And one by one, actuall rock is slowly dying off.
RIP Lemmy, I spoke to him when he came to my city to play. It was an awesome concert and I worked with the roadies in setting up the stage and everything, and after the concert they invited us all backstage for dinner and we ended up eating, drinking and laughing our assess off.
He will be missed.

Holy s#!~. Please change the title of this thread quick. I thought something happened to Lemmy!
No, sadly, the thread title is accurate. :(
Edit: And (former) Motorhead drummer Phil Taylor just died back in November.

Boooooooo!
Heh... Forgive me my little joke, but Lemmy always helped me cheer up when going through difficult times, so it's only fitting he does so one more time. Motorhead certainly wasn't made to make anyone feel sad.
Seriously, though...
I had no internet for the past couple weeks, since I was travelling. My phone was broken so I couldn't use it either. It was my sister who gave me these sad news. I was devastated at the moment. One more of my idols was gone... Not since Ronnie James Dio I had felt like rock n' roll had suffered such a terrible loss.
I just found this thread... So I'm here to leave my condolences and thanks to the man whose songs mean so much to me.
Motorhead, along with many other awesome rock bands really helped me through my teenage years... Sure, I was a socially awkward kid with very few friends, but when I went to their concerts and listened to their songs, I couldn't help but get hyped and feel like I was The King of the World! No anxiety left, only excitement!
I know it sounds cheesy, but that's honestly how I felt. Lemmy's iconic voice and heavy bass have always been and will surely always be a big part of my self. Hell! I met my first serious girlfriend on a Motorhead concert!
Lemmy may be gone, but his legacy will remain. His songs still wake me up in the morning (Literally. Ace of Spades is my alarm tone), carry me through long trips and help me recover from sadness.
Thank you, Lemmy. For all you've done for me and so many others. You can't hear me anymore, but I'll hear your voice (and bass) again and again! It was chance that made me choose your name as my tag, but I'm happy to pay this little insignificant homage to you.
R.I.P, Lemmy. Thank you for everything.
