Bruhn was quite diplomatic
when this community asked him:
HL: Is Eldritch actually as good a guitarist (sitting down anyway) as people seem to think?
Bruhn: When I was with the band, he could not provide an eight-minute guitar solo while lying on his back, but a rhythm guitar portion without any prancing involved was not a problem.

Andeas is an ACTUAL guiitarist. when i said that for a while eldritch was the only one who could play he wasnt up against any sort of stiff competiton
reminds me of my fave John Lennon quote:
fan: hey john, dont you think Ringo is the best drummer in the world?
Lennon: i'm not even sure hes the best drummer in the beatles...

...which (I only recently learned) isn't actually a John Lennon quote at all.

The text of the tweet:
“Ringo wasn’t even the best drummer in the Beatles.” Never said by John Lennon. Jasper Carrott’s office claimed it as 1983 gag; proof now it was said earlier, in BBC comedy Radio Active in Oct 1981. File here. Voice by Philip Pope. Written by Geoffrey Perkins. Not by John Lennon.
Followed by an audio clip of the joke.
I was amazed too when I found out.

In my book 8 minutes solo proves a wank
radio mic, he was irritated and said something like "bollocks to this, going to find an instrument with a cable". and right after these words we could see Chris trying to hand him his guitar. AE face at that moment was priceless
