Visage, he played on the 313 favorite Frequency 7.)

JOHN McGEOCH

1955-2004

I was shocked and saddened to hear that John passed away in his sleep 
last

Thursday.

Although we hadn't worked together for a long time and I hadn't seen him
for a couple of years he was always in my heart and often in my 
thoughts.


Without doubt the most inventive guitarist of our generation and my 
favourite Banshee.


Love to all his friends and family.

Bye John

Having seen John with both Magazine and the Banshees, I can only agree
with Steve - he was an amazing guitar player with a sound like no one
else.  I'm stunned.  The Light Pours Out Of Me, indeed.

Agreed. This info was fwded to me by a friend early yesterday. I met him 
after Magazine played Bookies in Detroit. Sad stuff - I wonder why he died?
