I love biographies of rock stars and Lemmy was certainly one of the worlds biggest rock stars. White Line Fever was a relatively quick read and one that I greatly enjoyed.
It's not so much that there are fewer tales of rock and roll excess here its more a case that they are slipped into the story so casually you take them all in your stride - there are plenty of hilarious over the top tales and incidents - but the books main focus is music making recording and touring.
Lemmy doesn't focus much on his personal life, aside from his childhood years so I didn't feel that I learned much about him - but I did learn a lot about Motorhead!
This was a great book written in a very relatable style. It was almost like sitting down and having someone talk to you over a drink (or should I say drinks?)
It is written in a very sardonic humorous way and there were lots of genuinely LOL moments. I enjoyed immensely the very unique perspective that Lemmy had on life and his vision of various things.
I absolutely loved reading this. They don't make rockstars like they used to that's for sure...
