Heavy metal
Heavy metalRock

Lemmy is a Heavy metal and Rock act. Their sound grew out of Pink Fairies, Mark Knopfler, The Nolans, The Beatles and Jimi Hendrix. Those roots explain a lot about how Lemmy arrange songs and choose their tones. They run in the same orbit as AC/DC, Spinal Tap, Sebastian Bach, Quiet Riot and Tony Iommi, sharing audiences, venues and reference points rather than a straight line of influence. Their influence carried into Wendy O. Williams, Harley Flanagan, Motörhead, The Damned and Slayer, where the same ideas turn up rearranged for a later generation. Altogether the chart holds 21 connections around Lemmy, reaching back through Pink Fairies and forward to Wendy O. Williams.
