White Line Fever (Lemmy's Autobiography)

Just Read it and gotta say a brilliant read. He said some interesting random stuff like he thinks Randy Rhoads is OVERRATED which I disagree hes still is one of my favourite guitar players. He knew Lars Ulrich before he formed MetallicA and he taught Sid Vicious from Sex Pistols how to play bass and how crazy Phil Animal Taylor is The only thing gets boring is the last 60 pages it gets a little repetitive like goes on his feuds with the promoters Record Companys Execs etc.
Anyway if you can get it READ IT and if you have read it what do you think of it?

I have been meaning to track down this book. I love music bio's and Lemmy's had one hell of an interesting life, I'm sure it's a great read.

The book IS an amazing read. It totally dips in you in Lemmy's world and his attitude towards things - which at times can a bit annoying but nevertheless makes for an exciting and fun read. Reccomended!

Lemmy is brain dead if he thinks Rhoads is overrated and to top it off Sid Vicious couldn't play bass so it's nothing to brag about. I suppose Fast Eddie Clarke was a genius on guitar...

I would love to read that book, and Johnny Rotten and Steve Jones both confirm the story of Lemmy teaching Sid Vicious to play bass, unfortunetly Sid took up with Nancy and heroin making him useless not just as a musician but as a human being so on the classic 'Never Mind the Bollocks' that is Steve Jones playing bass.

Like Freddy said Lemmy has had an interesting life and I would love to read this book.

Great read. I devoured that book in only a couple of days. It was like sitting at Lemmy's feet listening to him tell tales of the last 40 years.

Great book

cool, I didn't even realize this was out; will definitely have to track down a copy.

I have this. Like Ult stated, it's a cool quick read. When you read it, it's like you're sitting in a pub, knocking back a few pints while Lemmy is telling some stories. Nothing too deep or real shocking revelations but a good read nonetheless.

Yes, i agree. A great book. Also the book by the singer of SAXON is great.

It's an excellent book!

I had no idea about this but am very interested in it. Thanks for the info.

I heard he also wrote another autobiography is that true?

Amazon has it on sale right now for around $10.
