Who wouldn't want to be Kilmister, the vocalist, bassist and all around badass who's been fronting the legendary British hard rock band Motörhead since 1975? Thanks to 'Guitar Hero: Metallica,' due in stores this spring, "being" Lemmy is possible, since he will appear as a playable character in the game. Gamers will have the option to either watch Lemmy's in-game likeness as he hammers away at his bass and sings in his signature, whiskey-drenched vocals, or they can step into his cowboy boots and learn to play Motörhead's 2008 re-recorded version of their biggest hit, the anthemic 'Ace of Spades.'
"It's great to be in 'Guitar Hero' with all these famous people and I'm really pleased to be in it with Metallica," Lemmy said, "but [frontman] James [Hetfield] is still taller than me."
Metallica and Motörhead have long enjoyed a mutual admiration of one another's work, as Metallica once played seven Motörhead covers under the moniker "The Lemmys." So sweet, those two.

Metallica just launched their official Canadian merch store and I just bought some awesome new shirts. I saw them when they played in Toronto in December and it was one of the best shows I've ever been to. You can check out the new store here: https://killthe8.com/merchcdn/pages/8085/METALLICA.htm
