RIP Andy Gill

What a band and a very influential guitarist.  Great bass on many songs too.  A real shame.

And a quote (seen in the BBC news article):

"I always think of the guitar as being part of a larger instrument, which is the band," Gill added. "What I always find uninspiring is when guitarists treat the rest of the band as a background over which they show off."

I saw them for the "Songs of the Free" tour in New Jersey. Just the 4-piece Andy made sounds that would put the Edge to shame Sara Lee was Awesome I didn't stop dancing the entire nite. One of the best shows ever!

Big fan of Gang of Four. Andy Gill was indeed an innovator; it’s a pity that the guitarists he influenced are often more lauded than he ever was.
