Lemmy!

Would I pay to see a documentary film on the life of Motörhead's Lemmy? You're damned right I would!

Please enjoy this fine musical selection, Motörhead's "Killed by Death." Smashing any and all distinctions between pathos** and bathos**, the first 35 seconds are the greatest intro to any rock video. Evar!



Bow down to Lemmy! Yeah.

**Links to "pathos" and "bathos" provided for reference purposes only. And to make me look smart.

  3. Actually, there is a slight difference in the way we use the word "bathos". The wikipedia article suggests it is used in a somewhat restricted and maybe ironic sense whereas among Greeks it is more general, e.g you could talk about the deep meaning of life and "bathos" would be appropriate.

  4. Psephis,
    That makes perfect sense from what I know of Greek. The extended meaning is an English language invention (so far as I can tell).
