Not sure what to say?

Different things motivate different people. Heavy Rock/Metal has moved me from the moment I first heard it in the early 1970s. When I first heard Taylor, I was blown away by the originality and intuitive playing that Motorhead its unique sound. In addition, good "anything" dosent come from an idle mind. One could see that Phil was an intelligent , beyond comedic personality.

Salute to ya Phil!
Special memories of 4 amazing Belfast gigs in the early 80's.
Plus Stafford Bingley, Leeds, Newcastle City Hall and Motorhead's finest hour: Port Vale Metal Holocaust!
Love to ya mate, you'll never be forgotten!

Philthy Animal Taylor,
A truly great character who shaped my youth with Motorhead in its original guise.
I miss you already, your passing bought tears to a 49 year old man.
I hope you know what fantastic fun times you gave millions worldwide.
I had always hoped for a reforming of your original trio, maybe just as a one off. This dream has gone forever for me.
Please RIP in paradise, you thoroughly deserve it, you are my musical inspiration.
