RIP Lemmy Kilmister

[davidjbass]

RIP. I will never forget meeting him at the The Channel in Boston in the 80's. I was sitting right next to him at the bar and didn't even know who he was until the bartender told me. And yes he had his bottle of Jack right next to him. He was a nice guy.

Sad news in 2015 we lost both Chris Squire & Lemmy

I will be listening to lots of Motorhead at full volume today. RIP Lemmy, thanks for all the years of great music. Time for you to go rest, you deserve it.

That's just too bad... I just recommended his autobiography to one of the other musicians at the gig last night.

RIP Lemmy!

Goodbye, Lemmy. It's been good.

 

[iriegnome]

He will be missed for sure

 

[CGremlin]

RIP Lemmy. There's a guy who's worthy of all kinds of envy - not many of us get to lead the life we want on our own terms.

Well slightly, it is a negative...

Here's a negative of your negative:

Thanks for the ROCK AND ROLL, Lemmy!

Horrible news. What a loss.

Here's a negative of your negative:

I'm not an expert but AFAIK just inverting a negative only works with black and white Pictures.

No, it works with color images as well - you just invert the color channels individually and tweak it as needed to account for the tint of the brown negative film. This negative wasn't really lit to do it properly, and I didn't spend any time on it, but at least Lemmy's recognizable.

REST IN PEACE, BROTHER. You made being a bass player MASSIVE. I shall carry the torch 'til me last breath...God Bless~

 

[coronado3]

Wow... Probably the 2 biggest rickenbacker bass icons gone in the same year...
RIP Chris and Lemmy

I wouldn't say I'm anywhere close to being a fanatic about Lemmy, but I haven't heard a Motörhead song I didn't like, and I sure admired that rock n' roll lifestyle and coolness that he had in spades and the world is sure a lot less rock n' roll without him. Plus his tone was always gnarly. RIP Lemmy.

Watch the Lemmy documentary if you already haven't.

Wow. That ass!! and those pants!! drooldrool

It's ironic Lemmy was on the cover of this month's Bass Player magazine. The title of the article was "Lemmy: Victory or Die."

Ironic indeed. Gonna have to go find that.

I know it's a bit too soon, but I am wondering what his son Paul is going to do with all his gear.
Paul plays guitar, not bass.

I hope he willed one to Nikki Sixx, I know they were good friends. Perhaps the one with a Thunderbird pickup? I'm thinking it'll be auctioned eventually. I'm just interested to see all the gear he's collected.

I'm glad I got to see him this year. Lemmy is a legend

 

[JayDA]

I had no words when I first heard the news.
But this morning, I'm celebrating his life and the music he gave us.
Did a shot of JD with breakfast, now cranking Space Ritual to 10.
It's what he would have wanted all of us to do.....

I went to bed at 4am, after chasing my meds with the last of the Guinness I picked up last night.
I'm off to the doctor just now, but definitely pumping out some Motorhead when I get back.

RIP Lemmy. I suppose my eardrums can rest now, too! They've never been the same after a few Motorhead shows.
