Petition Launched To Rename Jack And Coke After Lemmy Kilmister
A recently launched petition is urging the world to “celebrate and remember” one of Rock ‘n’ Roll’s greatest icons, Lemmy Kilmister, by changing the name of Lemmy’s drink of choice, Jack and Coke, to the “Lemmy.” The petition on Change.org, launched by someone named “Gimme A Lemmy” seeks to enlist “the entire world” in this seemingly futile endeavor to rename the staple drink of Jack Daniels whiskey and Coca-Cola a “Lemmy,” and while it’s a touching tribute, it’s also one that would be near impossible to enforce. “A Jack Daniels and...

'Lemmy' Director Shares Favorite Memories From 5 Years Spent Making Motörhead Rock Doc
When I think of Lemmy, I don’t think of the plume of smoke, or the cigarette expiring between his fingers, or the fruit machines or the whiskey -- not even the jet-engine roar of Motörhead live. Not at first, at least. I think of reading glasses on the tip of his nose, three or four books open on a backstage table, or notepads full of doodles of spiders and swordsmen. I think of George Harrison playing in the background, or Ricky Nelson, or Live at Leeds.

Motörhead metalhead who took on weighty issues
Few musicians have walked the rebel’s walk with as much conviction as the Motörhead frontman Lemmy, who has died aged 70 of cancer. Despite his high-profile image as a hell-raiser, Lemmy’s influence as a musician and songwriter should not be underestimated. His bass guitar style was unique, combining a heavily distorted tone with chords for a sound that more resembled rhythm guitar. The amphetamine-fuelled tempo of Motörhead’s songs in the 1970s made the band – in any of its many line-ups – stand out from the more leisurely heavy metal sound of the day, inspiring younger admirers such as Metallica. Despite the rawness of his music, Lemmy’s melodies were indebted to 1950s rock’n’rollers such...
