First saw Motorhead at a club in Middlesbrough in January 1978. I was jammed up the front of the stage just in front of Eddie. Good night. Loud night, as well.
It was hard to follow up Ace of Spades, and the production of Iron Fist wasn't as stellar, but yeah, that's one of their best albums. So many classic songs.
A mighty fine blues guitarist, definitely my fave in Motorhead probably my fave member overall. The blues sound he brought to the songs, made him the heart of the (then) band. No Sleep 'til Hammersmith loved it, still remember buying it when it came out rushing home to hear it and practically never stopped playing it. Overall, I'd say Metropolis probably is my fave Motorhead song a cooler tune is hard to find. R.I.P. Eddie.
Great tribute and review of Fast Eddie Clarke's carreer. Yes love that first Fastway album, a classic! Wished that lineup could've stuck together long-term.
I saw that same show with Ozzy, the loudest band ever! All 3 are awesome players. My ears rang for a week after. Born to lose, Live to win! RIP Lemmy, Fast Eddie and Philthy.
I felt it was fitting the motorhead og 3 passed away relatively close in time . Love there music .Love those guys . Love iron fist & everything they did . Lucky you seeing blizzard & motorhead , I did see fast Eddie's fastway in 84 when 12 yrs old. Thank you for the tribute .

He had 2 killer solo albums ..It Ain't Over Till It's Over.....closer to the Motorhead sound..Lemmy sings a track....the other one is Make My Day Back to the Blues.....the second Fastway album All Fired Up is great....on the first Fastway album the opener Easy Livin' is a Uriah Heep cover....I absolutely love Iron Fist....the 40th Anniversary edition is fantastic.....the Glasgow Appollo show '82....recorded great and kicks ass !!!!
Awww! Hey! Not forgetting Wurzel too man! Wurzel had the minerals and was also a very fine fellow! So theres a fine line up of Motorhead in purgatory now hahahaha RIR
I remember being super bummed to find out that Eddie had left Motorhead after the Iron Fist album, but then Another Perfect day turned out to be such a great record, and Fastway emerged around the same time, so it was like getting two bands for one! RIP Eddie, Lem, Phil, & Wurzel...
