Met Lemmy one night in the old London Marquee club in Wardour Street in London before the Marquee club moved to Charing Cross road . I’m sure it was a Dumpys rusty nuts gig..cool band back in the day and my friend nudged me and said …looks who’s over there and we went straight over . Introduced ourselves and asked if we could buy him a drink ! What a gentleman lemmy was , so easy to talk to and as we had seen them at the Glasgow Apollo ( long gone ) we discussed that gig and he was very appreciative of our praise etc ! Bought him a drink and he thanked us and we gave him space as everyone one was staring and trying to get near ! Great guy , I was 20 at the time and I’m now 59 so it’s a great memory! RIP Lemmy Kilminster.
Lemmy just got it. He had an innate understanding of what it meant to be a rock star. No bullshit, no faking it. The man just lived his life, and fuck you if you don't like it.
He has no filters on saying how things are, no matter if it's not flattering even to himself, gotta respect that. One the most sane & down to earth famous people ever to live.
Lemmy could tell me that I'm boring to my face and I would definitely agree. I don't want to live the life that he's lived. But I can sit around with a friend and talk about him, and I can appreciate that he lived that life. He's absolutely correct, we need outrageous people. And I know my life is better because Lemmy and his music continues to be a part of it. RIP Mr. Kilmister, and thank you.
Deep down though Lem was a pretty normal bloke. Sure he did drugs, but so did all the rock stars back then. But you never heard about him bashing anyone, or stealing, or vandalising anything, there was never really bad press about him, unlike a lot of rock stars people look up to today.
@@thesausage351 uh rockstars didn’t steal because they had shit tons of money and had no reason to…if they were just an average drug addict on the street they would steal, kill and do scummy things like that
@@grungeisdead8998 Lemmy didn’t have shit tonnes of money mate, His wealth at time of his death was about $650k, which isn’t very much for someone who has toured pretty much non stop since the 80’s. He wasn’t poor, but compared to, say, Taylor Swift, or Bieber or any other modern pop star, or even Rolling Stones or McCartney or Starr, Lemmy was a bloody pauper.
Lemmy's cousin knocked on my door one morning in Caithness Scotland. He was looking for the hamlet of Killimster just 2 miles from my house. It was the ancestral home of Lemmy. Its where Lemmy's name is derived from. Lemmy knew nothing about this, according to his cousin, who'd driven 15 hours overnight from London to find the place. Trivial but true!
I’ve seen a video of Lemmy showing his family crest and it was Scottish. Why would someone make up this so called “bullshit”. What would they have to gain?
I got to meet Lemmy years ago after delivering amps and equipment at a gig in Liverpool (krazy house I think), I remember hearing this noise and looked up to see this guy on a crazy motorbike turn up. I knew it was Lemmy from the mole on his cheek and the hat He wore. He got off the bike and walked up to me and my crew, "alright boys he said are you here for the show?" The rest of Motorhead were already inside getting ready. He asked if we were staying for the show but sadly I told him we had to go. Stay he said "at least have a few drinks with us" Unfortunately we couldn't stay. I loved this guys music ever since I was a kid and although I never had a drink with the guys, I still was so happy to meet one of my Icons. I never asked for an autograph as I was just too starstruck. R.I.P Lemmy the earth still quakes to that rumbling bass.
Because Lemmy is just interesting to listen too his way of thinking his philosophy on everything. Tells it the way it is straightforward there's no BS with him they do have hit tunes but the corporate suits in the music world don't want recognize it. If it's not radio friendly they don't care but they know nothing about music with the crap they sign up all they do is sit in meetings or go to the golf clubs to sign deals to fill there pockets.
Not really. As much as I love the music. What he says is what most 14-16 year olds think, he just got lucky and found a great band. Most people who live by his words will die at a young age. The fact that he got famous/successful is his blessing. He get's paid for his purpose in life, which is having fun and making music. If you don't get paid to do that, you will most likely end up in a clinic or worse.
I'd hold my head up in his company,I might not have as many stories,but I've got at least a couple that would make the man smile....i was a fisherman for 20 years,a postman for 3😉 & a ton of other jobs that have given me some great yarns, & i ain't dead yet!
I am imagining older Lemmy and Ozzy sitting in a room listening to Sgt. Pepper's contemplating on what they would have destroyed in that room had it been the 80's :) Absolute legend talking about another absolute legend
One Heavenly Momento! Lemmy/God We are one in the same. We can binge, we do and we know how to handle it No sleep for months, it happens, kept awake with help from my Pals. We Rock & Roll Professionally we....... Are the Scene, Glasgow bout to be BBBIGGG. I made a wish and the stars fall, I've got stars in my eyes, Eddie! I was complimented by my Drummer Anthony during our first Jam, he said "you're like Van Halen!" I would say he and Jimi are of the same Blood, Clapton, Paige, Townshend, Entwhistle, John Paul Jones but none more important than Lemmy, Tony Iommi, Geezer Butler, Bill Ward and Ozzy Osbourne...... There is only one Ozzy! I'm making music, Designing it, getting out the watchmakers set, making Circuits my way since I can remember. I done it all fffit everything in. Family, Rock & Roll, Pals, the Scene. Always a party when I am the Scene, Kyle and the band is, Jim, Ryan, Matt Q, what a Night! Thursdays at Box! Sundays at Howling Wolf, Three Card Trick at Howling Wolf. Rigid Soul and Blue Milk Jim is the Man! Must share a Cigar with the Lads, Success! It is easy!
I remember having a conversation years ago with a fellow musician and she nailed it: musos talk about music, gear, the creative process, fantasies of getting somewhere, and some talk about drugs, whereas fans [many of these make their way into the industry as in other roles, including the media of course] talk about musicians, their behaviour, who they're going out with etc
Despite so much of that comradery he speaks of, few rock bands showed any loyalty to their bandmates. Queen and U2 are perhaps the best examples of bands that remained loyal to each other. But otherwise you would search a long time for that kind of comradery in rock.
AC/DC. Rolling Stones. Foo Fighters have had 3 drummers, one was fired, but had Taylor for 20+ years. Even Motorheads line up was pretty consistent with Lem, Mikkee and Phil for decades.
Smoked, lol. He drank a bottle of Jack a day, so much so he got sugar diabetes in his 60’s from the coke, so he drank vodka and orange after that. He did more acid and speed than anyone alive. He could have died at 60 and been kept alive by all the residual chemicals in his body. He was a one of a kind.
@@thesausage351 you can tell lemmy's lungs are cooked, he was a chain smoker most of his life... all the speed and drinking wrecked his heart, lemmy didn't get cheated that's for sure, his life was just like his music, fast and relentless.
@@prisonersforprofit but that was Lemmy though. He was dying of cancer and still went and played a gig he had booked, Lemmy’s life was cigs, drink and drugs for most of it and rock and roll for all of it, but he was still very smart, could be incredibly charming, and I’ve never heard someone say anything bad about him. People say he was racist because he had notsee memorabilia, but he also said why he had it, and he had many black girlfriends. I dunno if you’ve seen the section from MTV where he did an ask Lemmy mailbag, and he gave advice to a young black kid who was a metal fan and his father hated him for it, and also to a 14yo girl who was pregnant to an older man who deserted her, I think he actually personally replied to, or rang her. He honestly gave out great advice and you could see he was being incredibly genuine and honest with them. He really was a great all round man.
@@thesausage351 no doubt lemmy was smarter than your average rocker, and he came out against racism many times. lemmy was a class act, and he burned his candle at both ends.
This might sound dumb and straight out of society standards (=to be normal) but I feel like the moment when everybody talks about you (probably in majority bad mouthing you) that's the moment when you can tell wether you f**ed up or you did it.
Taking drugs to kill the pain that’s all it is it starts off as fun then goes wrong when you get addicted with ozzy it really helped him because drugs made him believe he had talent 😂
Stating the obvious. I thought Lemmy would have given a more intelligent answer. I liked the band as preformers, but cmon Lemmy, I thought you could have came up with a less condescending answer than that. RIP
Good to hear Lemmy. Wish he was still with us.

