Pretty cool speech by WWE’s Triple H eulogizing Lemmy Kilmister. It’s pretty well known that Triple H is a die-hard fan of Motorhead as the band Motorhead created three different theme songs for Triple H. Lemmy has always been an important part of WWE history. Yep, you hear Lemmy’s singing voice almost all the time on RAW and PPV shows whenever Triple H is on TV. Lemmy has always been important to the wrestling industry.

I’ve respected the hell out of Lemmy Kilmister. Why? Simply because the fact that he loved what he did musically. He has played with Motorhead for over 30 years. They have a total of 23 studio albums and they’ve toured a lot more than making records. The reason is they were more of a live band which is what they were pretty much. Now that Lemmy is gone, I don’t think Motorhead will continue on without him ’cause Lemmy is Motorhead.
Lemmy was one of the hardest working musicians ever. He never stopped what he did. Always playing shows and always touring heavily. Even if he wasn’t in good health, he would perform the shows anyways. It showed that he had a real passion for music and it wasn’t about the fame & money at all for him. I love Motorhead. They’ve always been one of my favorite bands. Thanks to Apple Music streaming, I got to listen to most of their records.
When not playing music, Lemmy had a huge collection of WWII and Nazi memorabilia which he had a huge passion of. This may seem pretty weird but Lemmy was also a big video gamer. He also loved to go to casinos and play those slot machines during his spare time.
Lemmy died of some form of aggressive cancer. He was diagnosed with it 2 days before his death… I would say he may have gotten it after years of heavy smoking and drinking over the years probably. Years of heavy smoking would do that to you… I’m so glad I don’t smoke at all.
Thanks for the badass music over the years, Lemmy.
Lemmy Kilmister was 70 years old.

People may want Lemmy Kilmister to take a break from music and relax or even retire from music but looks like he isn’t going to anytime soon. I’m feeling that Lemmy is gonna keep playing until he’s dead, ya know?
He maybe sick and not in the best of health but it seems like he doesn’t give a shit. The man just loves performing live and that’s what he lives for. The man is not gonna give it up and bad health isn’t stopping him.
That’s a true rocker right there and the man has balls. It shows he loves music and loves what he does.

Could the reason that Lemmy is having health problems lately is ’cause of years of smoking & drinking? Either that or he’s getting too worn out for doing so much work in music over the years? I’d say a little bit of both, ya know?
Lemmy’s been making studio albums and performing live full time with Motorhead since the 70’s and the work is finally getting to him. The workload will overwhelm you at some point. I understand your love for music and why some musicians can’t stop but you should take some time off, ya know?
I think it’s time for Lemmy to hang it up. Get some rest and relax for a while but he probably won’t, though. The man is a workhorse and music is his passion.
I do love Motorhead, though. They are one of my favorite bands and can’t wait for their next album this year.

Lemmy Kilmister celebrates his 69th birthday on this Christmas Eve. Yes, he is 69, you heard that right. The man is still rockin’ with Motorhead to this very day. He has never stopped doing what he loves to do, rock n’ rollin’! He’s been playing for Motorhead for many years and he’s still going with Motorhead. Motorhead still releases albums and they still tour full time. I’ve always respected Motorhead and Lemmy. I still need to get myself some Motorhead music from Itunes soon. I’ve listened to this band for a pretty long time, just never bought their albums much. I think I used to have their “Ace of Spades” album but don’t know what happened to it. Maybe somebody borrowed it and never brought it back or I got rid of it myself, not sure but I’ll get that album again. It’s a great album. Lemmy still performs on stage even if he’s not in the best of health right now. He’s just gonna keep rockin’ until he’s dead. Trust me on that. \m/

So today, I’ve been watching the “Lemmy” movie, that I picked up on DVD a few days ago. I never bought any Motorhead albums, but I’ve heard so many songs on the radio of course. After seeing this DVD, really makes me want to start collecting Motorhead albums.
This movie, “Lemmy”, is so special. It’s one of the best music documentaries I’ve ever seen. Once you see the film, you’ll understand Lemmy Kilmister as a musician and as a person, 100%. With Lemmy’s image, the way he dresses and looks, he maybe kind of scary and mean looking, but in reality, he’s actually one of the friendliest musicians you could ever meet. Plus, Lemmy Kilmister isn’t the type of guy that would live in a private mansion, hire people to take care of him around the house, or have bodyguards everywhere he goes. He also doesn’t travel around in limo’s.
The truth about Lemmy is that he doesn’t live in a very big house. He lives in Los Angeles currently. He lives alone. His house is actually a mess, he doesn’t clean. He cooks his own food as well. Things he likes to do other than music, he likes to collect things. He also plays video games, casino slot machines and watches cartoons. Yes, they actually showed footage of Lemmy watching cartoons several times in the documentary.
The life of Lemmy Kilmister, he is just a regular guy keeping things casual, like all of us. He’s a very rich guy, yes, but when you watch this movie, you’ll know that he doesn’t live his life that way. If he wants to go to a bar to have a few drinks, he’ll go by himself. If he wants to go shopping for music at record stores, he’ll go.
I respect Motorhead. Do you know how a lot of legendary bands like the Rolling Stones, Zeppelin, the Who, etc. Break up and have long hiatus’s in between albums? Not Motorhead. They released their debut album in 1975 and the band kept going to this day, all the way up to their new album, “The World Is Yours” that they just released not too long ago, with no breaks in between. Motorhead kept releasing a new album year after year.
This was a very nice documentary, and it showed some deep insight about Lemmy Kilmister that you would never know about. He’s willing to meet fans in public everywhere he goes, so he treats his fans good. There are too many bonus extras on the disc, there’s a lot to go through. There’s live concert footage of Motorhead and extra footage from the documentary that was taken out of the movie itself.
If you’re a fan of music, you don’t have to be a fan of Motorhead to see this movie. The point of this movie is that this film wants to introduce Lemmy and Motorhead to newer fans of today’s generation. If you’re a longtime Motorhead fan, anyway, then this is a must see for you definitely, but I suggest new fans to check it out too. It’s a shame that Motorhead haven’t been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame yet, when they deserve that more than any other band out there.
The documentary includes other interviews with other famous rock stars such as Dave Grohl, Ozzy, Steve Vai, Alice Cooper, Slash, Duff McKagan, etc. Billy Bob Thornton has an interview with Lemmy in the documentary ’cause Billy Bob is friends with Lemmy.
This was a very good DVD and worth the purchase. It’s kind of expensive, but I was just dying to see this movie so I bought it anyway, but it’s worth it. I don’t see Lemmy ever retiring Motorhead. He’ll keep the band going until the day he dies, I’m sure. Pick up this on DVD or Blu Ray soon. You’ll love it too. It’s inspiring.
