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.
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.’ 😂
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.
I have seen Motorhead live a fair few times. All they were was an incredible hard working rocknroll band. Nothing more. And that's what made them great.
@@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 ♠️
Well i mean it was his own choices in life to drink and smoke hard hard , but he lived doing what he enjoyed and worked best for him and to make it to 70 considering , i think he had a pretty good run
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 🙄
@@AndreasHörnfeldtwould 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.
@@AndreasHörnfeldt 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 ?
Cancer killed Lemmy. No one should copy him in his addictions (which he never would’ve called them) but the man was superhuman, his endurance to intoxication is the stuff of legend. To suggest that drugs and alcohol killed him is kind of ridiculous, he lived to 70. Anti-drug messaging should be honest, otherwise it doesn’t sit right, people smell bullshit. Heroin won’t kill you right away, plenty of functional addicts, but it’ll take away everything you are and make you nothing but a consumer, and ruin your immune system. Fentanyl has made it more lethal though. Speed won’t kill you right away, get a bad batch and maybe, but it’ll screw up your heart health long-term. Alcohol won’t kill you right away, but get drunk with the wrong friends and they’ll pour it down your throat until you’re vomitting and need your stomach pumped, and you’ll be giving all your money to greedy companies and become belligerent and not nice to be around. Better off avoiding it all, especially if you’re vulnerable, but anyone in that scene will know plenty of people doing alright, plenty of people dying slowly, and plenty of people making a fatal error. The answer to ‘just say no’ is always ‘why’, and if the reason isn’t true, you’ve lost your audience. Risktakers will always take risks, we’ve just gotta be there for them when they realise they’ve lost control and need a way back, that’s how you save lives, not exaggerating.

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 was the king of personal choice. He even once said there are two types of music, music that you like and music that you don't like.
Lemmy our hero!!! 🔥🔥🔥🔥

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
Motorhead was the real deal.🤘
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.’ 😂
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
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.
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.
I have seen Motorhead live a fair few times. All they were was an incredible hard working rocknroll band. Nothing more. And that's what made them great.
Well said 👏
respect !
"I never heard so much about everyone having a hearing problem... what?"
speed king
Lemmy checked out at the right time. If he didn't like gen X, he'd have disgusted even more with gen Z.
Lemmy sounding like the Naure Boy...
Wooooo
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.
Well i mean it was his own choices in life to drink and smoke hard hard , but he lived doing what he enjoyed and worked best for him and to make it to 70 considering , i think he had a pretty good run
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
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 ?
And lived a great life , everyone dies when you get past 80 you are a useless weight on your family.
