White Line Fever: The Autobiography - Janiss Garza

Descriere White Line Fever: The Autobiography - Janiss Garza

Now reissued for the first time since its original nearly 20 years ago, the bestselling autobiography of Motörhead singer and bassist Lemmy is the headbanging true story of a rock legend whose name was synonymous with notorious excess. White Line Fever offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, highly entertaining ride with the frontman of the loudest rock band in history. Motörhead stand firm as conquerors of the rock world, their history spanned an incredible forty years and while the Motörhead line-up saw many changes, Lemmy was always the soul of the machine. In the words of drummer Mikkey Dee, Lemmy was Motörhead. \nIan Fraser Kilmister was born on Christmas Eve, 1945. Learning from an early age that chicks really do appreciate a guy with a guitar, and inspired by the music of Elvis and Buddy Holly, Lemmy quickly outgrew his local bands in Wales, choosing instead to head to Manchester to experience everything he could get his hands on. And he never looked back. \n \nLemmy tripped through his early career with the Rocking Vicars, backstage touring with Jimi Hendrix, as a member of Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind. In 1975, he went on to create speed metal and form the legendary band Motorhead. \n \nDuring their twenty-seven-year history, Motorhead has released 21 albums, been nominated for a Grammy, and conquered the rock world with such songs as Ace of Spades, Bomber, and Overkill. Throughout the creation of this impressive discography, the Motorhead lineup has seen many changes, but Lemmy has always been firmly at the helm. \n \nWhite Line Fever, a headbanging tour of the excesses of a man being true to his music and his pleasures, offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, but always highly entertaining ride with the frontman of the loudest rock band in the world.\n
