    "the darkness who?"

    your giving them that one trick pony that long, most generous methinks, depends when the second album comes out though, i think they're milking permission to land (actually no fuck off the darkness....) with another single lifted from it.

    He's an amazing performer who has written some classic songs, don't see why everyone has such a problem with him, 'Goodbye yellow brick road', Sacrifice, Benny and the jets, I'm still standing, classic rock/pop. As a performer he ceratinly rates as one of the best i've ever seen, and I've seen a few great ones. I went to see him last year the same week i went to see Iron maiden, i was much more looking forward to maiden, and Elton John gave the better and longer show and the sound was much better, basically was just better !!

    Cheers

    thats as well stuart but the man has done an awful lot of pish in his time, more pish than good stuff, the early to mid 80's period for example.... actually all his 80's stuff and most of his 90's stuff but you know you gotta respect him for lasting the distance.....

  6. just got this from the fodderstompf website, john was guitarist with PIL, magazine and siouxsie & the banshees....

    John McGeoch RIP (1955-2004)

    John McGeoch sadly passed away in his sleep on Friday 5th

    March.

    John joined PiL in 1986 helping to form the 'new' re-invented

    band with John Lydon. He would go on to become their longest

    serving member, bar Lydon, staying from 1986-1992, and

    playing on three studio albums ('Happy?', '9' & 'That What is Not')

    along with countless live gigs. McGeoch, along with Alan Dias,

    would form the backbone of the "new" PiL, contributing

    song-writing and acting a full member.

    Often touted as one of Lydon's most important collaborator's,

    McGeoch's arrival in PiL changed the whole sound and outlook

    of the band, with a more guitar friendly 'rockier' sound becoming

    the way forward.

    Pre-PiL McGeoch had been guitarist for the seminal 'Magazine'

    and would later become a member of 'Siouxsie & the Banshees',

    contributing some of their most interesting and exciting guitar

    work.

    After PiL John returned to England from LA. 1995 saw him

    become a qualified Nurse. However, he chose not to pursue the

    career, and returned to making music...

    RIP John, you'll be sadly missed...

    Sincerest Sympathy to his daughter Emily, and all his loved

    ones...
