R.I.P. Jaki Liebezeit

Does exactly what it says on the tin. Some of the nonsense contained herein may be very loosely related to The Sisters of Mercy, but I wouldn't bet your PayPal account on it. In keeping with the internet's general theme nothing written here should be taken as Gospel: over three quarters of it is utter gibberish, and most of the forum's denizens haven't spoken to another human being face-to-face for decades. Don't worry your pretty little heads about it. Above all else, remember this: You don't have to stay forever. I will understand.

Saw him only once, two years ago, unique, unmistakeable way of playing drums.

Very sad news.
The fundamental cause of the trouble is that in the modern world the stupid are cocksure while the intelligent are full of doubt.

Oh, that is saddening. I saw him play with Can, Phantomband, Drums Off Chaos and on other occasions in the 70s, 80s and 90s in Cologne.
He was part of the local scene, always friendly and open-minded towards newcomers and everything that was going on in the culture ...
Cologne without him and some others had not been what it was back in the days ... :( :( :( ...
