Lemmy Kilmister began
his musical career in the early ‘60s before finding fame with the
pioneering space rock legends Hawkwind. After departing in 1975, Lemmy
formed Motörhead and would go on to create a non-stop 40+ year
barrage of the loudest music in the world. This would combine his love for the
roots of rock ‘n’ roll and heroes like Chuck Berry and Little Richard,
with an innovative quality that would spawn a new level of speed and aggression.
A straightforward, no-nonsense style of bass playing and
song writing found favor with both rockers, and the emerging punk scene of the
late 70s. This new, raw prototype sound was the progenitor of modern heavy
metal. Lemmy, and, Motörhead had triumphantly forged new ground and laid
the foundation that speed/thrash metal would follow. What magnificent
bastards, eh?!!!

Rock Iconz® Limited Edition Collectible Statue captures Lemmy from this “Ace of
Spades” era of the band. The pose has Lemmy gunning down the audience at the
end of the Motorhead set…a classic moment of any Lemmy performance. Rock Hard!
