About this listen

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, and as a member of Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind. In 1975, he went on to create speed metal and form the legendary band Motörhead. During their long history, they released over 20 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 Motörhead 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.

Critic reviews

"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)

Badly narrated. Very badly read, so very badly read. Disappointing, shame as the book is great.

Read the book.

Poorly read, should have been a male reader, the guy is a Brit FGS, not a female American with a rather monotonous tone, I though she was AI with some of the pronunciations she came out with...shame realm as the content was good B-

Not a clue as to why they chose a young American girl to do this audiobook.
Her betray of an English accent sounds more Eastern European

Lemmy, as demonstrated by this book, famously didn’t tolerate ignorance or bullshit.

So there’s a massive irony in hearing legendary stories butchered by this female narrator whose delivery verges from lazily illiterate (what is ‘public’ hair? Rolling Stones’ afterparty at the SAVORY hotel anyone? Adeline: a city in South Australia) to insulting (bet Dave Vanian and Lars Ulrich are well pleased with the constant mispronunciation of their names).

The stories are fascinating and hugely significant to those of us who revere Lemmy.

But - really - was the only narrator an American woman (offering references to London’s river ‘fames’, a place called Edin-berg and ChisWICK Records) they could get?

My cat’s called Lemmy - she’d do a better job.

Spinning in his grave or enjoying the laugh?
