Drummer MIKKEY DEE Plays MOTÖRHEAD Hits With BUTCHER BABIES, STONE SOUR, DANZIG Members; Video Posted

On Wednesday, January 13th, Motörhead drummer Mikkey Dee paid tribute to his late bandmate Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister at the first Ultimate Jam Night of 2016, at Lucky Strike in Hollywood.

Mickey performed alongside an all-star lineup including Carla Harvey (Butcher Babies), Ira Black (Death Division), Christian Martucci (Stone Sour), Jason Christopher (Prong, Corey Taylor) and Todd Youth (Danzig). Check out some video footage below:

When Motörhead legend Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister died on December 28th at the age of 70 following a brief battle with an aggressive cancer, the music world lost an icon and a true originator of heavy metal. Pete Saari of the Eden Prairie-based company Foreverence hand-delivered a custom-made urn that Kilmister’s family enlisted him to make for his ashes.

"What an honor to have worked on this piece," says Saari. "Todd, Shelly and family allowed us full creative freedom to make something remarkable. Our condolences to the Kilmister family — we’re honored we could create a rockin' tribute."

According to the StarTribune, customized with 3-D printing technology (typical cost: $2,500-$3,000), the urn was pure Lemmy, made of all-black ceramic-like material shaped like his trademark black cavalry hat, with his Ace of Spades tattoo underneath and the lyrics, “Born to lose / Lived to win.”

The urn will be on permanent display in a columbarium at Forest Lawn Cemetery in Hollywood.

Lemmy has been immortalized in the form of a character in Grand Theft Auto V, reports MalaymailOnline.

Lemmy is now a character in the game. Players can take on his persona, riding around town on a Harley, causing chaos and using keyboard shortcuts for actions such as drinking, smoking, playing the guitar and “spawning hookers”. Check out the video below:

Lemmy has joined the ranks of Arnold Palmer, Bellini, Shirley Temple and Tom Collins. Food & Beverage Magazine has officially named the industry standard call-out drink of Jack & Coke to “The Lemmy” in honor of Motörhead legend Lemmy Kilmister’s favorite drink, which he made famous on the Sunset Strip at The Rainbow Bar and Grill.

“We are honored to represent the industry and bring the moniker, “The Lemmy” to every bar in the world!”, exclaims Food and Beverage Magazine Publisher, Michael Politz. “Owning a rock club with Anthrax’s Scott Ian and Alice In Chains’ Jerry Cantrell gave me the chance to meet Lemmy and experience his legend myself.”

On January 9th, the world came together to celebrate the life of Lemmy Kilmister at Forest Lawn Memorial Cemetery in Hollywood, California.

With almost almost 300,000 watching on YouTube and millions more thinking about a man that changed the face of heavy metal. Manager Todd Singerman led the ceremony: “Man, I hate using these words in past tense!”

He proceeded to pass the mic to Lemmy’s son Paul: “He had a feeling something was wrong in August. We will know the pain he was in … all of his years he was a stage warrior. Having moved mount everest, the show would go on. He wasn’t just a musician and songwriter … he was a figurehead. He set the bar. It was about keeping it real. Performing was everything to him. He was Lemmy all the time. He wasn’t a poseur. He paid his his dues. Motörhead’s last album was a struggle … it never revealed his frailed health. Born to lose, live to win. He wasn’t religious, but he was profoundly spiritual. He never tolerated anybody talking over music … especially his! Music wasn’t a background to him. Nobody on this earth posed his brand of of humour. He was 100% real. I won the lottery when I got Lemmy. You were perfect. You are on the road to the great great gig in the sky.”

The elite of heavy metal praised the man, the legend, the icon.

Guns N' Roses Slash: “Lemmy was somebody that I feel blessed to be friends with. He was such a a fucking great example of what my peers wanted to be. More integrity than anybody. 100 loyal. All these fine attributes. When I got sober he was so disappointed when I didn’t greet him with a flask of Jack Daniels!”

Judas Priest's Rob Halford: “Over the years we’ve had some amazing times. We always looked forward to seeing the lads! When I was in the the presence of lord Lemmy. I was overwhelmed! As we know, the music lives forever!”

Anthrax' Scott Ian : “Elvis you taught us how to dress, how to look. It was Carl Perkins and Little Richard how to sound. And it was The Beatles who taught us we could to write our own songs. And Lemmy it was you who taught us that we could be fucking real.”

Metallica's Lars Ulrich: “I lived and breathed every note they sang! Lemmy was so hospitable and the ultimate party host. I’ve always cited Motorhead and Lemmy as in the inspiration and the primary reason Metallica exists musically and attitude wise. So thank you Lemmy for shaping who I am today.

Foo Fighter's Dave Grohl: “There is not enough time to tell you what Lemmy meant to me. He’s my person … he’s the one that bridged my love of ACDC and Sabbath and Zeppelin … and my love with GBH, the Ramones and Black Flag.

Lemmy Kilmister died on December 28th at the age of 70 following a brief battle with an aggressive cancer.
