Summary: The Best Autobiography Ever
Comment: I loved this book. Not only does it tell the reader some hilarious stories of Motorheads crazy antics, it also tells us interesting facts about the music business, history, politics and not to forget drugs, sex and rock n 'roll. Some of the stories in the book were so great I ended up calling my friends and reading exerts from it. This is a must read not only for Motorhead fans, but also for any fans of rock, or music in general.
Rating: 5
Summary: Brilliant book through eyes of a legend
Comment: Lemmy Kilmister is a legend for the music, but also his attitude, like he said 'I dont drive a porsche', although he is a living legend. The book gives an great view of music through the 60's and 70's. The best thing about this book is how it gives you that knowledge of what was behind the music when they made it. You find out all those things from Lemmy, the rumours such as his poisinous blood.I flew through this book just wish there was more.

Summary: Too short!
Comment: Let me guess . . . the editors and bean counters put a limit on the word count? I could have easily read double the amount of pages on the life of this rock n roll legend and still wanted more.
Never a dull moment, though. I laughed out loud. I pondered Lemmy's wisdom. And, I learned a great deal about rock n roll--the art, the life, the philosophy, and the shady businessmen out there who exploit it.
I flew thru this book. It's hard not to admire someone like Lemmy, who is uncompromising and unapologetic. I see this man as someone who's had the guts to live life on his own terms--believing in himself and always staying true to his art.
I've been a Motorhead fan for only a short time. Only knew of them from the "Ace of Spades" video that I had first seen 20-some years ago. I always remembered the thunderous bass & drums and the searing guitar riffs. But, what I recall even more so was the frontman shouting the lyrics. "Who is that guy?" I had asked myself. The image remained in my head. But, thanks to our wonderful radio staions, driven by $$$, failing to promote bands, and ignorant of rock n roll, my image of Motorhead slowly faded.
Years later, with the Internet at my disposal, I researched this band, getting drawn to various interviews. I bought the CDs and read anything on this band that I could dig up. I wasn't disappointed--I only regretted that I hadn't checked them out years earlier. But I digress . . . coming across this book was the cherry on top of my heavy metal sundae!
The writing is terse, often humorous. Lemmy goes off on tangents, but I never minded, as I found every word interesting. Quite often, he'd tell a story, and I was left wondering, what happened after that? What did you think? Where are these people now? The interactions with other bands was particularly enjoyable, but like a drug, I still wanted more.
Anyway, Lemmy and Motorhead can count on me to be a dedicated fan, always awaiting their next CD. As for "White Line Fever" I'm reading it again. I enjoyed it that much.
Always,
Bill Kozlowski
