The Quietus interviews Lemmy 

Lemmy always knew there would be no Motorhead if it wasn't for the fans. A strong character trait he kept throughout his life.

Alienart very true man I'm a musician new on the scene and even show I've done with other bands the other bands just hate and talk shit about the other me on the other hand when a bands done with their set even if I didn't really like the music or the genre of music I wall up to them shake their hand and tell em great show/performance cause with being a musician I can relate to the blood sweat and tears and hrs that go into writing a song and to put ur self out their part of the resion I lv motorhead so much is cause lemmys attitude reminds me of my own ;) lv u lemmy miss u hope ur playing a show were ever your at now R.I.P

Alienart yes very good fella

Thats because Lemmy was a very sweet and positive minded man.

That's because he loved music and was a musician and not a dickhead. How could one not enjoy other peoples creativity?

@@BiWesCrew There's a lot of People only like one type of music, sad, my Son has tattoos of Motorhead, one a signature off Lemmy, he's a huge fan also of the Pet Shop Boys and loves Chas and Dave lol

That's the great thing about him, people who's lives have been through the rough can relate to him, because he kept going in that lifestyle even if he surely had millions of pounds available to him. That's a true human being.

+123TauruZ321 Fuck yes. He's just a rock n roll legend. There's only 1 Lemmy and there will never be another and he's very philosophical, genius and really down to earth. I'm an atheist but I'd pray to Lemmy. Lol.

I got to speak to him one time and I choked. Was nearly speechless and all I could come up with was a stupid question about reuniting with Fast Eddie and Philthy. A great moment tarnished.

@@123TauruZ321 .money doesn't make the man...he shines through that..wish I had a chat with him....and maybe jammed a tune.

@@danielhammond6348 I wish i could get piss drunk with a bottle of jd, that is when i start saying my best stuff ^^ Agree with your points.

711honved He was a lovely guy. Loved music loved taking the piss just a great guy who loved Buddy Holly's and Jimmy Reed' s approach.

Don't mean to offend a fellow Motörhead brother, but i am quite sick of people dramatizing his health. He lived a hard rock'n roll lifestyle, and he worked hard too, always on the road or in the studio. Drank and smoked heavily and certainly had his fair share of other substances too. It was his choice, it is to be expected. Just leave it alone.

He lived a life of excess but lived to the age of 70. Hard bastard 😎

@@123TauruZ321 He did a lot of speed. DESPITE the DEA's lies, it will NOT hurt you unless you take it to such excess you neglect your daily nutrition. He's been doing speed for over 40 years, and if he had had a PSA test and colonoscopy like anyone over 60 should, he'd still be with us. . I rest my case.

@@123TauruZ321 He did speed for 40+ years. He did not neglect his body's need for nutrients and it did not hurt him, as it would not hurt anyone whjo uses it with common sense.

Scott Reed He had soul like James Brown.

Earth signs usually are.

Lord Byron on speed

Very.

He learned to be a streetwise kind of person fairly early on , the rest is lots of experiences

I think he's having a too good of a time making music again with wurzel and Philty to come back unfortunately

RASAP (Return As soon As Possible)

I’m sure he would give and do anything to come back, but he would most definitely have a different attitude, guaranteed!!!! But he cannot, that ship has sailed!!!!!!

The live concerts are sadly missed

No virgins left in heaven now.

Marni Stone He gave no fucks.

like he said himself - it wasn't a stage costume he would take off at the end of the day, it was how he dressed every day

He never stopped being a bad ass

Marni Stone well he never stopped being a badass it wasnt dress up for him it was him

Dressing?

I read Hawkwind by David Abraham's . In it Dave Brock eludes to the reasons why Lemmy got sacked from his band . Lemmy was overly aggressive when woken from two days in bed while the rest of them were trying to get to the next gig . Lemmy repeated this inconsiderate behaviour all over North America and by the time they were due in Edmonton they took a vote and he got binned. Lemmy has never forgiven the members of Hawkwind and in the last few years it was stylish to blame Hawkwind , it was indeed his own fault that it led to his sacking. Lemmy had been on stage many times as a guest at lots of Hawkwind gigs and just once it would have been pious of him to have admitted he was wrong about his back biting attitude . I have always been a fan and mean no disrespect but the truth is the truth and Americans are usually 30 years behind the story . Dave Grohl's first ever sighting of the band was on the Young Ones TV show . This was obviously the Classic line up had split and Philthy was to leave straight after . Despite a new incarnation Lemmy was flogging a dead horse because the Classic line up was the best line up .

