Lemmy Kilmister Farewell - Wacken Open Air 2016

Wacken Open Air bowed its head to the departed rock'n'roll legend Lemmy Kilmister, who died on 28th December 2015. For this special occasion the Motörhead bomber was brought on stage one last time while a farewell movie was played on the festival screens. Lemmy's bandmates Phil Campbell and Mikkey Dee brought friends of the band onto the stage and found consoling words.

Fun Fact: Lemmy was so fucking great as a person that there's no place in heaven for how great Lemmy was.

This is the real "Don't cry challenge"

I am not even an active listener of Motörhead, but you can just feel that a legend went down here, the energy is unbelievable. And that guy crying gives me the rest. Im weeping along

I had gotten into Motorhead too late, and missed out on all the great things they provided for their fans. I have dreamed of being at one of their shows, but it will sadly never happen in the real world. But that doesn't stop me from being in the show. Thanks to him, I've picked up the bass and I plan to spread his influence even further. Thank you Lemmy!

It's my impression or someone from behind went to hug the guy with the bandana? That's really sweet. And people think that metalheads are rude people...

[@agp11001]

If you're a metal head, you're a brother or a sister to other metal heads. We might bicker and fight and be rude to each other, but it's what siblings do, isn't it?

[@creamC19]

I'm a kid from the 90's, unfortunately motörhead has always been far away from me, until 2008 or 2009 when I started listening to this legend! I got a huge fan of this awesome music and the guys, with lemmy on top of it all, such a nice and gentle human being with a very big heart for his fans. you can't imagine how much happy I was to see them in 2015 live, it's so sad that I had only once the chance to see them, but this memory will remain for the rest of my life!!! the next time I will cry like a baby is when slayer plays their last show

[@FreebirdRider]

If You don't shed a teart, you shouldn't be here.

[@deeburrell7095]

Wacken is awesome for doing this! RIP, Lemmy. Your music will live on when all of the bullshit is forgotten. You are missed, brother!

[@eMKayrockt]

The last flight of the bomber. I was live on the holy holy ground. So emotional! We will never forget you! Always in our hearts!

Zero dislikes. - Respect! Thank you Lemmy, for 36 years, you have made more beautiful for me. R.I.P.

[@pilummurialis6490]

6 years on, I still tear up, and I know that pain of those who were crying at this show, especially that one guy who was on screen and another audience member came to comfort him, that's a real brotherhood amongst Rock n Roll

[@Real_SkyRipper]

Lemmy body dies, Lemmy legacy lives on, this was very nice to watch, thanks Motorhead

Thanks Phil Campbell and MikeeDee for pushing and challeging Lemmy to be the best. You are MOTORHEAD THANK YOU

10:49 Dude saw a fellow motorheadbanger needed him. They probably didn't know each other until that moment

Lemmy wasn't the kind of man who would just show emotion, but seeing this beautiful tribute would surely bring a tear to his eye.

[@nikklazz]

When the bomber lifted I had a tear on my cheek...and then Lemmy shouts "bomber!"..😢

Happy birthday you beautiful son of a bitch. You're a god damn legend and you will never truly die. Not even Death can kill you thanks to the legacy you left behind. Thank you for everything, Lemmy.

BUT this here...man... this and EDDIE Van Halen tribs have me crying like a little kid. one must wonder...if they're was never Motorhead imagine how DIFFERENT everything would be.
