This is a very tenuous musical link (he directed a film about Paganini), but no-one comes close to disorder and genius as much as the late Klaus Kinski:

 


(Anyone here seen his Paganini film? Glice?)

im actually a big lavey fan, and the satanic bible is a fantastic read, but most of its appeal comes from it being the rantings of a madman

Everyneurotic 07.29.2008 06:32 PM

Peter Green

He's been rehabilitated to an extent in the last several years... but apparently his playing has gone to Hell (and he's STILL a few screws loose). Fucking Grateful Dead ruined him to begin with, thanks to their shit LSD.

you mean the fleetwood mac guiarist from the 60's when they were a blues band?

Did anyone say R. Kelly yet?

atsonicpark 07.30.2008 09:06 AM

every interview with fahey I've watched, he seems out of his mind or he has some disease. Also, in his later years, he would forget the names of his songs, play them, uh, differently live... and always wear sunglasses indoors. Probably had a lot to do with his alcoholism, but supposedly he was pretty, uh, "eccentric" his whole life...

... R. Kelley
