When i was a lad of 13/14, at my school you were either into 2-tone or heavy metal. The main bands being The Specials and Motorhead. At the time i hated Motorhead because i fell in the other camp. As i grew up i listened to Motorhead and started to like them. Saw them once and my hearing has never been the same since.

Report on the news said he was only diagnosed on Boxing Day with "aggressive" cancer - by fcuk that's aggressive! His rocknroll lifestyle, drinking a bottle of Jack Daniels a day and smoking as heavy as he did meant he was never going to go to an old folks home and 70 was a good age to attain - living life to the full as he did. I always thought that mole thing on his face would eventually consume him rather than Cancer - it was getting bigger and bigger!.........LOL People talk of his heavy metal legacy, but I'll bet most can only name Silver Machine (Hawkwind) and Ace of Spades (Motorhead) as his best known numbers. RIP Ian. Lemmy's influence went beyond how well known his songs were. It is more about the respect he had from generations of other musicians. In a rock world which is increasingly corporate, Lemmy was an authentic old school rocker. The performances and the fans were his priority. Even when he was sick near the end he didn't go to sound checks -- but conserved his energy to play. Although, in truth, the ravages of his health problems impacted on those concerts as he slowly succumbed to his disintegrating body. Lemmy was, in my mind, "a well known ordinary guy." I remember seeing him about 5 years ago sitting in a quaint English style shopping arcade in Sydney (Strand Arcade) drinking a coffee and remembering thinking at the time how comfortable he looked surrounded by regular people. This article does a good job of trying to explain who he was. For such an icon of metal -- it was interesting that when asked about his influences, he cited The Beatles. From time the time Rock music throws up people who transcend the hype and "the business." R.I.P.

About 9 years ago, when working on a council run radio station me and a friend Tom, fell in love with a song called Race with the Devil by a band called Girlschool. Tom and I saw the band had a one off show at the Forum and decided to go. We stood at the back of the packed venue whilst I relayed that Girlschool had supported Motörhead several times in the 80s. Tom, cool as you like, nodded over to a 6ft moustachioed man in a cowboy hat standing directly behind us and said 'I guess that's why you're here then Lemmy'. He was a really nice guy, and for a while before GS came on chatted about Motörhead and Stacia and a number of other topics. Just a really nice bloke. My god did he get through the JD though RIP Lemmy

My god did he get through the JD though RIP Lemmy Didn't they also collaborate on 'Please Don't Touch' or something similar. Motorhead duet, Motorhead style Found it. [Link] Introduced by DL 'hands' Travis - You just know that any top of the pops audience was thrilled to have that as the highest new entry.

RIP Ian. My favourite track has always been Iron Horse, just ahead of Motorhead itself, ever since I heard it on a bootleg of No Sleep to Hammersmith. Although 1916 is probably the most atypical track they ever recorded.

A lot of heroes of our lifetime gone this year. Leonard Nimoy, Stephen Lewis (Blakey) and now Lemmy. Depressing really but that is life....and death. Happy new year. Shouldn't forget Christopher Lee, Rod Taylor, George Cole, Geoffrey Lewis, Patric Macnee, Roddy Piper, the list goes on. Edited by Hrolf The Ganger (31 Dec 2015 10.35am)

Kind of makes me hope there might be an afterlife. I met Leonard Nimoy, I worked for Blackwells when he was doing his Book signing tour. Really intelligent and surprisingly funny man. Got to spend quite a bit of time with him, as I was the only smoker in the store. Sometimes smoking pays off.

I did once get within feet of Shatner and Patrick Stewart plus the rest of the cast at the premier of "Generations" and that was quite a thrill for an old Trekkie like me.

I can't see him being the kind of guy that would put up with that.
