RIP Andy Rourke

Recommended Posts

His basslines influenced a generation of musicians who influenced a another generation after them

Listening to "Rank" all day and his performance on (Marie's the Name) His Latest Flame/Rusholme Ruffians is legendary. The whole set is amazing.

My Mount Rushmore. This one hurt, saw him at a DJ set about a decade ago. Feels like it was yesterday, RIP.

In one year, about 15 years ago by now, I saw all of them perform separately in phoenix: Morrissey solo, Marr with Modest Mouse, and a DJ set each by Joyce and Rourke in a tiny indie club. Closest i got to "seeing the smiths" *shrug*

Damn. Favorite band of all time, and always held the ridiculous, impossible hope of a reunion tour. Alas.
RIP Andy.

Yep, me too. Always hoped for a reunion.

One of my three or four most favorite bands of all time.

Yeah. A favorite band at one of my favorite venues on my birthday. I was mesmerized by Johnny Marr while everyone else was watching Morrissey.
