it is pretty tasty - Guess you can`t credit him for the main elastic band stretching riff throughout as Shelley penned it?

From "remember-the-eighties"

"SIOUXSIE & THE BANSHEES, MAGAZINE, and PUBLIC IMAGE LIMITED guitarist JOHN McGEOCH died in his sleep last week at the age of 48. The much sought after guitarist stopped performing after becoming a qualified nurse in 1995 but worked with a host of acts including GENERATION X, ULTRAVOX, and VISAGE."

Siouxsie once said he's the only Banshess guitarist she ever respected, and the only one she'd ever have back in the band. He would have been on the last Tour but couldn't make it.

RIP
