Just woke to the sad news that Lemmy has died.

I was all set to see the band in January and pass the 'louder than everything else' rock 'n' roll torch onto my nephew - but I suppose that's not going to happen now.

Chuck Norris only got given that name because 'Lemmy' was already taken.

RIP Lemmy. Killed By Death. Thanks for everything (in excess).

Very sad news to end the year.

Live album No Sleep Till Hammersmith will be getting a playing today.

Read his autobiog some years ago .

He certainly lived his 70 years on the planet.

RIP Lemmy.

You know I'm bad, the times I've had,
I've got a bad reputation,
I don't care, I get my share,
Don't feel no deprivation,
The more I get the better it is,
I like it fine, like a little whizz,
Treat 'em like ladies, that's a fact,
You know The Chase Is Better Than The Catch

RIP Lemmy... doubt there'll be much peace with you around though!

Exactly what I thought, Dunlaying.

Diagnosed on Boxing Day; dead within two days.

Much better to go like that than linger on for months in drawn-out pain.

RIP Lemmy. Stoke's lost one of its finest.

It IS my kind of music.

Hard, honest uncompromising and with zero regard for what 'the market' dictates.

When you hear the word 'artist' bestowed on every two-bob finalist in a nationwide Karaoke contest, it makes me want to heave, put up against the way Lemmy conducted his business.

Report trilby22 • January 29, 2016 4:43 PM GMT
Lyrics are not quite exact but here's ...

"Brave New World"



So this a new beginning, as the new century dawns
The world's a better place for you and me
Shouldn't smoke or drink or watch that evil filthy porn.
Be Christian and God will set you free.
But being poor is worse than having AIDS,
The homeless live in boxes at our feet
Living in a constant state of dull frustrated rage,
The innocent shot daily in the street

[Chorus]
Brave new world, brave new world, brave new world
[Repeat]

The government has always been you pal as you well know
Absolute corrupted power play,
If we all wipe each other out, it only goes to show
While the bureaucrats get richer by the day,
Smoking dope will get you more than murder one,
And even worse than statutory rape,
Don't understand your children, so you send them all to jail,
Believe me, you will never make a worse mistake.

[Chorus]

The government is coming and it wants to be your friend,
It wants to show you how to be a snitch
Inform upon your children, the inevitable end,
Is everyone's a victim but the filthy ****g rich,
And religion, like the monster that it is
Keeps telling you to turn the other cheek
God is on your side, but I don't think that you're on his,
If Jesus showed up now he'd be in jail by next week,
