Lemmy The Definitive Biography Softcover Book

Lemmy Kilmister didn't crossover into mainstream acceptance, the mainstream eventually had no choice but to accept him. Forty-plus years of Motörhead, a Jack and Coke permanently in hand, and a worldview so consistent it made most rock stars look like they were auditioning.

Written by Mick Wall, a journalist who spent 35 years in Lemmy's orbit, this is the biography that earns the word definitive. Wall doesn't mythologise so much as document, and the subject is extraordinary enough that documentation is sufficient. Motörhead sit at the exact junction of heavy metal, punk, and rock and roll where genres stop mattering, and Lemmy himself was the argument that attitude outlasts trend cycles, record label politics, and critical fashion. If your record collection has Ace of Spades anywhere in it, and it should, this belongs on the shelf next to it.

Softcover. Written by Mick Wall. Covers Lemmy's full life and career, from Hawkwind to Motörhead and beyond.
