Ian Fraser "Lemmy" Kilmister (born 24 December 1945) is an English rock musician. He is best known as the lead vocalist, bassist, principal songwriter and the founding and sole constant member of the heavy metal band Motörhead as well as a former member of Hawkwind. He is also known for his appearance, including his friendly mutton chops, prominent facial moles, and gravelly voice. == Early life == Lemmy was born on Christmas Eve in the Burslem area of Stoke-on-Trent, Staffordshire.〔Kilmister, Ian Fraser and Garza, Janiss, ''White Line Fever'', Simon & Schuster, 2002 ISBN 0-684-85868-1 p.5〕〔(Lemmy: White Line Fever ) ''BBC News Stoke and Staffordshire article''. Retrieved on 22 August 2014.〕 When Lemmy was three months old, his father, an ex-Royal Air Force chaplain, separated from his mother. His mother and grandmother settled in Newcastle-under-Lyme, then moved on to Madeley. When Lemmy was 10, his mother married former footballer George Willis, who already had two older children from a previous marriage, Patricia and Tony, with whom Lemmy did not get along. The family moved to a farm in Benllech, Anglesey, North Wales, with Lemmy later commenting on his time there, that "funnily enough, being the only English kid among 700 Welsh ones didn’t make for the happiest time – but it was interesting from an anthropological point of view". He attended Ysgol Syr Thomas Jones school in Amlwch, where he was nicknamed Lemmy, although he is unsure why; it would later be claimed that the name originated from the phrase "lemmy (me ) a quid 'til Friday" because of his habit of borrowing money from people to feed his addiction to slot machines.〔〔''Motorhead Videobiography'' (Double DVD with 48-page book) Edgehill Publishing Ltd., June 2007 ISBN 978-1-905954-38-4〕 He soon started to show an interest in rock and roll music, girls, and horses. Leaving school and with the family relocated in Conwy, he undertook menial jobs including working at the local Hotpoint factory while also playing guitar for local bands, such as The Sundowners, and spending time at a horse riding school. At the age of 17, he met a holidaying girl called Cathy and he followed her to Stockport where she had his son, Sean, who was put up for adoption.〔 Lemmy saw The Beatles perform at the Cavern Club when he was 16, and then played guitar along to their first album ''Please Please Me''. He also admired the sarcastic attitude of the group, particularly that of John Lennon. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Lemmy」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
