All of the original line up of Motorhead are dead now, this must be a grim first for a British band. A shame as Motorhead reinvented metal for the post punk era by ditching huge guitar solos and concept albums and concentrating on fast guitar playing and shorter songs.

The Amoo brothers, Eddie and Chris, from The Real Thing wrote the track Love’s Such A Wonderful Thing.
Thomas Bangalter and Martial Weiss, aka DJ Falcon, sampled the song for their Together project and their song was called So Much Love to Give.
Kevin O’Toole and Dale Longworth, known for recording under the name N-Trance then used the same sample for a song called er, So Much Love to Give and released it under the name Freeloaders. And theirs turned out to be the bigger hit of the two.
