Würzel was a great guitarist for Motörhead. Probably the best after Fast Eddie Clarke.

[@larryc835]

Brilliant guitarist.

[@Nordland45]

He was a great guy . A true gentleman , and genuine as they come .

[@cunobelinusX31]

Here's one for you, back in the day, I was out in the back yard with my mate Julian Wood and Wurzel. Julian was showing me how to get the valves into the head of BSA C15, Wurzel was playing us his latest tunes from "A Band Called Bastard", my mum comes down and asks "cup of tea lads?", Oh yeah cup a tea, Wurzel goes up to help my mum with the tea. Later my mum says, I like that Michael he's a nice boy!

[@pierrelaliberte3964]

Having a character like Wurzel in a band makes the road much more tolerable.

[@9388mike]

1916 was my first motorhead album i got it because of this man right here RIP wurzel

[@raymccormick5659]

Awesome bloke

[@recman1207]

Shame don't think He ever got credit deserved! Amazing line up 'Live' and studio! Best. Thanks.

[@1914rene]

Very sad to hear about the passing of Wurzel. Heart felt condolences to his long term partner Jem.
Found memories of this Man from our Cheltenham day’s. A more genuine person you could not hope to meet, with a unique sense of humour. A privilege to have known him. “Play it loud “. Sorry mate !. X.

[@simonjarram5550]

There will only be one Wurzel. RIP mate

[@MrCaveman77]

Wurzel was great

[@nanarockband]

Great video. Thanks for posting. RIP Wurzel.

[@VARIATIONS27]

R.I.P.

[@DougieFresh13]

Best Wurzel interview I have found. Perhaps you shouldn't have mentioned the orgasmatron cover. .. It would be awesome if you post the Phil interview. Must've been in rare form!

[@THRASHFKINFILLETS]

Interviewer - "What's it like being in Motorhead Wurzel?"
Wurzel - "I dunno."

[@mmotorhead]

thanks for sharing this... awesome. The tee with Rock Brigade logo was a famous magazine of metal in Brazil late a record label too. RIP Wurzel. :(

[@badgermacleod5588]

Würzel was an excellent guitarist & seems like he was a really solid guy. RIP Würzel
Motorhead fan 🇨🇦

[@williamstevensimpson2214]

[@Mrwufpac]

R.I.P. WURZEL...MH4LIFE...

[@lemmymetalhead8819]

wurzel RIP

[@cripescate]

For fucks sake. Wurzel is dead! Its been over a month and im still floored. Rock N Roll is one of thier best. All for you and Blackheart are my two favourite motorhead songs. God bless ya Wurzel, you could rip it up.

[@philiphaynes7391]

I knew him before he was famous and known as Michael burston

[@cunobelinusX31]

Wurzel havin a laugh with some American pratt! Gloucester humour.

[@Perle3456]

@MrFrontallobotomy Thank you very much for your nice explanation!!

[@glennhertel2476]

1994

[@Perle3456]

@1959OldRocker .....you're not alone - I for one forgot all about it too - but now I know again...

[@gglaw42]

Who is interviewing him, Stuttering John's brother?

[@Perle3456]

@1959OldRocker What does "tally ho!" mean? (English's not my mother tounge)

[@Perle3456]

@1914rene Wow you're from Walsall, England, ever seen Rob Halford?

[@nanarockband]

Yo interviewer!! Let the man Wurzel actually speak, dude!! Quite cutting him off and just generally interrupting...

[@collegeasalariadoboy]

had the voice of lemmy curiously

[@TheTVisions]

Had he tried, I think he'd been a decent singer too.

[@collegeasalariadoboy]

I think also, beacause his LP from 1987 sounds great. Greetings.

[@Perle3456]

@1959OldRocker ..of course chances are slim that the commenter above you could have spotted Rob Halford as he's family lives there and he apparently owns a house or appartement there still - but you never know........Angus Young, for instance, lives in the Netherlands near the German border in a regular neighbourhood...so chances are that inhabitants could -why not?- bump into him....

[@ROOKTABULA]

How do you decide to get into being an interviewer when you have a stutter??

[@derekdiedricksen9170]

+ROOKTABULA Hey, good for him for not being held back by or concerned with it....

[@ROOKTABULA]

+Derek Diedricksen No doubt but I was I guess asking how he got into it, IE: Hired.

[@RealityCheckTV]

@THRASHFKINFILLETS priceless, no?

[@LTMusicCovers]

Shit, even here you can see the money problems lemmy was talking about

[@dannymcmince]

Great character....average guitarist at best, he didn't look healthy in this video.....dark around the eyes!

[@euroguitar7670]

Overrated......

[@olliefletcher1071]

No he ain't he's got to be one of the most underrated metal guitarist ever

[@sharktown08]

+Euro Guitar Euro Idiot
