Another iconic figure in the rock world and one of the most influential heavy metal figures of all time. With Lemmy, it was always more about the man than the musician. And that should not be considered a slight on his professional work. One of the true characters in all of heavy metal, Lemmy was the driving force behind Motorhead, which had a major influence on the likes of Metallica and Slayer. While his image as a chain-smoking, joke-telling, foul-mouthed living-life-my-way persona made him a star, Lemmy’s bass playing was nothing to cast off. He infused high-powered distortion to his bass and had just as many amps on stage as Motorhead’s guitarist.
