There goes a legend.
There goes a legend.
He was diagnosed with cancer on the 26th and died on the 28th.
"[Lemmy] told Sounds in 1975 that Motörhead would be “the dirtiest rock’n’roll band in the world. If you moved in next door, your lawn would die.”
Lemmy: I stole that quote from Dr. Hook. In truth, if you lived next door to us in those days, you probably would’ve never stopped to see if your lawn was dead — you would’ve just moved out because of the fucking racket. Basically, I wanted to be the MC5, playing fast, loud rock’n’roll. We were never a metal band. Judas Priest and Black Sabbath were metal, but we were never like them.
Wasn't he a fucking Nazi?
Why do you collect Nazi memorabilia?
I think it’s historically important that you remember that shit, because otherwise it’ll get done to you again. I don’t get any thanks when I tell Americans to put 9/11 into perspective: We did that to Berlin every night for three years during World War II, and 19,000 British were killed before lunchtime on the first day of the Battle of the Somme. Napoleon, the Confederates, Hitler — it’s always the bad guys who have the best uniforms. The black hat beats the shit out of the white hat anytime: The Lone Ranger looked like a twat to me, with his little mask. I also collect Kinder Egg toys and skulls. I’ve got a dog and a pig skull and a couple of human ones. I’ve seen museums with less shit in them than I’ve got in my home.
Truthfully? I can't believe he made it as long as he did.
So he plasters his wall with Nazi paraphernelia to remind people that Nazis were bad?he talked about that:
Wow. Didn't see that one coming.
That's nuts. Being diagnosed with cancer, then dying two days later. I'm guessing he should have went in for that check up quite a while ago.
PS: Did I miss something? They said he was playing his favorite video game when he got the news..... What was his favorite video game?
