Andy Rourke RIP

Post by BROKENHEART »

Great bass player in a very influential band in my life and I'm sure in a lot of people's lives. No matter what you think of Morrissey, you cannot take away the wonderful music that The Smiths produced in such a short window.
RIP Andy Rourke.

Huh ... didn't know he passed away ? Often overlooked in the Smiths with Morrissey and Johnny Marr. R.I.P.

Another one lost to cancer. Marvelous bass player. I had the pleasure of seeing The Smiths in 1984 and 1985 when he was at the peak of his powers. RIP.

No one ever mentions just how powerful The Smiths were as a live band. I saw the at least 3 times and it always amazed me just how much they blew me away live. Very much a band driven by the rhythm section. Listening to that Live in Boston CD which is part of the Queen Is Dead box set. Stunning.
Sleep well Andy.
