Touring, drugs and decades of hard rock fill Lemmy Kilmister’s memoir White Line Fever. The book is built from touring stories, fights, drugs, recording sessions and sharply held opinions about music and people, with Motörhead albums and personnel changes forming the main chronology. Lemmy’s voice is blunt, funny and deliberately unsentimental, treating excess as part of the life without turning the memoir into a recovery narrative. Readers looking for detailed technical discussion of songwriting will find more anecdote and personality than analysis. The most useful neighbouring categories are rock autobiography, heavy-metal history and music memoir, especially for readers interested in the culture around touring bands and hard-living performers.
