Great Quotes from Motörhead Frontman, Lemmy Kilmister

The irreverent and outspoken Lemmy Kilmister, singer and bassist of Motörhead for six decades, passed away Monday after a battle with cancer. He was 70.

I was never much of a fan of his music, but I am a fan of some of the crazy things that came out of his mouth.

We're the kind of band when we move in next door your lawn dies.

From his book, White Line Fever:

Apparently people don't like the truth, but I do like it; I like it because it upsets a lot of people. If you show them enough times that their arguments are bullshit, then maybe just once, one of them will say, 'Oh! Wait a minute — I was wrong.' I live for that happening. Rare, I assure you.

Also from White Line Fever:

People don't become better when they're dead; you just talk about them as if they are. But it's not true! People are still a--holes, they're just dead a--holes!

 

I don't understand people who believe that if you ignore something, it'll go away. That's completely wrong — if it's ignored it gathers strength. Europe ignored Hitler for 20 years. As a result he slaughtered a quarter of the world!

 

I don't do regrets. Regrets are pointless. It's too late for regrets. You've already done it, haven't you? You've lived your life. No point wishing you could change it.
