The rhythm section of Dave Anderson and Terry Ollis was replaced by Lemmy and Simon King, both of whose style differed notably from their predecessors. This changed the band’s overall musical direction. Lemmy was a self-confessed inept guitarist who used volume and stagecraft to cover his lack of ability. He became a bassist by accident after joining the band, thinking he was replacing Huw Lloyd Langton. Lemmy said{{cquote|I knew the guitarist because he took eight tabs of acid and then we never saw him for five years. However, Dave Brock decided to play lead and continue without a second guitarist. Hawkwind’s bass guitarist failed to turn up and Lemmy was available. He said:{{cquote|I learned to play bass onstage with Hawkwind… I go out onstage with this bass around my neck, and it was a Rickenbacker, too. The bass player, like an idiot, left his bass in the truck. So I’m learning. Nik Turner says to make some noises in E. “This one’s called You Shouldn’t Do That.” Then he walks away. This led to Lemmy’s very unorthodox technique. Lemmy stated:{{cquote|I just don’t play like a bass player. There are complaints about me from time to time. It’s not like having a bass player; it's like having a deep guitarist. King’s drumming was more square beat and “rock” than the jazzier free-flowing Ollis.
