What can one say about Motorhead that hasn’t already been said? Not much really. Either way it’s always a pleasure to chat to the band and this time I had the opportunity to talk to guitarist Phil Campbell a few months ago. I was allocated a limited amount of time – 10 minutes to be exact, so I did my up most to cram in as many questions as I could. I hope you enjoy the chat and learn something new.

FAST EDDIE CLARKE

Even to this day Fast Eddie Clarke is probably best known to the heavy metal masses as the guitar hero of the pioneering lineup of MOTÖRHEAD from 1977-1982, which also featured Philthy Animal Taylor on drums. Together, with their fearless leader Lemmy Kilmister leading the way, these three rock legends recorded and released such praised albums as “Motorhead” in 1977, “Overkill” and “Bomber” in 1979, “Ace of Spades” in 1980, “Iron Fist” in 1982 and of course the classic live album “No Sleep ’til Hammersmith” in 1981. In the early eighties Fast Eddie was either fired from Motörhead or depending on who’s telling the story, left of his own volition. Either way he was headed towards even greater commercial success with his new band FASTWAY, which he’d set up with Pete Way, at the time, of UFO. From there started a rock n’ roll roller coaster ride which by the early nineties had brought Eddie to the verge of death and forced him out of the public eye. Now, after two decades, Eddie has finally chosen to return to the stage with his newly assembled lineup of FASTWAY. We’re very proud to be able to present to you this interview with the great man himself where, with admirable candor, Fast Eddie recounts some of the various chapters of his colourful career. Rock on!

(Addiotional comments by J. Huovila – Thanks)

Wow! This is the seventh time that the Finnish Metal-Rules squad made an invasion to the mighty Swedenrock festival. Almost 70 bands descended upon the southern area of Sweden for a festival that turned out to be an utter blast from the beginning to the end! The bill of Swedenrock festival 2007 covers a wide range of metal styles and even classic rock stuff such as Kreator to Black Oak Arkansas and everything between. Therefore, there was at least something for everyone who attended the festival. As usual, the whole festival was once again sold out with around 30,000 people at the area every day. The Swedenrock festival has always had tremendous luck with the weather every year. Once again the gods of weather had given their blessing for this rocking metallic heaven on the earth with an extreme hot and sunny weekend that burned red the skin of several festival goers.

As written in the first sentence, this is already the seventh time that the Swedenrock festival has been featured in the site of Metal-Rules.com, so it is quite logical for us to give an in-depth article of several bands performing at Swedenrock. However we are not able to cover every band, but hopefully you will have a pleasant reading moment… Enjoy !!!

It?s not every day that someone gets to talk with god. Recently, Duke from Metal-Rules.com did just that when he had a discussion with Lemmy of Mot?rhead.  With the band celebrating its 30th anniversary and Lemmy?s recent lifetime achievement award Duke speaks to Lemmy about his career, unfulfilled goals, WWII memorabilia, smoking bans, and lots of other topics. So enough out of me, let?s hear from the man, the legend?LEMMY!
