Gravelly voice

Songs critical of religion

Rickenbacker bass guitars

Distinguishable wart on his cheek

Hairy chest

Former roadie for Jimi Hendrix.

His instrument of choice was a Rickenbacker bass, however the logo on it was modified so that it read "Rickenbastard.".

Considered John Entwistle of The Who to be the best bass player in rock history.

Was a huge fan of Janet Jackson, and claimed that a dream of his was to record a song with her.

Only member of Motörhead to appear on every one of the band's albums.

All I wanted to do was grow up and chase girls. I knew it was coming, but I wasn't old enough. I was just waiting for rock 'n' roll to be invented.

I figure forty-five is a good age to go. Quick heart attack, something like that...or a nice, clean decapitation in a car crash.

The English have brought their government down without any guns several times. All it takes is a sex scandal. You just need a dick and a woman.

It really bothers me when I hear myself being called the one who started all this thrash shit. I think they're trying to make it a compliment, but considering some of the music I'm hearing, I don't know if it is. Motorhead never set out to start a trend - we were there to go against all the trends. The fact that we might have started something like that makes me feel a little scared.

We are Motörhead and we play Rock 'n' Roll.
