In the nine years since the death Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, world-renowned frontman and bassist of Motörhead just days after his 70th birthday, 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 tribute and rightful amount of worship. In just 2024 alone, there has been a new level of tributes to Lem, including a new statue in his home town, his own line of hotsauces, and a permanent residence at his favorite gentlemen’s club in London. 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
