Sad news indeed. Saw The Troggs at Cavestomp 2000 and they were one of the high points of that weekend.

Reg was one of my all-time faves. I'm truly sad.

I second.

A truly stellar group. Their debut and the run of Page One 45s is perhaps my most regular spin when relaxing in the mancave.

RIP Reg.

A commercial for that new zombie movie, Warm Bodies, plays 'With A Girl Like You' (one of my faves) in the background. I wonder if it's on the soundtrack?

Killer little Zombie love story. You need to go. It's not on the soundtrack and I don't remember it being in the movie. I think it's only in the trailer.

My brother had, I tried to steal / long term borrow it a few times, Trogglodynamite autographed by the whole band under the mysterious message "We love your pussy Sally Ann Merdot".

Always loved how Reg sang through what seemed gritted teeth.

The Troggs were the most garage punk of all the '60s UK groups. RIP Reg.

I remember thinking this might not be too far away when he retired earlier this year.

I will always love The Troggs!
