as this is another day with dreadful news, I'd like to bring some positive ones, too:

perhaps/surely a lot of people already have seen it, but for those not and for those who can use a little chuckle and warm smile:

so - toast to a cool guy! share a drink with him.. and don't you dare to bring milk

I was looking forward to see him a third time on this years WoA so much.

My first Motörhead gig was Wacken 2013, where he had a heart attack and had to stop playing - we thought he would die that day. He survived and made it up to us in 2015 with possibly one of the greatest concerts I ever had the pleasure to witness. So much energy at that age!

Little things like this clip make me admire this person even more, added to how good a songwriter and what an innovative bass player he was.

yeah, I know the feeling.

saw him in wacken back in 2000? or 2001? and once after that on a smaller stage. I generally prefer smaller concerts -by far- anyway, Lemmy never disappointed! would like to have seen a show this year, too, but .. hmpf.

concering the age: if you listen to other stuff than rock/hardrock/metal, too: many, many blues musicians are quite old by now, and most of them still deliver. I'm quite often in Bonn for concerts and many old geezers on the stage there kick their younger colleagues asses it's not funny

actually, it is
