2010’s Lemmy showed the metal forefather in a light few could possibly imagine and it’s floating around on the internet right now.

Born in the UK in 1945 and dead as of yesterday afternoon, the former frontman of Motörhead, Hawkwind, and a number of other acts, Ian Fraser “Lemmy” Kilmister played bass and sang like the Devil. He fucked, he drank, he lived life like a true rock star, and managed to do it for 70 years.

The 2010 movie Lemmy did a great job capturing some of these details with interviews with the man himself, as well as time spent behind the scenes as he performed with everyone from Dave Dave Grohl, Alice Cooper, Joan Jett, and lots and lots of other musical heavy weights.

Filled with anecdotes and great studio and live performances, check out the movie in its entirety below:
