He's still here - but Lemmy glimpses Old Father Time

[The Dark Lord]

I guess burning the candle at both ends has its downsides.

Get better soon to one of my heroes!

You minght want to amend the thread title. i thought he was dead

[Dandelion]

It's a Va'Va'Va'Va defibrilator..

Good on Lemmy.....

[davehux]

Shame they couldn't even get his surname right

[Matt P]

yeah the thread title confused me a bit as well, held my breath while the next page loaded. the big shock for me was the first picture on the Mail website showing him playing a Gibson!

[Muzz]

Well, now he's part cyborg, he'll definitely outlive us all...

I'm guessing his 'lifestyle changes' might be going to bed at 3am, whether the bar's still open or not...

I think it's grammatically accurate. I didn't say Grim Reaper.

[paul_5]

I was bracing myself for bad news after reading the title. Glad to be wrong this time, get well soon Lemmy!

I think the thread title aged me faster than a night out with the great man.......! [size=4] [/size]

For me, Lemmy IS rock 'n' roll.

[Roland Rock]

Me too - the title made me think that the indestructible one was bereft of life

[Mr Arkadin]

I was looking forward to the London gig. Cancelled of course. Have to wait till Feb 2014, just glad he's still with us. My first gig in 1982 was Motorhead - fantastic Spinal Tap-style stage set moments.

[Billy Apple]

Please change thread title. Thought he was gone.

[The Dark Lord]

.... doesn't seem as punchy now!

I did that in '82 and lived to tell the tale. The amazing thing is that, like Keef, Lemmy really hasn't actually aged much since '82, they'd both done all the ageing nature could manage in the 60's and 70's

Yeah me too, mightily relieved to know it`s "only" a pacemaker.

[Woodinblack]

Thats a funny looking Ric on that page!
Glad he is ok, he is part of my history!

I thought that today too. Put me off replying to be honest. It was like a Daily Twat headline.

[b]The Dark Lord[/b] Grammatically correct but factually inaccurate? Not just me then .

Seriously though, mighty glad it's "only a pacemaker". I do struggle with Motorhead these days but like all the icons I grew up listening to I hope he goes on for ever.

[Billy Apple]

They were going to disguise the pacemaker as a Ric, but John Hall would not allow the medical team copyright. Gibson were kind enough to let them to use the SG design.

[Clarky]

That pic makes we want an SG bass

[bertbass]

Does this mean that Lemmy can now play in Gerry Marsden's band?

[discreet]

Live fast, die young... only not, and live for quite a bit longer. Rock 'n' Roll !!

We are Motorhead.....we play Rock n Roll.....he's a Legend.

[Dom in Dorset]

Will this so called "pace maker" be able to keep up with him?
