In memory of the late Lemmy Kilmister, frontman of MOTÖRHEAD, born on this day in 24th December, 1945. Lemmy was the vocalist, bassist, songwriter, founder and bandleader of an iconic band MOTÖRHEAD. He passed away on 28th December 2015, four days after his 70th birthday. A true original rocker may be gone, but his music and legacy will live on, and continue to inspire musicians for generations to come.
In 1972, Lemmy joined a space rock outfit called HAWKWIND. His distinctive style of bass playing, involving the use of chords rather than single notes preferred by most players, was a fundamental part of the HAWKWIND sound during his tenure. He also provided lead vocals on a number of songs including the band’s biggest UK chart single, “Silver Machine“ which reached No.3 in 1972.
Lemmy was fired from HAWKWIND in 1975. He went on to form a new band called BASTARD. When his manager informed him that a band by the name of BASTARD would never get a slot on “Top of the Pops“, Lemmy changed the band’s name to MOTÖRHEAD, the title of the last song he had written for HAWKWIND. Since then, MOTÖRHEAD became one of the most successful and influential bands in the Rock and Heavy Metal scene, although Lemmy was the only constant member in the changing line-up. The band’s success peaked in the 1980’s with a number of UK chart hits, including the classic single “Ace of Spades“ (still a crowd favourite today).
Lemmy has also worked with a number of other musicians throughout his career. He was brought in as a songwriter for OZZY OSBOURNE’s No More Tears album in 1991, providing lyrics for the tracks “Hellraiser,“ (which Motörhead later released) “Desire,“ “I Don’t Want To Change The World,“ and the massive hit “Mama I’m Coming Home“. Moreover, Lemmy has made a number of appearances in film and television.
