[@micahgrossman8052]

It was amazing to be on the Sunset Strip Saturday Night and see so many people out there to pay our respects by throwing back some cold ones and rocking out to loud music. There was a tribute show by Metal Allegiance at the Whisky with over a dozen greats from some of my favorite bands playing classic covers and some originals. They closed out with a killer Motorhead set - Mikkey Dee came out to play drums for a song! My favorite moment was probably Dave Lombardo playing drums for Overkill. It was an awesome night and a fitting way to salute an say farewell to Lemmy.

Fuck that a great story. Thank you for sharing!

[@davidrobinson2776]

Speed is a funny old drug. I lived on the stuff when I was young. You got used to the comedown and cured it by having more. It’s as if my body adapted to it. Then I quit and never touched a thing for 15 years. Suddenly, as part of my ongoing midlife crisis at 45 years old, I acquired some. Fucking hell! I was convinced I was having a heart attack or a stroke,probably both at the same time. Then I felt suicidal coming down. 2 days later, I did it again, and again and finally finished it off. I looked like shit, couldn’t have a piss and hadn’t eaten for a week. So, I retired. But my word it was beautiful. And I had the cleanest bathroom you ever saw.

[@PaulieD1984]

😂 brilliant I've not touched fast in about 15 years...I don't miss trying to find my Todger and standing at the toilet for 30 mins trying to squeeze a piss out.....I still have the occasional patsy of ching at least that wears off you in a couple of hours.

I can vouch for Lemmy the gentleman. 14 years old, he signed my T-shirt after the Queens Hall gig in Leeds, 1982 (Ace of Spades Tour) that got on the No Sleep til Hammersmith LP. Which I skipped school to buy on the day. He treated us all as fans and was very careful to only slightly molest me with his marker pen. Not that I would have complained. What a man. They stayed outside chatting with all of us until we had to go get the parent's car, bus or train. And what a gig. I was a goth then too, Motorhead had cross-over appeal, punks, ska, hippies, everyone was there.

I'm a hardcore punk lover, there's very few bands more punk than motorhead. Their sound is the perfect mix of all school rock and roll, punk rock and certain metal bands. Their lifestyle, they lived for what they wanted to do, not what people wanted them to do. And Lemmy, he's actually the embodiment of punk. Funny, honest, true to himself, respectful but not going to be treated without it, lived for life, was real as they come, caring and badass
