Motorhead was my first show in 2003. RIP to the loudest bassist in the world!
Fishypants
Saw Lemme there once, just at the bar minding his own business. I didn’t say hi, didn’t want to bother him. Wish I did now :-/
nataSdroL666
Waiting the moment when some karen remember's that Lemmy collected nazi-memorabilia, so he must be nazi.. Protect this statue just in case
Lovethesmelloftoastedsourdoughbread
Where is this? I'm guessing the Rainbow Bar and Grill in LA?

He discovered a particle called the Lemme atom!
toastyboy
Fun fact, when he would drink, he would only have Jack and Coke, and some bars will give you a Jack and Coke if you order a "Lemmy" cocktail
Lee1604
They have a statue erected of him in Clisson, France!! hellfest baby yeah!!
DeadBodyAnimated
Let them see it. They will decapitate it in a heart beat

Excellent likeness. Got his motor head perfectly

And the robocop one STILL isn't done.

The Rainbow on Sunset. He sat at the end of the bar in the exact same spot and played the video game machine. Ask for a pic and he’d 1/2
Americanski
Would turn around, look at the camera, wait for the flash and then go back to his game without saying a word. Nice guy
SiegeWeapon
I heard he would often wear denim shorts so short, you could often see his nuts when he leaned over the pinball table. A rumor, of course.
Americanski
Yeah, and he had a buddy, who I assume, was an old roadie who wore silver gauntlets and shin guards who kinda took care of him. Very dapper.
ActionJohnnie
Jack n coke.
Dyin9Br33d
I get called racist for saying politicians are using it to divide people.
DisgruntledFerret
As a show of commitment to the original, this statue will also never be cleaned!
OhFaceYeah
The Old Testament forbids the making or worshiping of any such likeness of God.

If you’re a woman it also says stfu, If you’re a guy, you better wear the right clothes or you can also stfu according to that crock o’ sht

What's with all the hate here?!

What hate? Do you mean the two dumbasses downvoted to Hades?
LaffertyDanie1
People probably think he's a confederate general lol
Wolfmom2020
Qell, he IS a white guy. CLEARY a slave owner...
JuggerGnome
They tore down Grant in another......
Psychonaught01
I gotta thank motorhead for getting me into metal
Thatsmykenku
Obligatory “Motörhead isn’t metal” remark just so someone doesn’t come through being a jerk about it. Motörhead is one of the GoAT
secretdpp
They're not my favorite, but I'm not enough of an ass to deny they're metal and have had a profound impact on the community
GameOfLiesAndDeath
There are so many subgenres of every genre these days. Led Zeppelin is just as metal as Cradle of Filth.
ViolentSheepOfReason
Led Zeppelin and some similar bands are commonly considered proto-metal, just a classification thing tho :)
tracereading
I dunno, they sound pretty metal to me.
Thatsmykenku
Lemmy himself said they play rock n roll.
Anonawesome
Metalhead here, yeah it is. You don't need growls to be metal. The metal sound has evolved over the years, just like every other major genre
meltedfaceguy
Yeah they're definitely very heavy metal/speed metal for a band that's usually labeled as just 'hard rock'. Metal is such an umbrella term f
meltedfaceguy
For music fans these days.
Anonawesome
Yeah hence why there's so many subgenres. Doesn't help the confusion that metal kinda absorbed punk with post-hardcore as well.
Thatsmykenku
“We are Motörhead, and we play rock n roll” is what lemmy would say
thefetusgrenade
Who would want to tear down a statue of god?
zechs3
god of drinking and listening to rock.
BYERE
One of the best gods...
bacci14
A-holes with hate and contempt in their hearts

People have already moved on from confederate generals to Lincoln and Teddy Roosevelt statues. People just want to keep the rage going

I hate that Nietzsche turned out to be correct
RatioEssendi
It always surprises me when I see "Kilmister". To me he's just "Lemmy". You know, like "Moses" or "Abraham"...
ViolentSheepOfReason
And to not confuse him with Lemmiwinks
Aldante92
We only bring it up because it's a badass last name
XVUltima
His character in Brutal Legend was called "The Kill Master" because of it. It is indeed a bad ass name.
Aldante92
Its been so long since I played Brütal Legend, but I could of sworn it was "the Killmeister." I'm probably wrong lol
XVUltima
Either way, I still find it hilariously ironic that despite his name, he is the the HEALER of the group. The opposite of killing.
Aldante92
Well yeah, he's mastered killing. No sense beating a dead horse, time to master something new!
YuanTiAreMisunderstood
Lemmy was hella antiracist. Thought race was a device used by politicians to keep folks divided.
predp
This reminded me of an episode of House MD where a black guy refused to take pills that were better for a black person. Don't overdo it guys
barrocoyote
So was Grant but they took down his. Shame because the Confederate statues really needed to go.
XVUltima
Black Suits Matter. Particularly, the spades.
JamesBluntThatSmartassCunt
It is, usually.
Sonorum
This! He was anti racist and anti sexist way before it was cool.

so was Hans Christian Heg....didn't save HIS statue....

