As many of you have heard, Greg Johnson passed away on Dec. 4, 2009.
There have been a number of radio tributes to Greg in the past 10 days, archived as podcasts.
I made it easy for you. I uploaded all 3 tribute podcasts, they're inside .RAR files…
Shit! I just read from Sean's myspace (and i see he posted here too) that he passed on. This week is just getting shittier by the moment.
Wow...sorry to hear that. I once put on a show in Oly, WA and invited the Worst to play. While it sucks to be suffering through an aneurysm, I guess he should be glad he's Canadian. In the states, he'd have to sell his house just to cover the hospit…
For those who haven't already heard: Greg Johnson, lead singer of the Fiends and respected member of the Vancouver music scene for many years recently had a double aneurysm and is in serious condition in the hospital. I'm told that all things consid…

Jimmyspaz said… - FYI I thought you read my profile on londonpunkrockkicksass where Isay I was at the demics first(in aloft on Dundas Street) to last(Murray Torrances bush)gigs. I didn't count that time at the Ridout for the reasons I stated, don't think it really counts, I think they only knew 4 songs at that point. How did they sound?

- Yeah, at the Ridout right? I meant their first "gig" as such. All a matter of defination I suppose, Besides I only heard about the Ridout thing later from Keith and Nick, so can't pretend I was there...
