Slipknot's Corey Taylor Remembers Lemmy Kilmister in Poignant Note

FUSE TV - Slipknot's Corey Taylor Remembers Lemmy Kilmister in Poignant Note

Lemmy Kilmister's death has radiated through all generations and genres of the rock community – with artists from Ozzy Osbourne to Dave Grohl paying their respects. Now Slipknot frontman Corey Taylor has saluted the Motörhead legend in a poignant post for The Guardian.

Taylor opens by chronicling his life-altering first encounter with Motörhead's gut-punching 1980 classic "Ace of Spades," which he heard during the British sitcom The Young Ones. "The guitars were smuggling razor blades, the drums were pummelling and through it all … there was Lemmy Kilmister, playing bass and straining his neck to sing into the mic that always seemed a little too high, until you realized it was just right," he writes. "I sat transfixed, unable to describe what I was seeing or hearing, and unable to understand why I loved it instantly. But it didn’t matter if I didn’t understand. I just knew it kicked ass."
