The Motorhead story continues with 'Iron Fist', a decent single but a poor LP. The group's success had gone to their heads, and instead of working on a good follow-up to 'Please Don't Touch' they were out GALLIVANTING every night. Fast Eddie tried to keep them in line, but eventually he walked out. The classic line-up was no more, the run of chart success ended. Motorhead had shot itself in the foot.

Rolling Stones 'Time Is On My Side', 1982. This is from a huge concert in Leeds that was added on to the end of their European tour. It was said at the time that this would be the very last Rolling Stones concert - and indeed it was - for about 6 years. The 80s was a lean time for a Stones fan...

Motorhead 'I Got Mine', 1983. Ex-Thin Lizzy guitarist Brian Robertson replaced Fast Eddie but he didn't last long - the fans didn't like him and neither did Lemmy. This was a shame, because the one LP made by this line-up ('Another Perfect Day') was great; their best since 'Overkill'. I wish they'd recorded more, Robertson had a chiming guitar sound and his playing in Motorhead is often described as 'melodic', as if the group had never been melodic before!
