Obituaries

[Outside_Lookin_in]

This seems to have gone by unnoticed! The drummer of one of the most iconic bands, which straddled the pop/garage genres.

Gordon 'Snowy' Fleet

It makes more sense to have all obituaries in one place, rather than scattered around and adding to the melee of threads; so hopefully others will post teen beat death notices here in future.

I didn't know.

RIP Snowy

1:10 Go Snowy!

PS. I think individuals deserve their own thread. What you need is a separate Obituaries forum

 

[Outside_Lookin_in]

Sure, that would work. If someone wants to move the whole thread...

If there was a separate Obituaries forum way down the list of forums, it would probably be largely ignored by many members. G45Central already has more forums than actve members!

A compromise would be to keep this thread going for notices of perhaps lesser interest, for artists in related genres, but make separate threads for VIP obituaries of major importance to our mutual interest in '60s garage.

In which case Snowy should have his own thread.

Mentioning related genres, I would like to acknowledge the recent deaths of:

David Johansen (New York Dolls)

Rick Buckler (The Jam)

Brian James (The Damned)

RIP chaps

Wow. That's shocking. The last Doll standing checks out. Also Brian James, one of the greats.

So sorry to hear about Gordon "Snowy's" passing. My everlasting respects to one of the greatest of the greats. Bang that drum up there my friend.

It seems Larry Tamblyn fron The Standells has passed away also.

Oh no. I haven’t heard that. Great guy.
