Motorhead fans will be pleased to hear that Lemmy, the alcoholic,
wart-covered frontman from the legendary British Metal band, will be
releasing his autobiography in November via Simon & Schuster, entitled
\"WHITE LINE FEVER\".
From Imotorhead.com:
White Line Fever is the autobiography of the front man of the loudest
rock band ever. Motorhead are the most outrageous and excessive heavy
metal band in the history of rock music and their drugged and
drink-sodden antics make compulsive reading. Told with Lemmy's
indomitable charisma and humour, this is Lemmy's story in his own
words: a rock icon who over the past thirty years in the industry has
stayed true to his music, his fans and his pleasures.
Lemmy was born Ian Fraser Kilmister in Stoke-on-Trent in 1945, the son
of a vicar who walked out on his mother when the boy was just three
months old. Inspired by Little Richard and Buddy Holly, Lemmy formed
what would become the ultimate metal group in 1975 and named them
Motorhead. The group went on to embrace a rock-and-roll lifestyle
fuelled by drink, drugs and women, and in the process recorded
nineteen albums and attracted a huge following. After a brief spell in
the early '90s when the band fell from grace in Britain, Motorhead are
back with a vengeance, gathering more fans and getting great reviews
for their latest album Hammered.
Lemmy is a survivor, a rock-legend who has been there and seen it all.
At 57, few could claim with any conviction to have taken more drugs,
drunk more bourbon or entertained more women than Motorhead's lead
singer. In this autobiography, Lemmy relates his tales of unbridled
excess in his unpretentious, hugely entertaining style and ruminates
on what has kept Motorhead going after 22 years.
WHITE LINE FEVER is a truly head banging tour through the last few
decades of speed metal, offering a sometimes hilarious, often
outrageous, but highly entertaining trip with the front man of the
loudest rock band in the world.
