Highly recommended
Very amusing
autobiography
of this legendary rocker. He's very candid explaining his sex, drugs, and rock and roll lifestyle.
Humorous and honest look at a metal icon's life
Lemmy Kilmister is a rock or metal god, depending on whether a fan considers Motorhead metal, or extremely hard nasty rock and roll, ala AC/DC. I, for one, don't see the problem mixing the two, but on a microscopic level, there is a slight difference. mainly in a slightly less restrictive workplace for the hard rockers.
Nonetheless, Lemmy, who has said he hated the term "heavy metal", praises it in "
White
Line
Fever
", and contends that metal is the true spirit of rock and roll. I agree. Perhaps the calling cards of metal, loud guitars and attitude, are much closer in kin to the early rock years than many people would care to admit. And who can argue with the fact that metal bands have much longer life spans than most other performers? Motorhead are in their fourth decade, and still make rock that is offensive, loud and full of joy for the sake of itself.
Lemmy is a quintessential spokesman - he is blunt, honest in his recalling of his own drug habits, and intelligent. Say what you will about his habits, but he truly knows who he is, and for that one can take notice.
"White Line Fever" is a good view into the road life of a hard working band and its leader. Along with "12 Days On The Road", the excellent transcription of the Sex Pistols' infamous first American tour in 1977, one of the best books about rock in all its sloppy glory. A must read.

Absolute MUST for any Motorhead!!!
I'm 65 pages deep into my second read.. And Lemme tell ya, Lemmy is hilarious... and truthful. No BS, tell it like is, shoot from the hip storytelling and I bet the guy is just awesome to know in person. Lemmy is my biggest inspiration as a guitar player, and in his own words, his street cred truly is "impeccable". He's been there and done that, was there for the birth of Rock and Roll, he's lived it... Lemmy is the patron Saint of Rock and Roll... If you are a fan of Motorhead, read THIS Now!!!
Great Book from a living Legend!! A must read for all Motorhead fans.
I loved this book. A very fun read about sex, drugs, and rock n roll!! Lemmy is a classic. Buy it.

Lemmy is 'the dude'
Reading this book gave me an image of spending an afternoon or two with Lemmy while he rattles a steady stream of anecdotes, jokes and witty observations. Thoroughly entertaining and a definite page-turner, Lemmy is one of those characters that keeps U interested no matter what the subject matter. Anyone looking for a detailed biography of Lemmy or even Motorhead might be a little disappointed, however U will get a good feel for what Lemmy is all about.
