Was ist los, guv'nor. It was the 7x7 b-side that really fired my interest in
the band. The early 70's Hawkwind were a different kettle of fish because of
Dave's guitar work. Lemmy had an input as did the others. Simon King beefed
it up too, compare his drumming to that of Terry Ollis. Doremi was good (a
couple of duffers on it - I still Skip Time We Left). Withe arrival of Simon
House HotMG was much better - but half a live lp and half studio. Daves
guitar sound died a death after PXR5 (way too thin on the studio releases).
In saying that live it could be blistering.
The "Lemmy years" (two and half lps worth of studio material, not a lot)
were marked by a great band playing together not because of any one
individual. The same can be said for the Quark line-up.
As an aside Motorhead have been off the boil since the early eighties, so
perhaps their greatness was due to Fast Eddie and not Lemmy.
