One story dominated the world of rock and metal last week, and that was the tragic death of Motörhead’s “Fast” Eddie Clarke. This news means that all original members of rock ‘n’ roll’s greatest outlaws have passed on, leaving a legacy of destruction and whiskey behind them. The past seven days also saw Machine Head making headlines with their new song Bastards, Motionless In White revisiting their back catalogue and The Distillers announcing their first show in over a decade.
