📱 eBook en inglés LEMMY

Unflinching, forthright and full of wry humour as the man himself, and theres little praise greater than that CLASSIC ROCK

Walls vision of Lemmy as a RocknRoll stalwart who made no concessions is vivid to the last GUARDIAN

In The Ace of Spades, Motörheads most famous song, Lemmy, the born-to-lose, live-to-win frontman of the band sang, I dont 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 rocknroller 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; from being Jimi Hendrixs 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 Motörhead (I wanted to call the band Bastard but my manager wouldnt let me), whose iconoclastic album NO SLEEP TIL HAMMERSMITH entered the UK charts at No. 1.

Based on Micks 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 Britains 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.
