 If you like to gamble, I tell you I'm your man, You win some, lose some, all the same to me  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yI9gTHdCZ9U Let us remember Lemmy. He beat the devil enough times. He only died to show us what's worth living for. Rock out tonight for Lemmy. http://www.theguardian.com/music/2015/dec/29/lemmy-obituary-alexis-petridis-motorhead https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=s9fZRcqZWoE quote:Like his previous employers Hawkwind, Motörhead were a product of the crumbling squat scene around London’s Ladbroke Grove, but their music spoke of a different era. Hawkwind’s music was heavy, but they still had a distinct whiff of acid-fuelled late 60s idealism about them. After his departure from the band, Lemmy clearly realised that times had changed, that what remained of the flower power dream had irrevocably curdled, that it was time to dispense with the LSD-inspired imagery, the penchant for cosmic-journey improvisation and the last vestiges of countercultural utopianism: his new band initially intended to ply their trade under the name Bastard. You can hear him casting about for a musical direction on their debut album On Parole – recorded in 1975 but not released until their former record label attempted to cash in on their early 80s fame – trying out a variety of back-to-basics styles, including tough pub rock and stuff that, if you didn’t know it was Motörhead, you might take for a lost 1977 punk band. The sound that stuck was a track on their eponymous theme song, previously a Hawkwind B-side. Hard, fast and brutally effective, it was shot through with both a dry wit – the experience of taking amphetamine is “going up like prices at Christmas” – and grim realism, enthusiastically advocating drugs not as a tool to expand your mind, but as “mental anaesthesia”. Initially greeted with such diffidence and bafflement that Motörhead considered splitting up, it proved both timely and prescient, as powerful a reflection of mid-70s Britain as Anarchy in the UK or White Riot.

Anyone needs a crash course in this badass motherfucker should pick up the Stone Deaf Forever! box set, pretty much a best of 1975-2002 plus b-sides. START AT THE BEGINNING https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SUYOjLRY_Z8 AND THEN https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xi6fHnq8joE ALSO (topical  )https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6ngDWnP2akE FINALLY I am the one, orgasmatron the outstretched grasping hand My image is of agony, my servants rape the land Obsequious and arrogant, clandestine and vain Two thousand years of misery of torture in my name Hypocrisy made paramount, paranoia the law My name is called religion, sadistic, sacred whore I twist the truth, I rule the world, my crown is called deceit I am the emperor of lies, you grovel at my feet I rob you and I slaughter you, your downfall is my gain And still you play the sycophant and revel in my pain And all my promises are lies, all my love is hate I am the politician and I decide your fate I march before a martyred world, an army for the fight I speak of great heroic days, of victory and might I hold a banner drenched in blood, I urge you to be brave I lead you to your destiny, I lead you to your grave Your bones will build my palace, your eyes will stud my crown For I am Mars, the God of war and I will cut you down https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5qym7ER274

Half a dozen posts in 3 hours. It reaffirms my belief that the world is irreparably less cool now that the man has left us This is the only recorded live show I'm aware of where they play Motorhead. First song, first album, and he stuck to his story ever since https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GeXGW1yXgDg I bought this three weeks ago. I don't care how many jacket sleeves I gently caress up wearing it.

Lemmy accomplished what Mick and Keith haven't: He aged but didn't lose his edge. And yet, at the same time, never felt the need to poo poo on his younger peers (in many cases, embraced them) like Richards frequently does, and unlike Jagger, kept writing cool songs.

Iron Fist is one of the most perfect albums ever made. What a loving loss. Seeing tributes / words from so many different bands on Facebook. The man was respected by just about every single person.

I find the bit with Billy Bob Thorton to be painfully awkward, like he's trying to be cool by association. Scott Ian's shorts story is the highlight.

My friend (a super cute, 5'2", 98lb blonde) was Lemmy for Halloween this year. It was great to see all the other girls, dressed in their "sexy" nurse/teacher/whatever costumes scowling at her. To make it even better, we saw Gwar play that night, so we were covered in fake blood by the time we hit the bars. It made me sad how many people had no clue who she was supposed to be, but the ones who got it loving loved it.

Their set at Wacken Open Air in '06 is a pretty good show, great sound quality for a live set. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jk886pOS4Mo At least skip up to 1:08:00 for a crushing run through of Overkill. Three guitar solos and two false endings? Yes please. I've been pulling up a bunch of random Motorhead vids on Youtube and so far every single one has had recent posts RIP-ing Lemmy

I saw Motörhead when I was like 14 or 15. It was a ticketed thing but they didn't sell many tickets so they just made it GA. So they were playing in the daytime to 3 or 400 people in a little pit of a shed that holds like 12,000, and they were loving pros about it. Put on a great show, the loudest thing I had heard or have since, like make you sick to your stomach loud, just loving cool. Dude's a legend.

I hope he gets buried in LA. I have no desire to go back to that loving city but if he's there with a headstone, a picture of me there would be worth the trip. I'm sad I'll never get to shout "AND WE PLAY ROCK AND ROLL" when they came on stage, again.

Saw a great local band play a Motörhead mini-set last night. Tried to see Motörhead twice and they cancelled both shows. Still, they were the loving best. RIP Lemmy.

Been away from the internet and more importantly my speakers over New Years. I got into Motorhead kinda late. Caught them in November '14, didn't register that Lemmy was ill - just that he was old. The motherfucker pretty much didn't move all show. I was still looking forward to catching him in January. Made plans with a few friends, was gonna get the tickets when I got back from my trip... I think https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sYYAB6cCy1M this might be my favourite Motorhead track. My dream was to see it played live. I'm not sure it ever did. Anyone know if there's footage or a recording of it anywhere?

Lemmy: Fans call for periodic table element to be named after Motörhead frontman It's a heavy metal, obviously! Support the loving petition! https://www.change.org/p/support-lemmy-tribute-name-newly-discovered-heavy-metal-lemmium quote:A petition has been launched to name an element in the periodic table ‘Lemmium’ in honour of Lemmy, the Motörhead frontman who died last week.

A local metal themed brewery is streaming the memorial, so that's where I'll be this Saturday. Probably start drinking early, because I feel it's what Lemmy would have wanted.

Looks like this poo poo will be starting shortly. I checked a couple of pubs and none seemed to mention this, so watching it at home. At least I have beer. It's on

There we go, I guess he had a backup  Too bad James couldn't make it, and Lars looks like a hobo.
