Memorial Service and Celebration of Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister (Official Release) 

There'll never be another like him. Before he died, he was asked how he'd like to be remembered, and he said, "as an honest man." You were that, man.

I posted this for another upload of the services.

I saw motorhead open up for iron maiden in the mid 2000s. My section wasn't very full yet but I was wearing a motorhead shirt and screaming my head off. I'll never forgot when he pointed his bass directly at me and gave me a head knod.

Never thought I would watch a 2-hour funeral video of somebody. I almost got burst into tears when Roger and Grohl did. Rest in peace Lemmy, you were, are and will be my best rock and roll hero.

Lost my Dad in January 2022 and I think it’s Soo great that I think the same.... that my Dad was the BEST Dad in the world. Mine wasn’t famous... just an amazing 35 year mechanic who could rebuild anything, but he was “my Dad”, his name was Dan Burke Sr. and I hope this post lets his memory live on.....❤(thanx whoever is reading, it’s all I really have )

Years ago, I used to bounce at the Rainbow, where Lem, when he was in town; could always be found, sitting at the back-bar usually by himself. It's hardly uncommon to see famous musicans there, but the first time I saw him, I nearly froze! The rest of the bouncers all gave me 'the look' and "yeah yeah'd" me, which I couldn't understand... till a few weeks in & seeing him nightly washed off the shock of it. He always had a zinger, delivered dead-pan, that you'd ponder on for a moment, & well after he'd walked away, the punchline would sink in & leave you in stitches. He was always cordial & gracious. It got to the point where we'd greet each other nonchalantly, I... forgetting that he was a motherfucking ROCK ICON. he was just.. Lem. Another loved regular. One night, I wander into work a bit late, & lem is already there. He had a 6'3" 19-20 year old girl in a dress that looked more like a super hero outfit, sitting on his knee & he chatting her up with a twinkle in his eye. I find this amusing, & a glance around the room reveals that nearly everyone else does too. At one point, he leaps up, grabs the girls purse & tosses it to her, smacks her on the arse & snatches her hand & drags her out of the bar. At this very moment, 'Ace of Spades' begins roaring out of the house stereo... & I remembered who he really is. It's not hyperbole, what they all say of him. Sure... He could be a little dismissive with fan-boys: fan-boy chode #1: *"ERHMEHGERD!?!??! Your Wmmie Kiwmeester!!?!?!* fan-boy chode #2: *"huuUuuUhuHHuH.... yA... yOIU... U R DA SHIT!!!!!!"* Lem: ( without looking away from his video poker game ) *"oh.. izat whut at smell is... eh... aven't stood up in a while."* But with his friends, there was no pretense, & no filter. He loved people out loud & treated them like family. Better than family. Lemmy had that rare & magic trait of being so genuine that it rubbed off on other around him, & you could feel that & see it in how people reacted while hanging with him. When I think of a Rock Star, I tend to think of uniqueness & individuality. ya know... like, copying them is cool when you're 13/14 & jammin' in your room, but when you come of age, you've gotta shine on your own & in your own way... Then I think, why can't we all be like that. No, there will never be another... and yet those traits should in no way be unique. So, let's all take after Lemmy, yeah!? *Rock out loud, live out loud, love out loud & make no excuses!* *Riff in Peace Lem*. We'll see you on the other side. feel free to share yer own stories about him here, in thread *p.s.* Paul Kilmister mentions Lemmy's little 'doodles' & hand-drawn comics... I'd love to see them meself! I'm sure I'm not alone in that respect. A wish for a posthumous publication for an intimate look into the enigmatic fella himself. That aside, I howled during his immensely loving eulogy.

If there's an afterlife. The thought of Lemmy singing A Boy Named Sue alongside Johnny Cash, takes away all fear of the inevitable for me. R.I.P. To the last true rocker.

His son was amazing. Funny, honest, direct. Imagine having to pick yourself up off the floor and doing it with THAT anecdote about your mother . Unbelievable. Dave Grohl was genuine in his hero worship, and the part with the signed leaflet was incredibly moving. Lemmy was clearly more than just a rock n roll star, but to me he defined a sound, a style, a look, an attitude, a NOISE, that not only did no one replicate, no one ever could. A true legend.

Fucking had to fight back tears during Dave's speech. I love how the bass feedback startles him too.

Everyone is there! Except Ronnie James Dio. He is waiting with a cold beer at the gate. 🤘

This was a fucking funny and epic memorial service, just as epic as Lemmy's life, it was so beautiful and it was amazing that Motörhead management shared it to everyone, Rest In Peace, Motörhead and Lemmy still is and will be a great part of my life

"we are motorhead alright?,, and we play rock n roll" R.I.P Lemmy

Who thumbs it down? Major disrespect.RIP Lemmy.

