Pete Posted October 18, 2021 Share Posted October 18, 2021 Can't believe I'm just finding this out now, but Takeshi Terauchi passed away back in June from pneumonia at 82. Japan's "God of electric guitar," who came to prominence in the 60s by fusing surf guitar sound with Japanese influences like the shamisen to spectacular effect. RIP. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 4, 2021 Share Posted November 4, 2021 Aw man, the Chapman Stick is an awesome piece of equipment. It singlehandedly (okay, Adrien Belew had a part in it too) made the '80s era of King Crimson both modern and awesome. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I almost posted that instead, not just to see Levin but to see ROBERT FRIPP SMILE. That in and of itself is incredible. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Curt McGirt Posted November 20, 2021 Share Posted November 20, 2021 Mick Rock, rock photographer #1 of the 1970s, has passed away. But this one hurts more... Hank von Helvete, former singer of Turbonegro, has passed away at 49. This is still their best album. RIP, you crazy bastard. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SturmCRF Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Gared O' Donnell, the singer from Planes Mistaken For Stars, died yesterday. Amazing band that I'm really grateful I finally got round to getting into five years ago, and saw live in London a couple of years back. All their stuff is good, but they really hit their stride on their last two albums, Mercy and Prey. I'm at a weird point in my life where almost nothing makes me cry these days, but I listened to 'Penitence' by them yesterday and was on the verge. Listening to a fifteen year old song where a man who's just died in real life imagines saying goodbye to his family and apologises for all his mistakes will do that, especially when the song's that incredible. One of the most genuinely difficult to describe bands I can think of, they sound totally singular and it was mainly down to his voice, which started gravelly and got gravellier from there. I guess they come under post hardcore, but that covers so much ground it's not much use. Just do yourself a favour and listen to Mercy. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gonzo Posted November 26, 2021 Share Posted November 26, 2021 Broadway composer Stephen Sondheim has passed away at the age of 91. I've never been a huge Broadway guy or anything, but I know enough to know that Sondheim is legendary. R.I.P. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

odessasteps Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 I just listened the other day to Mike's episode of Gilbert's podcast. He said the quote about them outselling the Beatles and Stones one year was just something he made up to tell a reporter to prove a point of inaccuracies in the media.

J.H. Posted December 10, 2021 Share Posted December 10, 2021 Mike Nesmith was a goddam genius and words do no convey how much his death hurts. My Best Friend went to see Mike and Mickey on he farewell tour and he noticed how gaunt Mike was and how frail he looked onstage, to the point several Mike songs were skipped oer on the playlist ohe could sit down and ley Mickey do e heavy lifting.
