While appearing on a recent episode of The Metallica Report podcast, frontman James Hetfield shared his frustration about Motorhead being snubbed for induction into the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame. “The most rock and roll lifestyle-living person on this planet is not in the Rock and Roll Hall of Fame, which is a travesty, a shame. It’s kind of a disrespect to rock and roll, basically,” said Hetfield.
The metal singer then revealed his new tattoo featuring the iron cross and the ace of spades, which he got to pay tribute to Motorhead frontman, Lemmy Kilmister. Hetfield shared that the tattoo is made with ink mixed with Lemmy’s ashes. “I had been given some ashes of Lemmy and a little silver bullet that was like a necklace. It’s just a reminder of what an inspiration he has been in my life — what to do, what not to do. So this is me paying homage to him.” (Ultimate Classic Rock)
