[kj] [OT] RIP Lemmy

[Rob Moss]

I heard a track live from the Eden project on the radio. I could but recognise it as it was just a mess. The dj then said it was Ace of Spades. I was shocked to be honest. 

It was a terrible shame that he was obviously losing some of his power but none of his passion. Obviously a proud man and you're right Neil. A world without Lemmy. Odd.

>>> In any event, it's not entirely irrelevant to Killing Joke. I know a lot of folks, likeme, actually really enjoyed hearing Killing Joke explore their more "Motorhead" side this past decade, with Jaz's vocals often sometimes in the past 15 years or so being compared to Lemmy's on tracks like "Endgame" or "Implosion," which are almost like Motorhead cover songs.
