RIP Andy

Who?

 

[Nibiru]

I personally find people commentating "who?" on a post like this to be some of the lowest-hanging fruit in society. My 2c.

Condolences to all his fans.

 

[UrBaN963]

I listened to snippets of each of the songs posted.

Rest in Silence.

[Roo!]

RIP Andy, thanks for the tunes and memories.

Between him and Hookie they changed the idea of what bass could do forever.

 

[AstroTurf]

Who?

Grownup music.

RIP Andy.

That was a rather shitty comment. I too, remember the Smiths. Are you going to be smug about my estimated remaining years as well?

You’re probably more past it than him.

Edit: with all due respect.

One hit wonders I'm sure.

Ah, doubling down I see. May your health be as strong as your ability to admit when you are wrong

Oh how wong you are.

huh ?

Later in his career, Rourke played as part of a supergroup called Freebass with two other Mancunian bass players, Gary "Mani" Mounfield, from the Stone Roses, and Peter Hook, from New Order.

Across his decades-long career, Rourke also recorded with the Pretenders, Killing Joke, Sinead O'Connor, Aziz Ibrahim (formerly of the Stone Roses), and former Oasis guitarist Bonehead as Moondog One - a band which also included Mike Joyce and Craig Gannon.
He also played with another Manchester singer-songwriter Badly Drawn Boy, joining his touring band for two years.

Unfortunately the only time people notice the bassist is when they are no more.

Deep condolences.

You're a retard if you think that.

 

[ShaunSA]

Philistines. You can't tell me you've never heard of The Smiths.

Everybody knows Will and Jada

Stab my ear drums, please make it stop. I could never get into this song.

This is more like it. Legendary track.

I quite like the cover version too by T.A.T.U.

Also Placebo did a version of Bigmouth Strikes Again, but they changed the lyrics from walkman to discman

The cuck and the racist can **** the **** off.

 

[Pineapple Smurf]

I don't listen to bullshit so I, too, have to ask who?

Stick to your kwaito township music then
