| Lemmy Kilmister made repeated public statements disparaging feminism, mocking gender-neutral language and claiming that women entered prostitution because they wanted to. He also frequently discussed women in terms of sexual conquests and appearance. Although he defended female musicians and rejected accusations of misogyny, his statements provide evidence of dismissive attitudes towards feminism and women's experiences. | Source | |
| Lemmy collected Nazi uniforms and other Axis memorabilia, publicly praised the visual design of SS uniforms, and once appeared in a Hitler costume during a performance with Slayer. Motörhead’s early Snaggletooth artwork also included a swastika, later removed from subsequent CD reissues. Lemmy said his interest was in the uniforms and historical objects, denied being a Nazi or racist, and said he disliked the ideology. | Source | |
| 1978 | Motörhead performed at a benefit organised by Wilko Johnson to raise funds to preserve William Wordsworth manuscripts. The band performed under the name “Iron Fist and the Hordes from Hell” because of contractual restrictions. | Source |
