Even Lemmy would tell you he isn't the best bassist or singer in the world.

He may not be the best, but he started a whole branch of the rock family tree. And he plays a Ric. Right on!

Lemmy is in his own category. He is the best at doing what he does.

The answer is yes to all questions. I am too afraid of Lemmy to say otherwise.

Geddy Lee. He plays bass, sings, and plays keyboard. At the same time. Rush played on the Colbert Report last summer. They played Tom Sawyer and it was great.

Lemmy was editor of his school's magazine. A true badass.

Utterly unique, a true groundbreaker and innovator. Like Dylan, love him or hate him. I choose to love him. And hate Dylan
