He was also a seriously nice guy.

I lost interest once the classic trio split up but, as others have said, they were a special band and they always felt like "one of us", as opposed to the rock stars of the day. Always approachable, they signed autographs and chatted after gigs to spotty Herberts like me and my friends. They mixed a punk attitude with classic hard/stoner rock and the greasier side of the original rock 'n' roll and created a wonderful racket. RIP chaps.
Kiss of Death is probably my favourite, though.
Lemmy had an excellent way with words, and many of his lyrics make me chuckle.
I caught a plectrum of his at a gig, too, which is nice.

They do get very samey so I’m probably up for about three songs and then I’m off but those three songs are quite glorious.
There is a Motorhead tribute band that I believe comes from the Northants/Peterborough/Melton Mowbray area - The bass player goes out with my mates neighbor - He has that Lenny look about him - If you saw him in the street and someone said he plays in a tribute band, you'd instantly know he is Lenny
I've seen a LOT of big bands across most genres since the 1970s and almost nothing has given me goosebumps like the bass intro to "Motorhead" on an as-yet unlit stage in a packed, small venue.
I practically never listen to them or any other metal these days, but yeah, if you were there it was a thing to behold.
Saw them live a couple of times.
But they aren't even in my top 10 in terms of a live act and a lot of the recorded output is rough and under produced.
The most exciting live act I saw was Canadian band 'The Tea Party' who I saw at last a dozen times.
Then it would be (in no particular order) Refused, Converge, TOOL, The Dillinger Escape Plan, Strapping Young Lad, NIN, The Young Gods, Clutch, RATM, Rammstein, The Cult.
Motörhead are waaaaaay down the list.
Maybe in the 70's it was more powerful but we've come a long way since then.
I will admit that a lot of the musicians I admire were influenced by them.

Football is rubbish.

My mate still has this from when he played a pre-gig game of pool with Lemmy, Phil and Eddie. Love Lemmy's comment. Top guys.
just because you do, doesn't mean you should.

Fantastic band.
