Thinking Out Loud: The Wit and Wisdom of Lemmy

by Paul Brannigan

Celebrating the incredible life of the ageless, warty front man from the loudest band in the world, this surprising biography reveals the remarkably lucid, trenchant, cynical and well-read wit of Lemmy from Motörhead. From musings on his childhood, his penchant for whiskey, his philosophy on life, age and libido, and being a rock icon, this intriguing memoir unearths the man behind the legend—one who can engage with learning and authority on anything from the history of the Third Reich, to the novels of P. G. Wodehouse, and all matters equestrian. Filled with a compilation of his finest bon mots, apophthegms, and musings in the bottom of a glass of Jack Daniels, this revelatory peek into the mind—and occasional madness—of an iconic rock god is essential for fans of Motörhead and music alike.

Lemmy is a wit, no doubt. But as frontman of Motörhead, he gives out some very good advice regarding his rock-and-roll lifestyle. While everything is shrouded in humour, Lemmy knows his trade very well.
