I just learned that singer/bassist/founder of Motorhead Kenny (Ian Kilmister) has passed away from cancer, aged 70.
Obviously Motorhead aren't everyone's cup of tea, but I'm sure for some like me, the band and Lemmy were icons of the 80s (and beyond).

That's so sad, I guess it was "Aces and Eights" for Lemmy

Sad news,I started listening to Lemmy in his early career with the band Hawkwind.They were innovators with their mega sound generators and electronic space rock.Still love to give their albums a good crank.
RIP Lemmy.

Hawkwind worked/sounded better with a chemical assist. ;) :o

Listen to 'Spirit of the Age' on youtube, one of their best. 'Hall of the Mountain Grill' too (album). I was totally into them in the late seventies, thought they 'were really on to something'. Was more that they and we were just 'on something'......

"Quark, Strangness, and Charm" is good Hawkwind Album.
I don't think Lemmy was with the band for that one.
Hawkwind were not everyone's cup of tea ::)

Blew my ears apart , man they were loud , oh also saw them as a support for Metallica at the Horden on the Justice for all tour. Great Band. Good stuff. ;D

My favourite album has always been. DoReMi FaSoLaTiDo. The song Lord of light still makes me feel like I am flying.lol. This band (first album 1970) is only for people who enjoy electro metal music,most of you would say it is noisy crap. ;D

chris squire, bassist and founding member of Yes failed to clear the last hurdle during the year, they are dropping away....the bassist for Japan also died from bowel cancer the year before, there was a man who could make a bass talk....Mick Karn. RIP the lot of them

Rock Stars.
If they make it passed 27: the next hurdle seems to be 70.
Kieth Richards will likely live to be 210yo.

Motorhead, Remember me I’m Motorhead...
RIP Lemmy Kilmister
Motorheads music shaped my teenage years (along with Hawkwind). They were the second band I ever went to see, sometime in 89 I think. I attended Oakwood Park College, Maidstone, on the same campus where Lemmy went to Art College, and rumours have it that the first Motorhead skull was drawn on the walls in a local student house.
Later I was lucky enough to photograph Motorhead live in concert twice, and had the pleasure to see them at both Brixton and Hammersmith; legendary. In 99 I had the pleasure of meeting Lemmy in the Barfly @ The Falcon prior to Sevendusts premier UK gig. We chatted about many things from Motorhead to the Goonies and much in between. We talked so much so that I almost missed photographing the opening number of Sevendusts set. Lemmy was a top bloke with a great sense of humour, and it was an honour to meet him.
My favourite story came on the back of the single Bomber; on tour Motorhead took a moving light truss shaped like a bomber that lowered over the band during the song. At the time it was the world’s larges moving lighting truss. The tour finally reached Germany, and half way through the song in Berlin everything stopped and Lemmy yells, “I bet you haven’t seen one of these forkers for a few years”. Classic.
I am saddened by his passing; but he will live on in our vinyl collections, through his contributions to, and influences on heavy metal and in our hearts. Not many others have achieved so much, worked so hard or stayed so true to their selves. We could all learn a lot from Lemmy Kilmister.

pretty sure lemmy started as a roadie for hawkwind then had something to do with their song MOTORHEAD but when he got busted for drugs while hawkwind were touring canada he got the axe.then he started motorhead and i guess heaps of dollars.

Lemmy got the sack from Hawkwind not because of getting busted he got ousted for the type of drug he got busted with. Apparently he went back to the UK and rooted all their wives while they were touring anyway :D

DoremiFasolLatido. Vocals,bass,six string.
Hall of the mountain grill. Vocals,bass,rhythm and lead.
