Returning from my long break from these forums with sad tidings:

http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-24806076

Though Motorhead itself was more or less the opposite of prog - Lemmy proudly describing it as back to basics rock-and-roll - it's nice to see the BBC obituary giving his work with Hawkwind due credit.

Sad indeed. 

Wasn't a huge Motorhead fan, (wasn't even a big guilty pleasure) but Lemmy is a legend.

He rocked hard, lived hard and made no apologies or backtracks for either. 

RIP

I was priviliged to witness Lemmy's last Hawkwind show before getting busted and fired. That Montreal concert was deafening and I remember that listening to the radio (the proggy CHOM -FM)  after the show was just  impossible.  RIP  
I never post anything anywhere without doing more than basic research, often in depth.

In a way it doesn't matter whether he goes up or down - whichever department you're in, you'll be able to hear him.

Hi,
 
RIP
 
I can see/hear Nik Turner and Dave Brock now looking at each other ... and remember some old times ... that made them all famous!
Music is not just for listening ... it is for LIVING ... you got to feel it to know what's it about! Not being told!

Heard about this yesterday.  Since the missus does not care for Motorhead I played Space Ritual in memorium instead.
