Rick James on kuulemma menehtynyt kotonaan.
Olen jo pidemmän aikaa miettinyt jonkin Jamesin levyn - lähinnä Street Songsin tai Come Get It!:n - hankkimista. Kannattaako?

Taas lisää basisteja kuollut. Pelottavaa...
Oiskohan Rickillä ollut kohtalonaan elämäntavat?
Jaa sitäkö ne tossa BBC:llä näytti. Mulla on jokunen vinyyli. Voin tossa waka jossain välissä katsoa, minkä niminen muistaakseni oli paras.
Eikös Rick James ollut tunnettu kokainisti?
Oli muistaakseni vieroituksessakin joskus.
Muistaakseni jostain soulkirjasta luin että Rick James oli sellanen funkahtava artisti, jolla oli sellanen nahkamies imago....muistako väärin?
Muistat ihan oikein. Rick Jameshan oli tyyliltään tuollainen suuren maailman Mattiesko Hytönen.
Joo, muistin oikein :D
Nyt kun muistais vielä sen kirjan nimen...
Se oli sellanen suomalaisten heebojen kirjoittama, ja siinä kerrottiin Soulin, Funkin ja Rapin historia. Oisko ollut joku syke?
Street Songsin olen kuullut. Hitit ainakin miellyttivät (Give It To Me Baby ja Super Freak) ja oli kai ne muutkin ihan mukiinmenevää.
NME:
CAUSE OF RICK JAMES' DEATH REVEALED
RICK JAMES had nine drugs in his body including cocaine, valium, vicodin and methamphetamine when he died in his sleep on August, according to a coroners report.
The funk legend passed away in his Los Angeles home of a heart attack aged 56, but the report released yesterday (September 16) said that the drugs in his system most likely contributed to the organs failure.
A diabetes sufferer, James had a pacemaker and had been in fragile health following a stroke in 1998. Best known for his 1981 hit Super Freak, the star had been hooked on crack cocaine and once proclaimed himself an "icon of drug use and eroticism".
According to Reuters, the coroner listed nine drugs, including prescription medications for anxiety, pain relief and heart failure, along with cocaine and methamphetamine that were found in James body.
An autopsy failed to establish the cause of death, and toxicology tests were ordered after a Los Angeles County coroner took over the case because James had not seen a doctor in recent weeks.
The report said: "None of the drugs or drug combinations were found to be at levels that were life-threatening in and of themselves."
The singers family attributed his death to natural causes, and the coroner said the cause was a heart attack and ruled the death as accidental.
Before his death James had finished recording an album and was in talks with studios in Hollywood for a movie about his life. As previously reported on NME.COM, The American Society Of Composers, Authors and Publishers honoured James in June by presenting him with the Rhythm & Soul Heritage Award.
Tarkennetaan vähän:
Alprazolam (Xanax), Diazepam (Valium), Bupropion (Wellbutrin), Citalopram (Celexa), Hydrocodone (Vicodin), Digoxin, Chlorpheniramine, methamphetamine, and cocaine.
...ei noista ihan kaikkia lääkäri voi reseptillä määrätä & apteekista asiakas hakea....
Osa noista rauhoittaa ja osa piristää. Jos vetää hirvittävän määrän piristeitä ja rauhottavia, niin olo on keskimääräisen normaali. Jep.
Jatketaan tähän topicciin...
Progressive earsin foorumilta:
"Saturday 18th december, the wellknown Dick Heckstall-Smith died of cancer aged 70. Born as Richard Malden in 1934 he started out playing with blues legends such as Alexis Korner and John Mayall. He also worked together with Mick Jagger, Jack Bruce and Ginger Baker. He is also wellknown for his contribution to Colosseum before forming his own band Manchild. So another 'legend' has left us."

...tais olla Colosseumissa tuo Dick....
Wääh, miksei mulle kerrottu? http://www.timesonline.co.uk/article/0,,60-1485701,00.html

VERY SAD NEWS - PIERRE HAS GONE
I learnt from Didier in the last hour that Pierre Moerlen died at home in Strasbourg on Monday night.
The first time I met Pierre in person was in 1989 or 1990 when he came to stay at the house I shared with Daevid in Somerset. The three of us went out to eat at a local café, The Blue Note, which as it's name implies often had live music in the evenings. Two very good local jazz musicians, John Cartwright & Jackie Whitren were playing that night and as a happy Pierre got into what they were doing he started to play along using just his hands on the table top. In fact he got so into it that after a while, on the appreciative nod of John Cartwright at the electric piano, he even took a solo. And when he came to the end of the solo the whole, full café burst into loud spontaneous applause - he'd been that good. Jonny

"Pierre was the most technically skilful drummer I ever played with. At his peak - probably around the 'You' album period - there was none finer. I am very grateful that we were able to revisit our creative marriage when he returned to Gong in 1997 through 1999. A lot of old ghosts were laid to
rest. I will miss him." - Mike Howlett[/quote]
