@@jacestephenweatherall1732 Wurzel was god of guitar i love him too but number one is Eddie, Eddie opened my mind for guitar plays and his licks made my life more happy :D
I was walking in a park in twickenham today and came across a bench reading 'dedicated to my husband' fast Eddie clarke' I couldn't believe it! I thought is that thee fast Eddie! So I Googled it and he was indeed from twickenham! (I'm not a local). I sat down and blasted some ace of spades in his honour! ! I hope you're rocking away up there mate! With your old pal lemmy! 🤘
HAHAAAAH - I remember a nice joke here: Lemmy comes to Valhalla and meets Odin. Odin shows the whole place to him and finally, they end up in his armoury - and Odin wonders, why Lemmy shakes his head all the time. "What's up with you?" Odin says "Let's go to my place", Lemmy says, "I'll show you what an armoury has got to looks like!"
After watching this video you really come to appreciate the professionalism of a band like Motorhead. After they are long gone the band will still be heard by new generations of rockers. Motorhead forever.
Well, Eddie was young back in the 80's. and as we all know rock 'n roll artists live a very fast and crazy life, especially when they're young. So yeah, probably Eddie didn't act very professional back then, but I'm sure he is not the same person now. Any how when I wrote "professional", I was referring to the effort and time they invest to become exceptional musicians.
You lucky dog. I bet it was fun and interesting to have met the classic Motorhead band in person. They were awesome with Eddie and Phil. I was very lucky to see Motorhead perform live in Los Angeles back in the early 80's
Sad day as Fast Eddie has gone.one of the best guitar players and one of life's good guys.classic Motörhead were part of my teen years growing up,always remember seeing them at the Lyceum on the overkill tour and at Hammersmith odeon on the bomber tour,seriously loud.3 guys who knew how to enjoy themselves and make a lot of people happy and deaf at the same time.may all 3 rest in peace.
Saw them a couple of times, Hammersmith and Crawley leisure centre, not sure of the year but I was still at school. I was going to say the same as you Dave Stickley, they were the loudest band I have ever seen, bloody brilliant.
I always liked Eddie also-not only for his guitar playing but also because he's one helluva good story teller during these interviews. He also seemed like a genuinely nice man. Not everyone would offer to pay thieves that stole a prized guitar-seemed just his way of smoothing things over and not ruining anyone's life. His stories about the early days with Phil and Lemmy are amazing and always with humor. (Even though Phil claimed Eddie was like Hitler as a foreman....probably just his being a perfectionist.)
Motorhead have always blessed their fans with great guitar players RIP Fast Eddie... You didn't realise how good Fast Eddie Clarke was until he's gone..
I did. It’s the reason, fast and loud as they were, those early Motörhead albums can still act like a lullaby to me and soothe me to sleep. Fast Eddie was a genius.
Definitely. You can tell he built everything around a blues influence and it gave the classic lineup of Motorhead their sound that IMHO was them sounding at their best. Too bad we never got to see the original 3 play together on a tour one last time. Eddie had no wish to leave Motorhead-it was his dislike of collaborating with Wendy O'Williams that clashed with Phil and Lemmy. (Always the poontang causing problems...it was according to Phil the reason Lemmy fired him as he claimed to have stolen one of Lemmy's ladies.)
I'm not into Motorhead in a big way but Fast Eddie Clarke's guitar riff from "Bomber" made me take up and learn the electric guitar back in the late seventies - I'd never heard a riff so good that fitted a song so perfectly. Fast Eddie Clarke: A true working and gigging guitarist who eventually hit the big time.
He seemed a lovely boke - massive influence on me musically - he always answered my facebook messages. Him and Lemmy - influenced my playing immensely on both bass and guitar!
His leads on "Overkill" and "Stone dead forever"( especially the Golden years EP) are ICONIC and truelly in the same league as the riffs itself !!! All hail to Fast Eddie Clarke, six string GOD forever!!!
