(Rock News Desk) Motorhead drummer Mikkey Dee says former guitarist Wurzel, who died at the weekend of heart failure aged 61, was the master of the band's classic simple song construction.

Wurzel, real name Michael Burston, was a member of Lemmy's outfit from 1984 until 1995. His first songwriting credit with them was the single Killed By Death and his final contributions appeared on the album Sacrifice.

But even though he'd departed under a cloud following fallouts with Lemmy over business arrangements, he remained friends with his former colleagues. See what Mikkey had to say here
