haha a friend of mine met him once. apparently they were walking in opposite directions, my friend said, "what's up Lemmy", and Lemmy said, "heeeeeeeeeyyyy" and kept walking.. total chill like.

on a side note... didn't know this until I heard that story but he's apparently really short



and yes he's frickin' Rock 'n Roll

I saw Lemmy at the airport in L.A. about 7 years ago. It was 9:00 AM Eastern time, so 6:00 AM Pacific (I was coming in from the midwest). He was smashed in the airport lounge playing video poker. That's rock and roll.

Lemmy = Rock*
Lemmy's Bass = a sacred yet unholy amalgam of Bass and Rhythm Guitar
Motorhead = HELL YEAH!

*we accept Rock as a subset of Rock 'n Roll. Motorhead would need to play more songs with a shuffle beat to be accepted and defined as a proper Rock 'n Roll band, but they're so d@mn good at what they do that -in the name of all that is good in this world- they never change their recipe!

If Lemmy is not rock and roll, then nothing is.

If this is even a question, then what's the world coming to?

Lemmy is SO rock that when Keef Richards forgets what rock is, he watches Motorhead clips on youtube.

How can he be a Rock God? He plays with a pick. Since so many people here believe you're not a real Bass player if you use a pick I'm surprised by the voting.

you joke (i think?!) but Keith mentioned Motorhead as being one of his favourite bands in an interview recently. case closed!

a few years back he was drinking at my regular bar for a few hours. me & my mates were too awestruck to approach ...also it was about 3 deep in rock chicks to get anywhere near him...

I'm fairly certain that motorhead and the rev will be the best show ever.

In a fight between lemmy and god....
