See he's funeral is being live streamed on youtube. He'd no doubt piss himself laughing at that. No messing with this fella, proper lad, what you seen was what you got, the genuine article.
I can't remember what documentary it's in. There's been a few. But he tells a story in one that still makes me laugh...
He got off the Hawkwind tour bus somewhere in Canada. He was taking a few pictures, dressed in them up the crack denim cut-offs and mad hippy clogs of the 70's. Someone twatted him on the head. When he woke up the bus, and everything else, was gone.
The band were all acid and pot, peace and love, hippy types. When the speed freak plonky got knocked out, they drove off sharpish, leaving him in some motorway services with fuck all but the cut-offs and clogs. But he hitched to the border, somehow blagged his way through into the states and caught up with them - on stage, playing a gig, with someone fella he'd never seen before playing his bass. So, Lemmy charged through the gaff, roaring and screaming, jumped on stage, done fella in and weighed into all of them with his bass.
Wish I could be there on Saturday...
