Lemmy turns 60

Lord Lemmy of Motorhead is 60

 

Lemmy turns 60 on Christmas Eve. If he worked in the public sector he'd now be able to retire. This is a short tribute to Britain's greatest

pensioner rocker:

 

  • When Lemmy soundchecks, the sound engineers always ask whether the DFA levels on the bass are OK. (You may not recognise this technical term immediately, as it in fact stands for "does fuck all", and has been a source of amusement to Motorhead's crew and band for years.)
  • After Lemmy collapsed on stage this year from dehydration, his management managed to get him to officially agree to start having ice in his Jack Daniels.
  • In his younger years, Lemmy once survived a two week amphetamine bender on two small fruit pies
    and some yoghurt.

 

Now that is a man.

Just watched the 2012 documentary on him.

A cracking 2hrs well worth a watch on youtube. What a guy he was,so down to earth

Best part of that doc was when he offered one of the guys in a group of 2 or three a Jack Daniels. He said yes and Lemmy opened a bottle and passed it to him. He then asked the other guys they too said yes so produced another couple of bottles an proceeded to open them and handed them a bottle each.

Up there with Keith Richards at the head of the table. A real Rock n Rolla

Some mental stories in his autobiography

 

Tell one of being a young teenager sneaking into a girls guide camp and spending the night with some girls and waking up to yelling of his name getting a beating of the camp leader. Only he was getting beaten with his own prosthetic arm
