Happy Birthday today (Dec. 24) to Motorhead mainman Lemmy Kilmister who turns 70.

Lemmy is the singer, bassist and founder of Motorhead. The band was formed in 1975 and were known as one of the early bands of the New Wave of British Heavy Metal movement of the late 1970's and early 1980's. They are best known for the 1980 song "Ace of Spades".

Lemmy has been plagued by health problems in recent years which has resulted in frequent concert cancellations. The band's latest studio album "Bad Magic" was released on the UDR label this past summer (Aug. 28) and it includes a cover of the Rolling Stones classic, "Sympathy for the Devil". If you’ve never seen the documentary Lemmy, you must see it! It’s an interesting look into the life of this hard rockin’ legend with cameos from Dave Grohl, Slash, Ozzy, Metallica and many more.
