Metal

Metal predates Lemmy by two decades. He really didn't change it much.

Of course it wouldn't be exactly the same, but probably not drastically different.

>Okay /mu/, settle a bet. Would Metal be the same as it is today, or even exist, without Lemmy?
Yes. I like Lemmy and Motorhead, but it wasn't exactly groundbreaking.

>>73621338
without motorhead there probably wouldn't have been a Metallica.

but then again, Ozzy Osbourne cites John Lennon as his chief role model for wanting to become a musician

so...Metal would be very different today without Motorhead, but the same can be said about the Beatles.

Who are you talking about? I ain't sayin you're wrong, I've just never heard anyone say that.

he's an idiot, Motorhead formed in 1975 which, by his estimate would mean metal started in 1955

the first Beatles release was in 1962

Metal will never be the same as it was bros

hell be fine

Metal wouldn't be the same without him or any other band/artist. You should look into the butterfly theory.

>>73621338
You should ask the same question, but with Tommy Iomi, or The Who
He pretty much started the "LOUD GUITARS CHUGGING" type of sound.

Classical composers essentially invented the 'metal' aesthetic of brutality anyway. Vivaldi's Winter is black metal, Stravinsky's Rite of Spring is Tech-Death. Paganini and Liszt are power metal.

why did we kill him again?

>>73621338
Lemmy and Motorhead were NOT, I repeat WERE NOT "Metal" or "Heavy Metal".

THEY WERE ROCK AND ROLL!

(And the same goes for AC/DC!)

>>73621338
No, it would have been exactly the same, The Stooges actually existed before that.
