The filmmaker

For journalist, photographer and ultimate punk Mörat, Lemmy was a supportive friend and, at times, a father figure.

Classic Rock writer, former Zigzag editor and Motörhead biographer Kris Needs was also Lemmy’s neighbour in London’s Notting Hill, as he recalls here.

As the undisputed leader of Motörhead, Ian Fraser Kilmister led an extraordinary life. In this candid interview from 2002, he explained what he learned… about women and men, drugs, violence, religion, rock’n’roll, and cooking the perfect dinner for one.

Dan Hawcroft was Lemmy’s PA, road manager to Motörhead, all-round good mate and “designated driver” in the band’s latter days.

Nik Moore, Lemmy’s right-hand man for more than 20 years, reflects on a partnership that was never, ever boring.

In 1975, behind the kit was Lucas Fox, who bonded with Lemmy over Monty Python and MC5, speed and Special Brew.
