(Photo by Jo Hale/Getty Images) MOTÖRHEAD drummer MIKKEY DEE has declared the band is no more following the death of frontman LEMMY KILMISTER. The singer passed away on Monday, just four days after his 70th birthday, following a short battle with an extremely aggressive cancer. Lemmy’s manager, Todd Singerman, has since revealed the rock veteran had been given “two to six months to live” when he was diagnosed with terminal cancer on Saturday. Now Dee has officially ruled out any chance of a Motorhead return with a Lemmy replacement. ......

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

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

Phil 'Philthy Animal' Taylor: Hell-raising Motörhead drummer whose pounding mastery of his kit kick-started the ...
In the late 1970s, the Motörhead drummer, Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor, put the thrash in metal by simply doubling up the kick-bass-drum pattern on “Overkill”, the title track of the band’s second album, recorded at the Roundhouse Studios in London. Taylor’s relentless drumming went on to resonate throughout thrash metal and was taken up by the so-called Big Four, the four American bands that formed the cornerstones of the fast-moving, irresistible genre that dominated the ’80s, Anthrax, Metallica, Megadeth and Slayer. Thrash has since bled into death metal and spawned myriad variations away from the Anglo-Saxon rock world, in South America, continental Europe and beyond, and remains one of...

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