Fast Eddie is the reason the entire reason I started playing strats all those years ago my Grandma bought me a Korean Squier Strat used first thing I done was take it apart sand it down to wood linseed oil it and put a HB in the in the for Christmas that year she Bought me a 50 watt 1× 12 Marshall valve state and I still play them to this!!P.S GRANDMA thank you. R.I.P. Fast Eddie.
Fast Eddie was never replaced.............I booked tickets for Motorhead many times and made sure I was on the side of Mr Clarke. I just grateful I seen the best Motorhead line up of all time on a few occasions. Nicki Dee and Campbell never came close, yeah Lemmy vouched for them so much but it was never the same.
My goodness what talented musicians these guys were. 'Pretty tight since we have not played it together for 20 years!' Lemmy, this sounds absolutely freakin' superb! Fast Eddies tone was an essential part of the original Motörhead line up. Phil was just incredible, and Lemmy played bass with a unique style just like a lead guitarist at times (in fact he called himself a guitarist who plays bass and not a bass guitarist), astonishing with so much guts. But it was the overall incredible sound together that made them Motörhead. That sound was absolutely unique, and here the lads prove that hands down. Every one of them in the groove. Lemmy foot tappin' and ringing out that gutsy rhythm, Phil and Eddie right in the flow of the fast paced music. God bless Lemmy. He had his falling out with Eddie for leaving the group, but was man enough to put that aside with the decency to allow this jamming session of the greatest Motörhead line up to take place. Credence Lemmy for that alone. You did all of humanity a service. You know, there are many imitators, but nobody replicated the original Motörhead line ups sound, and this here is the REAL DEAL. This is what I got into Motörhead for, this! Not loudness, but this sound. This incredible sound. Such a sad, sad loss, but their musical magnificence remains for all time as an inspiration to the generations who come after them. Eddie too, what a lovely bloke. He made time for everyone, a real gent, and a superb guitarist. RIP guys. Somewhere in Heaven right now jamming and rubbing shoulders with the greats. How Hendrix and others must be so proud of Lemmy, Eddie, and Phil. They came a long way, reached up and touched the stars.
They Set One Great Standard Of All The History I Will Never Forget 81 San Francisco Old Waldorf To San Jose Civic Auditorium Were My First Two Shows Seeing Them Loud Is Beyond Anyone I Ever Saw felt Like A Steamroller Hit You Great Great Memories
+Dana Jacobson He really was. I was lucky enough to interview him around 1988 for college radio. I interviewed a ton of musicians for a ton of bands, and out of all of them he was hands down the friendly and most patient one. not at all like his stage name. RIP Phil.
+Abdul AlpLimIndFox Yep, neither an animal (except on the drums), nor Philthy, just a really cool guy happy to spend 30 minutes answering questions and shooting the breeze.
Not pretty tight since you have not played it together for 20 years Lemmy, but rather absolutely bloody fantastic! This is the musical definition of Motorhead!!! This is the sound everybody craved. This is the sound that got me and kept me with Motorhead. This is the sound I loved. Why did you lose Fast Eddie? 😢
For the better, you can't go wrong having some of Fast Eddie's playing incorporated in your sound. Still wear a Motorhead shirt today 40 plus years after first hearing this classic lineup. RIP guys!
God damn i miss ya Eddie.. You we're one of my Main inspiration to pick up the guitar 2 years ago, still play your tunes and licks. Hope to see you someday! 🤘🤘
Philthy- we miss you brotha'!..... ........Simple as that. Thumbs up, and remember this man!!.. Ahhh, the times in the car listening to his drumming.....
WoW, Just found out about Fast Eddie's passing in the end-of-the-year tributes. Definitely will be missed. His contributions to the legendary sounds of Heavy Metal are Monumental ! Never got to see this ltalented axeman but Fast Eddie will live on in my memories,
Really like the first "real" motorhead line up. and especially fast eddie... can listen to no sleep till hammersmith over and over again. oh my god what is the cutter doing at 5:00?? but nice to bring these guys back together! thaugt they wouldn´t talk to each other, esp. eddie and lem, but anyway they´re playing! Cool thing!
