Notable Deaths

[Pentagrimes]

Apparently John Brenner of Revelation has died at 59. A part of me had hoped that the reigniting of Warning, with Patrick Walker citing Brenner as an important influence on his writing, might somehow kick-start Revelation. Pity that will never happen now. I know nothing about the man, but I have a few Revelation albums in the collection and always felt they were a unique entity. RIP to an underground legend.

Am I imagining it or did Revelation play the Voodoo Lounge?I know I saw them at least once. But yes . RIP , wasnt an enormous fan but I'm old enough to absolutely understand he was  a pioneer, I remember the first Revelation and first Penance coming out and picking both up.

Against Nature opened for Warning, along with The River, in The Voodoo in 07. They comprised, I think, all members of Revelation!

Noo..I definitely saw Revelation. Mustn't have been in Dublin

Against Nature was the exact same heads as the Salvations Answer lineup or Revelation.
Revelation with the exact same lineup did a few dates in Europe around 2010 I think? Can't recall if they played here round then? I do remember hearing that Brenner had come here for a holiday around that time too.

Sad to think both of Revelations singers are gone now with Dennis Cornelius passing away a few years ago too.

It doesn't go into specifics but examines the differing perspectives on public figures after their deaths.

A couple of the more gossipy whatsapp chats I'm in are saying the rumour is Castleknock Hotel for the "missing" four hours between Wren's Nest closing time and the crash. Chewing it up they are!

Gee-wiz lads all these musicians, actors, etc. popping off these last few years.
They're dropping like professional athletes!

Definitely something fishy going on. Some of them had survived no problem for eight decades or more before the cruel 2020s mysteriously robbed us of them!

I read the report of her death in the paper this morning. I didn't know much about her. I watched a bit of the first season of "Heroes" back in the day but it wasn't my thing.

Her personal life sounded fairly grim from how The Guardian covered it.
