Lemmy was known for his distinct high voice.
 He was also known for his bass playing style and using his Rickenbacker bass to create an "overpowered, distorted rhythmic rumble"
 He spoke against racism several times; indeed, there is a viral archival video of Lemmy consoling an aspiring 16-year-old black musician who enjoyed playing metal but was chastised by his father over it (because he considered it white man's music), and Lemmy encouraged the teen to pursue his passion despite his father's protests, vehemently denouncing Hitler and his policies on racial segregation in the process
