LEMMY IS GOD

There are so many great stories of Lemmy Kilmister throughout rock and roll history. I've witnessed a few and heard a million of them. Some of my favorite times are chilling at the Rainbow Bar and Grill, having a drink,  and feeling like I was in a fairy tale with Lemmy playing video poker a few bar stools down from me.

My all time favorite Lemmy story was from the Mayhem Festival tour when Motorhead was opening up for Slayer and Slipknot. Motorhead kept going over their set time by 5 to 10 minutes, which doesn't seem like a lot, but touring is organized chaos and when set times run long it fucks everything up. So the owner of the tour, John Reese, talked with Lemmy on his bus and asked if they could cut a couple of their songs off their set list. Lemmy politely responded,

"Fuck that, we will just play faster." 

And that's what they did. No songs were cut, they just played them faster and hit their set time. That's one of the many reasons I consider Lemmy the
God of Rock and Roll!
