Fast Eddie Clarke - RIP

[Badronald]

Fantastic in Motörhead.
But. He recorded one of my all time favorite rock n roll albums in the first Fastway record.
Thanks for the riffs. RIP.

Holy cow...
He was a good one...the Fastway riffs are/were great.

RIP

Damn. That's it then. All Motorhead's original members (at least original on their albums) are gone. Sad day.

A sad day indeed. RIP

Damnit. Bomber,overkill,and ace of spades were big albums for me in high school. Then that fastway album was kick ass too. Being old sucks.

LONG LIVE MOTÖRHEAD!

RIP Fast Eddie....It's very strange to realize all three are gone now. Motorhead forever! Even though it doesn't get much love I really dig the 2nd Fastway record too. Another legend has left us.

A friend at work told me today and I was like "Nooooooooooooooo!!!!!!!!!!!!!". I have "Say What You Will" and "Easy Livin'" on my iPod and was just running to it yesterday. Someone like Fast Eddie Clarke with just a guitar and wall of Marshalls blows away all of the polished production that came after. I mean just a balls out tone.

His riffs were so original. As already mentioned "Say What You Will" is awesome. Then you hear "Bomber" and other great songs and you realize he didn't play like some of the other guitarists out there. Lemmy is the face of Motorhead but Eddie had all of those great riffs@!!

I saw that Fastway/Saxon/Maiden show in San Francisco 1983 . What a killer triple bill . RIP Eddie

All together again.

 

[romanianreaper]

All together again.

Man, look at those guys! I just love it. They look like they would just show up at the gig, plug in, and kick everyone's ass in the arena!