Well, he is fucking right.

sqabbit
Because it is
Cowfister
It's pretty much true.
smashpro1
Though he did also collect Nazi memorabilia.
SaItyEuropean
it is
CptWOW
Well these people tore down statues of Grant, abolitionists, and one dedicated to women's progress so that won't stop them
DizzierDizzi
It still js
dontfloatmygoat
Had a lot of Nazi memorabilia tho
Wolfeman87
Sure loved his Nazi memorabilia and giant Nazi swastika flags in his home...
StubaSceve
Would've been different if he wore them on stage though
PlantainSuperNova
I don’t know why people are downvoting you lol. He had that shit on display in his apartment
Wolfeman87
Yeah it's not like it's on film in a documentary or anything, I must have made the whole story up LMAO.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
He collected uniforms.
PlantainSuperNova
He collected a lot more than uniforms

Divide et impera, divide and rule.
Wankathon
Great mod though
Evildonkey
He was a HUGE fan of African American women.
JHRD1880
There's a famous video where he talks to a black kid who is getting bullied because he likes metal. It's amazing.

Culture is one thing but that’s not appearances
nopenononope
Stated on record that he had been too fucked up at too many orgies to call himself a heterosexual anymore.

Haha that's what's up

Pretty metal

Jk, this is all I could find on Lemmy https://www.blabbermouth.net/news/mot-rhead-frontman-comments-on-lemmy-is-bisexual-internet-hoax/
TheRicM
I always thought he was some sort of Confederate dude because of his hat. My bad
CptWOW
A little bit of education goes a long way huh?
thorkild91
The dude was English so that would be kind of weird
werewolffbarmitzvah
Metal guys are actually a very welcoming group. ditto punk kids, like the song says “nazi punks fuck off”
Wankathon
Did you know he owned a ww2 German tank destroyer
TheRicM
PlesiosaurWithElementsOfAnIdeaOfTheLochNessMonsterBoy
IIRC one of his most famous quotes had to do with "Fucking eachother until we are a uniform brown skin tone"
Hutchy01
Knowing Lemmy that could have been his hopeful way of ending racial disharmony and/or his weekend plans.
redstick
So he wanted to sexually genocide everyone except brown people? Classy.
XplodingUnicornGlitter
That's not what the fuck he said and you know it.
ReaperCDN
With his dick.
redstick
I like the way I look, and I want my children to look like me.
IDidItForTheSlunk
No. He's saying all the races should fuck each other until there is no distinction between us. Mix the pot so to speak.

mirria
Dude liked to collect uniforms. He got in a bit of hot water because he also had Nazi uniforms. Liked the looks, not what they represented.
TheRicM
Ah ok I see, thanks for the info. That's quite interesting
melmboundanddown
Good to know, saw these and always figured he was on the super right!
meltedfaceguy
You have to admit the Nazis looked very dashing in uniform, Hugo Boss knew what he was doing when he designed their outfits to be as
meltedfaceguy
Sleek and color-coordinated as they are. Nazis were real goddamn bastards, but they looked fuckin' great.
Sonorum
Yes some other uniforms looked good but the nazis had good looking uniforms across the board...
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
As a dude who collects uniforms (albeit, not from Nazi Germany), I find the majority of people who collect WWII German are actually (1)
ChuckNorrisAteMySock
Quite responsible about sharing the history associated with them and generally aren't ideologically motivated. (2)
Cheomesh
Not my experience at all, unfortunately.
PatrickDiomedes
IIRC, the SS uniforms were actually really poorly designed. they looked good, but were uncomfortable and impractical
TheRicM
That's pretty cool
skulltura
Why did Lemme own slaves or a confederate traitor? Dont think so, so he’s good. ??
Cheomesh
I mean, he's from England.
imjustabill495
Exactly. The criteria isn't difficult to follow
dstnceswmer
Tell that to the statue of Hans Christian Heg that got torn down in Madison this week
MinorityOpinion
And Winston Churchill. The white man's crime is not that he was involved in slavery, but that he ENDED it - unlike the rest of the world.
McScrotington
Or the Lincoln statue in DC. Venezuelans living in the states are having deja vu. Wild times.
dstnceswmer
There are ppl advocating for the removal of Lincoln here in Madison as well which to be fair he does have some more controversial,
dstnceswmer
lesser publicized background than Heg from what I could find. My guess on Heg was just mob mentality at that point
dstnceswmer
"it's a statue of a civil war guy, tear that shit down" But that's just speculation at this point,
Leithoa
https://www.channel3000.com/protesters-explain-why-they-tore-down-statues-at-state-capitol/
dstnceswmer
Yeah that gives no reason why the Heg statue was torn down though. I live down the street from there and have been looking for any
dstnceswmer
/2 explanation to his removal.
Leithoa
It's in the last couple paragraphs.
dstnceswmer
I see the explanation for tearing down the forward statue but not the Heg one
Dionysus187
that makes no sense. They tore it down because it was too progressive in moving forward?
dstnceswmer
That was just one of them though the other was of an abolitionist union soldier who fought in a anti-slave catcher militia.
Leithoa
I assume their logic was fighting 'we can't be racist we've got a statue"
Dionysus187
I am 100% sure no one successfully used that statue to publicly prove they weren't racist despite being racist. I think they just fucked up
Dionysus187
some real dumb shit circular logic. "We cant move forward until we move forward so anything moving forward gets stopped"
Imafishwithlegs
Sounds people only want to be reminded of things that support their frustration and anger. Anything that doesn't is getting erased
Dionysus187
sounds more like back pedaling bullshit for tearing down a statue that no where near fit the criteria of the others