You know nothing about being a rockstar shut your mouth and go back to work
It was deeper than that, the man lived it without even trying. He epitomised rock and roll. He was truly one of a kind.
Hear hear!!!
He understood what it means to be human. Something thats rare today.
He has no filters on saying how things are, no matter if it's not flattering even to himself, gotta respect that. One the most sane & down to earth famous people ever to live.
down to earth di flat earth ⨳‿⋇
Sorry he’s gone. Wish he was still around. One of the few genuine people there was going.
What a lovely, honest bloke. Too few of them in the world.

"Bringing your kids on tour is the first sign of death." LOL
Lemmy always kept it real and he wasn't trying, he was just Lemmy. Miss him.
Lemmy WAS rock'n'roll. That's why everyone loved him.
Very true!
He always gave you what he was. He never pretended anything else. I don't think he could have.
Lemmy still more alive than most... although he's dead for a while now...
LEGEND!
Dude Lemmy was real as fuck. He knew exactly what he was day in and out. That seems genuinely rare doesn't it?
His name was Lemmy, He played Rock n Roll!!
"I told my son, 'don't use coke. Please don't use coke. Do speed, it's better! '" Lemmy. Words to live by. R.I.P Ian Frasier Kilmister.

Still got my 7" red vinyl single of Iron Fist, got it in Folkstone Market in 1982 along with a fantastic compilation album called "Live And Heavy"

Glad I saw these guys. Awesome . The real deal 💯
His words are so true .........................
A true legend. An honest man.
he is absolutly right
Lemmy was the definition of cool
Ozzy and Lemmy were good friends and had real respect for each other also Lemmy wrote a few songs for Ozzy ♠️♠️
One of the greatest mortal men to ever live. RIP you outrageous gent ❤

People wonder why he would roll his eyes and answer questions the way he did, but look at the kind of questions he was always asked 🙄
right on.
I thought he was going to live forever
Amen Lemmy.

Fucking rock star love him forever
one big regret in life, i never saw them do a show and I was rather late to getting into them even though i always loved ace of spades.
1:57 The bus would probably be covered in crayon and orange juice for a change .
Legend!
Plato , that triangles bloke & Lemmy - what lucky humans we are to have had such great thinkers
Lemmy is God
Blasphemous and silly.
Good ole Lemmy, he never looked back once …
Totally with Lemmy on this. Just be who you are. If people don't like it and talk about you then fuck em. See if I give any sort of a shit.
Nice Dudes really
“the weather”🤣
Mikkey Dee is a great drummer.
Yes, he was.
When was this filmed? Lemmy was one of a kind
He's right.
lemmy pretty lit up, mikkey dee seems straight. that wheeze by lemmy tho, he smoked for 59 years, how he got to 70... some pretty good genes.

he spoke like my grandmother before her prosthesis popped out
Well shit?...-I didnt know Lem spoke Franken'Reichian subtitles fluently?
Lemmy played with Hawkwind, went to Stonehenge took acid and slept in a van. He wasn't fake.
Endless Adolecence .
That’s what rock and roll IS, ya doofus
he called me boring, hey fawk you lemmy. But you are right, I am .
Who would win in a fight between Lemmy and God? Trick question. Lemmy is GOD!!!!!!!
Well there is family and business and you can’t muddy the 2 to be successful.
Mikkey is always trying to be cool in interviews. Lemmy is just genuine.
The coolest bad father ever....sad.
