Looks like he won't be killing any more misters.

I was expecting you to say he was killed by death as the tasteless Motorhead pun.

Agreed, BB King, Shawn Price, Scott Weiland, Wes Craven, Ornette Coleman, damn so many great people were lost this year

Funny story, was at the store with a friend when we saw the Motorhead albums. He bought a copy of Ace of Spades and told me to buy something. I told him I shouldn't be spending money on things like this right after Christmas. One hour later, Lemmy was dead…..This day sucked.

I confess I was never a big Motorhead fan, more of a casual fan who only knew of a small few songs like Ace of Spades and the theme music for Triple H, but that still sucks to hear. Another one of the "old guard" of classic heavy metal is gone, but at least he managed to live a long life, and he helped influence many other musicians, so he did leave behind a nice legacy.

Lemmy Koopa from the Mario series was actually named after him since the NoA localization team (who were the ones who named the Koopalings, in Japan they were originally nameless) at the time were huge into metal and punk bands that were big in the 1980s, so even in the realm of video games, which is the one I'm much more familiar with, he's got a lasting legacy there with a well known character.

(ignore the logo in the corner of this picture, it's the only picture I could find of Lemmy Koopa and Lemmy Kilmister side-by-side)
