- ChildrenSean Kilmister
- Gravelly voice
- Songs critical of religion
- Rickenbacker bass guitars
- Distinguishable wart on his cheek
- Hairy chest
- Former roadie for Jimi Hendrix.
- His instrument of choice was a Rickenbacker bass, however the logo on it was modified so that it read "Rickenbastard.".
- Considered John Entwistle of The Who to be the best bass player in rock history.
- Only member of Motörhead to appear on every one of the band's albums.
- Father of musician Paul Inder from a previous relationship. He had a son named Sean when he was very young, but he was put up for adoption.
- All I wanted to do was grow up and chase girls. I knew it was coming, but I wasn't old enough. I was just waiting for rock 'n' roll to be invented.
- I figure forty-five is a good age to go. Quick heart attack, something like that...or a nice, clean decapitation in a car crash.
- The English have brought their government down without any guns several times. All it takes is a sex scandal. You just need a dick and a woman.
- It really bothers me when I hear myself being called the one who started all this thrash shit. I think they're trying to make it a compliment, but considering some of the music I'm hearing, I don't know if it is. Motorhead never set out to start a trend - we were there to go against all the trends. The fact that we might have started something like that makes me feel a little scared.
- We are Motörhead and we play Rock 'n' Roll.
