Metallica drummer remembers Motorhead's Lemmy

One of rock music's most colourful characters - Lemmy from the British heavy metal band Motorhead - has died at the age of seventy. Drummer Lars Ulrich first met Lemmy as a teenager - an encounter that inspired him to found Metallica. He says Lemmy's music and character "broke down walls within rock music".
