We lost another one on Wednesday, January 13. Sylvain Sylvain of the New York Dolls passed away. Not only did he play rhythm guitar in the Dolls, he was responsible for their look. Coming from a family that worked in the clothing business he designed the spandex pants and androgyny that became their signature style.
Though we think of him as a New Yorker, he had lived in Atlanta for a number of years. I guess that is where some of the NY punkers find refuge. Wayne/Jayne County, of Wayne County and the Electric Chairs also moved there. I knew he was battling cancer. It is still strange when it is people you enjoy seeing perform. Very talented and a nice guy. I got to meet him twice. The first time was 2010 at the Black Cat in Washington, D.C. when he was with the Batusis. The second time was in 2013 at Jammin Java in Vienna, VA when he was doing a punk acoustic tour with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols. Sylvain at the Black Cat sylvain-2.jpg Sylvain at the Black Cat. The other guitar player is Cheetah Chrome of the legendary punk band the Dead Boys ("Sonic Reducer"). On drums is Lez Warner of The Cult. sylvain-4.jpg Sylvain with Glen Matlock of the Sex Pistols - Jammin Java sylvain-matlock-2.jpg Sylvain at Jammin Java sylvain-matlock-3.jpg Neither Jammin Java nor the Red Room at the Black Cat uses tickets. I rely on these: black cat.jpg matlock sylvain 5.jpg I thought I had a signed copy of his first solo album. I either traded it or sold it. My favorite song on it was "Teenage News". He told me his favorite was "14th Street Beat". Here is a signed copy of the 45 'Fool for You Baby" b/w "Pills" live. This was a 2011 Record Store Day release dolls 1.jpg

Every time a rock star dies I now think of you, as I did 3 days ago with Sylvain.

WOW I just read through this thread... absolutely epic! And not something I expected to see on this forum. One band I'd.like to ask Doug about is Sacrilege B.C., because I think their Party with God album is one of the best from the Bay area thrash scene, but I almost NEVER hear them talked about or see pics from back in the day. I've got this old flyer from a show they did with Sadus (before my time) but that's it.

That poster is from 1987, I had seen Death Angel / Forbidden Evil / Hellhound at the Stone in October, but then gone to Europe with Attitude, and had only been home a couple days (about 100 miles from SF) so the 200 mile round trip didn't appeal to me (and my mom would have been pretty annoyed, haha) If you like "absolutely epic" you may enjoy : https://haggisbuffet.blogspot.com/2004/03/ Start at the beginning and just keep going, there are some legendary posts on that blog.

MITFR is like a year book for me. Among my other appearances, I'm the guy in the Devo shirt.
