Talk:Motörhead/Archive 2

message: The early timeline as written was incorrect - Eddie Clarke began playing with Motörhead in November 1975 and not March 1976. I'll add refs to support shortly, I personally bumped into Lemmy/Clarke at Sound Management in early November 1975.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by Indieshack (talk • contribs) 18:44, 30 August 2018 (UTC)

replies: text: 1)That’s extremely incorrect, they had so many other hits. 2)That doesn’t matter if they were. Your comment doesn’t matter here. ~SML • TP  21:54, 18 October 2018 (UTC)
replies: text: "Ace of Spades" was their only hit. This should be mentioned in the article. (86.148.226.32 (talk) 21:58, 18 October 2018 (UTC)

thread_title:  One hit wonder 

message: Can TANK be added to the related bands section? Fast Eddie produced them, they toured a lot with Motorhead, Lemmy was friends with Algy Ward, and you can find quite a few pictures of Motorhead and Tank together. Meanwhile "Headgirl" which was a one-off collab EP (much like Motordamned, Motorhead with the Damned) has their own page and are on the related bands section. Doesn't make sense to me. Tank also sounds a lot like Motorhead on their first two LPs so they seem like a no brainer inclusion. Though I guess Wikipedia editors don't care about "B-list" bands.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 12.36.234.25 (talk) 21:37, 8 June 2020 (UTC)

Re my contribution to the lede section, which was reverted by user Sabbatino:
"Wallis died on 19 September 2019, aged 70 leaving Fox as sole survivor of any pre-1982 version of the band."
 I never said he was part of the classic lineup, I mentioned his death there because it's important because it leaves only Lucas Fox from the band's early years.I'd put a full stop and started a new sentence before the Lazza bit.  So this was a different sentence fom the one about the classic lineup.Romomusicfan (talk) 18:36, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: If you want to include Wallis in the lead then why not include Würzel? Würzel is far more important to the band's history than Wallis (and Fox) ever was. Wallis' death is noted at Motörhead#Lemmy's death and breakup, Clean Your Clock and Under Cöver, 2015–2017, which is more than enough. Wallis (and Fox) has never even played on any official recordings (On Parole is not official and was released by the record label against the wishes of the band). – Sabbatino (talk) 19:50, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
replies: text: The important point is that Fox is now the sole survivor from those first six years. After that you've got all sorts of people still alive - Robbo, Pete Gill, Phil Campbell ... Romomusicfan (talk) 21:03, 16 December 2020 (UTC)
