- Lemmy - The Definitive Biography
- Popis:
- In `The Ace of Spades`, Motorhead`s most famous song, Lemmy, the born-to-lose, live-to-win frontman of the band sang, `I don`t want to live forever`. Yet as he told his friend of 35 years, former PR and biographer Mick Wall, `Actually, I want to go the day before forever. To avoid the rush...`. This is his strange but true story. Brutally frank, painfully funny, wincingly sad, and always beautifully told, LEMMY: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY is the story of the only rock`n`roller never to sell his soul for silver and gold, while keeping the devil, as he put it, `very close to my side`. From school days growing up in North Wales, to first finding fame in the mid-60s with the Rockin` Vicars (`We were very big up north, I had a Zephyr 6`); from being Jimi Hendrix`s personal roadie (`I would score acid for him`), to leading Hawkwind to the top of the charts in 1972 with `Silver Machine` (`I was fired for taking the wrong drugs`); from forming Motorhead (`I wanted to call the band Bastard but my manager wouldn`t let me`), whose iconoclastic album NO SLEEP `TIL HAMMERSMITH entered the UK charts at No. 1 - and its title into the lexicon of hip-speak. Based on Mick`s original interviews with Lemmy conducted over numerous years, along with the insights of those who knew him best - former band mates, friends, managers, fellow artists and record business insiders - this is an unputdownable story of one of Britain`s greatest characters. As Lemmy once said of Wall, `Mick Wall is one of the few rock writers in the world who can actually write and seems to know anything about rock music. I can and do talk to him for hours - poor bastard.` With the hard part of his journey now over, Lemmy is set to become a legend. LEMMY: THE DEFINITIVE BIOGRAPHY explains exactly how that came to be.
