Woah, got to stop you there. Motorhead have NEVER displayed any Nazi symbols onstage, on their albums or in any merchandise. Lemmy collects WWII memorabilia but it's never been a part of Motorhead's image.

No less than three Motorhead albums had a swastika on the middle horn of the logo (warpig, snagglemouth). It was airbrushed out later when distributors objected. Google is your friend.

Lemmy also played at least one Hawkwind concert with a Swastika on his headstock.

But sure, this guy doesn't show nazi paraphernalia, he just colleccts...

He's still a rock god, just not someone I'd care to ever meet.

Lemmy is an icon for hard rock.

It's all an image thing, he looks more like a !@$ pirate then a nazi if you really take it all in.

+1

I read tons of articles in guitar magazines and other music magazines, and all the hard rock guys look up to Lemmy and Motorhead as a huge influence. Crank the amp up and play straight ahead balls to the wall, rock 'n roll!! 8)
