Black Friday: Lemmy have it

It all started with The Rainmakers and The Motown Sect in the early ’60s. Then The Rockin’ Vickers and Sam Gopal. Following the breadcrumbs? Opal Butterfly, Hawkwind …

Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister has been living the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle for 40 years. With the exception of Hawkwind, the only band that really matters, of course, is Motörhead. In junior high I borrowed a cassette of Orgasmatron from a friend … and I think I literally pooped my pants … I just did it again typing the word “Orgasmatron.” The band’s self-titled 1977 debut and 1980’s Ace of Spades are where it’s at, and it goes without saying that Motörhead has influenced everyone … except God, because, well, you know …

And when I say Lemmy lives the rock ‘n’ roll lifestyle, he LIVES it. Rumor has it he’s bedded down some 2,000 women, and I think his idea of a midnight snack is a fifth of Jack and a pack of Marlboros. Well, all of the rumors and stories are going to be exposed in all their gory detail in next year’s Lemmy: The Movie. That’s Lemmy: The Movie. See for yourself. I just want to know how C.C. DeVille got in there.
