Brian May pays tribute to Lemmy

Among the many tributes offered by fellow musicians to Lemmy Kilmister of Motorhead was one from Queen guitar legend Brian May.  May recalled the intensity of being on stage with him during a Queen concert about a decade ago and then passed along this remark; 'Words don't come easy, especially when you know Lemmy would have laughed at all of us to say dignified things about him being a hero.  Any time I attempted to say anything complimentary to Lemmy to his face, he would fix me with a kind of amused, contemptuous stare.  But a kind of a hero he certainly was.  Unique in just about every way imaginable.'  Lemmy died 12/28, just a couple of days after being diagnosed with a very aggressive cancer.
