Surprised only a couple of posts to this thread & very few on the RIP thread.
This is a huge loss to heavy metal (even though the man himself just said Motorhead were a rock n roll band) & rock music in general; think of the influence he had on Hawkwind & the influence Motorhead had... fusing punk & heavy rock, inspiring (inventing?) thrash metal and keeping Jack Daniels's shares in the ascendant for 40 years. The flood of tributes from across the musical spectrum says a lot for Lemmy's legacy, as do the huge number from those who met him either in passing or as a friend, all saying what a generally decent bloke he was. I was lucky enough to have met him a couple of times in my teens & even though I was just a spotty teenager & he was a grizzled rock god of 35, he had time to talk to people & always came across as genuinely friendly & glad we liked the band (never met Phil Taylor, but Eddie Clarke's the same). Rock will not see his like again & now heaven has both him and Phil Taylor, things just got fecking noisy up there.  The man, the legend, the wart, the Rickenbacker - thanks for 40 years of tinnitus, you old bugger; we'll miss you. Edited by Jim Garten - December 31 2015 at 04:57 |

Hi, Jim. Long time no see.  There's one more thread on this with way more replies: http://www.progarchives.com/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=105328. |
