Many are wondering who is Lemmy? What is Motorhead? Well.. I am not going to embark on an expository background. With that said, they are a heavy influence in what we know today as punk, thrash and everything metal. These guys came out a year before punk was around, before The Ramones. But they are NOT metal or heavy metal by any means. Like Black Sabbath, they influence with their music and made possible to lay the groundwork for metal to even exist.
It is sad to see someone as great as Lemmy pass away but in hindsight I wish a lot of people would have survived to be as old as Lemmy, age 70. I would love to have seen Chuck Schuldiner (Death) or Dimebag Darrell (Pantera), or even Cliff Burton (Metallica) reach that old in their careers. But as the aforementioned members, Lemmy will always live in our memories as the best Rock n Roll band ever.
As you can hear, it sounds like they picked up where Hendrix left off. Play this shit loooudd!
