RIP DAMMIT NOT RI

So sad. Really thought he'd live forever. Still remember November 3rd 1980, Edinburgh Odeon more clearly than 99% of concerts I've been to subsequently.

fuck. this is such a shock. I mean not cos a guy like him couldn't die, with his age, recent health issues, and years of hard living, but I literally just saw him live a few months ago, and although he seemed to not have the same energy as his youth, he put on a great show. the latest album was great too.

Lemmy RIP, not too young to die

xp Possibly common knowledge on ILM but the pic with Ozzy brings to mind Lemmy's writing credit on "Mama I'm Coming Home."

ive spent most of this winter playing Dark Souls while listening to Hawkwind and Motorhead, will be doing the same today. RIP, Lemmy.

This years Motorhead album was excellent, at least they went out on a high.

“Motörhead is over, of course. Lemmy was Motörhead,” Dee said of his long-time bandmate, who died yesterday of what’s being reported as “aggressive cancer.” Dee clarified that the group’s recently completed European tour would be its last, and that Bad Magic, released earlier this year, would likely be its final album. “We won’t be doing any more tours or anything,” Dee said. “And there won’t be any more records. But the brand survives, and Lemmy lives on in the hearts of everyone.”
r.i.p. the band, long live the brand

some of the songs on the first Motorhead album could have worked in Hawkwind if they were slowed down a ton lol

This situation basically sucks and puts my own recent problems into sharp perspective. RIP Lemmy.

All the obvious tribute songs have been played already, but broadcasting that two minutes after the announcement? Oh, Matinee Idle. It's what he would've wanted.
RIP Lemmy, Valhalla will be a LOUDER place today.

I'm so bummed last night/today - his 70 years are a hurricane on this earth, and we're now in the eye - I want someone/some band to really take up the backwind. I'm especially going to miss the camaraderie at Motörhead shows, I can almost count two hands of times I had a beer of mine spilt, and then promptly, friendly replaced by someone who was as into the show as I was ...

I filled in for the host at a bar quiz tonight. I played Motörhead and Hawkwind tracks between rounds. I had to conduct a tiebraker, which I chose to do in the form of an AirGuitar-Off.
I picked "Ace of Spades" for the song.
One of my contestants in this contest hopped up on a table and then jumped off.
He did this for a $5 giftcard to the bar.

I posted a bunch of motorhead songs on facebook on tuesday with one linked in the OP and several following in the comments down below. Last night, I got a solitary "Like" from my dad, for the song 1916. He's an old peacenik, so I can see a ballad mourning the brutality of war being right up his alley. But it was toward the end of the pack so I'm imagining him sitting through a slew of live renditions of more classic Motorhead tracks like Overkill and Iron Fist before he got there.

listening to Motorhead and On Parole today. i prefer the On Parole versions of these songs, especially "Vibrator", which has a really cool trippy Revolver-style drone ending. i can't seem to find that version on youtube otherwise i'd post it.
― AdamVania (Adam Bruneau), Sunday, 10 January 2016 20:50 (eight years ago) link
On Parole is such an incredible album. i have a hard time picking between it and Space Ritual

they recorded it in 1975. that is insane. had anything as fast as this album in rock been done before?
