People like Lemmy are important. They act as a deputy in that they lead the life that they themselves do not dare to lead. Someone like Lemmy must always be there, because if it’s there, you can talk about him, raving about him and experience his concerts. And then go for one song or one evening a little bit of his wildness, his Krass- and otherness and his freedom over to us employees and hire payers. Now this guy died shortly after his 70th birthday, he is no longer there, and we are alone.
There are not many of his shock. Ian Fraser Kilmister was born on Christmas Eve of 1945, the son of a field chaplain of the Royal Navy and a librarian at the British Stoke-on-Trent. This is not a beautiful city, but luckily there was the rock ‘n’ roll, who made everything colorful. Kilmister heard Eddie Cochran and Little Richard, he has the Beatles never seen live, and as a tour-mate he got Jimi Hendrix drugs. He always had to buy what he Hendrix then three gave a package of ten Pills, Kilmister told in the documentary “Lemmy”. As a “brain bomb from the most famous laboratories of Western Chemistry”, he described what he swallowed there.
At the time of the space rock band Hawkwind, to which he joined in 1971 and with whom he 1973 Hit “Silver Machine” had, he could remember only fragmentary because even. What is certain, however, that at the time he wrote his nickname: “Lend me a quid ’til Friday,” he reportedly said to his manager frequently, “Lend me an advance to Friday”, and if a bene Beltermann from Stoke-on Trent with a cigarette between his lips, “Lend me” mutters, it sounds like “Lemmy” on.
Motörhead he founded in 1975, the band’s name was the title of one written by him Hawkwind-B-side was , Motörhead was a revenge project be so, because at Hawkwind they had thrown him out because of his drug escapades, and now he wanted to show it to them. With Motörhead what he wanted to give the world on his nose, he was noisy and dirty sound, hard and fast, and all of that directly and succeeded perfectly. Motörhead are considered the founding fathers of heavy metal in general and of speed metal in particular – which Kilmister would not hear; he was playing rock ‘n’ roll, he said. Motörhead’s influence is enormous, Metallica as if there were not without Motörhead, and you have only time for the pieces “Overkill” and “Ace Of Spades”, then you know how the word speed must be spelled out.
The wonderful thing about Motörhead was now that one eventually came out in their concerts from the state in which you noticed was the music as noise. Kilmister was on stage and had the stand of the microphone set so that it looks like hung from a gallows in the face. Shouted sounds, not words, because grunted a resentment and strife from the bowels, and it could be that in Lemmy’s neck had no vocal cords, but wet ships ropes. His bass shouted about how to stop crying when you get beaten by long fingernails for 30 years. Soon you felt in the midst of this infernal madness actually recovered, the noise is presented like a warm blanket on the soul. They stood there smiling and with half-closed eyelids, and it was like living under water. Time and space no longer mattered. Motörhead was redemption.
Your singer and bass player, who used a rather thorny appearance and so dark three looked as if he had just messed up the job interview with “Jack Daniel’s” in Tennessee, in reality, was a fine fellow and philanthropist , A beauty seekers. The man wrote in Job songs like “Orgasmatron”, heard at home in his apartment in Hollywood but rather Bach. And during the seven months he spent every year on tour, he always had a full e-reader with you. There’s a great interview in which he raves about the children’s book “Winnie the Pooh”. Lemmy was as a person perhaps even more important because as a musician. Bela B. of the band The doctors compared him in his preface to Lemmy’s autobiography with Johnny Cash, Elvis and Frank Sinatra: “. Lemmy is the personified conscience of rock ‘n’ roll on Lemmy can be relied upon.”
Recently he was doing not so good, but also not as bad as it could go with booze and drugs someone after decades. Lemmy had heart problems, diabetes and much more. They chuckled when he said that he had switched the health sake of whiskey on vodka. He did one at the same time but also very sorry. Then at Christmas he got the cancer diagnosis. Two days later he was dead.
Because of people like Lemmy hear music, because of such people one can not let go of the music, because such people teach one that in music not only killed Listen goes, it’s about feeling and experience. He walked us through hell, cleaned our lives; he sandblasted the world with noise. “We Are Motörhead and we play rock ‘n’ roll,” was the opening formula of each concert. The only thing that could stop him from making music, was death, he once said.
Rock ‘n’ Roll is dead, the world is now shut, and silence is cruel. Who Lemmy wants to do a favor, should the live album “No Sleep ‘Til Hammersmith” hang from 1981 and send at “Bomber” a salute to the heavens. Who itself wants to do a favor, then just close your eyes for a moment and smiles
