The Life & Death of Motorhead's 'FAST' EDDIE CLARKE 

What a guitarist, the real sound of Motorhead

He definitely had the right sound and style for Motorhead.

Lemmy,Phil,Eddie, the best lineup in Motorhead RIP

I got to meet and spend time with Motorhead several times between 80 & 82 in Belfast.I was 17 and Eddie was like a cool big brother to me.Brilliant band in brilliant times.Sadly missed.. even Philthy Phil "where's the shitter?" Taylor🙏🤘

Fast Eddie Clarke was a guitar hero & is a legend! RIP Eddie ♠️❤♠️

Underrated guitarist

He was crucial for the MOTÖRHEAD sound and style

His Fastway work was incredible. Say What You Will ,Easy Livin and We Become One are Perfection.

Fast Eddie was the INVENTOR of Motorhead's LOUD Rock N Roll. No Fast Eddie = No Motorhead.

His playing was very musical and perfect for the trio of Motörhead. I love 3 piece bands they just seem to kick ass 😊

Philthy, Fast and Lemmy, there was never a better setup.

RIP Fast Eddie...truly an icon of the Heavy Metal world! Big ups for this video n cheers from Southern California

Legendary guitarist shame he left Motorhead.Fastway were good though.

Fastways first album was killer

Motorhead with fast, Eddie Clark rules 🇺🇸🤘🏻☘️⚡️⚡️

Fast Eddie RIP Legend 🙏

I loved him so much! Such a cool guy, his guitar work with Motorhead was incredible! RIP Eddie! dx

Got to see the first American tour with Ozzy. At the time didn't realize how iconic that was. With Randy Rhodes and Motorhead at their peak.

So glad i met him.a true gent

I remember seeing Fastway in the 80's

Another great one. 🤘😎😍

Nothing against Motorhead but I always liked Eddie's material in the band Fastway much better!

I had the privilege of seeing this line up as a teen at Sheffield City Hall a couple of times between around '78 and '81. I remember the Heinkel 111 themed light rig hovering over the stage at one of them. Fantastic gigs, although it didn't do my hearing any favours!

Still love that 1st Fastway album.

Absolutely fantastic have a wonderful weekend ❤😊

I really appreciate learning about all these musicians I’ve not heard before. I think with a lot of groups the focus is usually on the lead vocalist and one or two guitarists, I’m enjoying learning about the other musicians as well. I’ve literally never heard Motörhead, but you can tell they had huge energy and influence. Thank you!🤗

I saw Fastway in 83 with Maiden and Coney Hatch in Pittsburgh. Eddie, so f'd up, he botched "Say What You Will". Sad. Maiden killed it, opening with "Where Eagles Dare" and never looking back.

I was at that Nottingham Theatre Royal gig. My mates and I had bought package tickets (which included a London to Stafford coach) to see MH at Stafford Bingley Hall but on the day, the coaches either never showed or, taking one look at the wet and bedraggled mob waiting in a muddy field near Kings Cross, decided to keep going. As a result, we were given free tickets and carriage to the Nottingham gig. Happy days! BTW, huge mistake not to release "No Sleep" as a double album back in the day. Robbed it of legendary status like Alive I and II, Gonzo and Strangers. Oh well.....

Saw Motörhead in Sweden 1981 ,Great gig 💪🤘

Fast Eddie !!! Champion and Legend !!!

I regret I never saw Fast Eddie when he was the guitarist of Motorhead. When I saw Motorhead the first time the guitarists were Phil and Wurzel.

I saw motor head when I was 14 Manchester Apollo, I'm deaf in my left lug, wonder why

He was best guitarist in motörhead

5th october 1950 = 5 years to the day - older than me , at 21 in 1976 i became a roadie - beginning my musical real life .

Rip Eddy never forgotten

Hey Eddie,i miss you sooo very very much🤘🎸🤘😪😪😪😪

I used to see him walking his dog in Crane Park.

Fact check: Fastway's second record was "All Fired Up", "Waiting for the Roar" was their third. The final Fastway album, "Eat Dog Eat" was released in 2011, which wasn't mentioned in this video.

He could have left at anytime but luckily didn’t! Five albums later he finally left. We are grateful! Best solos for me stone dead forever Live and Live to win also limb from limb,

Interesting to Hear Charlie Tumahi Bass player ex Be Bop Deluxe ( Axe Attack album is great) Charlie returned to NZ and joined Herbs.with his Cousin Dilworth Karaka .

Rock on Fast Eddie.

Love his playing on Stone Dead Forever .

Never knew he was responsible for them heavy riffs down up down up du du du du ! (Ace of s) I always thought that was Lemmy as he was 1st a guitar player as a bassist for hawkwind . Some famous names Billy Rath -j thunders ,and humble pies drummer syd barrett s at 1 point - Jerry shirley

R.I.P Eddie, the sound of my youth!

I thoroughly enjoyed this video. Maybe i should look up his Fastway records. 👍👍

FASTWAY was the best album of the year imo

Awesome guitarist Artist .... Libra's rule!!!

Good thing he became a professional musician and didn't need to rely on being a TV repairman. That seems like a job that would not be a thing in more recent times. (I could be wrong and if so feel free to correct me).

He was certainly busy after Motorhead.

Die beste Motörhead Besetzung Lemmy, Animal Taylor, fast Eddi Clark R.I.P. the best Trio ever

First band I ever saw live was fastway, opening for Saxon and maiden

Yes, Lemmy, Eddie and Phil -the perfect team. I join this records up to now. The rest ? Ok, but "the real spirit" was gone...........

Fastway 🔥🔥🔥🔥

I saw on discogs an ambient album of fast Eddy Clark he recorded in the late 90's. I can't find it anymore . False recognition ?

Hope they are all jamming together

one of my favorate guitar players of all time, motorhead was ok but fastway was brilliant

Love ya Eddie!

THE Motorhead line up.End.

they agreed to a farewell show at the Marquee - so no contacts there then. Admit it for god's sake, Lemmy was a member of HAWKWIND

When asked "why are you called Fast Eddie" , he replied :- My girlfriend asked me, before having sex, Will it hurt? and he replied, did it? 😂

Load of Hype

😊legend

👍👍

🤟🤠💥🌟🌀🎉

Say what you will...

Who?

eddie clarke was a true musician who made real music. lemmy was over rated.

first saw motörhead promoting bom-ber.... theatre royal, nottm/bomber tour 79.... lemmy/fast eddie/philthy animal.... the best line-up of the band....

MONSTER player

Fastway WAY better than primitive Motorhead
