THE ART OF GROOMING

Lemmy rules. This book is incredible. I devoured it. Read it in no time because it’s interesting for surel. It’s well told. I wish it were twice as long. Lemmy’s story in Lemmy’s words is brilliant. It’s true folklore, history being passed down by oral tradition.

The man has a knack for story telling and he has some fine stories to tell. Of course there are tales of drugs, relationships, clubs, promoters, constabulary officials, recording engineers, record labels, defections, new recruits, crashes, burns and miraculous recoveries. Of COURSE this book is FULL of that. That’s the story of Motorhead. What makes it grand is the way Lemmy dishes it out. You love it. You eat it up. You can’t get enough.


The striking thing is that, as Lemmy tells his stories, he seems to speak highly or at least civilly even of those who have done him wrong. He is gracious with his associates, professional in his dealings and true to himself to a fault. As much as he is a legend and a killer vocalist, singular songwriter, identifiable bassist and all around head case, he is also a good human being.

It must be understood that this book is about the lifestyle of an English RockStar, who never promoted the same...... If you have a personal opinion of cultural issues of Englishmen, you might chose to ignore this post.
