Fast Eddie, keep roaring and making Rock ‘N’ Roll because your family Motörhead would not expect less than that !!!

Rest in Peace Fast Eddie Clarke October 5, 1950 – January 10, 2018. ”

Last gig with the classic line-up

And in 2014, him, Phill Taylor and Lemmy Kilmister played together for the last time “Ace Of Spades”.

Watch this awesome moment below:

Time with Motörhead

Clarke was introduced to Lemmy by drummer Phil “Philthy Animal” Taylor in the 70’s and he soon joined the band.

The musician was part of Motörhead’s first studio album, self-titled, released in 1977 and also played in Overkill (1979), Bomber (1979), Ace Of Spades (1980) and Iron Fist (1982). Their departure was announced shortly after the release of this last album claiming that they did not like the direction they took on the album.

Upon leaving the band, Clarke joined Pete Way, a former UFO bassist, and formed Fastway which released seven studio albums, the latest in 2011, Dog Eat Dog.

We from Rock and Roll Garage are truly sorry for this lost. Motörhead is now complete in heaven or hell. The only certainty is that they are now playing louder than ever!
