RIP Lemmy.

Our tribute to Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister of Motorhead:

A song by  Motorhead - Stay Clean

 

Where would we be without Lemmy? Early on Motorhead was called the worst band ever, bacause of their fast but simple music. Style that inspired thrash metal bands that formed in early 80s. Known from being the loudest band on earth, Motohead became one of the greatest metal bands on earth. Lemmy was big part of this success. With his gavelly voice and bass that incorporated double stops and chords, he was one of a kind.

Rest In Peace mister Lemmy, we will never forget you.

@@slooker  Your bass guitar is a bit big for competition, but look good for you   :)

Bad side that your score not accepted, bcs of on screen dropped bars (yellow), sorry.

No worries.  I don't think with my score I'm winning anyways. :)  I just wanted to get back into the competition.  I'll get the screenshot right next time

@@slooker that upright is amazing! You look great playing it, I'd love an upright but I don't think I have the room (though there is a big space on my upstairs landing... Hmmm :) .) great video :D.

It's a ton of fun!  They're expensive, but an absolute blast.  If you can manage the space, do it!  And thanks for the compliments!

Can someone convert the Megadeth song to Mac for me?  I'm getting "Thread Exception", repeatedly, even on my more reliable version of the Tool. :(

 

Bugger.  I'm on the wrong thread. :(

Tiny improvement
