@prpx It was a total gut punch when I read it. I had no idea he was even sick. Was fortunate to have seen them 3 times,twice with The Stooges opening.

I think I've died and gone to hell. Would have loved to see this live

as a non-drummer I can't stress enough how much I enjoy Gavin Harrison

Mexican hard rockers. Never heard of them before. But it’s good.

[endo]

wish I had ever seen Joe Strummer, did anybody of you?

[Jett129]

@endo Saw The Clash 3 times,if that’s what you mean.

[endo]

@Jett129 knew you must have, how was it?

[Giles]

Saw the Clash a few times. There was a venue in Birmingham (cant remember the name) that used to put on punk bands all the time, frequented it a lot in my late teens.....Damned, Adverts, The Ruts and the like......

[endo]

cool, wish I had

[Jett129]

@endo They were a really great band. The second time I saw them they were opening up for The Who,and me and everyone I was with thought they had upstaged them. It was right about the time when London Calling came out.

@Giles damn that’s so awesome. Really love the Adverts, would’ve been super cool so see ‘em.

[tody]

@popvulture TV Smith has been in my neck of the woods two weeks ago, playing an Adverts set. He still can deliver a great show!

[popvulture]

@tody that’s awesome! I’ve heard his solo stuff and love it, and I knew he was still out there — glad to hear he’s still bringing the goods. I haven’t been paying tons of attention to see if he comes to the states, but from what I gather, not too often. I need to double check on that.

Love the Ruts too — both are super underrated.

[tody]

@popvulture He has been involved with Die Toten Hosen for some time now. 2001, they put out the "Useless" album, with them as his backing band. That's a superb record.

And Babylon's Burning by the Ruts is one of these all time classics...

As we're on the topic of UK punk - here's one of them new bands, they are quite promising:

[popvulture]

@tody hell yeah — thanks man! I’ll give these guys a listen.
