Nearly a year later, we’re carrying on just fine and doing our best to preserve his legacy and the legacies of the rock legends that followed in the weeks and months after his death and next month brings the official announcement as to the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame’s Class of 2017 and with it, sweet vindication for bands like Journey and Yes who have been eligible for the Hall for years. With the news of our new inductees just on the horizon, Metallica’s James Hetfield firmly believes that the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame is missing one – err, two – crucial inductees: Motörhead and by proxy, Lemmy.
Calling Lemmy his ‘idol’ and lamenting his ‘immortal one’ actually being mortal, Hetfield is lobbying to see Lemmy inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame and laid out his reasoning in the simplest terms – terms that no one can disagree with: “There’s no more rock and roll person on this planet than Lemmy and Motörhead.” While we’re inclined to believe that Lemmy would brush off a Rock Hall induction as industry nonsense that he wanted nothing to do with, there’s something sweet about imagining his legacy being properly celebrated, his hat, bass, boots and a bottle of Jack Daniels adorning the Rock Hall alongside Elvis Presley’s jumpsuits and handwritten Beatles lyrics.

From the unique way that lead singer Lemmy sings upright into the microphone, the umlaut over the second letter ö and their biker look, Motörhead may be more recognizable visually than audibly by those whom are unfamiliar with the British rockers. Of course, fans of Motörhead could never confuse them with anyone else. Motörhead proved to be a little bit different than other Heavy Metal bands of the 70’s. Staying true to their Rock and Roll roots, they still managed to push Rock’s boundaries by engineering a faster style which would be dubbed Speed Metal. This rapid style of play gathered the respect of the Punk community, a rarity for any Rock band as Punk was a reaction to the established Rock scene. Of course, establishment was something that Motörhead never worried about regardless of what form it took. Pushing their brand o speed metal, that still resonated today, Motörhead is considered by some to be the most influential heavy metal band of all time. This has not been reflected by the voters, but the 2020 nomination does help.
