There's a wonderful story in Lemmy's autobiography, White Line Fever, about when Motörhead played a Hell’s Angels show at Hackney Speedway and the Angels took a dislike to then-guitarist Brian Robertson.
“Who's that c**t with the fucking shorts on?”
“That's Motörhead's new guitar player.”
“Ah, let's kill him!”
And they were not alone! Formerly known for playing with Thin Lizzy, Brian was not a popular replacement for Fast Eddie, particularly given his fashion sense – or lack thereof. Like Lemmy said, “Ballet shoes and Motörhead do not mix!” Likewise, his one album with the band, Another Perfect Day, was largely hated at the time – being a vast departure from previous records – but ironically it has become a fan-favourite over the years, arguably one of their finest. Sure, it's the black sheep of the family, and Robbo fit the band like a hippo in a paddling pool, but one only has to hear the bassline on this opening track to know that it's something special and we were all wrong. Top notch, indeed.
