* FaceOfTheBand: Lemmy, no doubt. To the point that, when Lemmy died on December 28 2015, the band permanently broke up the following day, knowing they couldn't go on without him.

* SugarWiki/HeartwarmingMoments: Music/DaveGrohl spoke at Lemmy's funeral and told of the first time they met. Dave went up to Lemmy and said, "You're my great musical hero. I'm a musician myself, I'm in the Music/FooFighters and I played in Music/{{Nirvana}}." Lemmy looks to Dave, and the first thing he says is, "I'm sorry about what happened to [[Music/KurtCobain your friend]]."

** MemeticMutation: When 2016 became a TraumaCongaLine year that lives in infamy, some people began to list Lemmy's passing as a ''prelude'' to how terrible 2016 was, especially since after his passing, Music/DavidBowie himself would pass away and arguably foreshadow what was yet to come.

* HarsherInHindsight: "Till the End", from the band's final album ''Bad Magic'', are about Lemmy reflecting on his life. Listened to after his death, the lyrics almost sound like he realizes he probably didn't have much time left.

* VindicatedByHistory: ''Bastards'', though not due to any hate of any kind, but rather due to the fact that ZYX Records were incompetent and didn't promote it at the time of its release outside of Germany, meaning it had to be imported. When it was finally given a proper worldwide release in 2001 by Steamhammer Records, it was seen by many as one of the band's best albums.

** ''Another Perfect Day''. In the Motörhead documentary ''The Guts and the Glory'', Lemmy stated that "Recording Another Perfect Day was fucking torture. Brian, he'd take seventeen hours doing a guitar track. It fucking took so long compared with the other albums. And then when it was released everybody fucking hated it". However, he stated in his memoir ''White Line Fever'' that "Another Perfect Day, was very good... Another Perfect Day stood the test of time – a lot of fans have recanted now and come to like it. But that didn't help us back then".
