The Tribute to Lemmy Thread

[Master_Yoda77]

So yeah, I mainly wanted to post a link to my new created blog. My first official blog post is a little write up I did for Lemmy. Go check it out below. Otherwise, post your favorite Motorhead jams, Lemmy interviews, or whatever the fuck you want to.

Motorhead rules and get bent.

i saw motorhead live at wacken '04 and it was terrible because they (by 'they' i'm assuming the festival organisers rather than the band, idk) fucked up the sound. the loudest band in the world became the quietest band in the world. i'd almost rather i hadn't seen them.

i've been listening to them a lot this past year or two though. they just had that special lived-in feel to their music that elevated even their more rudimentary songs. i have a basically similar attitude to you and i'd agree that lemmy is someone to idolise for anyone who wishes to live life on their own terms, even if his life isn't the one you specifically want to live. i can't imagine he had many regrets.

Too bad. Festival gigs usually aren't the greatest if you want the premium grade of a band's sound. I saw them in clubs and theatres a few times, it was balls-to-the-wall speed metal mania.

Saw them live in my hometown (of all fucking places, they must've well known it's far and away the most bogan city in New Zealand) in '07. Obviously they were fantastic, loudest thing I've ever heard and the gig that's solely responsible for the beginning of my tinnitus. Cheers, assholes.

Lemmy is ripping off Patrick Walker who is ripping off Ozzy.

Just waiting for Ozzman to post about how Manilla Road sucks and how shitty of a writer I am.

Made a pilgrimage to his grave this last summer, it's funny because Ronnie James Dio is interred roughly 20 yards away. Ronnie has a much larger grave, and a giant portrait of his family overhead and all that, you go to Lemmy's, it's just an unmarked compartment in a wall of stones. Left a mock iron cross necklace, pack of Marlboros, and bottle of Jack by it, had a moment of silence for him, and then walked off. Many say he was larger than life. Nothing could be further from the truth. He was the essence of independent life, fully realized. His death may as well have been his self-actualization.

Godspeed into the hereafter, you magnificent, free-riding, whiskey-swilling, hard-rocking, smooth-talking, no bullshit son of a bitch.

@no country for old wainds another thing to remember about Motörhead's gig at Wacken '04 is that Lemmy was blitzed out of his head, so his vocals and memory of the lyrics weren't the greatest. On Life's A Bitch he sang parts of the last couple of verses in the opening verse, his right hand was also sloppy on his bass.

I'm so sad I couldn't see them live. It'll be one of the things I'll ever regret deeply in life.

 

[Atomic Tide]

Lemmy was the baddest mutha-fucker ever! Rest in peace.
