dear lemmy...

Lemmy Kilmister as an Agony Aunt? An unlikely scenario you might well think, but in 1994 a Canadian rock TV program persuaded Lemmy to cooperate for just that purpose and the widely perceived wild man of metal answered letters sent in by young viewers of the day. Bet the program makers thought they'd get some wild man metal answers to outrage the good folk in Canada. How wrong they were.
In what today might be described as one camera podcast footage, the noticeably younger looking Lemmy, (it was 20 years ago), sets about the thorny issues of teenage anxt with some very funny remarks and what might have surprised the recipients of the advice at the time, a genuine compassion to the problems that they lay before him. One of them a particularly delicate nature for a teenager is handled so well it would be hard pushed to see how anyone else could have advised anything more appropriate.
As the uploader said "the middle one (letter) was so sad and he was so lovely about it and so heartfeltly honest, genuine and sincere"
It's true, Lemmy has always been a man of the people.

not well lemmy

After yesterday's news on the death of Alan Mayer (Devo) we sure don't want to turn these posts into a procession of bad news but according to CherryBombed via UltimateGuitar via etc etc (you get the idea its the intervine again), Lemmy Kilmister underwent surgery last week to have a defibrillator fitted into his chest. This will help his heart beat normally but consequently Motorhead have now cancelled gigs in Austria and Milan because he's now suffered a hematoma, a condition that has caused blood clots to form "anywhere in his body".

This is not great news at all for the Motormeister. Doctors will no doubt want to monitor the situation and rely on complete rest and recuperation before he starts up again with any big effort like playing gigs. Whether the 'Ace of Spades' actually listens to any advice he's given is another thing entirely.
Just get well Lemmy.

motorhead box set

Lemmy Kilmister recently explained he went "bug nuts" when he knew the Motorhead Box Set was selling for $600 and advised all fans not to buy.
Which is just one reason why Lemmy is legend.
And here is 1 minute and 18 seconds of Lemmy with The Ramones.
Which is another.

On Christmas eve 1945 Mrs Kilmister gave birth to a boy.
He was a little Lemmy.
And that's when all the trouble started..

Here he is with his "day off" band The Head Cat playing 'Matchbox' live at The Cat Club in 2006.
