Metal Allegiance, Corey Taylor and Dave Lombardo play a tribute to Lemmy

It isn't everyday that fans can see members of Megadeth, Testament, Sepultura, Slipknot, and formerly Slayer all on stage at the same time. It would take a momentous occasion to motivate such a gathering. Without a doubt, honoring legendary Motorhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister on the day of his funeral qualifies as such an occasion. It all went down at Lemmy's Sunset Strip stomping grounds at the Whisky A Go Go, only a few steps away from his favorite hangout the Rainbow Bar & Grill. Megadeth's David Ellefson, Testament's Alex Skolnick, the Winery Dogs' Mike Portnoy, and principal partner Mark...

Goodbye to Lemmy Kilmister — Metal genius and ‘the most drunken diabetic in the world’

0

A voice like shrapnel and a bass tone to match. A steady diet of rock ‘n’ roll and rebellion — fueled by, until not so long ago, a bottle of Jack Daniel’s per day and sexual escapades too numerous to count. Plus: muttonchops. Lemmy Kilmister, singer and bass player of Motörhead, somehow lived to be 70 before a surprise cancer diagnosis killed him on Monday. He played hard, he partied hard, and he lived hard — and leaves a venerable oeuvre eclipsed only by his reputation as one of rock’s most grizzled survivors. For sheer durability in a field where many a legend is undone by substances or suicide by age 30, only Ozzy Osbourne and Keith Richards come close to Lemmy — and neither is as...

For 40 years now, Motörhead have been one of rock & roll's most authentic bands. While ringmaster Lemmy Kilmister's peers have settled down, gotten sober and, by and large, bid adieu to their Dionysian vices, the gravelly voiced singer and bassist — who will turn 70 in December — still drinks, gambles and tortures fans' eardrums with dangerously high decibels in concert.

Justin Bieber Dissed By Motörhead Fans, Yet He Is A Metal Head

0

Around the world, metal fans are still mourning the loss of Motörhead’s frontman, Lemmy Kilmister, and they want Justin Bieber to fall to number two so they can make Motörhead’s song “Ace of Spades” number one in the U.K.’s music charts. What is strange is that Justin Bieber has defined himself as a metal fan since 2012 — and it is likely this campaign to honor Motörhead has made Justin Bieber feel shamed by fellow metal heads. Moreover, the news about Motörhead fans campaigning against him could not come to Justin Bieber at a worse time since he is finally reaching the top of the charts in the U.K. after six years of being a celebrity musician. On...

Metallica's 'Master of Puppets': Metal Musicians Reflect on the Band's Game-Changing Third Album

0
0
Released on March 3, 1986, Metallica’s Master of Puppets was the album that cracked the 1980s in half for metal. The mad thrashing sound that emerged from the San Francisco Bay Area in the early '80s looked into the vortex of its own evolution when Master arrived. The stunning Don Brautigam cover art -- a painting of giant hands emerging from an ominous red sky holding strings attached to a sea of white cemetery crosses -- was an unforgettable sight, one that instantly articulated the message of the album title. [readmore:7542045] For Metallica, the album was their first major vault into the mainstream lexicon, seemingly almost purely by word of mouth and all those black “Metal...

Motörhead metalhead who took on weighty issues

0

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...
