I've seen a few documentaries about Lemmy. Such a legend. In one of them he was saying that Hawkwind got rid of him due to his drug use. He said it was because he was using the "wrong type of drugs" according to them. He was into speed, whilst they were all into acid.
He built a whole new life for himself by moving to LA and just hanging out in one particular bar. He didnt do anything else or go anywhere else. I can't remember the name of the bar but it was a 'rockstar' hangout. That's all he needed as the hub for his life. He'd just sit at the bar and people like Dave Grohl would want to hang out with him. That could have just been set up for the documentary, but it really didn't seem like it was.
A very down to earth and level headed guy. Very little ego at all, talked a lot of sense, and never forgot his working class roots.
@Zopiclone bandit . I heard that the buzz off each of those nitrous canisters only lasts 10 seconds. Is this true?
