HERE ARE THE FUCKING TOWELS
The Lemster always like video games, I was playing a game of Asteroids in a club before a Motörhead show in 1983 and the sound of creaking leather distracted me - looked up and there was Lemmy, half his teeth rotting away and the other half were fake.
I couldn't understand a single word he said, but we played a game of doubles and I lost immediately 'cause..... ITS loving LEMMY. Phil Taylor came and got him when the show was about to start.

R.I.P, you crazed speedfreak maniac.

"I'm feeling very sad at the moment, in fact devastated because one of my best friends died yesterday. I miss him already. His name was Phil Taylor, or Philthy Animal, and he was our drummer twice in our career. Now he's died and it really pisses me off that they take somebody like him and leave George Bush alive. So muse on that. We're still going, we're still going strong, it's just first Wurzel and now Philthy, it's a shame man. I think this rock'n'roll business might be bad for the human life".

Nonsense
Jan 26, 2007

“Music has always been a big part of my life. I’ve been a DJ for years and have been a music collector for even longer. When I first saw the group of seven Koopalings, music was on my mind.

The hairstyle on one of them reminded me of Ludwig von Beethoven for some reason and Ludwig von Koopa was born. Next was the one with the glasses—that has to be Roy Koopa in homage to Roy Orbison, who almost always wore glasses. Then Wendy O. Koopa (Wendy O. Williams) [and] Iggy Koopa (Iggy Pop). One looked like a loudmouth, so he was Morton Koopa Jr. from [the] loud-mouthed talk show host Morton Downey Jr. And then there was Larry. There’s no real-world equivalent—he’s not Larry Mullen Jr. from U2 or Larry King—he just looked like a Larry.

That brings us to Lemmy. In addition to being a great name, it’s perfect for a video game character. This Koopaling struck me as being the kind of character who would do his own thing, no matter what anyone else thought. I think it was those crazy eyes. Lemmy Koopa was in the crew.”

Tim Schafer blocked me when I suggested that a stretchgoal for Psychonauts 2 would be that he resurrect the soul of Lemmy and make Brutal Legend 2 instead.

I actually feel bad about it because they were friends.

I went to a motorhead gig and it was so loud the only way you could tell apart songs was by the feeling the bass work vibrations.

I feel sorry for those suckers who wanted to listen to that poo poo. Motorhead newbies.

I can't imagine ever beating Lemmy at any video game and if I ever got close to his high score I'd gently caress up out of respect

He never was a nazi. He just liked collecting war poo poo. He dated a black chick for like 10yrs or something.

Yep his right.., look this quote

<< Much has been written about Lemmy's fascination with Nazi Germany and his collection of German war memorabilia. "The Germans had the best uniforms," he said. "The bad guys always have the best stuff — the Confederates, Napoleon." In interviews for Al Jourgensen's biography, the Ministry frontman talked about catching Lemmy in a particularly compromising position after a show in Austin in 1995. "I knocked [on Motörhead's] bus. No answer. So I open the fuckin' door and there's Lemmy in a complete full-in Gestapo uniform spanking a naked chick with a riding crop. She was loving it. So was he. I apologized and closed the door."

Reached a pretty decent age all things considered. How the gently caress are Iggy Pop and Keith Richards not dead yet.

He was pretty cool as a rock icon but Motorhead are one hell of a tedious band. Even by the standard of heavy metal the lack of variation between their albums and songs is pretty bad.

this is why i both like Motorhead and don't like Motorhead. it's great music when you're in the mood for pounding rock'n'roll, but there's no variance and it gets boring when you're not in the mood.

I'd rather have music that nails what it is trying to do than music that sounds ok when I'm in the mood for something else.

Yeah, Lemmy figured out what he wanted to sound like in the early 90s and stuck to it. You still got the odd Headcat type song or something but mostly you're gonna get hit hard and fast and maybe slow down for something that sounds like a remake of Orgasmatron.

But it's not like he tried to convince you anything different. Ask him what he'd sound like in a few years and he'd always tell you "About the same, but louder"

It's a bit of a depressing end for the guy. You'd think he would have had a more rock and roll death, like Adge Cutler had, who died after crashing into a tractor.

As far as cancer goes Brain Cancer is probably the most hardcore. If I absolutely had to have cancer, I'd rather it be my brain that decided to quit rather than my spleen or some poo poo.
