He's just like superman, but he doesn't even fear kryptonite. Ian Fraiser Kilmister, known as Lemmy, is simply indestructible; a huge, iconic alliance of hell-raiser, cult-figure, and rock-animal. Ever since the mid 70s he is the one and only, the uber-persona of loud, hard and aggressive rock.
Even at the landmark age of 60 he has by no means mellowed out, has never taken part in any commercial adventures, nor has he played the music-industry's twisted "game". Lemmy has always done his thing, according to his own rules, and in his very own words. And yes, while doing so, he has always worn those black clothes, which he claims he loves cause he doesn't need to wash them so often - and that he will not change until they come up with something "darker than black'.
Apart from that, there is, of course, always that heavy, metallic power-horse called Motorhead. It's a perpetuum mobile that has run on full power for over 30 years, 24/7. And that consists of your classic power-trio, including not only Lemmy, but also the widely underrated guitar-genius that is Philip Campbell, and the energetic Michael "Mikkey Dee" Delaouglou on drums.
