RIP in peace. Stereophonics went downhill after he left IMHO. Great drummer, great personality, always played with a smile on his face.

sad news - i had the misfortune of working away in Birmingham a couple of years back and used to enjoy his Kerrang show. He always managed to slip in Stereophonics song as well, gotta keep the royalies coming in i guess!
Way too young as well, RIP

Bloody hell only just heard this...he was a great drummer.
Saw Stereophonics years ago when he played with them...fantastic musician and will be missed...the band went downhill after he left anyway.

RIP to a top drummer

Record sales are down.....artists and record companies are losing big time.....Simon Bastard Cowel is raking it in.....so how do you generate interest and sales in a band......posthumously.

Why do the reports say cause of death is not yet established but there are no suspicious circumstances?? Surely all sudden deaths are suspicious until cause of death is established??

It's funny how the sheeple are brainwashed into word association to link the words 'conspiracy' and 'Theory' together thus suggesting all conspiracies are only theories. Whereas socially accepted 'facts' like The Ice Age, Evolution, Big Bang etc are no more than 'theories' themselves.
How many people are aware of 'facts' like Operation Northwoods, or the PNAC documents.....both of which would change written history as we know it if they were studied in schools.....
But hey, this is a music forum.....

# Posted by Alyerpal - 07/06/2010, 14:16 (GMT)

Beg to differ Gary, but 'The Ice Age' is a bit more than a 'theory', there is factual evidence for it. Big Bang and Evolution, however, are still being argued.

I do not wish to start a mass conspiracy debate on this forum but the only 'evidence' for an ICE AGE was a polar bear skull 'found' in a Scottish cave.....I believe the Ice Age was a 'man made' event from a think tank of powerful people who wanted to offer a different solution to the Biblical flood story, thus discrediting religion so 'they' could gain control of the 'flock' ....just as Evolution discredits the 'creation' stories.....
PLEASE don't get me started.....

I'm not saying you're wrong, so don't get your back up. All I'm saying is it's an interesting topic and not one I thought you would have any interest in (from the little that I know about you). Just goes to show.

Personally, I prefer scientifically proven facts to socially accepted ones. Conspiracies often fall somewhere between the two and are therefore still theories (in my eyes). And unless you've actually seen and examined evidence that can prove or disprove events (and only the priviledged have), then you're just another sheeple following a different crowd.

A really good band in the early days; I had the privilege of seeing them at a free festival in Cardiff while visiting mates in the mid 90s.

BTW evolution is pretty much established scientific fact. The details of the how/why/when of it are being hotly debated.

"JFK was killed because he wouldn't sign the 'Operation Northwoods' document"

..... and the person who replaced him subsequently signed it and the acts of terrorism against the United States by themselves went ahead, leading to that war they had with Cuba.

Can't find that bit of history anywhere!!

Not the first time I've been called a politician. And don't quote the burning down of the Reichstag Building like it's absolute fact. Most historians today state that Van der Lubbe acted alone, and the Reichstag fire was merely a stroke of good luck for the Nazis.

Cue comments of defending Nazis and being a sheeple.

Nooooo, just don't believe everything you read. That argument applies to BOTH sides of EVERY story.

Gary, talk about classic politicing. You take EVERYTHING ANYBODY says and twist it to your own ends on a regular basis. I didn't actually say I had an opinion either way. You're a classic spin doctor.

Show me hard proof of these conspiracies and I might be inclined to believe some of it. Until then, take nothing for granted, question everything and trust no-one. Or follow the ramblings of a few liberal loonies on the internet and be a proper sheeple.

Maybe the Americans killed Stuart Cable so the Russians didn't get to him first? I didn't see Obama on the news today so he definitely had the opportunity. And he doesn't like rock music. That's motive. And he has access to the resources required to pull of such a daring mission. FUCK IT. GUILTY AS CHARGED.

Hard proof of a conspiracy ?????
If such proof existed it would no longer be a conspiracy.....more double-speak.....and you say I twist everything.....but offer nothing to prove your outrageous claim.
Everything I've said on here can be researched, if you are willing to put in the effort.....most sheeple are happy with the accepted version of historical events without ever being aware of documents like Operation Northwoods, PNAC and Project MASCAL etc.....
Happy reading

You are correct, a conspiracy is no longer a conspiracy when there is hard proof to establish that it was an actual event. That's not double speak. That's the simple truth. With such a comprehensive list of conspiracies, you would think that just one would have provided at least some solid evidence? Question everything.

In the case of Operation Northwoods there is an actual document which outlines the plans of the American government....hard factual evidence....
Same with PNAC...
Same with MASCAL...and many others.