I never got to see them live, I never got to meet the Man, but he seemed like one of the most approachable people ever. His son just knocked it out of the park. That was a hell of a send off. Rip Lemme, God rest, and rock on. It’s going on 7 years and you are still missed

I will never ever forget watching this, thank you so much for allowing us to be part of it. RIP Lemmy

I almost cried during his son's speech RIP LEMMY

He was an amazing man. I always loved motörheads music but to be honest i think it was his kindness and his honesty which made him more than a singer to me. he became a true hero (personally) because he was one of the rare people who can be funny, badass, rock n roll, happy and at the very same time kind undertstanding and honest I will really miss him but I hope at least some will remember him and what he stood for and realize that he was really unique which in todays music world sadly doesnt seem to exist anymore

What an absolutely beautiful service. It is a real tribute to a well loved and great man. And how generous of his family to share such a private moment in time with his fans.

2:00:50 The last time the strings of that rickenbacker will ever be plucked. That is some serious feels there, more so ever than any of the speeches made, for me at least.

A very dear friend met him in1976 at a gig her friends put on, when Motörhead’ arrived she introduced herself, Lemmy kissed her hand and said, quote, at your service Dawn, she said he was the nicest gentleman she had ever met, RIP

I could finally rewatch the speech of Dave Grohl. If u watched the livestream you probably noticed the sound problem they had at the Kurt Cobain part Rest in Peace Lemmy

even rock n 'roll cried at the death of Lemmy

motorhead signed my vinyl copy of overkill soon after it's release,it is now framed and hangs pride of place in my living room,thankyou brother and God bless you if he dares :-)

for a moment i thought that Slash 1:09:11 will walk out of the church and play an amazing solo in front of it

I loved motorhead in the early days, and I love them now, I can't say that about any other band. Lemmy was England's finest export, he showed us how to be real! may your spirit live on forever.love to you and yours.

His sons words brought me to tears. God love ya. I tried to say something at my fathers funeral and I just could not do it. You are wonderful.

Rest In Peace Lemmy! You will forever be missed and loved my many! Thank you for all the wonderful music you've given us! It will forever live on.

He was Motorhead, and he played rock n roll. He'll never be forgotten. God speed Lemmy, god speed

Thanks for fixing the broadcasted audio on Dave's speech with this upload. Rock on Lemmy, wherever you are!

This is beautiful. I have never been a fan of Motörhead’s music but Lemmy was an amazing human being. I was glued to this the whole way through. So nice to witness the love for this fantastic guy. Rest in peace Lemmy. We love you. 👍🏻❤️

2:00:47 you can literally see lemmys ghost rushing through Dave when they turn up the bass lemmys ghost is like "haha gotcha buddy!". man, we miss you lem.

Lemmy is with God trust me. God cannot deny a man with so much love and kindness spread throughout a lifetime. He was not perfect just like the rest of us.

For the first time I cried and laugh at the same time... He will never be forgoten...

4 years today, we miss you Lemmy!!!

I have ALWAYS loved Dave Grohl, but after listening to his heartfelt eulogy to Lemmy, I love and respect him even more... God Speed, Lem.. Rest in Peace

rest in piece lemmy, you helped me through my depression, ill always honor you by listening to your first album, thank you again Lord Lemmy

MOTORHEAD was my favourite band. And Lemmy was the best musician for me. I can't belive that he's gone. In my youth i dreamed to become a man similar to Lemmy. I'll never forget him.

The Ramones and Motorhead...biggest inspirations in my life, they're together now. This service was beautiful... long live Lemmy, long live the Ramones

By FAR , the GREATEST video I have ever seen on RU-vid!! Thank You for sharing all of this ❤️

Dave's speech brought me to tears... R.I.P Lemmy

I'm crying watching this. God bless Lemmy, you're a God

My greatest regret in life is falling in love with Motorhead *after* Lemmy's passing. Thank you Razorfist for introducing me to this truly outstanding gentleman and god-fucking-speed, Ian Kilmister.

Legends live for ever ! He was the best, he is still the best, For ever ! Love Lemmy !

This service is immortal. Amazingly set up. A true honor in Lemmy and Motorhead history. Many musicians don't get this type of honor after departing! Lemmy was awesome and will forever be awesome.

i finaly heard daves speach ! i was so pissed when the audio broke at the live stream ... daves speach is so fuckin emotional so fucking beautiful ... R.I.P Lemmy !

It's been 3 years Lemmy. We met several times at the Rainbow and while I was a nobody, you always treated me like one. I call you my friend now even though you probably wouldn't remember much of me, you always treated me like a friend you've had for years. I have no reason to believe you weren't like that with everybody else, but it meant the world to me. Thank you for being who you are, for giving us your music. For just being unapologetically Lemmy. Thank you for being a friend. We will meet again.

