Lemmy and Motorhead frontman/songwriter is credited with introducing punk sounds into the heavy metal mix, paving the way for a generation of thrash metal and speed metal followers. Lemmy was a one-off who walked it like he talked it and while he embodied the rock 'n' roll lifestyle up until his death, his influence as a musician and songwriter should not be underestimated.
