R.I.P. Thread (Page 42 of 43)

Roger Kynard Erikson, one of the pioneers of psychedlic type music from the 70s, the 13th Floor Elevators....... but he also went on to make several solo albums and others with the alternate band The Aliens. I never really got used to the jug sound they they had going, most if not all of his solo stuff did not have the jug thing going. He passed on May 31, I just heard about it today   RIP Roky

Thanks RoadcaseBoy for the notice.  Dr John was a gifted musician and singer.  As much as I love Bruce I don't think his version's too convincing compared to the original.  Not southern Nawlins enough I'd say.

Also would like to say RIP to Leon Redbone, who passed as well this week.  He fell into that same unique category of entertainers as Dr John.

RIP Joan Arts, Bonabuddy. She hadn't been on here in sometime so I don't recall her username....
Here's a pic of her with Joe her friend posted that goes back a while.
She fought battle with the damn %^&(^&(()*&^$ cancer and kept a great attitude. She was a kind soul...there isn't always justice with karma

Barrie Masters, the lead singer of the band Eddie and the Hot Rods, has died aged 63.
Formed in Canvey Island, Essex in 1975, they were part of the pub rock scene which included Dr Feelgood and Ian Dury’s band Kilburn and the High Roads. The band were best known for their top 10 hit in 1977, Do Anything You Wanna Do. They also had top 40 hits with Teenage Depression and Quit This Town.
Masters was the original singer of the band, and was their only constant member. The band kicked off their career with residencies in London clubs alongside The 101ers before being signed to Island Records in the mid-1970s.
Over the years they became known for their punk style and were often considered as one of the founding groups of the genre with their loud, frenetic live sets.
Band guitarist Richard Holgarth described him as the “perfect frontman” and a “composite of a rock and roller”.
“Someone with a voice that could strip paint. Someone who had a capacity for having a great time that was unmatched and just looked the part completely,” he said.

I did see Ginger play, once, his, brief occupancy of Hawkwind's drum-stool. Not his happiest employ, but ever the professional, he gave it the beans... Just don't call him a "Rock" drummer....
