    Motorhead slow numbers

    Stone Dead Forever is one of my favourites too - along with Overkill (album version).

    Of course that was the classic line-up for me and I was not keen on the dual guitar line-up of Wurzel and Campbell - too twiddly. The odd decent album but I felt they'd lost the spark.

      The Fast Eddie/Philthy Animal line-up is everyone's favourite, surely?

      I was fine with the Wurzel/Phil Campbell line-up as long as they had Philthy or Pete Gill but it was Mikkey Dee that ruined it, great useless donkey that he is.

        I must revisit Another Perfect Day actually as the songs I remember of it stand up much better than I thought of them at the time. Obviously, Brian Robertson was never really a Motörhead guitarist but was the George Lazenby in their history. Indeed, I am interested to see that, according to Wikipedia, he only signed a one album deal. I have never heard of an individual band member doing that before.

          'Shine' and 'Dancing on your Grave' are songs I return to a lot.

          'APD' wasn't a terrible album and Roberston's a great guitarist but it was the touring around it that made it clear that he was a terrible mistake; refusing to play a lot of Fast Eddie era classics, wearing the legwarmers/Alan Partridge running shorts/headband outfit and, worst of all, forcing Lemmy to play out of position on the left.
