The incredible true story of a rock legend. . . Lemmy’s name was synonymous with notorious excess: his blood would have killed another human being. This is the story of the heaviest drinking, oversexed speed freak in the music business. Updated after Lemmy’s untimely death in 2016, White Line Fever offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, highly entertaining ride with the frontman of (what was) 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.’ From playing with local bands in Wales, his early career with the Rocking Vicars, backstage touring with Hendrix, and his time with Hawkwind to creating speed metal and forming the legendary band Motörhead, this is the truly epic finale, and tribute, to Lemmy from those who loved him best.

Reading this was like having a beer with Lemmy himself. It’s loud, it’s funny, and totally unapologetic. If you’re a rock or metal fan, this is like your backstage pass to some wild stories... There are pranks, there’s drama, and a raw look at the chaos of the music world. I could hear Lemmy’s voice in my head while reading this. If you’re a Motorhead fan, you have to read this. But even if you’re not, you might still be entertained by his over-the-top personality. You will get a little lost in all the band names and references, but maybe it’s worth it.
