John Lennon: 31 years ago today

On this day 31 years ago, John Lennon was murdered outside of his apartment in New York.  He was shot in the back four times by a man named Mark David Chapman (oddly enough, he happened to get John Lennon‘s autograph earlier in the evening).  Mark David Chapman was sentenced 20 years to life and, to this day, still remains in prison

John Lennon is, without question, one of the biggest names is music history.  He wasn’t a metal musician but he and the rest of The Beatles influenced countless and countless of artists from many different musical genres.

He was a great songwriter that composed many classics over the years.  R.I.P.

This kid is going to make it

Get this kid a record deal.

Lemmy says Lennon was an asshole

Lemmy seems to have an opinion on everybody, including the late John Lennon.

“He was always the asshole of the band. He was always the one that was really unpopular with everybody that bleerhark aadeenn abouut causeennn” said Lemmy of Lennon, or at least I think it’s what he said cause I couldn’t understand most of the sentence, hence my phonetic interpretation.

It’s not all bad though, Lemmy has nothing but love for The Beatles, and thanks to Blabbermouth, I got this quote transcribed and translated from Lemmish to English:

“The Beatles were massive. They changed the world. The generation that was with me, which includes me, we genuinely believed we could make the world better and we failed because the world’s so full of shit.“
