Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll meet Heavy Metal.Motörhead was founded in the middle of The '70s by bassist/vocalist Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister, after being fired from Hawkwind for, in Lemmy's words, "doing the wrong kind of drugs." Many members, with only Lemmy remaining, came and went. Along with Judas Priest, they kickstarted the New Wave of British Heavy Metal at the end of The '70s. Despite being called "the most punk band of the Heavy Metal scene", Lemmy preferred to call the music of his band by the simple name of "Rock and Roll."Lemmy died at the age of 70 on December 28, 2015 after a short battle with prostate cancer. A day later, it was confirmed that the band had disbanded, with their final lineup consisting of: Lemmy - bass, lead vocals Phil Campbell - guitars, backing vocals Mikkey Dee - drumsTheir past formations had the following members: Lucas Fox - drums (1975) Larry Wallis - guitars, backing vocals (1975-1976) Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor - drums (1975-1984, 1987-1992) (classic lineup) "Fast" Eddie Clarke - guitars, backing vocals (1976-1982) (classic lineup) Brian "Robbo" Robertson - guitars, backing vocals (1982-1984) Pete "Frank" Gill - drums (1984-1987) Mick "Würzel" Burston - guitars, backing vocals (1984-1995) Tommy Aldridge - drums (1992) Matt Sorum - drums (live, 2009) | |

Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_16e94b0a | comment |
Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll: Lemmy slept with at least 1,200 women (some accounts claim over 2,000), he was notorious for his love of speed and booze, and he kicked ass around the world with Motörhead for over 35 years. Really, only Nikki Sixx of Mötley Crüe could possibly represent this trope better than Lemmy since, well, Nikki can boast that he actually died from an overdose and came back a few minutes later. | |

End of an Age | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_1bc2e445 | comment |
End of an Age: Lemmy's passing in December 2015 seemed to kickstart a "twilight of the rock gods", as two weeks later, David Bowie died in January 2016, followed by notable rockers like Glenn Frey, Paul Kantner, and Prince later that year. And then, 2017 saw the deaths of Chuck Berry, Chris Cornell, Chester Bennington and Tom Petty, raising deep concern for fans and musicians alike about an apparent lack of a "next generation" of rock music compared to previous eras. | |

Eat the Rich: The song "Eat the Rich" was written as the title track for the Brit Com film of the same name about eating the rich and also featured Lemmy in a supporting role. However, the song's lyrics are actually a thinly veiled reference to a certain sex act. | |

Ax-Crazy: "Red Raw" is about a murderous individual prowling in the night, looking for someone to kill. One verse ("Monster in the gaslight, shivers in the cold, looking for a bad girl") gives an impression that the song is about Jack the Ripper. | |

Older Than They Look | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_2f36d97 | comment |
Older Than They Look: Lemmy lived to be 70 years old but still looked pretty damn good, appearing to be in his mid-40's to early 50's. This is amazing considering the fact that he was an alcoholic and smoker for so many years; he was blessed considering that what he did has been proven to make people look older than they are. Lemmy liked to joke that he drank so much that his body was being preserved in an alcohol solution, which is why he didn't look as old as he was. Toward the very end of his life, this started to not be the case; many people noted that when he attended his last birthday party at The Rainbow, he looked very thin and exhausted. It was also the only year he didn't join the tribute band onstage for a song or two. | |

Off on a Technicality | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_34f590c9 | comment |
Off on a Technicality: In 1975, Canadian police arrested Lemmy at the Detroit/Windsor border crossing on suspicion of cocaine possession. As it turned out, what he was actually carrying was meth, which was not illegal in Canada at the time, and he was released without charge (though his brief incarceration lead to his being fired from Hawkwind). | |

Local Hangout: When not on tour, Lemmy could often be found at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood, drinking a Jack & Coke and playing the video poker machine at the bar. He stopped doing this after giving up drinking due to health issues. The owner of the place witnessed his last moments as the poker machine was brought to Lemmy's place. | |

"Sesame Street" Cred: A re-recorded version of "You Better Run" was featured in The Spongebob Squarepants Movie and included on its soundtrack as "You Better Swim." Despite having sanitized lyrics, the actual sound of the instruments is actually heavier than the original recording, which was done at the request of the producers, including series creator Stephen Hillenburg (who was a longtime fan of the band). | |

Lead Bassist | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_6788e74a | comment |
Lead Bassist: Lemmy was equal parts the first three types. Along with being the vocalist and the iconic face of the band, he is one of the most influential bassists in metal; his distinctly fuzzy sound sometimes confused for rhythm guitar is integral to the heavy rock feel of Motorhead's songs and became majorly influential on bass playing in heavier metal genres. | |

Mistaken for Racist | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_796bffea | comment |
Mistaken for Racist: Lemmy was a collector of Nazi memorabilia, and had a very large collection. This has led some pundits to accuse him of being a Nazi sympathizer, but Lemmy denied this. He actually considered himself an anarchist who was "anti-fascism, communism, any extreme" and claimed that "government causes more problems than it solves", and he collected Nazi memorabilia because they had the coolest-looking stuff. | |

