No Remorse

Product Information

Lemmy recalled later that friction between the band and their label, Bronze, began in 1982 with the sudden departure of guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke. The label had been unhappy with Robertson's hiring as Clarke's replacement, and with little faith in the band's brand new lineup, a decision was made to release a "greatest hits"-style compilation of the band's earlier material. Lemmy viewed this as an indication that the label were "readying the death knell" for Motörhead, and thus he insisted that the album that would become No Remorse contain some new material.

I had a good talk to myself and thought, 'Well, maybe it's about time I move on,' you know. 'Cause I enjoyed playing with Robbo so much, maybe I'll get a band together with him, or something like that. I didn't really have a plan.."

Around early September, the band took a break to write a couple of songs for what would be their next album Orgasmatron. One of them, "Nothing Up My Sleeve", would be added into the setlist after that. Partway through the UK leg, in early November 1984, Wurzel had to step out for a couple of shows due to having kidney stones, so the band simply kept going as a three-piece. During the show at Hammersmith Odeon, he was taken out on a wheelchair and played a couple of songs. [4]The No Remorse Tour, sometimes called No Remorse Death on the Road Tour was a concert tour by heavy metal band Motörhead in support of their compilation album, No Remorse. It would be the first tour for the new line up of Phil Campbell, Würzel, and Pete Gill. Biography Lemmy was dismissed from Hawkwind in May 1975 after being arrested in Canada for drug possession. He decided to form a new band called Motörhead, the name being inspired by the final song he had written for his previous band. In the following months, the band became so unstable that by March 1978, Clarke and Taylor had formed and were performing under the name “The Muggers” along Keen and Heartbreakers’ Billy Rath. Lemmy also participated in short-lived group The Doomed, alongside 3 out of 4 of former members of The Damned. In July though, the band’s new manager secured a one-off single deal with Bronze Records. The resulting single, " Louie Louie / Tear Ya Down", was issued in September, and as a result the band appeared for the first time on BBC's Top of the Pops.

Although we didn't discuss his reasons for leaving the band, I think part of it was because he wanted to become a serious musician, or whatever it is people think heavy metal isn't which, if you ask me, is total bullshit...And our troubles with Brian Robertson aside, Philthy was one of the biggest Thin Lizzy fans in existence...There we were with auditions to do that day with two guitarists who had travelled from Cheltenham and Wales. Now I didn't have a drummer! But I have to admit, Phil was a gentleman about the whole thing...He did leave decently, unlike some of Motörhead's former members.."

The reissued 2CD versions have included the Stand by Your Man EP done with the Plasmatics, commonly thought of as the reason Clarke left the band. This is the only reissue of the full EP outside its original release in 1982, although "Masterplan" and "Stand by Your Man" have appeared on other compilations. Considine, J. D. (21 June 2017).

After touring in support of their 1983 album Another Perfect Day, guitarist Brian "Robbo" Robertson and drummer Phil "Philthy Animal" Taylor left Motörhead and eventually decided to form a new band called Operator together. It had been Taylor who had suggested Motörhead hire Robertson to replace longtime guitarist "Fast" Eddie Clarke, who left the band after recording 1982's Iron Fist. Lemmy expressed that having a completely new line up of members "took ten years off of me, easy, 'cause they were so excited. The tour saw the band playing shows at Australia and New Zealand for the very first time. On 2 August, at the Shellharbour Club, Motorhead played one of their smallest shows, to a crowd of only 15 people in attendance. [2]
