1. He’s not gone; death only got the body; it missed the rest.Report

   1. The man saw the Beatles at 16 and roadied for Hendrix. As an AVClub commenter said, we have to consider the possibility that Lemmy took Death with him.Report

2. All Metal. No Wham.

   RIPReport

3. The Hawkwind stuff is really amazingly good. I was recently reminded of that by a musician friend who’s a huge fan and inspired me to return to those albums that he’s on and it’s really top notch stuff, regardless of genre.Report

   1. With all fairness, I prefer the studio version of “Space Is Deep” with Dave Brock vocals.
      The live version on A Space Ritual is more up-tempo, which I feel is inappropriate for the piece, and the dual vocals featuring Lemmy ruins it for me.

      That said, much of A Space Ritual is like extended version proto-punk with weird background noises. Good stuff. A classic. Also, best album cover ever.

      I think Doremi was probably the best of the studio stuff with Lemmy on it. I could be overlooking something though.Report

4. “If death can happen to him, it can happen to anyone.”

   My heart goes out in particular to Keith Richard. This can’t be an easy time for him.Report

   1. He’s morosely drinking Jack-and-Metamucil while obsessively-refreshing http://www.abevigoda.comReport

5. I just heard about this on the radio immediately before I saw this post.

   A sad day.Report
