In the new issue of Metal Hammer, we celebrate the one and only Lemmy Kilmister. On the 10th anniversary of his death, and his band’s 50th anniversary, his Motorhead bandmates and friends remember the man, the music and the myth.

Saxon’s Biff Byford first met Lemmy in 1979, when his band supported Motorhead on the Bomber tour. While the band were heavily into speed, he says there were hidden depths to Lemmy.
