Notable Deaths

[Carnage]

I thought he'd died a couple of years ago TBH.

[leatherface]

My bad, I guess I was seeing anniversary tributes or something. 2014 was the year. R.I.P. all the same.

[Carnage]

Ah right. Thought it was more recent than that, though. Jaysus.

I see Barry Humphries died, from complications after hip surgery. 89.

[Black Shepherd Carnage]

First Lily Savage and now Dame Edna? Drag Death Race 2023! 

[Eoin McLove]

You might even say they have both trans-scended.

[OpenSores]

You might even say they have both trans-scended.

 

[Carnage]

And it's goodbye from Jerry Springer. 79, after 'a brief illness'.

[Thorn]

Ah, always there after the pub to remind us that no matter how low you are there's always someone to look down upon

[Bürggermeister]

Johnny Fean, guitarist with Horslips died this morning. Amazing player.

[Carnage]

Ah jaysus, that's unexpected. He was gifted alright. Only got to see them once, just before Covid hit. They were mighty.

[Caomhaoin]

Saw them in their reunion tour with the auld lad in 2009 (10?)for the auld lads fiftieth, great player. To be honest, he didn't look well, even then.

[Uinsion]

Ah jaysus, that's unexpected. He was gifted alright. Only got to see them once, just before Covid hit. They were mighty.

Yeah, glad I saw them that once, in the Town Hall in Galway, yes I think it was November before Covid, if I remember correctly, Great Gig.

[Carnage]

That's where/when I saw them, yeah first week in November. They were excellent, even though Carr and O'Connor weren't there I was like a pig in shit. Bucket list gig, I grew up listening to them, my parents used to follow them around the country.

[StoutAndAle]

Frank Kozik died earlier this week.

You might not recognise the name but I'd bet that we all own at least one album/poster with his artwork on it - Melvins, QOTSA, Pearl Jam, Beastie Boys, Rollins Band etc. or a record from his Man's Ruin record Label - QOTSA (again), High On Fire, Orange Goblin, Fu Manchu, Acid King, Goatsnake etc.

[Ducky]

Oh that sucks, The Offspring's Americana album was the second I ever bought on CD, so I spent a lot of time looking at that cover.

And the first Melvin's album I bought was Houdini, and it was the sleeve that swayed me to pick that.

RIP.
