Deffo another hoax

[Sammers]

It's strange as it's on his Official Twitter, Facebook and Website. Surely someone in the JB PR camp would check before posting?

Very sad news indeed if it's true, Tales of Brave Ulysses was one of the tracks that made me want to play.

Taken from the website;

[quote]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif]The website mediamass.net is the medium of our satire to expose with humour, exaggeration and ridicule the contemporary mass production and mass consumption that we observe[/font][/color]
[color=#000000][font=arial, sans-serif]Also it will not only mock the producers (mainstream media, journalists) as it is common when questioning and criticizing mass media, but also the consumers as one cannot exist without the other. Sensationalism, lack of verification of information, ethics and standards issues are only symptoms of the actual social and economic order. This is particularly obvious when observing the role of social networking sites in spreading rumours.[/font][/color]

Hoax last week, apparently real today.

Jeff Berlin has mentioned it too now.

[ebenezer]

if this is a hoax,i think it's cruel and in very bad taste

[Russ]

Supposedly, it happened on Thursday and it's not being reported by any legit news sites yet, so I still think it's a hoax. He probably used the same passwords for Twitter, Facebook and his site's CMS or something.

[ezbass]

Massive 'unlike' a sad day for our community.

[Coilte]

Very sad news. Amazing bassist who has left an enduring legacy, a huge influence on many of us here no doubt.

[Russ]

He hadn't really been well since his liver transplant. When Cream did their reunion a few years back he sang and played great, but looked dreadful (then again, Ginger Baker looked worse). That press pic that's on the BBC site right now is not flattering.

[lojo]

Sad, like I'm sure many others my age, some of his baselines where the first I learned.
