Fucking tragic! He and Jaz were due in teh studio in the coming week.
A genius guitar player and I mean it.
He was charming, witty, cruel and akward, loved and admired.
Such a shame. Such a fucking shame.

Re: Strangler in the light

Re: The Great CD vs Vinyl debate
Vinyl for the groove, digital on the move! Agree that Japanese vinyl is always the best but modern vinyl is also perfectly fine. Pressing plants vary. I compared an original pressing of the Banshees Tinderbox vs new. The new was by far better! Possibly due to it being remastered. Who knows. What I d...

Re: The Damned Show
I thought he was Ok but didn't have the flair that Scabies or Pinch had.

Re: Strangler in the light
Yet you spend a lot of time on here. You're time is invested on here. Jim Yet, surprisingly, despite this admitted lack of actual book related knowledge, you still have an opinion on what it (maybe) says in said book?

Re: Strangler in the light

Re: Strangler in the light
Why do you have no interest in the book? Jim I spoke with JE a couple of times and he was very pleasant. Not an exuberant chap perhaps but a decent sort. No idea what JJ says about him as I have no interest in the book, but from other bits n pieces it won't be positive will it? It hasn't grabbed me...
