I came across JD by accident about 8 months before IC died, it was a completely new sound for me at the time (realise now there were similar unknown bands) and yes I remember what happened in May 1980. Thanks :thumbsup::rock:
was irritated by your post at first, but thinking about it you're right, never made that connection before.
IC's lifestyle was totally at odds with his illness, he did fit on stage, the lights wouldn't have helped that's for sure
Manic Street Preachers, I don't think I'd heard of them before Richie Edwards vanished : 0 (
Sorry to admit I've never heard of Chester Bennington ... rest in peace
