Never a big name, perhaps the ultimate cult band, but sadly passed away at 59. One of the best bands I saw live. RIP
 
Biggest attention seeking wanker in music.

Right up there with David Thomas. Loved RFTT though.

Saw them live. They were shit.

Just look at him in this video.

He's the fat cunt with the specs.

Ironic that he died from a cardiac.

Kicks the drummer in the head and hits the female sax player.

A self-deluding wanker who saw himself as some misunderstood musical genius that made this kind of behaviour justifiable and acceptable.

Utter wanker and a total cunt.


Though I have no firm opinions of him either way.

The irony had not escaped me. As much as I enjoyed them live, I thought the records were atrocious.

Spot on ..total shite tbh. Surprised to see him even recognised....I know it sounds harsh...but it's very true.
 
Bloke died wasting away in a wheelchair, looks like he impacted upon a few people.
