I met Lemmy after a concert in 2000, he was walking through the crown and I was face to face with him and I extended my hand for a handshake and he looked at my hand for a second, put his arms around me, gave me a big hug and said in my ear, "Handshakes mean nothing!"
Not a fan of metal but I did see an interview with Lemmy years ago and he came across as Intelligent, articulate and above all a decent caring person. Not what you'd expect at first glance...
That's really decent of you to acknowledge the guy despite not liking the music. I first saw them live in Edinburgh in 1982 and thought they were and still are awesome ! Thank you very much for your comment!
I met Lemmy in Sydney some years ago when I went to see Motorhead as a birthday gift with my girlfriend. He was a really down to earth bloke,very witty and had a shitload of charisma. RIP legend you're dearly missed.
I was a Motorhead fan from '78 and met Lemmy many times over the years. He was great. Once I was in a pub before a Motorhead gig, talking to some friends, when they stopped listening and their eyes popped-out of their heads. I turned around and Lemmy was stood there. He held his hand out and said "Alright Dave?". I smiled, shook his hand and said "Lem, good to see you, how's it going?". "Ah, you know. Mustn't grumble" he grumbled, and walked off looking for a gambling machine. I turned back to my friends and they were like "Holy shit, you know Lemmy!". I'd never felt so cool.
AS A MUSICIAN AND A LEAD SINGER FROM A PUNK BAND FROM 1980'S, I TRY TO STAY OUT OF THE SPOTLIGHT, AND NOT ACT LIKE A MOVIE OR ROCK STAR WITH A LOUD ATTITUDE,.......MARIUS(PUNK RULES).
That reminded me of an old, old joke. "Alright Dave" ......... "Fuck off Lem can't you see i'm busy" (In the joke I heard it was a guy who asked Sinatra to recognise him in a nightclub)
@@alanserjeant4947 Yeah, the true story is Don Rickles asked Frank to stop by his table and say hi - it would really impress Rickles' new girlfriend - so Frank stopped and said hello and Rickles said "Frank, what the hell. Can't you see I'm eating here!?"
Met Lemmy backstage at Manchester Apollo in 1979 On the overkill tour when I was 14, Lem, Phil and Fast Eddie all autographed a pound note for me. Pound notes, those where the days.
I saw Motörhead on the same tour and at the same tender age of 14. I remember him saying “this song will grow on you - like cancer”. Very sharp, very intelligent, shame that era has passed.
Been a fan for more years than I care to remember now,of all the albums,Another perfect day remains my favourite. An intelligent erudite man,well read and with thoughtful lyrics to his songs. RIP sir.
@crocsmart5115. That album is an odd one to say the least, I think it's a great album and I listen to it often. Lemmy seemed to think people didn't like it and they rarely played songs off it live.
I took my new wife to see Motörhead at the state theater in Kzoo Mich. in 1993. She had never been to a concert before. Afterward I told her you don’t need to go to anymore shows, you just saw the best. Really broke her in right.
I was lucky enough to meet him when he was playing with Hawkwind. I did an interview for my university radio station during the Space Ritual Tour and as he was the new guy in the band, he was nominated to deal with me. He even shared a bottle of wine with me. One of my top memories.
Saw him perform at a concert just three months before his passing and it was so very obvious he was ill and wouldn't be with us for much longer. But there he was, doing what he loved, putting on a show for his fans the best that he could. It had to be difficult for him, I know I couldn't have done it. RIP Lemmy, you were one of a kind!
Had the honour of meeting Lemmy a few times in the late seventies when Motorhead were doing gigs in colleges, pubs and clubs. We even shared a few pints now and again, mostly backstage. A snort and couple of bottles of Special Brew were his favourite tipple before going on stage.
i met lemmy in 78. i'd never heard of motorhead but was a fan of hawkwind, especially the silver machine single (which he was the vocalist on). the gig was announced in the local paper and my dad pointed the article out to me... we peddled up to the hamilton club in birkenhead and heard music coming from it. we banged like mad on the side door and eventually it opened. we cheekily exclaimed that we wanna meet lemmy to the guy (roadie) who told us to stay there whilst the band continued soundchecking. about 30 mins later the door opened again, the guy said "yeah they're still here!"..a minute later out popped lemmy and phil taylor. phil taylor was holding a bar tray with 3 bottles of coke-a-cola on it.. he had great amusement saying want some coke kids!! we were all about 13 and didn't get the "joke" for about 3 more years.. haha.. lemmy gave us each a big motorhead skull poster and signed them (i still have mine!) . phil too.. eddie didn't want to know.. we chatted for about 10 minutes and then they went back inside. we were dumbstruck. that was it, i was an immediate fan.. bought the "motorhead" single from skellies and then caught them properly a year later in the liverpool empire on the overkill tour.. faaaaaantastic gig
