Correction made. And I should know better - I was fortunate/unlucky enough to have been present at their very first gig - at the Roundhouse in 1975, supporting Greenslade.

I say unfortunate as they were so loud that my ears were ringing two days later. It was an inauspicious start - they kind of jammed their way around a few Pink Fairies and Hawkwind before ending with a pre-punk hard riffin' version of the Motown classic Leaving Here by Eddie Holland, which had been covered by Ronnie Wood's first band The Birds as well as The Who. It was later to be Motorhead's first single on the Stiff label.

RIP, but Eddie was their second guitarist, after Larry Wallis, right?

Correct.

Very sad to hear - Fast Eddie contributed to some of the best Motörhead Killer Albums. R.I.P

They'll be dishing out more ear plugs up in heaven as we speak.

A band who always reminded us that Rock N Roll is, first and foremost, about making a great bloody racket.

RIP Eddie.

You mean this one?

"Motorhead Hammersmith Odeon, UK
19th October 1975


Lineage : LowGen Cass (2nd?) > Audacity (Tracking) > Wav > TLH (Flac8) > Dime...

Setlist :

01 - Motorhead
02 - Lost Johnny
03 - Silver Machine
04 - City Kids
05 - Waiting For The Man
06 - -Tuning-
07 - Leaving Here
08 - Bye Bye Johnny


This tape came to me from an old friend, who'd actually forgotten he'd got it until I went through his tape boxes with him - & thankfully it had survived in a playable condition, good storage pays dividends. He wishes to remain anonymous but acquired this many many years ago, & the quality on this is amazing (there are samples underneath to check...) with an entertaining setlist to say the least. The show itself was only Motorhead's 11th gig, their 2nd in London (supporting Blue Oyster Cult) & still had Larry Wallis & Lucas Fox (guitar & drums respectively), as opposed to Eddie & Phil.

The band play well, & the audience pay attention, but you can tell it's a partisan audience...The recording is a good one, nothing swamped,

Overall, this is a fascinating listen, & as far as I know is the only tape to feature this lineup apart from their Roundhouse debut - very definitely well worth it..."

Wow, I was just thinking about him the other day. I knew he had health issues related to his days in Motorhead. What a hugely underrated guitarist.

As far as surviving ex-members of Motorhead:

Larry Wallis
Lucas Fox
Brian "Robbo" Robertson (ex-Thin Lizzy)
Philip Campbell
Pete Gill (ex-Saxon)
Mikkey Dee (ex-King Diamond)

Although they wrote their biggest hits and most memorable songs with the classic Lemmy/Eddie/Philthy lineup, I still say that the Lemmy/Wurzel/Campbell/Dee-to-Lemmy/Campbell/Dee lineup had the strongest run of albums in the band's history.

No, I mean the first ever gig they played.

Rubbish quality but here it is.

After Lemmy/Eddie/Philthy, line up, Motörhead produced a long run of albums and for sure some killer albums as well! I enjoyed, enjoy all line-ups

So sad....they are all gone, maybe now they will get to play that double bill with the Ramones

So sad, I saw the classic Motorhead line up 3 times in the late '70s.
Everything louder than everything else.
RIP Lemmy, Eddie and Phil.

Never saw Motörhead...they cancelled both times I had tickets...Cranked up some early 'Head today.
My favourite Clärke tunes: Motörhead and We Are the Road Crew

My favorite Motorhead albums were when Eddie was in the band.

Turn it up...

Motörhead - Damage Case




"Hey babe don't turn away
I'm here tomorrow I'm gone today..."

RIP Eddie.

The mixing on this live album is insane...one of the loudest-sounding albums I own.

Keeping in line with the Eddie Clarke era Motorhead (RIP), have to go with this superior live album - their best imo.

Motörhead - No Sleep 'til Hammersmith (1981) - Full Album

Perhaps, but Clärke doesn't play on it unfortunately!

RIP Fast Eddie. Saw Motorhead in Vancouver March 82. Unfortunately Eddie had quit the band just days before although pre-internet so very few knew. They did an autograph session that day at a record store downtown and I got Lemmy and Phil Taylor's autographs but didn't know who the red haired guitarist was, later realizing it was Brian Robertson.
Did get to see Eddie live a year later when Fastway opened for AC/DC in Vancouver on the opening night of the Flick of the Switch tour.

Never said he did, but it's a Clarke-era song and it's LOUD.

Hello,

Sorry to learn of this news...the times that I saw M'head were post-Fast but of course his era still gets a regular airing on the stereo.

This number I just love, especially them playing-out the song as only a trio can. Nothing majorly flash but just so...right! Thanks Eddie.

'Live To Win'

Cheers,

Simon.

Eddie is among those telling stories of drugs on the road, from 2000s: [www.youtube.com]

Terribly underrated and ignored guitarist in the Rock World. Very unassuming Gentleman when being interviewed and taken too soon,still a young man by todays standards.

It's amazing watching this...Lemmy was around 60 here and you'd never know what kind of life he'd lived looking at him. He truly had a superhuman constitution.
