John and Marco,you are both 100% right about Wurzel. He was,certainly image wise and probably musical wise,more Motorhead than the band itself.I mean who leaves Motorhead because they weren't happy with the direction of the band !!!!! He also ,always,enjoyed himself so much at every gig I saw him play,and was always happy to chat after a gig. I never saw Eddie and I like Phils playing a lot but they aren't (weren't) the Motorhead guitarist that was Wurzel. RIP Wurzel -it was a fucking pleasure

Mark... I have a sad story with Wurzel... and in the end with Animal too... In 1992 they came to Brazil for a gig.. I was working and a friend told me the hotel they booked in ... I ran to the place and really wasn´t prepared for that meeting .... no cell phone at the time lol so you didn´t have a camera with you ... Found out Wurzel and Animal... Got they signature in a book I was reading.. .the Babylon one... So i just saw this guy with a camera ... and asked him if he could take a picture of me and them ... and he agreed and I was very happy. Give the guy the address on a piece o paper ... and I m still waiting for that pictures I was very upset for a long time... and after his death and when remember this episode ... damn ... it worse a lot ... Why someone would keep a picture of an unknow person? damn .. what a shame.

Wurzel and Phil were an amazing double act. Phil with his more melodic approach and Wurzel with the crazy sounds. Wurzel was the best though. His playing was touched with genius. Not many would think to use a guitar the way he did.
Up until his death, it was always my hope that he would come back and play on an album again.

All I can think of is that maybe the guy lost your address.Whatever that's shit thoughBut at least you know you met them and memories are as good as anything. Talking about meeting them,the first time I met Philthy was at Nottingham Rock City ( rock n roll tour I think,i did originally put orgasmatron but thinking about it I reckon it was R n R Tour). We were there early and Philthy was last out of the tour bus.Bearing in mind I was a star struck 19? year old I legged it over to him to get an autograph and a chat to be told "fuck off not now"!!!! Gutted at the time.Guess hed had a late night eh But it worked out for the best-got invited into the soundcheck by a girl called Fiona who was travelling with the band.The Hells Angels let us in and I later met Lemmy who signed my tattoo. So all was good in the end and Philthy ,if you ever read this-that day you were a right miserable cunt

I knew I was telling that for another reason.From the soundcheck I had some photos that I had taken.When I split with my ex misses I moved out.I then had the house back and she moved out and the photos along with some tshirts and other stuff had gone!!!! Oh well like I said at least we have the memories.Off to have another beer now
