R.I.P. Ian Fraser „Lemmy“ Kilmister (December 25 1945 – December 28 2015)
I wanted to put down condolence at Möterhead website. But, then I have to go to social media that I avoid. I use this space give condense to Lemmy.
I know Lemmy when he was with Hawkwind sung „Silver Machine“ when I was in London, we hang around together.
He was „a speed freak“
Last time I saw him was end of 70’s, he contacted us (I and my former wife) invited us for Möterhead concert at Philips Halle, Düsseldorf where I lived that period when I had no contact to music. He proudly showed me his airplane that he arranged for his stage attraction. Music was loud, the hall was shaking……
I was informed he is ill for long time.
70 is not old that one have to leave.
He is in many people’s memory.
I had very short time of his life in contact.
I’m pleased to inform you Facebook platform of “Neverending”
The platform opened by Francesco Di Loreto, the director of above mentioned documentation film about Damo Suzuki’s Network.
“Neverending” is 80 minutes documentation film directed by Francesco Di Loreto.
There is live documentation around the world and interviews done by Damo and friends. Some times Francesco and his assistant Samantha Vecchiattini travelled together with Damo, Italy, Germany and Japan. Also this is collaborated with materials from all over the world. You might see this movie somewhere near to you in near future.

Hi, I didn’t contact you for quite a while.
I didn’t inform you that I’m ill.
Stayed three months in hospital for very difficult operation.
No worries hard period is gone, I’m getting everyday better,
So, I had to cancel scheduled shows.
I don’t know when I’m able to back on the road again where I feel most comfortable.
I might don’t see you for long time.
But, I’ll back.
Wish you every good thing come and happen and make you happy in year 2015!
When I heard pass of Stefan Krachten, I myself was in coma for weeks.
I feel sad that I couldn’t show up for his last.
He left us on September 14th 2014.
Stefan Krachten was one of young musician who brought me back to make music again in 1983 after my first cancer operation.
He, the drummer invited me to join Dunkelziffer.
We played three years together, released 2 Vinyls, a single and a compact vinyl, also later a live CD.
We had many good times together.
Before he passed he played in Blue Shell, Cologne, I had opportunity to see him with Goldman around a few months ago.
He was long time not healable ill and last years most of times he had to spend on his bed wasn’t mobile.
Still he wasn’t weak, performed sometimes and produced his own and other artist recordings.
Stefan forever.
Sincere Condolences to his family and his loved ones.
I heard this sad news yesterday.
Neil was a drummer of the Window Right from Huddersfield, UK.
I made 4 performances with the Window Right.
Now I’m remembering him to be together with him this moment.
Please listen this while you’re reading this message,
I was informed, his loved ones played this at his funeral… it’ a beautiful song.
Long before I met the Window Right for first time, I’ve got their CDR, someone handed to me after the show (I guess in London?) That period, I used to carry CD/Rs that I like everywhere I go, listen together with local friends or used as a prelude before or after Network performance. Since first I listened to Window Right I liked so much, so it became one of my collection of CD/R travelling kit.
First time I met Neil with the Window Right on Friday January 27th 2006, they’re a supporting band that night. At back stage, I spoke with them and showed my CD/R travelling kit, then they found their CDR there. Even I was forgetting that I’ve the Window Right in my collection until they say we’re the Window Right you have in your collection. We both’re happy to know each other. Local organiser Ned Netherwood was living that time in Huddersfield and he reviewed on his web.
First time I heard them live, even I liked much more than CDR and we both promised to perform next time in Huddersfield together.
Ned arranged next Network performance in Huddersfield with Window Right on Saturday 7th April 2007 at The Parish [the Cornerhouse changed name], along with Neil Campbell/Astral Social Club.
Year later I performed with them on Thursday 13 November 2007 Leeds Brudenel Social Club
Ned moved to Hebdon Bridge, one of my favourite space in UK.
He arranged the show with Neil and the Window Right again on Saturday 31 July 2010 Trades Club in Hebden Bridge
I had opportunity to perform in London on Tuesday 23 March 2010 @ Hoxton Square Bar & Kitchen. I asked them if they like to perform with me.
They’re really happy to perform first time in London.
How I can say, I’m really shocked and sad, lost of my lovely sound carrier.
He was with us for only 34 years.
I can remember clearly, we had good time together and create time and space of the moment.
Neil forever.
Sincere Condolences to his family and his loved ones.
