, SA. Couldn't believe it on hearing the news this morning, I thought he was immortal. Once waved to him across a quiet London street in the '80s and he greeted us back like old friends, all in all seemed a very nice chap - as well as a legend.

  2. Lemmy brought Punk to Heavy Metal, a feat for which he deserves a great deal of respect. Motorhead stripped down the showy, bombastic nature of Heavy Metal that just kept pushing Metal away from being relevant, making it music vital again.

  3. John Bradbury of The Specials has died too. Sad news.

  4. If there is a heaven, it just acquired a pretty hot rhythm section. Farewell and thank-you Lemmy and Brad.
