In "The Ace of Spades," Motorhead's iconic frontman, Lemmy, expressed a desire to live just before forever to avoid the rush. This biography tells his strange yet true story, capturing his brutally frank, painfully funny, and beautifully told journey. It chronicles the life of a rock 'n' roller who never sold his soul for fame, while keeping the devil "very close to my side." From his school days in North Wales to his rise to fame in the mid-60s with the Rockin' Vicars, Lemmy's path is filled with memorable moments. He served as Jimi Hendrix's personal roadie, famously scoring acid for him, and led Hawkwind to chart success with "Silver Machine," despite being fired for taking the wrong drugs. The formation of Motorhead, initially named Bastard, marked a significant chapter, with their album NO SLEEP 'TIL HAMMERSMITH hitting No. 1 in the UK charts. Based on extensive interviews with Lemmy by biographer Mick Wall, along with insights from friends, bandmates, and industry insiders, this biography offers an unputdownable account of one of Britain's most unique characters. Lemmy's legacy is solidified, revealing how he became a legend in rock history.
