He invited me to have a seat. We talked for quite a while. I went in for dinner and came out with so much more. What a night! Saw him a couple more times before he died. A♠️

No band quite like them for mothers and I saw Deep Puple and Black Sabbath in the mid 70s in large outdoor setting and it was not as loud being outside. I felt like I was in a pressure cooker of volume and my ears rang for several days. I know I had some hearing loss but that's Rock n Roll! Well worth it .

@SirLuciferVampiro3 жыл бұрын
The reason why you love it so much is because at it's heart, Motorhead is simply a "Rock-n-Roll" band. Not really a "Heavy Metal" band. They simply play their music with a lot of energy and personal charisma. It's just Rock-n-Roll....Hence the famous intro by Lemmy, " We are Motorhead, and we play Rock-n-Roll".....Lemmy is God!!!
@televinv80623 жыл бұрын

Like Led Zeppelin, When Lemmy died, they called it quits. Drummer Mikkey Dee said "Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead. We won't be doing any more tours or anything. And there won't be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone."

Am 57 now, and that is still the most iconic memory of concerts back in the 'late '70's and '80's I have. RIP Lemmy.

They would have hated the term "Speed Metal" but they sure got through a lot of speed. Lemmy often said it was not so much recreational as a practicality to keep up with the touring schedule. "Dropped another handful, to keep us on the road" as one of their early lyrics put it.
