´No Class´ is another video from Wendy O. Williams´ concert at the Camden Palace in 1985 for the program Live From London, produced by Philip Goodhand-Taite and directed by Rod Swenson. Wendy and the Plasmatics did very few cover songs but this Motorhead song (with the ZZ Top sound alike intro) was one of them. It was first worked up for the Plasmatics “Coup D’Etat” album. The original demo version can be heard on “Coup De Grace” the demo version of the album recorded in 1982 a few months before “Coup D’Etat” was recorded. During this same period Wendy did the “Stand By Your Man” single/EP Lemmy from Motorhead (with Plasmatics guitarists and Motorhead rhythm sections) and this was one of the songs on the B side (this one being a Motorhead song which Wendy sang, and the other one “Masterplan” a Plasmatics song which Lemmy sang). The three piece band seen here (a departure from the Plasmatics usual 4-piece line-up) is composed by: - Michael Ray, the wunderkind guitarist discovered by Gene Simmons in 1982 on lead and rhythm guitar. He also played on the WOW album, the Kommander of Kaos album, and later on the Plasmatics' Maggots: The Record album; - Greg Smith on bass, who later played with everyone from Alice Cooper, Ronnie James Dio, Ted Nugent and others. He was the touring bass player for the WOW album (on which Gene Simmons played bass for the studio version), and then the Kommander of Kaos album; - TC Tolliver, Plasmatics long-term heavy hitter on drums. He also played on the Plasmatics “Coup D'Etat“ album, the WOW album, as well as Kommander of Kaos.
