Lemmy: Is he Rock and Roll?

Sign in to disble this ad
My fiance says I have a man-crush. She's probably right. But in my book, it doesnt get any more rock than one Lemmy Kilmister. Wanted everyone's opinion on this true living legend.

I don't know if he's rock and roll or not, but he sure is handsome! My son is always telling me that bass players are the ugliest members of any band. I think he must have got that idea from seeing Lemmy!

HEy any guy who can live that long on Cocain and Bourbon, nail hundreds more women than anyone I know WITH gigantic tumors sprouting off his face, and has his own signature Rickenbacker( and not some BS Fender sig where its a boring old guitar with a bat or somesuch crap stuck on it), is pretty &^&*&^& Rock and Roll. Your Fiance needs to Listen to Ace Of Spades beggining to end and take a shot on every chorus. That'll get her seeing things our way.

How can anyone vote no to this? This may be the first poll ever that does not need "carrots" as an option. I am surprised "no" is even an option. But, there are a few misguided souls out there.

Apparently, at one point he went to his doctor for a check up, and the doctor told him that if he ever stopped taking speed, his nervous system would collapse!

Hardcore!!

^thats my point!

Take her out in a T top IROC tuned port, open that puppy up and BLAST "We are the Road crew" as high as itll go (actually better if its at max decibels on a crappy stereo system. adds to the ambiance)

BAM! Instant believer.

I took my 13 year old daughter to see them 2yrs back. We were right on the barriers up front in the centre. He walked out, spat his cigarette into the crowd, told everyone - "We are Motorhead & we play Rock n F*****NG Roll" - tore into Dr Rock, which was so loud I could barely make it out.

My daughter has never been the same since.

She is still the envy of her friends (and they think she has a cool Dad!!)

^many flimsy girly men would criticize you for that particular decision. I for one am praying my kids don't have to wait until they are 13 to see Motorhead. Good job, father of the decade! I salute you.
