Ten years went by in the blink of an eye. Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, world-renowned frontman and bassist of Motörhead, died mere days after his 70th birthday, on December 28th, 2015. Since his death his legend has only grown. If you saw him, met him, or saw his band live then you know the legend only half lives up to the man himself.  The monumental shadow he cast over the music world, since he passed, is evident by the constant tributes and rightful amount of worship. In 2024 alone, a new statue in his hometown, his own line of hot sauces, and a permanent residence at his favorite gentlemen’s club in London. In 2025, we had tribute albums, reissues, and even a new coffee release from Concept Cafes and a wide variety of options! This is all in addition to countless covers, a statue at his favorite bar, The Rainbow on the Sunset Strip in Hollywood, and his signature drink, The Jack And Coke, was renamed The Lemmy permanently by the beverage industry, brand new boxed sets, live albums, and hopefully one day, the Lemmy solo album that was in the works when he passed. Check out some great Lemmy music, some interviews Ghost Cult has done, with tributes to Lemmy, and some other bands paying respect over the years.  Continue reading →
