RIP Lemmy Kilmister

What a year of losses, Chris, Spock, and now Lemmy.

Thanks for inspiring this build, Lemmy. See you on the other side.
 
Damn, and just after Philthy Animal..
Rust in Pieces you old badass
Man, I didn't even know. I'm so out of touch with my 'old self.' But I searched around and found this from Lemmy:


"I'm feeling very sad at the moment, in fact devastated because one of my best friends died yesterday. I miss him already. His name was Phil Taylor, or Philthy Animal, and he was our drummer twice in our career. Now he's died and it really pisses me off that they take somebody like him and leave George Bush alive. So muse on that. We're still going, we're still going strong, it's just first Wurzel and now Philthy, it's a shame man. I think this rock'n'roll business might be bad for the human life. "

I didn't post this to create a political debate. It's just what he said. Please don't go there.

The important thing to take away is that he recognized that the 'Rock and Roll' lifestyle could be hazardous. We just lost Scott Weiland of STP Dec 3. Dammit!

Say something.

Careful. Please.

RIP, Lemmy. : (

God damnit.
It was surely bound to happen and it's a wonder of science and nature and chance that it didn't happen before now, but god damnit.
Lemmy was, and always will be, the baddest-ass player to ever pick up a bass. He OWNED bass guitar playing in a way only He could. I am capitalizing "He" because that's what one does with deities... And Lemmy was God.
