@aivopark Absolutely not true! While Eddie And Philthy had the tone of original Motörhead, Campbell and Mikkey do great justice for them. They just play a bit heavier :) (Sorry for my english. Im from Finland)
With all due respect for Phil, Fast Eddie is the master of Ace of spades :D Somebody knows where I can find the correct tab for Ace of spade (the fast eddie version) ? Thanks a lot !
love this song. fyi, there's some guy on youtube calling himself fast eddie and giving jackson browne lessons. a real piece of shit. you should probably sue his racist drunk nazi ass.
I know not everyone will agree but Fast Eddie is the Original and Best. I've seen Motorhead many times over the years, the were my very first gig in 1979 aged 13.
I've seen them in every decade since and although I very much like the current line up. It's just not the same, there was more energy back then, they rocked that hard you had punks and metal fans in the audience equally in awe!
@metallica628 he left because he was becoming unhappy with the results of the iron fist album, i think awhile later he went to form fastway with pete way
As good as Eddie is, I think Motorhead is better as it is now. Phil Campbell has helped to give the band a more modern type sound. Eddie still writes great riffs, and I think he should record just one new song with the current Motorhead line up just for fun.
Still sounds so bloody raw and so...primal, great, great vastly underrated guitarist, i have been to 10 Motorhead gis in my time, 9 transcended ordinary gigs and without being to hippified about it brought together punks, rockers, skins, noiseheads and goths together, no violence, no problems just THAT noise...and the 10th?, well that was a rock gig, nothing special, tragic guess which one DIDNT feature Eddie and Phil ?...cmon Lemmy reform
eddie clarke used to leave motorhead all of the time and lemmy asked him back but when they were making one of thier albums lemmy was told that eddie had left the band because of an arguement and lemmy didn't ask him to come back
Clarke left as a consequence of the band recording Stand By Your Man, a cover version of the Tammy Wynette classic, in collaboration with Wendy O. Williams and the Plasmatics. Clarke felt that this compromised the band's principles, refused to play on the recording and resigned, later forming his own band, Fastway.
imo motorhead were eddie phil etc - sabbath were ozzy etc - i tend to lose interest when my favourite musicians get sacked - except for hawkwind who are still the best live band even without Lemmy
Caraca, Fast Eddie continua fantástico!!! O tempo fez bem pra ele... Ele tá melhor coroa do q no começo de 80. Era o cão chupando manga de feio!!! Kkkkkk
Great guitar player. Can it really be 27 years since he left Motorhead? Eddie always comes across as a really nice bloke. Good to see him back in action again with Fastway.
Because the manufacturing of the good freon was discontinued. Once Motorhead couldn't put that freon into their motorcycle crankcases, things just weren't as cool anymore. You know, when your motor is reving well into the red, thats when the Rock & everything else gets HOT. The promo girl says you got a hot tube and shows you the full stack. Too long at redline, the crank might let loose and blow out through your head. Thats when you got a "killer crank" going around making people duck for cover
@Farquharson64 eddie left motorhead when lemmy was screwing around with wendy of the plasmatics and not working on the music. Eddie didnt like it because he felt it was harming motorhead and there ability to put out better music. So he left the bad. Years later phil left to because he was friends of eddie.
Saw them back in 78 when they first started out with Eddie - they were great! Just ferocious rock and roll, loved Eddie's tone and playing, still do - good on yer Eddie!!
I like the way the beginning of the solo is Black Sabbath's Supernaut. I've never caught that after hearing this song a million times. I guess because he plays it extra fast during the song. Fast Eddie Clarke is a guitar stud. Killer Fender Strat.
Even without the band that song was still LOUD! I wish camera men would focus more on left hands when filming guitarists though - I realized how wrong I've been playing that song.
I still see Motorhead nearly every year and love them. But Eddy Clark is my favourite ever guitarist; Billy Gibbons and Tom Morello tied for 2nd. If you wanna hear a great blues song check out Step Down off the Bomber album. You will find that this cunt also has a great voice as well. Long love Eddy Clark; this guy rocks.
I think Motörhead suck ass today ! Bring back Philthy and Eddie !

It's clear he is playing the open E string aswell as the octave on the seventh? I would've expected the professionals to easily hear that
