The carillon in Oslo, Norway’s City Hall bell tower is paying tribute to Motörhead frontman Lemmy Kilmister by playing the band’s song “Electricity” every day at 6 PM from January 7 until June 1.
Video footage of Oslo City Hall's Lemmy tribute can be seen below (courtesy of Aftenposten).
Oslo's 49-bell carillon has long been a traditional part of daily life in the Norwegian capital, chiming on the quarter-hour and also playing an occasional concert. It is situated in Pipervika in central downtown Oslo.
According to the Associated Press, a Finnish dairy company has released a commercial featuring Motorhead frontman Ian "Lemmy" Kilmister that was filmed just weeks before his death in December.
The 40-second spot which can be viewed below is a remake of a 1990s Valio milk ad well known in Finland.
The new version shows Kilmister exiting a gas station, turning to the camera and saying, "I don't drink milk, and never will … you asshole.”
It was filmed in Helsinki in early December just hours ahead of a Motorhead concert.
Valio changed the spot to make it a tribute to Kilmister after he died of cancer on December 28 in Los Angeles.
“This was a magical encounter with a great man and were honored to share with the world."
Valio said Kilmister's managers approved it.
