Motorhead were the biggest thing musically for me from 79 until I moved on after Iron Fist. I saw them a bunch of times and have a few of my own Lemmy anecdotes. But...
Glastonbury 2015
I know Lemmy is ill and near 70, but now he's like a punch-drunk boxer who won't quit. He can't move, his hands shake, all with unconvincing bravado.
What has happened to the once mighty Motorhead? A dreadful drummer with a sloppy guitarist (who talks over Lemmy between songs FFS). For some reason they drop a half beat during every verse in Metropolis, and for the final song Overkill Lemmy sings and plays Ace Of Spades - and the sad thing is he can't work out what's wrong. Look at his face.
Lemmy - step down at the end of the year, your position in R'n'R history is secure.
