On shit!

(Someone had to do it)

Didn’t they do ‘Oh Shit’ though?

 

[Weststander]

He was 63. Heart attack, it seems.

I saw them in 1977, last year and many times inbetween. Part of my youth has gone.

So, so sad.

I hope Pete lived life to the full.

There is that ...

 

[Harry Wilson's tackle]

RIP. Spiral Scratch was my favourite first release among Damned, Clash, Pistols and Buzzcocks. Oh my - New Rose, Whte Riot and Anarchy in the UK. We won't see an onslaught like that ever again.

In honour of the spirit of punk, I'm not going to correct it.

RIP Pete. Top Rank in 1978 was a bit of a hoot.

Good tributes on BBC6 Music at the moment and with more songs to come.

 

[Pavilionaire]

RIP Pete, now up there with Vicious and Strummer.

 

[Return of the Rev]

RIP Pete. Top Rank in 1978 was a bit of a hoot.

Blimey, I must have had some sort of premonition as I was singing I Believe when I was cooking tea this evening. What a great band the Buzzcocks were. I saw them in the Vault in January 1977 when Shelley played his sawn-off guitar and they only had a handful of songs. I saw them many times after that and they were always superb.

His disco record, Homosapien, was pretty damn good too.

Warsaw Pakt? If so, Lucus Fox on drums. Original Motorhead drummer.

I vaguely remember stuff getting nicked but not who support was

 

[osgood]

That’s very sad.
Buzzcocks was the first gig I ever went to. I was 14 and it was at the Top rank Brighton 1978 when the placed got trashed. Brilliant night.
Unlike with many other punk bands I’ve not got tired of listening to the buzzcocks.

i was there too , the crowd got to their stuff before the roadies , all because they wouldnt do an encore on top of their 40minute set !
Thats what they got !
RIP Pete

Sad news and not that young, most of us would have grown up with Buzzcocks music and he was quite a producer to in his own right as well.

 

[Blue3]

Saw the Buzzcocks back in the late 1970s ever fallen in love was the perfect teenage pop song 63 is no age and as a contemporary of myself I am finding as each year passes so do so many others RIP thoughts and prayers go out to his family and friends

 

[OzMike]

Sad news and not that old, most of us would have grown up with Buzzcocks music and he was quite a producer to in his own right as well.

Corrected.

Just woken up to see this. Crap start to the day. As others have said, another huge chunk of my youth gone. Up there with Strummer (who also died in December) in terms of influence and the creator of so many wonderful songs and memories. RIP Pete and thanks x
