NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO

Still think Heart of Glass is one of the greatest pieces of drumming in music history.

Oh no

He was part of their current line up wasn’t he?

 

[GNL]

Oh man

 

[Joseph]

Oh no

 

[AGinAg (37)]

Oh that's shit.

The disco drums were the second best part of Blondie.

That's a sad one. He played with many more than just Blondie and was widely regarded as one of the nicest men in the industry. A modest man who played what the song needed rather than indulging himself. RIP.

Gutted

Just reminded that he also played drums for Bootleg Blondie which I love.

 

[lolly]

Oh no

Isn't he the one largely responsible for Blondie going a lot more pop? Well, and Michael Chapman

[POP!]

Oh no. This shook me up. His drumming was unparalleled. Dreaming and Union City Blue in particular always gave me chills.
