richwwtk Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 A life lived without compromise. A true original, often copied but never bettered. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
eastonboy Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Saw them live twice - once at Bristol Studio and once at Newport - no bullshit "How ya doing Bristol/Newport", just "This is Bomber", "This is Overkill" etc. - all killer, no filler. An incredible live band(probably moreso than studio band) and a TRUE Legend of Rock. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chipdawg Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 Saw Motörhead at the Academy in Leeds from the side of the stage (I know a guy), Lenny was a force of nature, top gig RIP fella Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The Batman Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 My first experience of Lemmy was the young ones university challenge episode. Then dad started playing more of him around the house when I said I liked the song. Funniest gig moment for me happened at the colston hall seeing him. You had all the "older" generation stood there headbanging with the kids trying to start moshing. Some kid around 15/16 ran straight into one older guy, spilt his drink and got a huge right hand to the head. Out cold he was. They carried his mate off to the side and when they returned they stood like statues. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bambi was shot all over the place - Clifton, BTM and then the train scene is on the Portishead line when the GWR 150 celebrations went on. Viven gets his head chopped off and kicks it around the tracks by Pill station. Remember them filming it. Absolutely outrageous cast for that episode mind http://m.imdb.com/title/tt0752252/fullcredits/cast?ref_=m_tt_cl_sc Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lanterne Rouge Posted December 29, 2015 Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 RIP big man. You were a big part of growing up for me and so sad to see you go. I`m gonna have Ace Of Spades running through my head all day now. Legend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Admin Maesknoll Red Posted December 29, 2015 Author Admin Report Share Posted December 29, 2015 I am more than a little amazed that he lasted 70 years. I was fortunate enough to attend some gigs and the after gig parties 30 or so years ago and the amount of drink and the size of the bags of nose candy were a sight to behold and one I'll never forget.

Major Isewater Posted December 30, 2015 Report Share Posted December 30, 2015 RIP Lemmy . Saw a part of their gig in Norwich but could n't stay til the end as it was awful ! A band regular had flu and they bought in a replacement who was not only not on the same hymnsheet but in another church . Motorhead played loud , very loud and proud but this guy just messed up the sound so much i decided not to give up my hearing that night. Lemmy , the guy who invented Rock stereotypes , made it real . Bless him . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The bloke would of been around the same age as I was at the time so mid to late ish teens. If you're old enough to dish it out, you're old enough to take any repercussion. Even I knew not to mosh and jump into a load of hells angel-esque rockers in a confined space. I'm surprised they waited as long as they did cuz they were pissed off for a good long while, but he waited until they crashed into him. It was hilarious.

... Posted December 31, 2015 Report Share Posted December 31, 2015 Ace of Spades would make it onto a top list of rock from now until the end of time, long after most other 'legendary' stuff is long forgotten. So, RIP, true legend. Uncle TFR Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
