1975 gründete er Motörhead und schrieb mit der Band Musikgeschichte. Für viele nachkommende Künstler galt Lemmy Kilmister als Inspiration und Idol. Musiker-Kollegen zeigen sich schockiert und traurig über den Tod des Mannes, der in seiner Musik ewig leben wird.
So reagieren Freunde und Kollegen auf den Tod von Lemmy:
Legends never die. Lemmy, we owe you everything. Rock in Peace.

Lost one of my best friends, Lemmy, today. He will be sadly missed. He was a warrior and a legend. I will see you on the other side.
