Lemmy looks tired.

He was, it was after the gig; he admits to being 65 but I reckon he's a bit older.

Don't know TBH Scott, not as many as Slade gigs though - & that was 36 with the original lineup.
My first Motorhead was in '78 - maybe even '77, not long after he formed the original band. We spoke about that as the venue for that was just a few miles away. It was taken in his dressing room, I was given a pass cos of the thing I did down at Marshall - playing his amps before he did; which he had a laugh about but said they'd done a fantastic job on copying "Murder One" his number one amp.
Last time I saw them in Glasgow he had a lot of trouble with a new Rick custom, I asked where it was & he gave up on it; he was back to the first custom with the carved oak-leaves last night.

Great pic, Stu! I've seen Lemmy many times at the Rainbow Bar & Grill in Hollywood. What a nice guy, too!

He was born Christmas Eve 1945. No word on whether or not a manger was involved.

Nothing but admiration for the man...

Nice one...

First saw them in Cambridge in '77 on the first tour for the album - MH as the first and last song...

He was out front playing pinball with a bunch of people - thrashed me - gave me his game when had to go play...

Yeah he is, met him a few times before, a few years ago now. He's one of the very few people in music who is 100% what you see is what you get. 0 BS around him!

One of the old joys I had when did morning news was that every Christmas Eve, I'd play Motorhead on the air for Lemmy's birthday. ..did it three years in a row. It was always priceless to see the looks of confusion and fear on the anchors' faces as they came back from break to "Iron Fist."

[Highlander]

X... L... ENT... 

[Big_Stu]

When they used to play "Capricorn" live he'd always have some reference to his birthday in the intro; usually along the lines of "a bit of self indulgence for those poor b*****ds who have their birthday at Christmas"!

So - who's the guy in the photo?  No clue here.

[nofi]
