A Lemmy Kilmister solo career might sound a bit silly on paper. From 1977 up until his 2015 death, he was the sole figurehead and creative leader of Motörhead, so wasn’t he already following his own muse? But, while Stoke-On-Trent’s rowdiest child may have fuelled one of hard rock’s ferocious forces through 22 albums, he did have a desire to make music under his own name. That desire was so strong, in fact, that he spent the final 11 years of his life trying to make it happen.
The plans for a potential Lemmy solo album were first revealed by the mutton-chopped man himself in a 2004 Metal Maniacs interview. He told the magazine that recording was already underway, and that he was amassing an array of guest stars to appear across the record.
