I heard that Lemmy got his name from Jimi Hendrix when they were at a casino and Lemmy would keep going up to Jimi goin "Lemme get $5".

Nothing to do with Jimi, it was from when he was a kid and would ask for money, "lemme a quid". Google is literally at your fingertips

Yeah I mean I just heard this from a friend and posted it. I should hope no one takes me as a legitimate source. Glad to hear the real story. So was he involved with Jimi at all? I heard he was a roadie or something for him.