Yeah, he's careful where he aims, if he thinks you just need a waking up he aims for the leg. If you're an asshole bastard he aims for your head.

Me too..., every day !!! :-(((

Let's celebrate him forever dude!Cheers!!!..

2020 and counting forever

2024

Howard Forton yes great bass lines...he had an excellent ear

@Winston's Bogy Or Jack Daniels :P

True. I very much doubt anyone would admit to being his hand twin.

@@NOWtheband absolutely true but those hands did give us metal so that’s good enough

@@johnhowe8424 - I'm very glad you agree. Thank you. :-) Regarding 'hand twin' = I was referencing a joke made by one of the characters of the television show "Friends" because of Jason Thomas' mention of Lemmy being a 'terrible hand model'.. I'm not an ex-spurt but I believe metal, in it's infancy, was around before Lemmy began Motorhead in 1975 (I don't count Hawkwind, Sam Gopal or The Rockin' Vickers as being proto-metal) but i wouldn't dispute that he helped it's development!

if you were a fool (esp. an interviewer), lemmy wouldn't suffer you - you would be taken to bits

Mountains of drugs and an ocean of alcohol, perhaps two.

Hard drugs, lemmy knew his limits, just took speed and booze

@bonkeydollocks1879: And a hell of a lot of acid for a number of years.

@Mark Seymour He wasn't as thin as that in 2010 or 2011

He was not ,,This was in November,2010...

Well he most likely had cancer at this point and didn’t find out until he finally went to a doctor 2 days before he died

@Mark Seymour why would you doubt it

I think it’s definitely possible, some people live for years and years with cancer before they die. Also it could be said that he has had cancer his whole life but took 70 years to kill him. We will never really know. RIP Lemmy and original line up of Mötorhead but long live Mötorhead. They are Rock n Roll

Yeah man the bit about we only fuck up what we need to survive on this planet like the Oxygen, and it’s made of volcanoes it’ll be here long ago after we are gone. dark, insightful, yet hilarious.

'Just' an alcoholic. Some of the smartest people you could imagine are alcoholics. It's not related to intelligence.

You just right men humble lemny 🤘🤘🍺👺☠️

Takk for liken daniel

Really?Where do you know that?

Oh my cawd. You sound cute

Savor that moment, many didn't get to see them at all. And you can switch on a DVD or see on RU-vid. I saw them 4 times live, best experiences of my life. I recommend 1916 Live Everything louder than everything else Live Munich. That is the best live show i've ever seen by any band. So raw and unpolished.

Ah. G'won. Indulge me! @8:50 Lemmy and George Carlin. 2 of my heroes. Fuck! I'm a miserable cunt. "Save the bees, save the trees. Save the whales, save those snails!" ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-7W33HRc1A6c.html

What?

Play it loud or play something else.

Stop with the "kurt didn't kill himself" bullshit. You just look stupid and immature as an 8th grader trying to sound knowledgeable. Enough already.

Turn to dust!!!

Smelend I think it's "Get Back in Line"

Get back in line

Smelend You can use a app called Shazam to find the names of some songs.

Lemmy n George Carlin. Fear of germs. The germs would have never stood a chance. ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-CnmMNdiCz_s.html

Merciful Radio well he is god.

he was a rhythm guitarist, so he wasn't completely new. he just ended up playing bass like a rhythm guitar - chord shapes and strumming the strings. it's still something he doesn't get credit for. to watch him play live is amazing - see what his left and right hands are doing, neither are just single note plod-along

Merciful Radio he already knew how to play guitar so im sure he new enough basic cords to do the gigs

Root notes most likely

Its not hard to play bass of you can already play guitar.

2010-11...just after The World is Yours came out. Probably 2011.

I think some think this was 2015, it obviously isn't. He looked very different towards the end. My guess is that this was about 2011.

November, 2010
