    The DM is reporting that former Motörhead founding guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke has died. With Lemmy and "Philthy Aninal" Taylor, he was in the classic Motörhead lineup responsible for Ace of Spades, Bomber, Overkill & Iron Fist, but he left in 1982 because he didn't like Stand By Your Man ...

    From out there on the moon, international politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, ‘Look at that, you son of a bitch’.

    — Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 Astronaut

    That's a shame, was a privilege seeing him in action over a year ago in the Academy even if it was just with Fastway he did however join Saxon though for a belting 'Ace of Spades'...R.I.P.

    That was truly great! Unfortunately the only time I saw Motorhead was after Eddie had left, so it was great to hear THAT riff played by the man who originally played it...

    RIP
