I saw where Fast Eddie Clarke passed away, which means the entire classic lineup of Motorhead has passed away in just a couple of years. :'(
That's the third band I can think of where they're all gone. The Jimi Hendrix Experience and The Ramones are the other two.

Yup. All gone.
Motörhead was an enigma to me. I had occasion to see them perform live 2 times, and they were the worst sounding live act I've ever seen, bar none. I think they're one of those bands where a whole lotta people loved the rebel attitude and authenticity of Lemmy, but probably couldn't have named more than two Motörhead songs.

Early on they covered some old tunes, Train Kept a Rollin, Louie Louie.
Everybody has to know Ace of Spades, right? It's a classic.
Lemmy helped write stuff for Ozzy, including Mama I'm Coming Home (good song!).
But yeah I think IDP, is right, I think most people just liked their attitude and loud angst. Never caught them live.

I never saw them, but I do have a live album and it's OK. You knew what you were getting when you bought a Motorhead album. They all kind of sound the same. They're all a certainly quality level. I've never heard a bad album from them. Then again, I've never heard a classic album from them, either. It's all kind of the same, except for a few songs like Ace of Spades.
I didn't post this because I'm the biggest Motorhead fan, but the fact that entire bands are now dying off. Sucks getting old.

Yeah, I hear ya. R&R's not especially known for their healthy lifestyle and longevity...but the passing of a generation is, picking up it seems.