In an interview, Lemmy was asked, ''what is the most important thing?'' He answered, ''to really mean it.'' That's the story of the man right there - no matter what he did, he really meant it.
3 times witness Motörhead incredible performance. Definitely the most influential band in history. No bass players in the world could ever touch Lems style or talent. It is true…Lemmy is GOD
I saw Motörhead live in 2011, during Ace of Spades he sang the lines, "Thats the way I like it baby, I don't want to live forever. But it looks like I'm going to!" 4 and a half years later, I'm watching Lemmy's funeral. Rest in pieces, big guy.
I met and spoke with the legend twice in the late nineties at ozz fest. At that venue they had the merch booths next to the fenced in lot where the tour busses and equipment trucks were parked. What I was checking out was a booth that was raffling off one of blades 68 chargers and they had one of the stunt cars on display. I look up and see Lemmy outside his bus so I hollered his name and waved, to my surprise he walked over to the fence and started a conversation with me. We spoke of the pro baseball teams chances of going to the world series, they were in first place at the time and if I ever went to any of the clubs that he played at back in the 80's that were wild places and now no longer existed, one story of a blonde bartender with amazing oral skills that was the only reason he played at that club, this went on for about 15 minutes till some one called him away.
The second time was a few years later at the next ozzfest, motorhead wasn't originally on the tour but filled in when one of the bands dropped out. Same as the last time checking out a booth with some skull rings, necklaces and ear rings for sale, can't have too much skull jewelry now can we, when I spotted him smoking next to one of the trucks, I yelled out his name and waved and he walked over to the fence and the first thing he said was do you come to every ozzfest, blew my mind he remembered me from a few years previously. Later that day when he played he gave one of the best shows ever, he was playing the second stage and when his time was up nobody left we all just kept yelling more so they came back out and played some more, then some guys on the side of the staged called him over , he spoke to them then walked up to the Mike to tell us the suits aren't happy that they were still playing and they would have to stop, he goes you know what fuck them let's rock and roll and launched into more songs. They literally cut the power after a few more songs to get them to stop. The sad thing is there is no more Lemmy and no more ozzfests, glad I am old enough to have seen the greats live and in there prime the kids today will never understand what they are going to miss.
I knew him between hawkwind and motorhead. He could always be found at Henackies in the portobello rd on Saturday lunchtimes and at the roundhouse on Sunday evening's. He was an amphetamine sulphate dealer. Nice man , no bullshit.
Huge fan of Lemmy...but I can't really say that I much care for Motorhead. It was his years with Hawkwind where his genius was brightest. And, sure, he was very bitter about how Dave Brock literally abandoned him on that infamous North American tour, but Brock did that to everyone who played with Hawkwind. Not that Lemmy was psychotic like Calvert, but the story of how Hawkwind ditched the sword-wielding, lunatic Calvert is both hilarious and very enlightening. And sad, of course. Despite everything, Lemmy was always what we used to call "a good egg." A kind, relatable, funny bloke.
Lemmy was from my hometown of stoke on Trent England. Were trying to get a statue in the town of his birth burslem . Next one will be for slash as hes stoke on Trent born .. lemmy actually passed away on my birthday 28 th December or so im led to believe
Still have Lemmys birthday poker chip, cake plate and napkin from his last bday party at the whisky. …I did the full live concert video for his last birthday and concert video for his memorial at the Whisky Friday April 19th, 2024 his ashes will be enshrined as well as the unveiling of Motörhead Whiskey at the Rainbow Bar and Grill in West Hollywood
If anyone feels there is a more rock'n'roll musician than Lemmy along with Keith Richards and Iggy Pop, not counting the original fifties rock'n'roll legends- I just want to inform you - you are wrong.
I love Lemmy. Big fan. But, the reality is if you live your life like this you will end up on welfare or homeless. Lemmy clearly reminds of one of my uncles and a cousin of mine. I think this is what fascinates me about him. They were both a step above being bums and homeless. Whatever, I guess it's cool but always remember Lemmy is/was a rock star. Not a regular person. If his music wasn't accepted he likely would be destitute.
Inciteful program, i do find the AI speech a bit off-putting. My first ever concert was 8th Nov 1980 at Deeside Leisure Centre, Chester Rd West, Queensferry, Flintshire, CH5 1SA where Motorhead allegedly broke the indoor record for loudest ever concert, my love for them has stayed with me all these years.
The UFO YT video of a few years ago had Lemmy so shit-faced, he was lying on his back playing bass on stage during their performance. I lost all respect for this guy.

