Lemmy

:huh:

Absolutely shocked and gutted
One of the saddest days of my life (and I've had a few) and will mourn him like family.
RIP LEMMY
Rock in peace.

We can tell your music list's Steve. :laugh: Not Metal!
No offense! This is one of the best heavy metal jams ever "The Ace of Spades"
Don't know much more from "Motohead"
Did hear the guy was in poor health, but WTF? like all the old rock stars they should have been dead years ago.
Cool thing was, Over Christmas, I heard Lemmy with Dave Grol and Billy ZZ Giibons do "Run Run Rudolph" cover. Excellent!
Check it out with the Christmas season still around.

Not bad. Yeah, my life pretty much went on hold when I got my children back after 6 years of not seeing them. All work. Even the bike was neglected. :dry:
RIP
Steve

He was truly one of the greatest..

R.I.P

My other passion besides motorcycles are Heavy Metal so naturally Lemmy and Mötorhead have been with me since before i started school, a very sad day indeed..

Ace of Spades is one of my favorites, there are not many of the real rockers still alive. Probably one of the most amazing things about his death is he lived this long RIP.

Marty it's kind of funny, the thumbnail for the vid you linked lists Dio, he passed what 3-5 yrs ago too?

He had a house in New Buffalo MI, the town I went to highschool in, so did Dennis Farina, yet another passed away celeb I met a few times.

Ian (Lemmy) did a lot more than Hawkwind and Motorhead, and wrote about half of the Ozzy 'no more tears' album. His book is really worthy of reading, he had an interesting outlook on life.

He grew to hate the 'Ace of Spades' , although probably the song that got him most attention.

I nearly bumped into him a few years ago backstage at Download festival, true heavy metal royalty.

He did well to make it to his 70's given his famous drinking, smoking and 'speed' habit. I suspect he may have known he was going for sometime and preferred to keep it private - the official version of events doesn't sound right to me.

Had the same thoughts myself.
The events all seem too neat and tidy.
I suspect he may have made his own choice of when to go .
