RIP Andrew Weatherall

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.

Outstanding human being, from what could be gathered from interviews, having never met him. Definitely too young to pass. RIP Andrew, thanks for being a major contributor to my early 'actually some of this dance s**t is okay innit?' years. :( :notworthy:

RIP also to the legendary Harry Gregg. Not only a pretty decent goalkeeper for Manchester United, also rather a good man to have around in a crisis.

A sad day on both counts, well said sir. Respect from the other Red tribe.

Aye, there's many a classic tune and a whole genre that a very young me would never have investigated and happily fallen into, if it wasn't for him and a couple of other like minded Musicians and DJ's :notworthy:

This interview gives a fair measure of the fellow...

i only heard this sad news a few minutes ago. i met weatherall when we were doing techno clubs in london and he was a genuinely nice guy. too fiucking young by half. :|
Well I was handsome and I was strong
And I knew the words to every song.
"Did my singing please you?"
"No! The words you sang were wrong!"
