Motörhead formed in London in 1975, built around the unmistakable Lemmy Kilmister on bass and vocals. Fast, loud, and completely uncompromising, they helped lay the foundations of heavy metal as we know it.
Lemmy was the one constant through decades of lineup changes, and his presence defined everything about the band. Tracks like Ace of Spades, Overkill, Bomber, and Iron Fist remain some of the most recognisable songs in rock history.
Over 20 studio albums and millions of records sold later, Motörhead's influence on heavy metal is hard to overstate. Bands across every corner of the genre owe something to them.
Lemmy passed away in December 2015, but the music hasn't lost any of its edge. Shop the Motörhead range at Teerex and find a tee that does the legend justice.
