discreet Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 They were indeed special. Good times. RIP. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Huge Hands Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Another hero of mine gone today (first Lemmy, Pavel Srnicek - former Newcastle goakeeper and now John). A sad, sad day. What a fantastic drummer he was - loved watching him on the reunion gig footage from a couple of years ago - still dead tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RickyV Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Sad times. The Specials were a huge part of my youth and I was so glad I got to see them on their reunion tour a few years ago. Probably the most fun I have ever had at a gig. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Froggy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 2015 has been a bad year for music in general. RIP Brad Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkHeart Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 I was never a Specials fan or anything from that genre but he made other people happy and entertained them with his music for that I raise a glass. RIP Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
taunton-hobbit Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 The harsh reality is that as we grow older, so do our peers and our heroes, it's the 'letting go' that is so hard sometimes - I used Free Nelson Mandela as a juke box/sound system test track for years..........

Kirky Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 At a recent Q&A session that Horace Panter did in Harrogate he was full of praise for John's drumming and general musicianship and said that John was the only member of The Specials who could improvise. Very sad. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Raggy Posted December 29, 2015 Share Posted December 29, 2015 Gutted. Seriously good drummer. We cover quite a few Specials tunes. He was a proper technician with his playing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jezzaboy Posted December 30, 2015 Share Posted December 30, 2015 (edited) Was never a 2 tone fan until I watched them on Jools when they got back together. An excellent drummer and looked cool as f**k behind the black and white drum kit. https://youtu.be/KaV9GYPSM94 Edited December 30, 2015 by jezzaboy Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
