Re: John McGeoch- The Light Pours Out Of Me
"Siouxsie & The Banshees bassist Steven Severin describes his one-time bandmate John McGeoch as the “BEST. GUITARIST. EVER” within the pages of The Light Pours Out Of Me, and his praise is not unfounded. It’s great, then, that there is now a book dedicated to a guitarist who pursued excelle...

John McGeoch- The Light Pours Out Of Me
