Ian Fraser Kilmister (24 December 1945 - 28 December 2015) - known to the world as Lemmy - was
more than just the driving force of Motörhead. Renowned for his skills as a raconteur and
philosopher he was first and foremost a musician and innovator whose love of music led to his
involvement in numerous projects beyond the scope of the band he formed in 1975. Hawkwind and
Motörhead fan Alan Burridge had the idea to produce a fanzine about Motörhead in the summer of
1979. A few months later he encountered Lemmy Fast Eddie Clarke and Philthy Animal Taylor four
times on the 'Bomber' tour and the resulting interviews and gig reviews formed the basis of the
first 'Motörheadbangers' fanzine in January 1980. Three years later Lemmy asked Alan to
integrate the fanzine with the 'Motörheadbangers' fan club which had until then been organised
by Phil's sister Helen and their father John. Alan took this on and has run it to the present
day with over 100 'Motörheadbangers' fanzines to his credit. In addition he has also written
several other books about his beloved Motörhead. Wholly immersed in all things related to
Motörhead Alan began listing and hunting down all of Lemmy's extra-curricular activities. In
»Collateral Damage« he focuses the spotlight on the bands and projects in Lemmy's life before
and parallel to Motörhead cataloguing his appearances on film TV album tracks singles and
downloads. Given Lemmy's sad passing on December 28th 2015 »Collateral Damage« is a true
celebration of life beyond Motörhead. The book does contain a handwritten foreword by Lemmy
Kilmister from Motörhead's last ever live appearance in Berlin Germany on December 11th 2015.
