Motorhead's Mikkey Dee has paid tribute to the band's former guitarist Michael 'Würzel' Burston - who died recently.
Of Wurzel, Mikkey told Swedish newspaper Expressen: "He was wonderful. He wrote lots of fucking great Motorhead riffs. I remember missing that when he was not in the band anymore. I missed the simple, classic Motorhead riffs. We never wrote those after that. They ended with him.
"There was a lot of rock and roll in the old man."
Wurzel passed away on 9 July at the age of 61. He joined Motorhead in 1984 and left in 1995.
“He was playing this kit that had cushions in it and tape all over it. It didn’t sound like Rodge”: Queen hated Roger Taylor’s drum sound on their debut album so much that they “augmented” every beat for its reissue
“It’s his message, to let the world know how he feels about all the things that’s going on in the world”: Kool and the Gang drummer spent 20 years on a solo album but didn’t live to see its release