Motorhead is Rock n' Roll, not Metal.
He was fucken smart.no dissing him... THEY PLAY ROCK AND FUCKEN ROLL......
That's really decent of you to acknowledge the guy despite not liking the music.
I first saw them live in Edinburgh in 1982 and thought they were and still are awesome !
Thank you very much for your comment!
Moorhead played at Penrith Leagues Club in the underground club they were so loud the whole club could here it and it was a big club.
He plays rock and roll lol, he tells you at the start of every gig so you don't forget ♠️

I only had one opportunity to see MOTORHEAD live. It was a mind-blowing experience! Especially being at such a small venue. Awesome!
Lemmy, just so F*****g Awesome

Thank you very much Philadelphia USA 🇺🇸 Nostrovia 🎉🎉🎉
The man is a Legend and will never be forgotten
PHENOMENAL video on Lemmy. Such a God amongst mortals. Been a fan for well over 40 years. Thank you for this and big ups from Southern California
Thank you so much it means the world to me 🥰

R.I.P.Lemmy,my Idol since 1981🤘🎸🤘❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️❣️
His death was horrific.
Watch Lemmy the documentary - better times.
Great soul
Rip Lemmy

Lemmy was a pessimistic visionary, a great poet, but above all a very human person who understood the deep meaning of life.
One of the best bands in the world and my favourite,
Miss him saw motorhead in Portsmouth 1996 thankyou for helping me sort my situation out

Was a roadie for Lemmy with the Rocking Vickers in 1965. Cheers
Wow that must have been awesome! Thanks for sharing 😁👍
I was/am a huge Hawkwind and Motorhead fan, met Lem three times at The Rainbow.
Lemmy is a hero and a great ambassador for Metal. R.I.P.
Interesting.Lots of these pictures I hadn't seen before
J ai vu lemmy en concert plusieurs fois, respect pour lui.repose en paix
The greatest metal music man ever😮😮😮have all his music recordings
No mention of his time working as a roadie for Hendrix, the rest is top drawer ✨
I knew him between hawkwind and motorhead. He could always be found at Henackies in the portobello rd on Saturday lunchtimes and at the roundhouse on Sunday evening's. He was an amphetamine sulphate dealer. Nice man , no bullshit.
I saw Motorhead about 2 years before Lemmy's death. RIP Lemmy
Hotpoint? Lemmy made my fridge?!? He is the man 🤟
Definitely a one off r.i.p great one
Lemmy seemed the type of guy you wouldn't want to piss off very witty bloke god rest you and every other Rocester that are absent
LEMMY IS NOT DEAD 💀 HE IS JUST PLAYING A BIGGER FESTIVAL THAN THIS PLANE OF EXISTENCE CAN HOLD
Metal rules and so did Lemmy!!
Lemmy believed he played rock'n'roll.
@@slimedogcorrect
Metal my arse
Lemmy was the man 🤟
Not heavy metal, he hated that term. We are Motörhead and we play rock n roll. Get it ‘roon ye ya rocket.
Greatest bad ass in rock music forever…
RIP Look Lemmy he played rock and roll
Just found out today.. Kelly Johnson from girlsschool died in 2007😳?he and Kell were close,
No Sleep 'til Hammersmith, never looked back.
He lived! Travel well Lemmy!

Lemmy and Motörhead played rock n’ roll.
Rock On Lemm'y!!!!!
Love you Lemmi
They were the front band for Skrewdriver, he did Ian Stewarts euolgy and got blacklistid.
A man with HONOR.
I didn't realise Lemmy actually made it to 70!! Not bad all things considered.....
Rock on Lemmy
He was so cute when he was young
Rock hard

The word Legend is misused.Lemmy was a legend.He influenced a lot of people,myself included.His whole persona exuded rock and roll.Much missed .

A good friend of mine got to meet Lemmy, said he was a real gentleman. RIP Lemmy

Seen motorhead 82/83
Lemmy is missed
You missed Reanimator. Pretty sure Lemmy was in that movie.
Motorhead 😮❤
🤟🤠💥🌟🌀👍
I went to see Motorhead in their last years. They refuse to play the Game or Evolution
Airheads! 🤘👽👽👽
👍👍♥️
Not that Lemmy gives a damn what people think
irirA modern god. The band apparently left no nest egg of money, becase they spent all of their profits on drugs, booze and women. Way to go. Salute!
I am big fan he beter ozzy oldet git life

He didn't take drugs, we all know what that means.
Is this Dimebag Darryl
Was at the last live performance in 15', Emos East in Austin, TX. Saxon opened.
Gowd should take Lemmi Kravitz instead.
Through his music Lemmy will live forever. Though I still can't stand these AI narrators.
Fast Eddie Clark
Lemmy was never interested in motorcycles...
Kind of looks like Glen Frey
Did speed all his life
Certainly did ' never needle's though
Hehe horses
And jailbait has aged like milk not wine. Still love it
You know you're beloved when you don't have to hide your fascination with Nazis and the Confederate army.
Only 13 minutes long?
Not even going to bother.
Can you just stop with the crappy AI voice. Literally unwatchable
AI fck it
ai generated script garbage
wow !!!
love the guy, but knew almost nothing about him.
nor did I realize how much Motorhead
actually churned out..!!!
and ha!
I thought he was gay.
The UFO YT video of a few years ago had Lemmy so shit-faced, he was lying on his back playing bass on stage during their performance. I lost all respect for this guy.
