It has been four years since Lemmy Kilmster of Motörhead died. I was saddened by his passing. He lived to 70 and he was only 70 for four days. Unfortunately, I never got to see Motörhead live. I know I had plenty of opportunities. He was a real awesome musician. I like his work in Hawkwind too. He even was cool in The Rockin' Vickers. He had a supergroup called The Head Cat. I haven't checked them out.
Lemmy's passing was not too surprising. He had lived quite a wild lifestyle and he had cancer. I knew he'd live to 70 for some reason. I'm glad he did. I wonder what he would think of the state of rock music nowadays.
Believe it or not, that's actually a picture of me taken on my 21st birthday (05/27/2005). Sadly, I do not own that Motörhead shirt anymore. Those shirts are easy to find and I'll probably get another at some point in the near future. I've been a fan of Lemmy and Motörhead for over 14 years. He was not an influence as a musician, but I thought he was excellent.
R.I.P. Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister. It is too bad that I never got to see him live. He left plenty of music behind and people still listen to his music today.
