A controversial, weird, crazy old man and his legacy has passed away. Rest in peace.
CRITICAL ASSIST

I haven't heard of him until now, maybe if someone played some songs I would recognize them (I'm not really into that type of music) but he seemed like a cool dude from what I've heard.
R.I.P.
RIP. Never been a huge Motorhead fan (I feel more like this guy influenced many guys that influenced me) but yeah, a legend passed away.

This is prolly their most famous song; I'd be surprised if you never heard this one before:
I've def played some good HAWKEN listening to Motorhead in the past. It's particularly good for TF2 though.

What a shame, he had a really cool voice. :(
Yeah, it is a shame he was truly a rock and roll / heavy metal legend. He died 2 days after being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer. He pretty much lived the rock and roll lifestyle of the 70's and 80's.
He had so many influences on everyone in the rock and roll scene. Hell he even started as a roadie to the great Jimi Hendrix. It sucks when rock icons are dying off like flies. It makes you realize how fragile everything is. Cherish every moment as if it were your last.

50 years of sex, drugs, rock 'n roll: no problem.
Boarding the Turku-Stockholm cruise ship: instant cancer.
I don't know, dying a few days after his 70th birthday at home after living that life sounds pretty great to me, much better than going the slow cancer death route or actually dying off like flies - like mentioned, Hendrix or Cobain or Curtis, never even reaching 30, and that list could go on. So pretty good run for Lemmy. Better die 70 the man you used to be than 10 years later shitting yourself and not getting it up anymore.
That said, always liked Lemmy, never had much to do with Motörhead but I liked their approach with just three guys playing guitar, bass and drums and keeping the songs short and on point - unlike most metal which too often ends in too much solo masturbation.
