About this listen

Ian Fraser Kilmister was born on Christmas Eve, 1945. Learning from an early age that chicks really do appreciate a guy with a guitar, and inspired by the music of Elvis and Buddy Holly, Lemmy quickly outgrew his local bands in Wales, choosing instead to head to Manchester to experience everything he could get his hands on. And he never looked back.

Lemmy tripped through his early career with the Rocking Vicars, backstage touring with Jimi Hendrix, and as a member of Opal Butterflies and Hawkwind. In 1975, he went on to create speed metal and form the legendary band Motörhead. During their long history, they released over 20 albums, were nominated for a Grammy, and conquered the rock world with such songs as “Ace of Spades”, “Bomber", and “Overkill”. Throughout the creation of this impressive discography, the Motörhead lineup has seen many changes, but Lemmy was always firmly at the helm.

White Line Fever, a headbanging tour of the excesses of a man being true to his music and his pleasures, offers a sometimes hilarious, often outrageous, but always highly entertaining ride with the frontman of the loudest rock band in the world.

Critic reviews

"The heaviest drinking, most oversexed speed freak in the music business tells his story: 'An emblem of rock ’n’ roll endurance.'" (The New York Times)
All stars

Lemmy, as demonstrated by this book, famously didn’t tolerate ignorance or bullshit.

So there’s a massive irony in hearing legendary stories butchered by this female narrator whose delivery verges from lazily illiterate (what is ‘public’ hair? Rolling Stones’ afterparty at the SAVORY hotel anyone? Adeline: a city in South Australia) to insulting (bet Dave Vanian and Lars Ulrich are well pleased with the constant mispronunciation of their names).

The stories are fascinating and hugely significant to those of us who revere Lemmy.

But - really - was the only narrator an American woman (offering references to London’s river ‘fames’, a place called Edin-berg and ChisWICK Records) they could get?

My cat’s called Lemmy - she’d do a better job.

Spinning in his grave or enjoying the laugh?

Badly narrated. Very badly read, so very badly read. Disappointing, shame as the book is great.

Has a Motorhead fan I was looking forward to hearing this book. Most of the book is entertaining with loads of great content and description.
The one negative point is the lady reading the book.
It’s too fast, there is loads of mispronunciations, sentences are repeated, this detracts from the book massively in my opinion. She is worse than the guy narrates Duff’s book.

Entertaining.

The narrator is awful, there are mistakes and retakes in the book, the production is all the way horrible. The book itself is great but please don't listen to this book.

The narrator and production value is unbelievably bad

Not a clue as to why they chose a young American girl to do this audiobook.
Her betray of an English accent sounds more Eastern European

Forgot to listen to the preview

Lemmy is a naturally funny guy, with loads of great anecdotes about his life in the music industry. So I knew this book would be a great ride of a story; but what I didn’t know was that a great story can be ruined by a bad narrator! An American with an inability to pronounce simple English words & names, that tries to do a mock fake English accent. Seriously?!! I felt really bad for Lemmy, who must be rolling in his grave at such an injustice. Next time I’ll read the book instead.

A Great Biography, ruined by an awful narrator!!

A good story which lets you know the history of the legend that was Lemmy. The whole thing is let down tragically by the narrator. From the change in tone/voice in the narration to the mispronunciation of names and place names to the repetition of parts.. it’s a disaster.

A decent story spoilt a good

Why the hell is this narrated by an American woman? Shite impressions and accents

Her impressions of any accent sound Nigerian

The book is fantastic and so interesting. The choice of person to read it is utterly bizarre, her impression of a British accent sounds Indian, her mispronouncing of many of the words is shameful but her inability to get people or places names right is just sloppy and inexcusable. Do not download this book if you care about words. Most of the time it seems like the lady is reading some words for the very first time. Horrible!

Terrible reader
