Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Signe on December 28, 2015, 07:22:50 PM I'm so sad. :heartbreak:
Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Sky on December 28, 2015, 07:38:11 PM Bummer. Such a nice guy and embodied rock and roll.
I guess you could say he was....killed by death. Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Merusk on December 28, 2015, 09:43:35 PM Died playing his favorite video game two days after getting the cancer diagnosis. If ya gotta go to it, best for it to be quick.
Rock on in Valhalla, Lemmy. Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: apocrypha on December 29, 2015, 01:45:22 AM Well, he said he didn't wanna live forever.
:heartbreak: Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: IainC on December 29, 2015, 07:43:28 AM I met Lemmy twice. Once at a working mens' club in Nottingham where they'd just played a free gig before settling down at a table to drink. The first time in Yorkshire where we were trying to fix a friend's motorcycle when Lemmy walked past and told us what the problem was. Surreal but cool, we were far too much in awe to say anything until after he'd gone.
Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Sky on December 29, 2015, 08:58:18 AM I think Scott Ian said it best: "He was Motorhead, and HE PLAYED ROCK AND ROLL!"
Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Ginaz on December 29, 2015, 10:12:36 AM I wish this thread had Lemmy's or Motorhead's name in the subject line because I have never heard of Hawkwind. I'm old but not that old.
Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: HaemishM on December 29, 2015, 10:32:24 AM I think I can safely say something that Lemmy would agree with me on.
Fuck you, cancer. Just fuck you. Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: satael on December 29, 2015, 10:38:19 AM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yao_T2adl14 (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yao_T2adl14) :rock:

Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Sir T on December 29, 2015, 05:42:36 PM I saw an interview with him one time where he said he started singing "The Eight of Spades!" as a joke for a while, but gave up on it when he found out that even the Band hadn't noticed.
RIP. Seemed like a nice guy whenever I saw him on an interview. Title: Re: Former Hawkwind Bassist Dies Post by: Surlyboi on December 29, 2015, 08:58:35 PM The band was playing a completely different song and he went with the Ace of Spades lyrics for a verse and a half before quitting.
