Synopsis: The heaviest drinking, most oversexed speed freak in the music business tells his story: &“An emblem of rock &’n&’ roll endurance.&” —The New York Times Ian 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. Lemmy 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. During their long history, they released over twenty albums, were 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 was always firmly at the helm. White 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.
