MOTORHEAD frontman Lemmy has reassured fans that he is eternal and will never die.
Following the sad death of the bands original drummer Phil Philthy Animal Taylor, Lemmy has confirmed that he, like the music of Motorhead, will never change in any way.
He said: The black pact I made with the War-Pig in 1975 still holds. My souls long gone, but who needs that?
You are looking at someone who was thrown out of Hawkwind for doing too much drugs. If that didnt kill me, then being ground zero of a nuclear blast aint gonna to do fuck all.

If you want to know how important Phil Philthy Animal Taylor was to the development of metal, go on to YouTube. There youll find a clip from 2011 of the big four the four founders of thrash metal, Slayer, Metallica, Anthrax and Megadeth jamming together, playing the song without which they would never have had the idea to play metal at extreme velocity: Motörheads Overkill.
James Hetfield of Metallica dedicates the song to Lemmy, but it wasnt Lemmy who made this song what those bands aspired to, it was Phil Taylor, who has died aged 61. Specifically, it was Taylors double time kick-drum pattern. When the song was released in 1979 it came out as a single on 10 March 1979, a fortnight before the album of the same name it was a lightbulb moment for a score of young metalheads and musicians. Hey! We thought Communication Breakdown was fast but thats nothing. This is playing fast.

Dave Lombardo of Slayer says it was Phil Taylor's drumming on the song "Overkill" that gave him the idea to play double bass drums.
