    Was fortunate to see the classic Motorhead lineup of Kilmister, Clarke & Taylor in 1982 & "Fastway" in the 80's too! "Fast" Eddie Clarke, what an amazing guitarist. #RIP "Fast" Eddie.

    Definitely love the early stuff, especially with a bit of occasional whizz. It's an authentic touch haha. He evidently had a constitution for the fast stuff...
    Rest well Eddie

Now with Eddie's passing the iconic lineup of lemmy Eddie and Phil are reunited in Rock and roll heaven...Bless ya Eddie for all the classic music and entertainment you gave us over the years. Thankyou Paul for all your hard work in researching these celebrity names and final resting places. Look forward to the next one..Happy Christmas and wishing you all the best...The musical legacy left behind by motorhead will keep this iconic lineup alive for eternity...Thankyou.....

    Just paying my respects to Fast Eddie by watching YOU visit his grave LOL Is that disrespectful of me??? I really don't have enough good words to describe how much I love Eddie. I love Lemmy and Philthy and Wurzel and Mikky D and all of the lads as well, but Eddie is one of the all time greats and insanely humble as a person too (especially when u consider his status as an 80's guitar hero and think about how much of a c**t he COULD have been, but wasn't!) Eddie Clarke and Steve Jones from the Pistols are the two most criminally-underrated rhythm guitarists of all time. Thanks for the tour, brother! Bigups, respect and love from Liverpool.

    My brother and his best friend used to love Ace of Spades.
    It reminds me of a holiday we went on with his best friend, and I used to fancy him. I’d picture him with his Motörhead hat on with headphones listening to Ace of Spades banging his head.
    I wonder what ever happened to him?
    It’s sad so many people who I grew up with are now dying.
    Thank you, you brought back some lovely memories.

    Eddie as well as Phil and Lemmy where friends of mine , as you already know, from when I wrote a magazine and worked for the band. I was working the gig in NYC , when Eddie and lem had there spat , Eddie walked out , Lemmy looked at me and said , well I guess your playing tonight. But Eddie as a true professional came back and played the gig, he hung in until Brian from Lizzy took over. Eddie was and still is a good man , they all were and got on well. See you soon ed.

    Another great video. My husband is a massive Motörhead fan, he’s seen them many times over the years. I was lucky enough to see them on their last tour at the Eden Project, so glad I did. Even though Lemmy was not well I wouldn’t have missed it. Shame all the best musicians are leaving us but at least we still have their great music.
    Keep up the fantastic videos, have a great Christmas

    Thank you for this Paul, I was on a bus one day going home in west london and overheard a man telling a very silly joke about who makes the holes in doughnuts to his nephew. Then he went on to say that people complaining about loud music on mobile phones know absolutely fuck all about volume, because the band he played for had been banned all over the place for being the loudest band ever. Then it clicked. We had a chat and I said yeah seen you 5 times, and he says hey I'm always around look me up etc. An absolute gentleman. Love and respect

    Motörhead..soundtrack of my youth & I love them still..can’t believe they are all passed away, makes me feel blooming old. I had one chance to see a Motörhead concert when I was seventeen but I unfortunately had a bad accident a few days before I was due to go, knocked off my motorbike by a car & ended up with a fractured leg amongst other things, hence I didn’t make it, I’m still gutted to this day. Wishing you & yours a Christmas full of joy & peace 👍😎

    Thank you for all you do Paul. Inever got to see Motorhead allthough a life long fan. This is an excert from a booklet I wrote about being in an induced coma about two months after the great Lemmy passed away.
    Got to meet Lemmy
    This is the scariest and most upsetting part of the journey for me. As in my head, this
    was very real. I had a strange feeling looking around rows of blurred people standing
    behind the church pews from ground level in the cold and damp. Looking around the
    church and then seeing Lemmy from Motorhead standing there, and I was thinking
    what’s he doing here? He’s dead. Then seeing my lovely wife gliding across the floor in
    a long white dress and thinking why is she here too? Then I realised
    Am I dead???
    I can remember feeling scared and upset, I don’t know why I had this dream, maybe I
    was closer than I thought?
    Keep up the good work Paul.

    What a great headstone and the words on it. So rock and roll! I have seen Motorhead many years ago but even though i'm well into middle age, I am still too young to have seen them when Eddie was in the band.. Incidentally I believe Olympic Studios was in Barnes, which is only about five miles away from his grave.

    Hi, way back in 1978 when motôrhead played my home town of Basingstoke, I after the show (which was loud and amazing) I gave Eddie my last 4 cigarettes, to which I shook his hand.
    He was such a nice and pleasant guy.

    I've had some good times at Motorhead gigs, and some bad ones (but that was Motorhead). It's so sad that many of my teenage heroes have past, but then I remember the line, "We don't want to live forever!". Life is to be enjoyed, and for some, that means it's a little shorter.

It's in Cumbria, if ever you're that way. A beautiful church and village. (Great pub too!) I first saw it many years ago, but only really noticed anything recorded about it on the internet until quite recently. Worth a look online if you get 5 mins 👍.

    As much as i love the mighty Motorhead, i have to say that when i saw that band it was sadly after Eddie had left. But, i have to add that i really loved (and still do) Eddie's post Motorhead band Fastway. The music was in a different vein, but their 'Waiting For The Roar' album is absolutely amazing! I was totally blown away when i first bought it. Come to think of it, it still blows me away 36, or so, years later. A true classic imo. RIP Eddie 🤟
