Earlier in the week, the world laid Lemmy Kilmister to rest after a battle with cancer. His funeral was streamed live on the internet and included words from the likes of Slash, Lars Ulrich and members of the various rock and roll factions that Motorhead touched with their influence.

Among them was also Dave Grohl, who delivered a ten-minute eulogy about Lemmy, recounting personal stories and discussing the rocker’s wide ranging influence and impact on the world of rock and roll. 

Grohl recounted the first time he met Lemmy, at a strip club called Crazy Girls. “I saw Lemmy by himself in the corner on a video game. And it blew my mind. I knew that I couldn’t just go say something because he was on his own in the corner. On the way out I thought, ‘I have to say something. He’s my hero. He’s the one true rock n roller that bridged my love of ACDC and Sabbath and Zeppelin with my love of GBH and the Ramones and Black Flag.’”
