The more you hear about Lemmy, the more you realize how many bands he influenced. Not necessarily his music. He gave people confidence to create their own music. He convinced Chrissie Hind to forget Mick Jones and start a band. He had Adm Ant, Sid Vicious, Mick Fleetwood hanging out. All very different music. And that's why people love Lemmy. That and his appearances in Troma films.

Lemmy is and will forever be the ultimate in badassery.

never understood the hatred between punkers and metalheads...... classic metal is basically "forged" out of 70's punk/garage rock and 70's heavy rock..... Black Sabbath and Motorhead are two of Henry's favorite bands, so he's quite a metalhead himself :D:D

I never understood the animosity between Punk and Metal. Lyrical concerns, haircuts, and musical proficiency differences aside--loud rebellious rock and roll should be appreciated by everyone who likes loud, rebellious rock and roll, regardless of what you call it. I was always dumb and naive enough to believe that if you liked one, you should naturally like the other, and always considered myself in BOTH camps!

Motörhead is what happens when you give a few acid psychedelic rock hippies speed and whisky. They are like AC/DC in that they have broad appeal across different fanbases but still respected for being real.

Sooooo true. I was deeeeeep into hardcore punk and was given a cassette tape recording of Motorhead in '83. I played that thing to death …

Henry. Your elbow.

Lemmy would always say that Motorhead were a Rock

"I'm Lemmy, let's do a line."

I've been to Madam's Organ. I did a version of "Funky Cold Medina" in a Scottish accent on their open mike night. I later got kicked out. God, I've been kicked out of so many bars. Yes, I'm THAT guy.

Once again we see why Henry is relatable to us human beings!

Henry Rollins inspires me

Hawkwind inspired the Sex Pistols, so there’s no reason for someone who loves punk not to love Motörhead. Hawkwind was punk before punk existed, and Lemmy was the embodiment of the Punk attitude.

Motorhead is the perfect bridge between a few genres.

The origin of Henry Rollins and how he got into punk rock. Way cool!

Love Henry or hate him--- it's 100% honest..... spit the truth , Mr. Rollins

I saw the Adverts at the Star & Garter Manchester. TV Smith such a top dude. After the gig he came down meeting and greeting the audience. Such a nice bloke. A true gentleman.

"openminded but know what I like" me too Henry me too!!!

He mentioned stiff little fingers... im all excited now. Last concert I went to was stiff little fingers back in like 2001 at irving plaza in ny.

"...after a couple of songs"? Henry, my first Motorhead album "Overkill" had me a fan for life by the first verse of the first song.
