Awesome / Motörhead

• In the "Hellraiser" music video, Lemmy plays a game of poker against Pinhead, and wins.
  • The 30th-anniversary edition of Hellraiser deserves mention: The vocals are a mashup of both Lemmy and Ozzy, while the animated music video features the two fighting demonic aliens to get Lemmy's bass back. It's a fitting tribute from Ozzy to his late friend.
• The fact that Lemmy owned up to his lifestyle and wasn't afraid at all to.
  "Fuck god, and fuck the devil, and fuck the church too. I'm responsible for my actions. I don't need to hide behind nothing. The devil didn't make me do it, I did it... whatever I did."
• And finally, Lemmy living the Sex, Drugs, and Rock & Roll lifestyle harder than most could handle, and despite that, the band lasted a whopping 40 years, while Lemmy himself made it all the way to the age of 70.
• As tragic as Lemmy's passing was, he did go out in style: He asked to be cremated and have his ashes put in an urn shaped like his signature hat. To say nothing about his Epitaph:
  Born to Lose, Lived to Win
• When Lemmy received a letter from a Black teenager who was being teased for listening to heavy metal, here's what he said in response.
  Lemmy: Tell 'em to go to Hell. Alright? They wanna keep you safe and warm in the black community. And if the black community can't handle you? Shove 'em. Come some place else. Little Richard, when he had his first hits, he was ostracized completely and outcast by the blacks. They all said, "Oh, he sold out!" He didn't sell out! He was playing the music he liked, and white people liked it! Y'know, should you be penalized for giving people joy? Screw 'em! Do what you want.
