The memorial service ceremony for Motörhead frontman Ian “Lemmy” Kilmister, who passed away last week, held at the Forest Lawn Memorial Park in Hollywood last night. Their drummer Mikkey Dee, Dave Grohl, Slash, Matt Sorum, Alice In Chains’ Mike Inez, Anthrax’s Scott Ian, Judas Priest’s Rob Halford, and Metallica’s Robert Trujillo, and Lars Ulrich among whose spoke. Dave Grohl tooks on the last 10-minute slot and he delivered an emotional eulogy. Grohl briefly said:
“He’s my hero. He’s the one true rock and roller that bridged my love of AC/DC, and Sabbath, and Zeppelin, with my love of GBH, the Ramones, and Black Flag. So I walked up, and said, ‘Excuse me Lemmy, I don’t want to bother you, but you’ve influenced me so much. You’re my musical hero. I’m a musician, I play in the Foo Fighters, and I was in Nirvana.’ He looked up to me from the video game, and the first think he ever said to me, he said, ‘I’m sorry about your friend Kurt.’”