RIP lemmy I hope there’s sum thing out there after death, and one day we will all be up there listening to the ace of spades , live.

Several years ago I walked into a local bar on a Tuesday night with a friend of mine and we sat down and ordered a drink. About 5 minutes later we noticed a tall scraggly man playing pinball over in the corner and after several minutes of glances and stares, we realize that it is Lemmy, all alone, playing video games and drinking a jack and coke. My friend and I finally get the courage to walk over and say hello and I can say with as much conviction as anyone here who knew him for decades that that man was so profoundly polite and nice to us that it blew my mind. Not a shred of pretentiousness and he took several minutes to talk with us, have a smoke and take some pictures. He then invited us to his show the following night and we left him to his game. I’ve met several well known musicians in my life and Lemmy was the only one who didn’t give me the vibe that he was annoyed by me. Memory Eternal Lemmy, and thanks for the drink that night in Spokane, Washington. 🍻

Lemmy has taken his place among the gods in Valhalla. Shake the rafters, Lem. Show Thor how it's done.

Lemmy and cliff Burton are the reason I am a bass player today. I know will never be half as cool as Lemmy but I know I am doing what he loved to do and that is playing and raising hell while jamming out my amp so loud the people 2 blocks away will hear it !!!!!

I got chills from the Feedback ! This was beautiful. Thank you so much for sharing. I always wanted to sit and talk with Lemmy. That will have to wait. You are much missed and never forgotten, you are one of my great influences. Thank you Lemmy, for being 'You"!!!

May Lemmy continue to run wherever and however he chooses in his newfound existence. Cheers brother. Your strength is a gift to our human experience. Thanks for the energy, we shall cherish it.

I've listened to Motörhead a lot over the last roughly 20 years, since high school really, and saw them live only once as part of Gigantour with Megadeth and Volbeat in 2012 and was hurt when Lemmy passed away. Despite that I never really knew the whole story of Lemmy and the band other than the music. Only in the last couple of years have I come to appreciate Motörhead more and more and begin to really cherish that night in 2012 when I saw them. I visited the Rainbow while in LA this past January and got to sit at the bar next to Lemmy's spot and was in awe while at the same time wishing he were still alive to share a Jack & coke with him. I've watched this a couple of times now and I'm in even more awe of not just how much of a badass he was but also how great of a human being he was. I laughed when Triple H, Rob Trujillo and Rob Halford shared their stories and ugly cried when his son Paul and Dave Grohl spoke about him. There will never be another like him and he will live on through Motörhead's music hopefully long after we've long passed ourselves. RIP Ian 'Lemmy' Kilmister \m/ ♤

HE DIDN'T WANT TO LIVE FOREVER. We heard him say that somewhere...... Thanks for everything, Lemmy!

It was a sad day for all of us when Lemmy died, but Motörhead will live forever. Greetings!

God bless you lemmy. Thanks for your music. The soundtrack to my life. You signed my grandma's knickers at the centre bar Hotel after playing Hull city Hall in 1984. She's now passed. I have them. You was so nice to her and left a lasting impression on her xx

I find it so beautiful that Paul Inder wears the same hat as his dad in pretty much every picture he's in

I hate that I really dove into Motörhead during Covid, the band and the badass himself helped me through the worst times of my life. It’s never too late to find love. God bless lemmy!

He lived a hell of a life and was an icon to a generation

One of the greatest to ever do it. A true legend. Thanks for all the great music and all the great moments I lived ever since a teen back in the 80's. Will live forever!

I can't believe it's been five years. Damn. RIP to an absolute legend.

One Of My Favourites and maybe The Last Rock Icon to me !!! I Will Always Remember You trough memories,records,videos,drawings,and pics !!! Keep On Shaking Rock and Roll Heaven with All Your Music Friends There Lemm..Don't Stop Man !!! Salud y Vida Pa'lante !!! Cheers and Life On !!!

RIP Ian Lemmy Kilmister you were indeed and always will be a true Legend.. Nice touch with Lemmys bass guitar fired up at the end and the amp turned up...

Thank you for putting this up...lemmy and motorhead forever....gone but will not be forgotten. Rip lemmy. A fan since 1980!

Paul's stories were the best. It's kind of cool to hear what Lemmy was like as a father.

I'll miss you Lem...thunderous bass gentle soul farewell my friend..

God Bless you Lemmy. YOU changed my life in a good way. Thank you

Found this by chance, not particularly a big Motörhead fan but having lost my Dad and Mum too thought his son made a fantastic obituary, it must have been very difficult and emotional for him. Much respect.

I thought I'd watch this for a couple of minutes and continue watching the next day. It's 4 am and I saw the whole memorial without even noticing. Truly compelling.

I met Lemmy and spoke with him he was a very good morality man who loved making and performing music who had love for his fans that were the reason he was able to make a career doing so. He had some of what I considered good punk inside him. He was not a poser at all like his son says. He was a true rock star who was a roadie for Jimmy Hendrix and I think Black-Sabbath yet spoke with me like a friend. When he said it is nice to talk to someone who knows whats going on I told him" I know Motorhead is considered heavy Metal or Hard Rock band. However I being a Gen X Surfer/Surf Punk I think Motorhead has some good punk rock sound in some of your sound as well and I like it a lot. He smiled shook his head the yes way. I was happy to learn of his friendship of some kind with The Ramones his dating or more? and performing with Wendy O Williams of the Plazmatics. I heard him in an interview later say "If not for our long hair you might think we were a punk band. That and hearing that there was a drink they named the Lemmy at least where he frequented. It was A Jack and Coke ! RIP Lemmy hope we meet again when I pass if I can make it up to the better place where I am sure You must be! Your music will carry on!

Lemmy was and will always,in my humble opinion, be a legendary musician. My deepest and most heart felt condolences to Lemmy's family and friends. Thank you, sir, for all of the memories and hard driving music. Rest well and we will see you in the next life.

Good Manners cost nothing! Thank you very glad... Mr. Lemmy, sir!! Rock In Peace - Gentleman.

"I'm sorry what happened to your friend".-Lemmy. Damn. That is powerful. The words he chose. Unbelievable.

Every day from Now on I'm going to blare Ace Of Spades in your honor. you showed all of us to be ourself. we all miss you Lemmy long live Motorhead. My favorite thing you said was "we are Motorhead and we play Rock n Roll" R.I.P Lemmy Kilmister we will never ever forget you!

I don't think I've heard a more heart felt obituarie from a non family member then Grohl said. 😪😪

In all things he was true to himself. He lived rock n roll, always cared about his fans, and had a hilarious sense of humour. He wouldn't allow bad language around women, he treated them with respect. He said that most love is unrequited, that's where all the best songs come from. He lived his life on his own terms, and expected others to do the same. RIP Lemmy, and Thank You.

My heart still continues to weep... R.I.P. Lemmy you freaking legend. 👍

From the first time I heard Motorhead I was hooked. Lemmy, you were what I perceived rock and roll should be, and you will live in my heart till I draw my last breath. Thank you for all the memories.

A perfect service for a Perfect Rocker.Lemmy was there and he enjoyed it.

R.I.P. Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister, The Champion of Rock, The Guardian of Roll! A True Great Man, true to his last breath, serving us all from the depth of his soul, rolling out all good music and gave the soundtracks to my life!! Thanx, My Hero!! ....And yet again, you Stand By Me, my friend! In deepest honor, Lemmy!! No Abowe, No Beside!! All past, is now future!! .......................................................With deepest condolances to his friends and family!..........................................................

Thank you so much for sharing this.

RIP A lovely send off with laughter and tears. He was and will always be a great man Thank you for lovely word at the end

I meet lemmy at the commodore ballroom in vancouver he gave me guitar picks and took pictures with him he was a very kind and genuine person and a true icon .God bless you . You will be missed dearly

I got chills during Triple H's speech. Man we lost a good one when Lemmy passed away. Motorhead for life!

Yes. you played rock n roll. and that loud. almost 5 years already ... you´r still rocking!

Wow, so much love for Lemmy. Very emotional to watch, especially Dave Grohl's heartfelt eulogy.

I met Lemmy in 2010 when I was nineteen and he was perfectly happy to have a conversation and smoke a cigarette while we discussed rickenbackers and blues music. He was so gracious and generous with his time, and I'm grateful that I got to have that experience

''Lemmy has left the building" :'( Goodbye Lem.

Dude I saw this on live on a bar, today I still missing him.. Greetings from a dude who grow up with ur music, thanks.

Thank you for sharing this. It's been hellish since this day..Lemmy...Bowie...Rickman...hoping it will stop.

Thank you motorhead. RIP Lemmy 💫

i was introduced to Motörhead by my friend 2 years ago, thanks to Motörhead i grow one of my dearest friendship, expanded my taste in music and i learned about a cool man who lived like it was the last day. i don't if i can call myself a Motörhead fan or a Lemmy fangirl but everytime i learn about Lemmy i never get disappointed, it's nice to admire a wonderful person. Thank you so much Lemmy, rest in peace.

Jesus this doesn't get any easier to watch. 10 months on & the pain won't go away, god bless you Lemmy,!!!!

Sad to see this metal icon pass. Still can’t believe that was 2015. Doesn’t seem that long ago. Some of my childhood dies with each metal icon’s passing…God bless you, Lemmy…..never forget
