During a recent appearance on the Metallica Report, Metallica frontman James Hetfield expressed his dismay that the iconic Lemmy Kilmister has not yet been inducted into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. In a heartfelt tribute, Hetfield revealed that he had recently gotten a new tattoo, which used Lemmy’s ashes, a permanent symbol of his respect and admiration for the leader of Motorhead.
Hetfield's words were poignant while describing the artwork:
“The Iron Cross and the ace of the spades. Lemmy is able to still fly the bird to the world via me. And just a reminder of what an inspiration he has been in my life – what to do, and what not to do.”
In regards to Motorhead’s exclusion from the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, Hetfield stated:
“The most rock and roll lifestyle living person on this planet is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, a shame. It’s kind of a disrespect to rock and roll, basically.”
In our most recent (though not yet updated to reflect the 2024 inductees and 2025 eligible acts) Motorhead was ranked #17 of those to consider for the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame.
