"The Fabulous Wailers, The Leaves, The 13th Floor Elevators and The Seeds would have been some heavy shit with or without the Beatles. Would the Beatles have been nearly as heavy without them? I find that very doubtful. The Beatles were a pop…"
Kicks just got easier to find.

I was close to the band around 1985-88. Candy Del Mar was a pal of mine when I was a teenager so I met the band a couple of times. There was a time when they were my absolute favorite band! This is sad news indeed. Trying to get some info but it is difficult at the moment. Keep us posted.
Stay sick

Horrible, horrible news.
Their music, along with the interview w/ Lux and Poison Ivy in Incredibly Strange Music, Vol. 1had a profound effect on my life.
Lux dies, but Bono lives. There is no god, and if there is, he has pathetic taste in music.

Holy fuck...
It goes without sayin' that the Cramps are one o' the most trashy bands (and one o' my top favs of all time!) and without them turnin' me on this sleaze...well, shit I don't wanna think about that...fuckin' sad.
Does anyone have any other sources other than the Daily Swarm (which ain't the most journalistic)
Glad I got to see 'em live a few years back...sad I only got to see 'em once...
Poor Poison Ivy...fuckin' sad. -

"Poor Poison Ivy...fuckin' sad."

nooooooooooooo! This really hurts...my stomach just dropped about 12 flights. The Cramps were such a big influence on my music and a great doorway to the whole garage scene. I guess I feel pretty dam lucky to see them a couple a years ago. Fuck! Ron Asheton now Lux. Rest in Peace.

I'm sorry guys... here's confirmation. from a press release received by PJ at Dirty Water...
Aleix Martinez, the Cramps' publicist, tells me it's true. "Lux passed away this morning due to an existing heart condition at Glendale Memorial Hospital in Glendale, California at 4:30 AM PST today. The family requests that you respect their privacy during this difficult time. "
all I can say is fuck. -

RJFait replied to Reverend Stevee Ray's discussion the Beatles ... why NOT ?"I don't hate the Beatles, I just think the bulk of their work was gutless pop. At some point in the middle they started getting better drugs or something and put out a few good records. Then, they went right back to gutless pop."
RJFait replied to Rocco's discussion The Age Ole Question; Beatles or Stones?"It's funny that you ask this. I've always said, there are 2 kinds of people, Beatles and Stones, and they don't mix well. I am definitely Stones, my wife is Beatles. If only I'd asked 11 years ago..."
RJFait replied to matthew rosedon's discussion Too old to rock?"Yes, both pushing 70, and the last time I saw Charlie he was practically dying from the flu and still performed with more energy and rocked harder than just about any other punk singer I've seen of any age. Iggy Pop is 25 years older than I am…"