The Alcoholic | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_7eebe99c | comment |
The Alcoholic: Lemmy admitted he was an alcoholic, claiming to have consumed a bottle of Jack Daniel's on a daily basis since the late '70s, but didn't care because it didn't turn him into an asshole. He was also known to say that he couldn't quit drinking because "My insides are in an alcohol solution, and without it, they'll die." He did finally cut back on his alcohol consumption after a serious health scare in 2013; he went from drinking a fifth of Jack every day to screwdrivers (vodka & orange juice). Typically, when his manager asked him why he was drinking screwdrivers now, Lemmy replied, "Orange juice is good for you." | |

Made of Iron | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_9d17b859 | comment |
Made of Iron: Lemmy himself. Even in his mid-60s, he drank at least one bottle of Jack Daniel's every day (and did this for at least 35 years), he loathed vegetables and lived on a diet of mostly meat and cheese, he was a smoker since he was 11 years old, and he also did copious amounts of drugs (mainly speed). Despite all this his liver, lungs, and kidneys were fine and he maintained a touring schedule that would exhaust men half his age. Dented Iron: His old age and bad habits eventually caught up with him: he had Type 2 diabetes and had to get a pacemaker in 2013, after his irregular heartbeat forced him to cancel shows. In October 2013, he admitted to quitting smoking and drinking a fifth of Jack daily (he switched to screwdrivers). In 2015, he was forced to cancel several tour dates after a lung infection resulted in difficulty breathing and prevented him from singing, and sadly he passed away at the end of the year. | |

Loudness War | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_a6254a7a | comment |
Loudness War: Motörhead has been called "the loudest band in the world", and has been clocked in excess of 140 decibels, a sound level roughly equivalent to that of a jet engine or the Space Shuttle. Despite this, many of their albums were mastered fairly quietly, although towards the end of their career they began to dip into this a bit. | |

Lighter and Softer: "I Got Mine" (still heavy but more melodic than usual), "Whorehouse Blues" (acoustic blues) and "1916" (probably their softest song in terms of sound, but easily one of the heaviest when it comes to subject matter). "God Was Never On Your Side" (acoustic verses and a heavy chorus) is this too. | |

Start My Own: Motörhead was born when Hawkwind kicked Lemmy out and he decided to start his own band. | |

Long-Runner Line-up | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_e115dd80 | comment |
Long-Runner Line-up: Type 2. Kind of a bizarre example. While most people assume the band is basically Lemmy plus two other guys, drummer Mikkey Dee was in the band since 1992 and guitarist Phil Campbell since 1984 (which makes him by far the longest-serving band member bar Lemmy). So although these members have been together since 1992, they were still a four-piece until guitarist Würzel (a member from 1984 to 1995) quit. The final line-up of Lemmy, Campbell and Dee existed from 1995 to 2015. | |

Insistent Terminology | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_e563bf09 | comment |
Insistent Terminology: Lemmy used to claim they just played rock 'n roll, and hated being told otherwise. According to a quote of his, it's because at the time 'heavy metal was too slow and boring' and the band were inspired by rock and roll bands. In his later years, he seemed to be more at peace with the heavy metal label, and in his autobiography White Line Fever he actually refers to Motörhead as heavy metal several times. | |

Determinator: "Stand" from March or Die encourages the listener to be one, because "if you stand then you deserve it all". Also, Lemmy himself. The man was the embodiment of Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll, yet survived until he was 70 years old. | |

Surprisingly Gentle Song: Though the songs were not recorded by the band, Lemmy wrote Ozzy Osbourne's "Mama, I'm Coming Home" and "See You On The Other Side", both gut-wrenching power ballads. | |

Team Dad: Pretty much was this to anyone in the hard rock/heavy metal community; while he was very much one of the "elder statesmen" of those genres, he also never looked down on any of his contemporaries and was always gracious to the fans — some of whom grew up and started their own bands. If he met you and liked you, that was good enough for him to hang out with you anytime. After his death, Neil Gaiman recounted that he and a friend had once used Lemmy's name to get into a private bar in England, then lo and behold, Lemmy was at the bar. Neil confessed what they'd done, and Lemmy just replied "Good on ya," and kept drinking. | |

Skyward Scream | |
| Motörhead (Music) / int_fd5f23a7 | comment |
Skyward Scream: Not so much a scream, but Lemmy's habit of raising the microphone high and tilting it downward, so that he had to be looking up at the ceiling to sing into it. This had the effect of allowing him to sing louder and take deeper breaths quicker (because his trachea was straightened out; it's the same reason Johnny Cash tilted his head back at the end of each line), though he often joked that it began as a way for him not to have to see how few people were coming to their early shows. | |
