I have tickets for Shellac next month. 
A damn legend of a music man, and I'm incredibly sad that I won't see him perform again.

His own stuff isn’t, and I’m not sure if any of the many albums he’s recorded are blues rocks.
That’s fine. No need to apologize. I was one of the three thread starters though. As I said in my opening post, I really didn’t know what to say. These deaths are a bit weird, some upset you a lot more than others.Sorry HT, wasn’t really aimed at you as you are not the thread starter. (Unless you started another one and it got merged)

Aww man!
This sucks..
Big Black were genius.
Obviously not everyone's cup of tea, but I loved them.

Although I read the news of his passing here and being "into" music, I knew of Steve mostly through poker where he is (was) very highly regarded.
He won 2 WSOP bracelets which is no mean feat and we played in the same WSOP event in May 2012.

For a certain agegroup and a specific genre of music fans, the man was a genius.
Mainly famous as a producer of bands such as Nirvana, PJ Harvey, Wedding present.
Very influential and much revered.
But for me, his greatest work, was as the frontman for Big Black - an abrasive and irreverent American punk band.

One of the most influential figures in the music scene. Am devastated by this, especially as we were going to see Shellac next month. Thank you for your bloody-minded contribution.

Am also guilty of this, but it least it illustrates the impact of the sheer brilliance.
