alibaba Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I remember reading this article a few months ago and thinking, ah, you're dead. Lemmy: ‘Apparently I am still indestructible’ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
quilp Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The story of Lemmy makes for suprising reading. It's a warts and all tale ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rmanx Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 To make it to 70 with his lifestyle is pretty impressive. Keith Richards is another "good" example. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

thesultanofsheight Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 To make it to 70 with his lifestyle is pretty impressive. Yes, pretty good going for someone who lived his life the way he did. A legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrighty Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 As everyone seems to agree - legendary. I like to think that on hearing his aggressive cancer diagnosis just 3 days ago he thought 'fuck it then' and went on a massive bender resulting in today's announcement.

thebees Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I hadn't paid him any notice until today, didn't like Motörhead. I was quite surprised by the news report on him, he was well rock 'n' roll. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shake me up Judy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I loved the 'Tender Ballads' album, and 'Lemmy Sings Labi Siffre'. Seriously though: He was the real deal and although I wasn't a fan you have to salute a real rock and roller. Anyone got any memories of when Motorhead brought their artillery barrage to the Lido ?

Declan Posted July 9, 2016 Share Posted July 9, 2016 Came across this anecdote about Motörhead's visit to the Island. "EC: Speaking of Motörhead, with the recent death of Lemmy Kilmister, do any memorable moments come to mind when you think about your time with Motörhead? Kevin Harrington: I had so many memorable times with Lemmy and Motörhead from the very first gig at the Isle of Man TT weekend. Let me tell you how that first gig went and the aftermath. The gig and night went great with no problems until I had to settle up the hotel bill in the morning. The hotel manager mentioned the fire in Mr. Kilmister's room and said he wanted the damaged paid. He explained it was a fire that burnt the bed sheets so naturally I asked to see the damage. He led me to the laundry room and picked up first a bed cover with a 1m hole with burnt edges, then he held a blanket with a smaller hole with burnt edges and finally a sheet was held up with a smaller hole in it. I signed for the damage. Walking back to reception the manager, in his morning suit, asked which one of the group wore a leather jacket jeans and white footwear. I told him they all do and asked why. He said one of his chamber maids had found one of the group in the house keeping room urinating in the sink. He said he didn't mind so much except it was his youngest employee." http://www.earcandymag.com/redheadonroof-0216.htm Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
