I know Its hard to get past his face but ...look at his arm ... whats going on there? The old "pickled in alcohol" theory may apply here.

We have a 74.
Paul Kantner of Jefferson Airplane died of a heart attack.

also Singe Anderson, the original singer for the Jefferson Airplane passed away recently. She was every bit as good as Grace Slick, but chose to become a Mum and gave up the music biz, making way for Grace. Grace is still very much alive, at 75, doesn't sing but paints a lot.

We need a 75 in Dead Rockers Bingo, but I think we need 71,72 and 73 first

Bon Scott died on this date in 1980

 

[Pig Champion]

Vi Subversa died at 80 on the 19th, singer, guitarist with Poison Girls, an anarcho punk band from back in the day.

Only a few of the originals
Martin plaza , greedy and maybe the bass player
Reg left yonks ago
The drummer got sacked for being no good at it
"Nips" has one of the best bass lines ever written I reckon.
Very underrated band
Their silly pops songs kind of crueler them a bit.
Greedys songs pretty much sucked
Martin plaza wrote some great ones IMO

 

[bad boy bubby]

Only Martin and Greedy, bass player is Reg's brother, they still have Dog Trumpet playing occasionally.

Sir George Martin has died according to ABC

Hoax has been suggested elsewhere though

 

[Feej]

Ringo confirmed on Twitter.

 

[carcharias]

Beatles - I reckon probably the best pop band ever
Definitely one of , (if not )the greatest songwriters ever.
And that's not including George Harrison's contribution.

I saw Colin hay on Sat night and he told a story of how his dad told him about the Beatles .
His dad owned a music store in Scotland .
Colin become obsessed .
Then eventually ended up playing in Ringos all star band.

f**k Colin hay was unreal BTW
Sweet Cuban band he has.
All acoustic
Insane guitar player .
Lots of that diddly diddly stuff

Anyway
Yep sir George - one of the greatest .
Changed the world in terms of music .

 

[Bastard Squad]

I can't think of another producer to have such a huge impact on music.

George Martin was the polish that made the Beatles shine so brightly.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Not many here would have heard of Dead Moon, great band out of Portland, their drummer Andrew Loomis died today.
Dead Moon influenced a helluva lot of people, one of them being Pearl Jam, who covered a few of their songs.
I played a couple of shows with them, last time I got drunk with Andrew was in 2004 at The Khyber Pass pub in Philly.
R.I.P

You too George.

 

[bad boy bubby]

Good lawd I forgot to put this one up earlier in the week, maybe because his guitar riff is Manlys theme song :sarcasm:

Ross Hannaford lead guitarist of Daddy Cool died aged 65.
