10 Things You Didn't Know About Lemmy

2. His Rider Only Ever Needed A Bottle Of Whiskey

A 'rider' is the term given to a list of requirements any given artist would like to have ready and waiting for them in their respective dressing rooms. Guys like Axl Rose or David Lee Roth would get in the headlines over the years for all sorts of asinine requests - like Axl specifcally wanting cubes of ham, for example - but Lemmy always kept things simple. Even when coming in for his parts on Slash's first solo album from 2010, he only asked for a bag of potato chips and a bottle of Jack Daniels. An extra on Motörhead's Stage Fright DVD would see the band show off their long-time rider for all to see, and sure enough, right at the top of Lemmy's wishlist are two bottles of Jack Daniels and a 24 pack of Coca-Cola to mix it with. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=p8ZBqlA0lT0 As you can see from both his love of simple video games and the above list of meats, cakes and alcohol, Lemmy knew exactly when to turn things up and live the rockstar life, without ever letting the excesses of that get in the way of a good post-gig feast.
