Is it possible that I've heard of Motörhead but never heard any of their music?

 

[Frank Harvey]

Nope.

 

[MrReaper182]

Very sad news , but it's been coming for some time now. I'm off to play my favourite Motorhead album Inferno very loud. Also I will play Lemmy era Hawkwind loud today too.

 

[Blacksabbath25]

[Vladimir]

The last true hard core.

Unlikely but you may have heard them even if they played hundreds of miles away ... .

 

[scene]

Sat on the train to work today listening to the deluxe remastered Ace of Spades...

I would say RIP Lemmy - but not his style. So rip it up Lemmy and play it loud!

 

[stevee1966]

Motorhead was the first gig i ever went to. Sophia Gardens in Cardiff on the Ace Of Spades tour. My ears were ringing and i had a big smile on my face all the next day in school.

Lemmy - one of the few who truely led the rock star lifestyle.

Interesting guy, horrible music. But I don't think they belong in the HiFi section. 🙂

 

[emperor's new clothes]

Saw Hawkwind in the early 70s and Lemmy's vocals and bass playing on Silver Machine outstanding.

Many years later, had a short chat on a flight from LA. A memorable character.

RIP

 

[Paulq]

Legend even if not everyone's cup of tea. RIP.

 

[Pedro2]

Sad news.

He was born in Burslem, Stoke on Trent. Born a Stokie myself, always sorry to hear about the death of a famous son of the city. It'll be loud in heaven today!

 

[BIGBERNARDBRESSLAW]

Lived his life exactly how he wanted to, not all of us can say that.

A genuine legend of Rock n' Roll.

 

[Pedro2]

You know I'm born to lose, and gambling's for fools,
But that's the way I like it baby,
I don't wanna live for ever,
And don't forget the joker!

The Ace of Spades

 

[plastic penguin]

Lived like a true rocker. Died a man. Sang like a frog with laryingitis.

RIP Lem.

Respect to the man, warts and all.

 

[Blacksabbath25]

3 good songs ... killed by death ..... eat the rich ..... ace of spades

 

[unhalfbricking]

I've never owned a single Motorhead recording, but have total respect for Lemmy and his band as true originals and for keeping the hard rock flame alive for the last forty years whether it was in or out of fashion. Very sad news.

 

[Al ears]

I can only concur, and a true gent to most that actually met him. May he rest in peace.

I was at that gig. My friend had a backstage pass so we all bought an official programme and had them signed by the band.

Great live act on the 'Bomber' tour. The lighting rig was a bomber plane and the spotlights were on the propellers. They would start spinning and then the 'plane' would drop down on to the stage. Lemmy would climb in and fly over the stage while playing his bass guitar. Brilliant.

motorhead were the first live band that i see and it was in a small hall in cambridge back in the 1980s man they were loud

Never really involved with the band (just one gig in Paris as a atand in) but the lighting company with whom we shared premesis were their regular crew and conceived and built the bomber. Innovative use of pulsed lasers to emulate machine guns too, though sometimes not allowed by over zealous safety officers.

Never really knew him or the rest of the band though they were always 'around' when not touring.

RIP.

BTW. Lemmy was addicted to slot machines so never had any cash, hence his nickname.

Mr Rock and roll.

Lemmy when asked about his music - "Very basic music - loud, fast, city, raucous, arrogant, paranoid, speed-freak rock n roll. It will be so loud that if we move in next door to you, your lawn will die"

 

[TrevC]

The hugely talented John Martyn died a few years back and hardly got a mention. Hey ho.

I don't like his music so his talent is largely lost on me. He did do an awful cover of a Portishead song.
