First Ron Asheton and now Lux……I’m gutted, seriously…..it’s almost like loosing family. 😥

hopefuly they’ve joined up with Keith Moon and are playing in the baddest, loudest, nastiest, Rock ‘n’ Roll band ever.

….keep on raising hell you guys….I’m gonna miss you so much. :metal:

I remember seeing “Tear It Up” for the first time in High School on Urgh! A Music War. Lux is so completely and deliciously out of his gourd in that performance. You have to be dead to watch that and not want to start a punk band. Granted, a lot of Lux’s style was very Iggy-influenced, but The Cramps took it to a whole other level of debauchery.

For some reason, I never even considered that Lux was a mortal… Don’t ask me why because I can’t tell you, but the most shocking part of this isn’t that he died – it’s my realization that he was able to.

I find it hard to mourn the death of musicians because they live eternally in their records and that’s all I ever knew them for anyways. This passing is not much different, although it cuts me a little deeper than usual – Bad Music for Bad People singlehandedly restored my interest in punk music, and it’s not even a ‘real’ record. If I had a nickle for every time I threw on Songs The Lord Taught Us or Fiends of Dope Island and immediately lamented my lack of LSD, I would have enough money to… buy some LSD, I guess.

RIP Lux.
