Vicious was just a personality. We can both agree on that.
The whole death thing was probably a publicity stunt hatched by Mclaren.
I plan to check out Swindle next chance I get. Any opinions on the relatively recent reunion tour they did?

I suppose it doesn't make them any less of a 'real' band, but in depends on what context your using the term. As for their music, I have nothing against it. I actually enjoy some of their songs. And their was no doubt they influenced a great deal of people and are a big part of music history. |
