In one of the documentaries (I think it was Live Fast, Die Old), after 40 years of touring one of the crew members said that Lemmy’s hearing was all but gone. ‘But he’ll still hear you if you offer him a drink.’ 😂
Great one. I've gone sober now, but he's so right about it, whatever's normal. And Mikkey is right about the party thing, if one is social about it, then it's always more tolerable. It's the loneliness and drinking that kills people.
The totally great thing about Lemmy is that he will just tell you how it is point blank. I wish I had made the effort to go see them live. I'm sure it was epic.
@@nealgrimes4382plus he always said what he gets up to is his own business and he would never tell anyone to do or not do anything and he expects the same respect ♠️
This "my favourite rockstar is a philosopher" thing is moronic. The best things Lemmy said, was in his songs. The rest is completely bollocks. Downplaying alcoholism and tinnitus, that's really clever 🙄
@@JonnyBladewould you have preferred it if he influenced his fans to take drugs and be a alcoholic, just the fact that he did play down the drugs and partying makes him a much better person than all the other so called rock stars who are promoting drug use ♠️♠️♠️
Lemmy never pitched his lifestyle as being the only way to live, just that it was his way to live and it worked for/made sense to him. He often said that what he did worked for him and probably wouldn’t for anyone else and to not view him as a role model or his vices as a blueprint, but you can’t stop some people from trying. And when you’re asked by interviewers for your opinions on something you either give them or you don’t. You can tow lines and omit certain feelings if you want, but why not just be honest and say how you feel? At least that way nobody can accuse you of bullshitting, which is the approach Lemmy always took. Don’t like it? You don’t have to, and you can go on living life your own way much like Lemmy did.
@@JonnyBlade He never downplayed it though , he wasn't encouraging anyone else to do what he did , he just said that was what he was used to and clearly enjoyed it , it didn't hurt anyone else so what's the big deal ?
I would Rather enjoy myself as much as i could and make it to 70 then be crippled miserable and linger on to 80 or 90 waiting and often wishing for death ... if it works for you and makes you feel good what's wrong with it ?
3:10 ''If you do what I do it might kill you... or what you do might probably kill me; like... bored to death'' SAVAGE
Lemmy a true rock and roll Star, lived fast and died far too young even at 70 , great interview and missed so much what a guy 😢
Lemmy our hero!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥
Motorhead was the real deal.🤘

I miss Lemmy

RIP LEMMM😘😘🔥🔥🔥
Brilliant! Loved this, and they are so right about the Gen Z
Gen z would have been under 5 years old at the time of this
More like gen x

Damn. I had seen them about twenty times. Motorhead and GWAR were the two bands that I never passed up when they rolled through town.
respect !
Lemmy sounding like the Naure Boy...
Wooooo
Well said 👏
Rock
Yep alcoholism is normal 😆...to each their own 😉
He says it's normal for him, not in general, he is an Alcoholic so for him it is.
@@nealgrimes4382plus he always said what he gets up to is his own business and he would never tell anyone to do or not do anything and he expects the same respect ♠️
And thats the line of business he chose. Obviously not suitable for a normal person.
You could see his lungs were in a bad way, I'm sure he had a least some emphysema at around this time.
Well, those are the only GFs he had. Strippers.
I will simply never understand why anybody would take any advice from these guys. Being honest has never ment being right.
so are you a pうssy?

Yeah and it killed you at 70 Lemmy
My mum lived cleanly, and died at 66, cancer is in her side of the family. Some medics put a lot of store in genetics regarding life outcomes.
He seemed pretty content with that

And lived a great life , everyone dies when you get past 80 you are a useless weight on your family.
