"White Line Fever" is the autobiography of Lemmy, the founder of Motörhead.

Rather than focusing just on Motörhead, the book covers Lemmy's entire life. It also says a lot about his philosophy on life. However, some peoplewho could say that this book gives only one side of events and that one could be left wondering how other people present perceived events at the time, which is a fair viewpoint considering Lemmy's infamous level of intoxication.

Another comment is that it is rather short for an autobiography concerning a person with such a notorious past, however the main part of this complaint is generally that thoughts on individual factors in Lemmy's career, for example, songs Lemmy recorded or wrote, or even albums.
