  1. I went to a Lemmy show in a small venue a couple years ago. My ears were ringing, but he kept telling the soundman to turn it up. Insane – but an awesome show.

    His recent song “You Might Have The Power, But That Don’t Give You The Right” was a message aimed right at Obama.

    Hawkwind’s 1973 live album Space Ritual, where Lemmy playing bass alongside drummer Simon King created a melodic yet heavy rhythm line that’s never been matched is in my top ten albums of ALL TIME. Love the album.

    RIP Lemmy
