Screaming Lord Sutch killed himself, sadly.

I donno what differance that makes, Cromwell's dead too*.
Although his Cat is surely less eligent in writtings.

Also, I always stop myself writting 'such' as 'Sutch', because that is how I say it.

* Oldest politition I can think of.

I was just remarking that he'd topped himself. Very sad.
He was a real pioneer in rock'n'roll as well - Alice Cooper nicked his stage act wholesale (he freely admits this), coffins and horror makeup etc - and his drummer Carlo Little was a major influence on (and at one point tutor of) Keith Moon of The 'Oo.

Bartleby saw him live in Wembley in 1973.

I saw Sutch & Co at the Station Tavern back in the early Nineties.
His guitarist, Little Lenny, was only fractionally taller than the Strat he (Lenny) was playing ...

Haha
The problem with his music is that it was shit. He really wasn't very good was he?

Agreed - I think Sutch and Lenny were sitting in with some other band's rhythm section.
I can remember the band's usual lead chap (think it was Mo'Indigo if memory serves, it was a long time ago) sitting there looking a little bit shellshocked as the Loonies rampaged around in a blues style ... it was funny to watch though!
