One of those that stop you in your tracks. But 70? How did he get to be 70?

 

You want to knock that cycling on the head and get yourself on the Bensons and Jack Daniels Cath.

it's perfectly possible outside Scotland.

''He has changed his lifestyle – he’s down to a pack of fags a week, and has swapped from Jack and Coke to vodka and orange, apparently to help with his diabetes, – though his assistant wonders whether swapping from one 40% spirit topped with sugar to another 40% spirit topped with sugar is really going to help. “I like orange juice better,” he says. “So, Coca-Cola can fuck off.”

Lived fast and by the sounds of it, died fast, so fair fucks to him for giving life a good fucking go on his terms. 

 

 

That's the way he would have liked it. He didn't want to live for ever.

Maybe not such a big name but the death of The Specials drummer, John Bradbury has just been announced on the beeb.

...place is starting to feel like a Ghost Town

See the 'Random musical chat' thread.

 

Drummer's Union was on to it hours ago.

Scott Weiland a short while back, now Lemmy. Have never really listened to Motorhead but it's clear to anyone that has even a basic knowledge of rock/heavy bands that he was a legend. I read something years ago about a doctor being shocked at finding that his blood was some type of unique mix of normal blood and amphetamines and thought it was mental. Not sure if it was true or not, but from looking around for only a minute online it looks like it did leave some lasting damage to his blood (it's been said that it was his favourite drug.) So maybe it's a fair amount of luck that he even got to 70!

The guy who played Daniel Larusso in the original Karate Kid is 53.

 

It's completely fucking mad that he's over 50.

I fuckin loved Lemmy.

My wife texted me at the cricket about this yesterday.

I was sad, and also managed a laugh...

 

... when we were preparing for the birth of our first child, we were going through all those bollocky pre-natal classes.  You know, pre-labour massaging, natural/epidural debates etc.... One of the suggestions the nice educational mid-wife made was to bring in a "birth CD" to play in the labour ward to "calm" us both down.

 

My wife and I plumped for The Ace of Spades.

 

RIP Lemmy.

You were fucking ace, from the first time I saw you on The Young Ones, at 15.

Just saw this from there too :

 

And there are the stories from those who have encountered him: the member of the British rock band with an equal enthusiasm for chemicals who spent an afternoon nose-deep in powders with him at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in LA, playing Tetris – “I love it when I’ve been playing for hours … that’s when the swastikas start appearing,” Lemmy is reputed to have said.

 

 

Hahah!

One of the very few bassists who you could recognise instantly from the bass sound.

Fucking legend.

One of the greatest lyrics ever written, Dr Rock 

 

"Chin up, shoulders back, she's got a body like a Marshall Stack."

We are Motorhead and we play rock n' roll...

 

 

Legend.

In my local of 15 years tonight and I can honestly say I never heard Ace of spades once in all those years.

 

Five fucking times tonight.

[Guest Pistonbroke]

True legend of Rock, RIP.

In one of my locals there's a great jukey, whenever I'm in there on a busy Saturday night I always make sticking a quids worth of Overkill on.

[G Richards]

Not my sort of music especially, but I remember with fondness the first time I heard them, like others, on The Young Ones. Lots of volume, energy, and a certain raucous anarchy was a perfect fit for the programme. I remember talking about it in school the next day.

[Woo]

Wasn't a big fan of his, but this was great. RIP:
